Evening thoughts.

So, it's 11:45 pm, and t-minus two days to starting back with college. It's starting to hit me that school is starting back. It's been such a blessing this summer not having to do a summer semester. Last year, that just about killed me, and this last spring semester, I felt like I was burning out. So, the break was really needed. Now, I have re-set my mind and am ready to go full force into a tough semester. This upcoming semester will bring me Calculus 3, Physics 2, and Introduction to Java. Easy right? *rolls eyes*

But in all honesty, I am going to hate the massive workload these classes will bring, but I am just really happy to be FINISHED with all my "core" classes, having taken my final core last semester being American History (the foundation, to like 18something). So, from now on, all my classes will directly relate to my major, and there will be no more "why the heck do I have to take this class because it will never relate to my major?" classes.

Other then the hard schedule, I am also nervous over a few other things right now. Tomorrow, I have the chance to completely change my schedule for the fall (to a much better one then I have right now), and I am praying that the seats won't be filled by the time I can register. But... It IS KSU, so I know there are NO promises there whatsoever. Also, I am awaiting news from GA Tech about my transfer. That is making me really nervous due to the fact that to transfer over, apparently, even though they look at it in an individual case, the main GPA they look at is math and science, and I am barely over the requirement for those. Oh well, I guess this is just one spot where I just have to trust that God has a plan for me no matter what. If Aerospace Engineering doesn't work out, I have thought about switching my major to Electrical Engineering, just something that's been on my mind lately. But as of now, I am going to try full force for the Aerospace Engineering degree and just see where that goes.

On the note of me moving out, the new apartment is GREAT! Chris (my roomate) and I have been getting along great, and this upcoming Friday, my friend Ells is moving in, so it'll be interesting to see how all that will go. I'm excited though to be able to have roomates who are really good friends of mine. The biggest issue I have right now is I am between jobs, awaiting to hear from a few people on contracting work for websites and such, and also as I mentioned last post, working on L.A.G. so, maybe that will be a way for me to earn some side cash (and some really good skills in things such as: animation, video editing, and similar things). I figure, if anything, I learn some really good skills to know in my life that I can use in a large variety of ways.

So, I guess to wrap up this post, I pray for all of my friends right now who are starting college for their very first time. Stay strong guys, and good luck! It's challenging, yes, but don't fear it. Also, for the friends who are just going back, stay ahead and on top, and many successes be upon you!

Album suggestion: If you guys are looking for a good album to listen to right now, the new SIXX:A.M. is fantastic. I highly recommend it.
