"Vacation" Journal- DAY 1

>well, SHIT SON
>you complicate things my dear

Today, my first official day of vacation until school starts back up sometime in 5 months. Here are the summer plans, and how I plan to achieve them

1)get /fit/. Workout more rigorously and frequently. Already going fine, and I actually don't mind doing it now that I can be outside in the sun.

2)learn some fashion knowledge. I want to look good this summer, and from now on, so I guess this will come in handy.

3)beat Zelda Twilight Princess for Wii. Never did, always kinda wanted to.

4)Pokemon Platinum. I want to do as much as possible. I'm a huge pokemon fan.

5)read the Quaran and "something else" whose name escapes me completely at the time...

6)beer drinking club. Once or twice a week, get together with friends and we all get the same kind of beer and try it. I figure by the end of the summer we'll have hopefully tried like 20-30 beers and we can be well on the way to being pretentious alcoholics.

7)get the band back together. I know at least 3 or 4 musical projects people are working on and I said I'd like to try to help out with. We never get anything done- until now.

8)comics. Now that I own a scanner, I haven't used it since Christmas. I'm funny damnit, and I have drawing ability. This should happen.

Well now, I have to be getting to work. The one thing in my life that holds me back. By far the most necessary of evils, and by far the most evil.

I have a paper to turn in today. 4 hours ago actually. I'm less than 10% done.

My paper was technically due Tuesday, but the sheet said Thursday the 14th, so I went with Thursday to give myself more time.

I would have known about this if I would have gone to class last week, but I didn't.

I'm supposed to be leaving for work in 5 minutes, so I don't think I'll be able to write much more than an intro sans-thesis.

I know I'm gonna get a shitty grade on this assignment. I don't care. I know I'm paying money out of my pocket to get this shitty grade, but it's gotten to a point where I just want the class to be over with. It's boring and uneventful. We don't read anything of social value, or anything relevant. I don't care about reading Antigone. Sure it's interesting, but I want something fucked up and socially conscious. I want to discuss the writers' and his characters philosophies, not rhyme scheme in poetry. I want some Orwell among other things.

This class is pure liberal arts bullshit, served with a healthy dose of busy work and "assignments" that are not much more than us regurgitating information from lectures, sparknotes, wikipedia, and the book so we can learn about the wonders of the English language. Like my paper. I'm writing about Antigone. Nothing exciting, just regurgitating. No deep insight, no quandries, no heated argument, just skimming the surface of mediocrity.

And I'd have an A on it if I cared.
