Purified and Advanced

This week, has been tough, and will continue to be tough all through it. Since I don't have a lot of time today, I think I'll just do bulleted list.

- Three big tests this week. Trig, and Calc on the same day, and a C++ Programming mid-term.

- Lost the girl I was dating to her ex-boyfriend. I'm conflicted about how I feel about it. I'm happy for her, but pissed because I know I'm the better guy, and to see him win her, pisses me off. "It's her loss Colin" Well it sure doesn't feel that way.

- Applying for a second job at Sam's Club. I go in for my second interview today. It seems like I'm the right guy for at least the weekend days of that job. Even if I don't get it, I'm ok with that.

- I need to find some new friends. Not necessarily drop the old friends, but because I have so few right now, if there's ever a problem with any of them, it's a much bigger deal in my life than it should be.

Finally, the lyrics and song of the week:

"...But this shit storm is never ending, and the atmosphereic pressure is calling for rain. This is what I've got going on, this is where I belong."
Where I Belong by Motion City Soundtrack on Even if it Kills Me.

Busy. Just Busy

Let me start of with: Read the title. Then, read the title again. Right now, I'm quickly tapping out this blog between students I tutor, and with any luck, I will have enough time to finish.

School is the main thing that's keeping me so busy. While things are moving at a decent pace in all my classes, the material continues to get more complex. Mix that in with mid-term exams, and next week is going to kill me. It's just so much work, between all the classes and working, that I often find myself mentally exhausted by 7pm. I can't be exhausted then, it doesn't do me any good. I need those next four hours to knock out homework. I'm sure it doesn't help that I have two math classes and tutor math for five hours on wednesdays. Hopefully, next semester, I'll be able to help students out in a variety of sections, and that way it will all stay mildly refreshing.

The girl I've been hanging out with takes up the remaining time that I have. I'm fortunate that I can spend time studying with her as not only does she value studying in the same way I do, but she's also in my calculus course. This really helps out because once we both get mentally exhausted, we can still enjoy each other's company while not talking about school or doing schoolwork.

I'm supposed to get internet at my new place which I moved in to a couple weeks ago this friday, so with any luck I'll at least have an increased oppertunity to knock out a blog with a spare moment.

How are you guys/gals? Hopefully life is keeping you busy, but that you're having fun doing it.

Cheers.
