Speaking of academics, here's the latest:
Computer Science (Programming): Getting better at creating programs, in fact despite the fact that I walked in late last Monday, I managed to tackle the hardest classwork problem virtually solo. It also turned out to be the most work and longest by a long shot. I still rocked it though. I made it look as though it was boring for me. I wish all my classes came as naturally to me.
Computer Information Systems: This gen-ed class, is actually a bit of work, because I feel like it's a LOT of busy work thus far, and on top of my other three classes, the challenge is just to complete the work.
Trigonometry: We had our test on Thursday, and while I feel more confidant about it now, at the time I was not enthused to take it. I'm sure I'll get the results back this week. Crossing my fingers.
Calculus: Dear Lord this class is hard. Things the teacher says "should be easy" are not, and the homework was a bear to tackle this last week. If I wasn't siphoning help from my father, I know I would have fallen on my face long ago. What's worse is that I created a study group AND gotten a math tutor, and it's still viciously hard. FML. I'm supposed to be able to recognize trig identities that I haven't learned yet in order to simplify parametric equations.
As for my personal life, it's frustrating to say in the least. I supposed context is necessary as per usual though eh?
I still haven't made many friends. I think that it's definitely got it's pros and cons, but the people that I would hang out with, aren't terribly social people. I like hanging out with social people so that I can meet a ton of different people. Yes, I'm still meeting people on a daily basis, but not in any sort of way to make friends with them.
As for romantic interests, that's all sorts of screwed up. I won't even entertain much to say that I think it might be in my interest to branch out and find a girl that's right for me, and not find a girl who I'm right for. I might have to give up on the idea of finding a mutually beneficial girl. It just isn't in the cards for me.
Furthermore, my nice guy attitude that I've attempted to adopt has failed me. I'm genuinely a good person, but it hasn't worked for me, as in, it hasn't actually gotten me anything that I want. At least when I was an asshole in the past, I could get what I wanted by being manipulative towards others. Ladies, you are the reason that aassholes continuously re-emerge in generation after generation. You date the asshole, younger kids see that being an asshole works, they turn into assholes themselves. Nice guys? Yeah, we're fucked from the get-go. You say you want to date us, but at night, our beds remain absent of you. My solution? Time for another change. Time for the year(s) of Colin to reign.
I recently realized that I put my brain to good use when it's just idling. I subconsciously plan. The nice part about this is that I can attack most new things with a real sense of logic and it works out. Except of course for anything involving relationships/ anything that has a variable form.
I recently was told that I MUST watch the film "The Notebook". Overall, I'll give it a 7 out of 10. Detracting elements include a plot that I could see through in less than 2 minutes, thinly veiled elements of surprise, and lastly, a poorly concluded ending. I feel that given the generalize plot of the ending, a different director could have summed it up in a more finite sense. Still though, it did earn solid marks for great cinema photography and a story that feels like we could relate our exaggerated lives to.
This week's music is from the talented artist Travis McCoy ft. Bruno Mars entitled "Billionaire" on Lazarus.
