Your Weekday Update With...

Three days of class down, way too many to go. This is going to be a long semester, I can tell because all of my classes already suck but 1. It looks like I will have 1 "easy" class, by easy I mean it would be compared to a hard business class. It is a class I should be able to get a 3.5 fairly easily. In one of my classes I think I am going to struggle. The professor said his average grade is normally around 60% or less. Is it me or does that sound wrong? A 2.0 in that class is a 70% Now doesn't that even sound worse.
Now that I am back on campus I am reminded of how so many people don't know how to walk. Well they can walk physically fine (for the most part), they just don't know how to walk with traffic (foot and vehicle). How hard is it to walk on the right side of the sidewalk. Also bike riders need to stay in the bike paths, and people walking stay out of bike paths.
Today by Wells Hall there were a few different people yelling all day. They have good intensions by trying to tell people about god, but in the manner they do it, people laugh at them and they become a joke. They annoy people and and push people away from Christianity. They aren't friendly to people and basically tell everyone that they are going to hell. Oh something else I saw in that area Monday was this table that supports Palestine. They were saying how the Palestinians have been mis-treated by our government, Israel, and the rest of the world. Man I wanted to punch these people in the face. Just look at how much Israel has done to try to compromise and make the Palestinians happy. All of the countries have been trying to help make it fair, but Palestine wants more always. They are the ones doing to suicide bombings. Israel even gave them land to make their own, but that isn't good enough, they still think all Jews should leave.
But I guess everyone has their own right to their opinions, and I guess that is what I put in here. Except for walking...LEARN TO WALK PEOPLE!
What happened from hurricane Katrina is tragic. In a way though, what do you expect. All of these homes were crappy housing, and New Orleans is already like 10 feet below sea level. You know a hurricane would hit there sooner or late. That is like moving to California and thinking there will never be an earthquake. At least with the hurricane there was plenty warning, that all of these people ignored. Then New Orleans floods and havoc breaks loose. All of these people that live there, instead of trying to help the issue, start to loot all the stores. I could see the people that need food, stealing some food cuz no store is open. But I saw video of people stealing TVs and everything else. YOU IDIOTS, you don't even have power, and wont for at least a month. Instead of all these poor people stealing stuff they cant use, why don't they get together and start working to fix the area?
Anyway I realize this post is long. I still have a few other things on my mind, but I will hold off till some other time.
Upcomming Events
Friday-Bar night (KO and Eric are back in town)
Saturday-MSU Football Game (Tailgating before?)

Another Year

Well life is about to end for me. No I am not committing suicide, College starts back up tomorrow. No more fun time, no more sleeping in, now my time will be occupied with going to class, walking around campus, living in the engineering building, and then working weekends. I do however get Laborday weekend off!
Something I also have learned was that I have to take an exam that says I am going to be an engineer in training. This is seperate from my college degree. Then after working in the field for at least 2 years under 3 licenced engineers, I then have to take another exam to become a licensed engineer. I just start thinking what is the real point of college? After leaving high school, going straight into the field working would be way more productive. Four years working in a field I would be able to learn way more about that field, and on top of that I would be able to make money instead of spending thousands and racking up loans.
Life should start again next summer and then after I graduate in a year and a half. But then I still have to worry about becoming a licensed engineer.

This school years goals for me:
  • Pass all of my classes with at least a 2.5
  • Get a girlfriend (although this has been a goal for a while now)
  • Average at least 6.5 hours of sleep a night
  • Enjoy New Years and still be able to remember it

I will also try to keep updating this blog, although no body reads this. It is almost more for me just to get a few things off of my mind. I hope everyone enjoys this school year (as much as you can enjoy school).

Free as a Bird

Starting to feel sick :-(
Bonfire at Nicks tomorrow

Sometimes I wish that I am that one guy from American Beauty that video tapes everthing, or at least carry a video camera with me all of the time. It would be nice to video tape some things that make me smile so when ever I feel down I could just pop in one of my tapes and feel good.
Something today that caught my interest was a baby bird. This small bird appeared to fall out of its nest in a pine tree. I watched it for a little while as it tried to run around in the grass as it chirped like crazy. Instead of helping it out I decided just to watch it for a bit and make sure it was fine, and see if its parents would find it. Then I noticed that it adventured a little further away from the tree it fell from. Next I hear another chirp, and look to see this little birds mother. It flies down and flaps its wings right in front of the baby and then flies away. Next the baby started flapping its wings as it was walking to where the mother went to. The baby couldnt quite fly but it was trying so hard. I watched for a little bit longer as the mother bird kept chirping and flying a little further away and the baby followed on the ground occasionally flapping its wings. I then had to head back to work, and came back in about 5 minutes to check on it and the birds were in the next yard over and the mother was teaching the bird to get food in the ground. Somehow watching this was just so interesting to me.
Well now...I am out like the fat kid in dodge ball.
