Monday, the First of December

So, today has been an interesting and good one. Throughout the day, a few things stood out that I'd like to share.

Chia Pets are a wonderful way to say "I'd buy you a real present, but I thought you'd like this clay thing with weeds on it instead"

Someone in my end of the hall enjoys shrieking. Either they have some sort of social problem, or there's a murderer loose and he moves really really slowly.

If I were to apply to SDSU now, I'd be rejected. Surely this trend must end somewhere or kids will eventually need a 5.5 GPA and 1900 on the SAT's to get into State. Maybe our requirements will overtake the UC system... I'm sure Cal Poly will be happy.

I'm selling my PC... No, I haven't become a hater nor am I 'washing my hands' of the Windows world. I just need cash for my Oxford Adventure. And I'm trying to eliminate excess stuff that has accumulated in my room so I can actually move if I have to.

I finally decided what classes to take. I dropped my Computer Engineering major. I'm pursuing ISCOR (International Security and Conflict Resolution) now, and I'll add either a Philosophy major or an Info Tech minor later on, depending on my GPA and my ability to cope with classes. All three would be ideal, but unreal. And the irony of dropping a major because you do poorly in the classes is that you have to take the classes again to improve the grade even if you're not in the major anymore...

I have entirely too many books lined up to read, and I want to get to them all... I need more time in the day. I started going to the gym last night, tonight is an off-night, and tomorrow I go back. I think. I hope. I like it, but I need to make time in my schedule for it. Also, I'm trying to eat more healthily. If you see me eating something bad or drinking soda, please remind me of this.

I think that's it for the blog tonight... I need to get cracking on redeveloping my webpage.

Laterz.
