I’ve been back to school for three weeks now and have gotten into a nice swing. This semester is a little odd for me but in a good way. Normally, I am all stressed out about the workload and feel like a fish out of water, but this semester not so much. I did at the beginning start to panic that I might not be cut out for this, but that has kind of gone away. I think part of it being that this semester my marketing, producing, and writing class are all something that tend to be more of my stronger areas. While I may not know a lot about producing, the tediousness of the tasks and the business aspect make the homework enjoyable. As for my writing class, I came in having a pretty thorough idea of the story I want to tell so it makes that homework not too hard either. The only class I am unsure of is editing. If I was just messing around with editing something for fun that is one thing, but doing it for a class when this doesn’t come naturally for me is hard.
So yeah, school wise life is well good…regular life on the other hand I could do without.
I am beginning to reach that point where I am just plain tired of treading this stupid water (sound familiar?). It seems like every time things begin to look up, I am smacked with something that ruins it. I know it probably seems like I say this every year…but this past year (from Nov 2010-now) has been horrible! I don’t expect life to be fair, growing up with a rare disease makes you realize how unfair it is, but I would like just some time maybe a year to catch my breath before heading into crap. There are only a few good things I can think of that occurred this year and they do not in any way outweigh the bad. If this keeps up I may just let myself drown cause by golly this feeling of treading water is worse.
In a nutshell that is the end of my August and most of Sept. As you can tell it has been bleh and to make matters worse, I am just in a plain old argumentative mood…well not with everyone but there are some people who I wouldn’t mind picking a fight with…verbally that is.
So here is to the wonderful holiday season( sarcastic tone) not a big fan of Christmas or Thanksgiving anymore…maybe because I’ve worked retail 5 years and am trying to find a job again in retail. Though I do love the fall weather and snow, so I will definitely be praying for a double blizzard again. I probably won’t be writing a ton this semester unless something uber amazing happens with my Independent film idea and/or some breaking news happens with the whole SGM debacle which by the way only continues to get interesting. Leave men in charge of an organization that they run to stroke their egos and all you get is some good plot material.
So yeah, that is currently my thought process as of 12 A.M. on a Tuesday night.
