Sign up. For. Classes already!

I'm signing up for my classes today, I've promised myself. Yes, classes start in a week and yes, I am probably the master procrastinator. My second semester at Mizzou I remember signing up for classes on like, the 3rd day before classes started. There was nothing desirable left. Fortunately, I don't go to Mizzou anymore. Unfortunately, I don't go to Mizzou anymore AND my school is smaller which means classes fill up more quickly.

Smart Eric is dumb.

Besides the usuals like College Comp II, Economics, American History, blah blah blah, I plan on taking Intro to Photography. I say I plan on it because I also might change my mind between now and six hours from now. This camera is daunting though and I'm really keen on being REALLY good. Seems kind of hard though. Besides that I'm considering taking another class (Broadcasting) which might throw me off because last semester I barely got by with four. I don't think it's the fact that four classes are a lot, but that four classes are a lot when you're working 35+ hours a week. They say you need to study what, two hours per night for each class? Yeah, for me I probably studied 20 minutes per class, per week. I did all of my homework though, it was just the studying that I didn't do. I figure though that with classes like Comp & History I should do well in since those are subjects I'm greatly interested in. I'm not too sure about Intro to Economics but that's a required Social Science course for my major. Anyone taken Economics? How is it?

I'm anxious to finish this up so next Spring semester I can transfer to somewhere cool and only have to take a year of classes. I'll have my AA degree in Mass Communications and my goal is to either go back to Mizzou to get my BS or hopefully a school in Florida, Chicago or California. (this mass comm degree is more than your standard 2-year degree, it takes 3-years to complete) That makes these next three semesters so much more important. I have to get tip-top grades, A's or B's only, and increase my workload to show that I can handle it at a university level, even though I've already been. Thing is, only thing I handled while I was there was the process of ordering pizza at 1 am and playing basketball at the Rec center.

This is a horrible way to segue (I'm turning into such a bad writer) but I talked to someone today. Or maybe not talk, I should not use that word for conversations that don't happen by voice. I communicated with someone. That sounds infinitely better, at least to me. I communicated with someone and it was unpleasant. Unpleasant in the sense that this person has/had such a hold on me and when you talk to someone who is like that, you overcompensate. Or you give in. And I almost gave in but this year, this two-thousandth and eleventh year anno domino, I want to harbor no ill will towards anyone while at the same time, have no ties to that which is not in my best interest. Unfortunately I feel like this person may not be in my best interest. As I type that out I realize it makes it seem as if this person is a bad person and they really aren't. They're lowkey awesome, albeit with more than a tad of asshole, but nonetheless probably a very good person. Just in my case ... no. I wanted to leave the bullshit in 2011 and not continue a repeated cycle of dumbness on my part.

This has turned into a long post. I may only write a couple posts a week if they're going to be this long, gosh lol.
