Life...I've seen better

Another sigh...Life continues on

Fri May 1, 2009, 2:40 PM
Well, for what it is worth, I will do a fun update of my ever increasingly entertaining, important, and worthy life to those few readers that will read this.

After graduation, I moved down to the University of Wisconsin - Madison. I moved into a dormitory and started going to fun filled classes of education and excitement.

I am still trying to get into the College of Engineering. I honestly have no idea why I am trying to get into this college, but since Madison is known for it, I might as well try. I will once I take my physics (yay...). After getting into this college, I suppose I will majoring in a sort of engineering. Since they all seem difficult and rather boring, I have recently decided to attempt a major in Industrial Engineering.

To be completely honest, I don't even know why I am, or even better, what the hell Industrial Engineering even is! By definition, it claims to be an engineer of systems (like banks systems) and factories. Paraphrasing my adviser's words, it is the business side of engineering (as far as I can tell...). So...while it would seem to be better to major in business, it is significantly difficult to get into that college, so I suppose I am doing something right.

To be honest, I would prefer to major in languages. I know Spanish (my first language, forgotten, then relearned), English, Portuguese, and a good amount of Japanese. I am attempting Arabic later this year if not next year, depending on how serious I wish to get into Japanese.

However, I might as well do something that has some sort of future, so most engineering majors (not Civil, or at least it is the worst in my opinion due to the fact that I worked with them so I know the shit they get!) will have halfway guaranteed jobs. Well...hopefully I will be able to get a job, but shit happens or karma strikes back so I will see what happens. It makes no difference now, I just have to work towards the degree, make the social connections whether I want to or not, and essentially not die until then.

One thing I would like to note. A good friend of mine here is soon going to graduate. However he said that he will be helping out a friend of his by supporting him through college.

Now I am not the best person to be friends with, in fact, I am a shitty friend, so I don't know what possible "friendship connections" they could have. However, I am a cynic and a pessimist, so I can see a problem here that will occur. While I don't believe that money is the root of all evil, money can still break friendships. No matter the friendship, lending out large amounts of cash is not a smart idea and will destroy that relationship.

When I tried to delve deeper into this (out of morbid curiosity, it is not my place to tell him to do something. mistakes and lessons must be learned for himself) he continued to tell me that after the guy passed through high school, he felt he didn't like the system of college, and dropped out.

...

After that, he has been scraping by for the last...I think three years, barely working and trying to have a place to stay and food to eat and other fun necessities of Life. Then my friend went on to say how these hard times has made the other guy so wise. Not just quote a quote wise, but made him so beyond the normal person wise from the "hardships" of Life.

...

Now, I'm not exactly the smartest light bulb in the knife drawer, but I believe that there is something wrong here. I missed the Life lesson of how dropping out of college, barely working, bumming off others, and (here is the important one) living everyday Life can be considered a hardship. This random 20 year old dude has no been enlightened because he ate fritos out of the dumpster? If he felt like it, I am positive that there is options for him: loans, parents, government, friends...Oh! so I suppose he is playing the needy friend card so others pay for everything for him!

Oh well, I just believe that this is a load of shit (possibly a scam) that I can't believe my friend is telling me. I did the usual smile and agree, because nothing gets people closer and more trusting then mutual agreement.

In other news, I have two weeks left of my Freshman year of college. It wasn't outstanding, it was above average (average grade: B), it was amusing. Oh yeah...and fast! Really fast, I remember moving like yesterday, except I don't but the sense of settlement is just starting to come, which made me say that line.

I have been working on some artistic things. I have one or two doodles that I do for fun, and a ton of writing that I should put on but haven't. Oh well, this account is solely to find other artworks I like.

One more thing, I went to NoBrandCon this year again. Placed in few tournaments, spent some (okay...a lot!) cash, had some fun, and got sick from the lack of sleep. Usual con stuff. I plan to be at Geekkon this year again, and hopefully I will be at the Daishocon too. I will see.

Until then, peace out, cheers, and all that. Hopefully some enjoyment could be gained from my clearing of head here.

Cheers...

wow I can't believe I read that whole thing...
I find that people are much more interesting when I haven't seen them for a long time, lol.

Glad to see you are doing well (at least not dead XD).

"I did the usual smile and agree, because nothing gets people closer and more trusting then mutual agreement."
- now you're starting to act like me. You were never really a person to not voice your opinion (or maybe I just have a horrible memory XD).

Hope you get that whole major thing figured out - took me awhile to finally settle on production animation; just make sure you care about what you're doing or you'll regret it.....lol (no that's not a threat)

Well....ttyl
You gonna be back this summer? We should hang out or something.

Yeah, I'll be back for this summer. The future ones I am most likely going to be staying in Madison for classes and such. I'll be back in exactly two weeks from today (yay...).

Did you end up going to NoBrandCon?

Cool - I'm going back this Thursday.

No, I didn't go. I didn't really feel like driving 6hrs back to Wisconsin.....again lol. Also, every time I go back I always end up missing more classes lol. I made a smart decision (at least I hope lol)

I will definitely be going next year tho. I'm transferring to Stout for a year to save money on housing, so I won't be so far away lol.

:icondenjou:
when in doubt...right?

No, I am all for saving money. I got cut off, so I have to scrape by next year. Should be interesting...since I am still a huge spender on games and stuff. Does that mean you will go back for your junior year?

Give me a call during the summer. All I have planned is homework (studying for next classes!), work, and lots of catching up for anime and video games!

I'm getting cut off willingly. combination of hard times, younger brothers, and medical expenses they have for younger brothers.

Sigh...ohs well. I need to become self sufficient one of these days.
