new dorm room layout!

back @ school

I'm happy to report that my computer now has an internet connection! It hasn't had one since May when I left for the summer. It was sadly missed. Oddly, I didn't clear out the history before I packed up my laptop for the summer, and so I have a whole browser history full of odd websites that I have no idea why I visited them... and also some really cool sites that I had forgotten about. It's strange looking through my old haunts but it sure makes for a lot of interesting archive reading to catch up!
...Not that I'll have time to catch up. Class starts tomorrow at 6pm, but before that I have to buy all of my books and unload the truckful of stuff that my parents are bringing up for me and then unpack it all. Yikes.

Tomorrow!

Tomorrow is back to campus day! Yikes!!! I do NOT want to go back. I mean, I'm sure once I'm there and in the 'groove' of things, I'll be fine and loving it again. But as of right now, I just have no desire whatsoever to attempt to get back into my groove. Even buying folders and matching notebooks for each class and then organizing them with the Day/Time/Class/Room-# still didn't put me in the mood to go to class.
Here's my schedule:

I'll try to post more often, hopefully with pictures :)

wow

Um.. Time flies fast when you're... well, busy I guess. I couldn't say having fun, but life isn't miserable at the moment either so we'll just leave it at busy, ok?

I'm wondering if I should delete my hosting account/URL. What do you people think? IF I do delete it, I'll just go back to my old one (http://aliengurl.blogspot.com) since that's free and easy enough to do. I kind of hate to give up this though, it's like my own little spot on the web. Even if I don't do anything with it, it's nice to have.

On the other hand... I'm also thinking about re-doing this site completely. Having an entrance page with links to journal/pics/whathaveyou. However this seems like entirely too much work for me. And I only have like 10 days left of vacation so maybe that's not such a good thing to undertake right now.

10 days left before school begins again. I'll be a junior! Impossible. I find it astonishing to think that I'm on the 2nd half of my college years now. And I've changed my mind, in one of my entire-life altering decisions I've decided NOT to become a lawyer. This subject has come up a lot as various friends find out I"m going back to school...
"back to the law books huh?"
--"no, I've decided not to be a lawyer."
"What are you taking now?"
--"I'm an english and philosophy major"
"So you're going to be a teacher."

Ahhhh! Honestly, I thought about becoming a teacher. And I decided I most likely won't be able to do it. I don't have the dedication it takes to grade papers when I'd rather be doing other stuff, nor do I have the patience to teach and inspire people to learn what they really don't want to. I just can't see myself becoming a teacher. And so when I answer negatively, I'm asked what I'm going to do then. "I don't know" is my reply. And I get a negative shake of the head. As if it really matters to them whether or not I'm happy with my career choice. Excuse me for not wanting to wake up when I'm 30ish and realize I hate my job. I want to be happy, dangit! :)
