Update: Fall 2009

So, Fall 2009 has began–begun–has begun! Looking back on my previous post, I’d have to say my semester has actually started off rather well. I love all my classes, even though I had to drop out of Sports Psychology (sad face). But, I am feeling my switch to CS, it’s hitting home that I may be okay with the switch after all; it’s nice to be in class and feel like I know what I am doing for a change.

Classes I’m taking:

  • Astronomy 105
  • Life in the Universe
  • Object Oriented Programming (C Programming)
  • Journalism 105 (Media in Society)
  • Psychology in Sports

I know, not much CS in there, but when I signed up for classes I wasn’t sure if CS was going to be a good move, and I wanted to ease in. Next semester (and all remaining semesters) will be loaded with CS and Math!

Why journalism? Being a web designer I wanted to take classes that would help compliment web-design. They have web-design classes here, but they are geared more towards design, not programming, not web-applications, etc. So, the Journalism class will help compliment theĀ  media/writing aspect.

Why astronomy classes? Well, basically, because I can’t manage to pass biology! I mean it, I have tried super-duper hard to pass that class and it just wasn’t happening for me and astronomy is the next class in line for my science requirements. Plus, I am very interested in astronomy! The worst part of the classes is sitting around and noticing how chill all the Astronomy teachers are, maybe I should be an astronomer?

But, so far, I have no complaints, it’s been fun and familiar…

Fall, 2009

n49002021_31955796_8200586So yesterday I moved back in the dorms. Yeah, dorms. I wanted to stay on campus, I have found it to be a great convenience for someone without a car or a way to get around. But, I have had this uneasy feeling all week, I never pictured being 25 and in the dorms again. It’s not just the dorms though, I never pictured a lot of things the way they are in my life at this moment. 25 was my golden age, I thought I would be on some kind of track to what I wanted.

RGH HallI was shocked to notice I was feeling a lot like all those freshman that moved in yesterday, and I’m 25! And then, there’s the people who just seem to have it all together, they know what they want, everyone supports them, they have the means, dreams, no one’s in their way… I kind-of have lost that feeling, and here I am blatting it out to the public!

But, I start class on Thursday, not sure how I am going to enjoy Computer Science, but I guess I will never know until I find out. I… just… used to be so excited for the semesters to start, and it’s just not there anymore, I’m all burnt out on asperation.

The reason I left atheism.

This is from Postsecret, and I just kinda connected to this one. I used to be, sort-of, an “atheist”. But, I used to catch myself praying, and because of that, I found there was still something to God. I couldn’t be an atheist if I wasn’t absolutly sure, and all along, I wasn’t…
