School Stuff

I am busy as hell, and loving every minute of it. Every minute I can keep my eyes open, that is. I have been more tired more frequently in the last three weeks that I've been in a long time. It's cool though.

I am taking Planetary Geology, Cultural Anthropology, German, and erm... Public Speaking. I know this sounds more like a liberal arts major than engineering, just hear me out.

The whole thing started months ago, when I was assigned a student advisor. Apparently no one informed the professor that he was to take this position in my educational efforts, so by the time I realized he would be no help at all, the courses I would have preferred were full. Undaunted, I had decided I had STARTED this thing already, finally, and could fill other educational requirements for the degree, the ones that are supposed to make one "well -rounded". I didn't bother to explain that I am already rather round at parts, they might  have sued me.

The first three courses are interesting, and fun. The Public Speaking course is more of a necessary evil. I needed a communications course to fulfill a requirement,and well, I've avoided the subject long enough. Now the only problem is that I must find an audience to hear my four required speeches. Sounds like I'm not going to be able to avoid toastmasters after all...
 
So yeah, my "gap decade" has come to a close,  I have signed on for a long haul of late nights and early energy drinks, but what the hell, you only live once, right? Might as well make it interesting.
