First Day, Year Two
Today went ok. Parking took way too long but traffic wasn't too bad. Saw some old friends.Right now I'm just feeling mentally bleh. Kinda bummed about several things at the moment. Stupid hurricane is supposed to stop by sometime but I wish it'd hurry up because I could really use a good rain right about now.
I was so happy today that my three computer engineering buddies were all gonna be in a few of my classes this semester. But I've just been informed two out of the three have already dropped those classes and are changing majors because they "don't want to sit on their butts all day and stare at code." Lamest thing I've ever heard. Vicki also switched out of the computer engineering major. So that leaves Craig, Dustin, Camilo, and Vincent. And that also leaves me unsure.
Do I really want to do this? I feel really stupid. I don't even really know any languages very well. Everyone else seems to already have great mountains of computer knowledge stored away in their brains. Well you know what? Everyone has to start somewhere and I just am going to start at the beginning. Who cares if know one else wants to start there with me? Oh wait I do.
Well I think I'm going to try these classes and if things don't work out this semester perhaps I'll follow the group and switch to something I'm better at. But I don't think I should expect myself to be great at computers without some work involved or at least giving it my best shot. I probably shouldn't do either if I don't like/enjoy it. But I really don't know what I want at this point. Grr.
Other downers of today: full parking garage and just about every other parking lot on campus. Dead baby kitten in the road on the way home. I had to drive with it under the center of the car and it was depressing. Really, I wanted to vomit or cry. What's the deal with my emotions? Yeah it's that time of the month, give me a break already.
So instead of going to my first class tomorrow with my friends, I might end up alone now that they bailed on me. Kinda sad, but could be good. I miss eating lunch, going to Starbucks, sitting in the MC, and chilling in the library. Hopefully I can work those into my schedule this week.
The pictures of the plague doctors on wikipedia are really creepy. Insanely creepy. Ugh. That is really bothering me. Thank you Zach for the link. The "doctors" weren't even really doctors have the time because the professionals were too scared likely to deal with the plague. Metal masks with beaks for smelly stuff and crystal eyes... Completely covered in black cloth. They don't even look human. It's depressing that scientists today still aren't certain about what was what during the Black Plague era. Stupid rats spread some of it. It's crazy to read about all the deaths or rather "depopulation" and then to think of today's bird flu. I wish it would rain and I could just stay inside all day and play guitar or sleep or something!
Wow it's two am. I think I've officially lost my mind.
Hurry up and rain!!

Hey! In relation to your (/my) major switch: like my mum told me, "do what you feel is right".. if you feel that Computer Engineering is the right major for you, then continue with it.. if you feel that you need to switch, switch then into something more that you would enjoy :)..

Aww I'm sorry that you won't have people in your classes. And I gotta agree with Vicki there, do what you feel you can spend the rest of your life enjoying. That's why I'm going towards Art or writing or something therein, because I know for sure I'll always have a passion and interest in it and I love it, and it makes me happy. If I were in it for the money, being an Artist is definately the last thing on the list of things to do lol. So yea, feel it out, maybe take a class in another subject you feel you might like, to get a bit of a feel for it, ya know? Good luck this year though ^_^ I'll be cheering from the sidelines!
