Back in the Saddle

Day two of classes over and I decided this was a good time to take some me time. I have several blogs at this point, but none of them were about me. Not that I'm very interesting, quite the contrary really, but one can only play at being someone else for so long before they disappear entirely. So, here's me...

umm...

hmmm.....

I had acoustics today. I like the idea of sound. I feel that it is important to proper design, probably since I'm genetically and environmentally destined to be deaf. I think when you're are seriously see you're future being filled with utter silence you think more about the effects of the sounds around you. I think it should be an interesting class. Very important.

Even as I'm typing this I'm listening to music. Currently it is Joe Bonamassa singing The Ballad of John Henry. I heard it on the radio a few weeks ago and so I purchased it. It made me think of one of the characters from one of my stories. I finally had a solid picture of him in my head and that helped out my writing a lot. There are so many spots in that piece that are squishy and unformed at this point. I just can't seem to get back in to the swing of it, and it's only going to get harder now that school has started.

That's what I hate about this whole school thing. It keeps getting in the way of all the stuff I want to do. Like writing, and knitting, and watching movies, or just... you know... nothing. Being a bum just doesn't pay though. I unfortunately have too much potential to be a writer. And I don't think I could handle the suffering involved with being a successful author. I haven't been on the edge of financial collapse so I have no merit as a female writer, though there is still time. I could totally wash-out as an engineer.

That's not really an option at this point. I'm too deep in it now to do the switch majors three times thing that's suppose to be the statistical average. I don't really want to anyway. I think this semester will be better. This semester has to be better, I really don't have a choice. I have to stop being a bum and grow up.

Damn.
