So, it's been a while... a long while to be exact. This semester sucks so bad.. Course work is just overwhelming, and I feel like I'm behind in every one of my classes. I don't know how to describe it. It's like a huge weight on my shoulders, and I can't put it down or get away from it. And this is before i've taken my first round of exams... It's goin to be a long semester.
PESC had a retreat at Camp Tecumseh last week. I have to say that that was a great time. We sat around in a circle and each of us drew a topic to talk about (embarassing moment, best scar, etc.), and it was just so fun hearing everyone's stories. I drew the "scar" one and I talked about my eye operation, of which probably most of you don't know about.. but it happened when i was four, so that was a long time ago. We sat around and played euchre, poker, and other games. We played Dirty Minds (that's the game you and I played, tisha lol..) which was so.. dirty lol.. but a good time. We had a huge game of mafia going, too, which was a blast. We stayed up till 5 in the morning hanging out, and then we all went to bed, just to be woken up at 8 in the morning. I got 7 returning members on my committee, so I think it'll be a good time. I just feel weird b/c I'm head of a committee with all sophomores and juniors... I figured i'd get some new members, but didn't. i dunno.. I'll be stressed the end of March and the beginning of April b/c that's when all three of our events are. i should be looking over the files right now, but i'll save that for later....
My truck broke down the other day. Clutch fluid tank or something was leaking. I was at the intersection of 52 and Teal when I discovered that i couldn't shift into any gear... So, luckily I got a green light and pull over in the putt Putt parking lot. I don't know what i would have done if I stopped at the light there.. b/c I couldn't move. But, it's fixed and working for now.
I have Solo/Ensemble this weekend. i don't think I'm goin to play for anyone next year (except for two people). The whole mess is just so stressful and so much work for me. i spend so much time practicing, not to mention giving up an entire Saturday, and I never expect or get anything out of it. i'm just in a bad mood, ok? lol
I have an exam thursday... i don't even know what it's over. The professor talks about stuff in class, but fails to show any examples of problems that we might encouter. We have a homework assignment due tomorrow, and i'm so lost. I have no idea what i'm expected to do, and i can't follow anything, b/c the book doesn't even have examples. My math professor is the same way. so frustrating...
I'm just overwhelmed wtih everything i guess it seems like... i would be looking forward to summer, where i can just relax all the time, but i'll be working all the time at my internship, and that'll have its own stress. Welcome to the real world, eric. geez... lol
Well, hopefully next weeks turns out better. Sorry for this crappy post, everyone.

Tracie--> That was a crappy post!!! Just kidding...it is the real world...I live in it everyday...but at least in the summer you don't have classes or exams...and you get to chill at night and stuff and we get to come visit...I want to know how to play that "dirty minds" game, basically because I have a dirty mind and it would help me work on my craft...is that a craft? We need to eat dinner, so you can vent to me! Don't stress out so much...it just makes it worse...the stress will pass and you don't want to get an ulcer before you turn 21...later!

Watched--> Hitch Not a bad flick...
Saw--> Family GUy - What a great show...
Reading--> Angels and Demons Dan Brown - So far the prequel to The Da Vinci Code is a great read
So, well, it's been a while, people. A long while. So much has happened. Had a great Christmas with my family. Spent the best Birthday and New Year's down in Florida. Finished my first week of my 4th semester at Purdue. And a billion things in between.
Florida was awesome. Pics of the trip, along with comments/stories will be available soon, hopefully. I don't have a lot of time to mess around with it, but I'll see what I can do. The whole trip seems surreal, like it didn't even happen, and it was a dream. Definitely something that I'll never forget.
Classes started this week. It's been a really long week... I'm really tired and kind of not in a great mood. I have 6 classes this semester, and of course, they are all demanding. I really feel nervous about them for some reason. I struggled with classes last semester, but thanks to countless hours of studying, everything turned out alright. But, I'm not ready to do that all over again. I put in so much hard work and it drained me, and now I don't want to pick it back up again. I just want to go back to high school sometimes, where everything was so easy to balance. I feel like I'm juggling all of these classes, meetings, organizations, and my social life. I want to spend more time with my friends here at Purdue, but I always have a meeting or something else comes up and I feel out of the loop at times. I dunno.. it's difficult to explain...
Anyway, in good news I guess... I was just named PESC's Student Activities Committee Head for the year. I was really excited when I got the call. I know that it's going to be a lot of work, but it's something that I'll have fun doing.
I'll probably add onto here tomorrow sometime, so for my "loyal readers," I'll update soon.
This week: classes, homework, meetings... back to the ol' grind...

Andrea--> The days of high school do seem wonderful when I remember how easy and fun it was. Then I think of the busy work and Mr. Patterson reading the rules over the intercom on the first day of school each year and remember why I didn't want to fail out. :)
kyle--> haha, yeah, andrea has a good point on the whole high school thing...
Hang in there, man. You can do this! You'll make it through the semester. Before we know it, it'll be spring break and then it'll almost be summer break after that. I know what you mean about trying to balance all of that. That is hard... and it gets frustrating because you know you are giving all this time on things you don't really want to be spending all the time on and not able to spend as much time having fun and hanging out with friends. Try to make sure to set aside some time for yourself, though, ok? Otherwise, you really are gonna get burned out...
Anyway, congrats again on the position. You rock! Peace out, homes...
Tracie--> As long as you leave time for me, nothing else matters...just kidding...maybe...you'll make it through this semester, just like you've made it through every other semester. Just think of how great it will be after this semester because we're half way through college! How crazy is that?! And next year you won't be out of the loop at all because you're living with 4 awesome people (me included). Don't stress out, okay? This semester will be over before we know it, just like every other semester has been. Just keep chugging along. Oh yeah...FLORIDA WAS AMAZING!
