Post 176 | Think Positive

Hell I am almost there. Less than three weeks left and this hell of a semester is done. It has been kicking my butt hardcore and I am so tired of it I just want to walk up to my various teachers and throw the respective books for those classes in their faces. That may sound a little violent, but hey, that's what it feels like to be a college kid.

Life has been good, there was a rough week or two in there somewhere but I decided to be happy instead of pissed of all the time at the little things in my relationship, and guess what? It worked! I believe my girlfriend and I are as happy as ever right now, and why we are no longer in the "honeymoon" phase anymore, I am quite happy with where things are.

Let's see what else... Indeed school is crazy and hurts my head on a daily basis but like I said before, I am almost done with this semester then I will have a much needed break. I am going to begin working at the campus radio station more regularly now, which is good because I need the money. I also go in tomorrow morning-ish to see what responsibilities are included in being the online editor for the school newspaper.

Getting involved right? I don't have band anymore and these are both things I am interested in. Very much so. I like the idea of posting the news stories on the internet simply because it is the most interesting form of media to be involved with right now. With the evolution of HTML-5 and websites becoming more and more interesting and easy to use and f-ing fantastic, it only makes sense that our school's newspaper explore what kind of presence it can make for itself online.

Oh but this radio gig, I think the first time is going to be the scariest, I am just so unsure of myself but I think I can do it, and if I have any problems the guy said I could call him, he is only two minutes away, which is great. My only concern right now is getting into the building on Friday night haha.

I always say I am going to write in here more but I never do, I have been way to concerned with taking care of myself and getting my life on a good path and just trying to have a great time and try not to look down on the little things too much. I know I am looking down on the rest of the semester, but give me a break on that one? I am beyond tired of this semester.

I am going to Chicago on Saturday with my class and we have to spend upwards of 30 bucks. I MEAN WHAT? ARE YOU CRAZY? Having to spend more money after the book and paying for the class itself paying even more money to do something is just dumb. Making us take the train downtown, and the EL and the bus and a taxi? Are you kidding? I don't have that kind of money to just throw around. BLARG.

On top of it all I got sick tonight, not a cold sick, but a bad stomach ache sick and that was most unpleasant, hopefully I will feel better tomorrow.

I just thought of something negative I could say about my girlfriend, but I chose to ignore it in my head and think of the positives instead, it made me smile, which is good! People should be smiling more and frowning less. Think of the positive! We don't have the power to change the entire world anyway we want and we should really just live with what we are given and deal with it and make the best out of it instead of trying to change everything to suit our exact needs.

I can say all this and still only slightly believe in God right? Ok cool. I am reading this really good book Blue Like Jazz and am really digging it, you guys should check it out whether you are religious or not, it's quite funny and even thought it is about a guy believing in God, or his path to God, it is really interesting to read about and study.

Ok I think that is enough of me on my pedestal for one night, I should probably catch some shut-eye, not too long of a day tomorrow, but a lot of homework to get done for College Writing II and Persuasion and Media Influence (the second of which is the Chicago trip). Thanks for reading guys, I really appreciate it. Talk to you guys later!
