Some Days

Some days I feel like quiting
It seems so hard and rough
But when I think it over
It's not so very tough

I could sail across the ocean
Or soar over the land
Like a ship without a harbor
Or a bird that needs a hand

I have so many options
Sitting right before my eyes
The decision is a hard one
So what would you advise?

I wish I had no worries
As in the times of yore
But since that time's behind me
I'll forget them ever more

For looking at the past
Won't get you very far
And hoping for the future
Won't get you that new car

So live within the present
Forget about all else
Praise the living Savior
And make something of yourself

Money, money, money!

I'm rolling in it! Not really though. After I get done with college I will probably be left in debt up to my ears. But I was thinking, since right now I have a few thousand dollars, that maybe I should invest it by purchasing some land. It would be smart to invest my money to make interest on it because, if I am forced to take out a college loan, it would have low or no interest. I could thus be making more money on an investment than I am losing on college loans. I don't know why people don't take out loans during college and invest money at the same time so that when they are done the money they have made will have created interest and helped them pay off their debt in full or at least helped them significantly. Maybe I'm missing some important information that would not allow this, but it seems like a good idea from where I stand.

These are my plans for my future house. They might be hard to understand but they will probably change anyways.

The College Experience Continues

Well, I got back to PSU at about 6:15 p.m. on Sunday. Originally my ride wanted to leave at 5 a.m. to beat the traffic, but luckily Jenn Prather offered to take me down later in the day so I was able to go to church and spend a little more time with my family. Not to mention the extra hour or two of sleep I got. It really sucks to come back after such an extended vacation. I can't wait til summer! When I was home I had no obligations or actual responsibilities although I did do chores every day. I had a lot of fun and did whatever I felt like. Well, now I'm back to a schedule and routine. Yesterday I went and purchased all of my books. It cost me less than $250 so I was pretty happy. I also went around and looked for some of my classrooms. Today was the first day of classes. It was my easiest day because I only had two classes and was done by 12:05 but tomorrow will suck with four classes. Oh well, I guess I'll just have to deal with it. I hope I can learn to be a little less pessimistic sometime soon. I can always look forward to spring break in March!

Home at last!

Yes, I am home on Christmas break. It has already been depleted in length by a week in which I have been doing more work than I had originally intended. You know at college I get to sleep whenever I please and have not gotten up at 6:00 a.m. since the last time I was home at Thanksgiving break. Being roused at this time in the morning is not something I enjoy. I am definitely not a morning person! Not that I'm really a night owl either, but college has been making me lean more and more towards this lifestyle; however despising it might be. I was able to get a five hour nap in one day though. I just went upstairs when no one was looking and you know the old saying out of sight out of mind. I have also been having some very strange dreams since I have been home. (I like strange dreams). I think it would be nice to stay home forever but I suppose I will go back to school despite my disgust with the whole secondary education crap. You can't live with it and you can't live without it you know. I just hope that eight years flies by so quickly that I don't even notice I have wasted so much of my life. I just hope it's worth it when I'm done. If I just suffer through maybe I will enjoy the rest of my life a little more than the first eighteen years. Sorry to be so depressing. I'll cheer up now. Make sure to have a Happy New Year!

How to be an idiot

I want to reveal to you how easy it really is to be an idiot. It takes virtually no skill, but it does require a blatant lack of self respect. If you fall into this category of people, you are well on your way to realizing your utmost dream of becoming an idiot. The next step you should take is finding a lot of controversial subjects and taking a bold stand as to what you believe on the matter. Even if you don't really give a hoot, make sure you come up with a few ideas. Then you should make sure you can say something on any other subject that may come up in a conversation. The last, and one of the most important steps, is making sure nothing you say actually makes sense. You wouldn't want anyone to mistake you for a genius now would you? Have a good day, and good luck in your quest to become an idiot!

Finals!!!

Do you get excited when you hear the word finals? I do. I tend not to think anything about the exams themselves, but to rather think about the three weeks of vacation that await me when I finish my last one, next Thursday afternoon. I can't wait 'til Christmas, it just creeps ever closer day by day. Too bad that once it's here it doesn't last real long. A day seems to fly by so fast when you're having a good time.
