Truly exhausted...

So much has gone on since my last post, I don't even know where to begin.  I figure I won't go too far into the past, as I am so tired today I don't think I can muster the energy to think any farther back than 24 hours or so.

As I have stated before I work part time and attend college full time.  So my life is rather hectic much of the time.  As of 8:20 this evening I feel as I have just been freed from the snare of absolute boredom.  The lecture I just sat through for 2.5 hours was truly monotonous.  I really, really like my professor.  He is a great friend to me, but this lecture was so long and dry.  I know I did not retain an ounce of it.

I was up last night studying for a Sociology exam I most likely bombed today.  Now my wife of course would tell me that I always say that and I always wind up doing very well.  You don't get to be a straight A  student by bombing tests.  With that in mind, I really have never done poorly on an exam.  I feel like I guessed a lot on this one though.  Many of the questions were not in the textbook and I know they were never lectured on.  Moreover, another part of the test posed questions with the most ambiguous answers I have ever seen.  Have you every had questions where more than one answer is correct, but one is more correct than the other? They are horrible and you just never know till the test is returned how you did.  I went and visited the professor and made my case.  He seems to believe that all but one question was covered in the book.  I meet with him on Thursday to discuss the matter further.  I really hope it I don't need to, but if I do that means I didn't do well and need to beg for extra credit.

On a much lighter note.  I am applying for a scholarship through the National Honor Society in which I am a member.  My advisor/professor/director/boss (yes he really fills all those roles in my situation) wrote me a gleaming letter of recommendation.  One would think after reading this letter that sun shines out my backside.  I was blown away by it's content.  To know that someone thinks so much of you as to write such a letter is very humbling.  Thank you, Don!

All in all the day was not too awful.  Some good, some bad, but over all I made it through one more.  One more day closer to the end of the semester and the completion of my Associates Degree in Information Systems.  I will try and update on the situation with the exam in case I did better than I thought.

Odd feelings and very odd weather...

I find that I'm dreading a certain class I take.  However, once the class is over I tend to be ok and I am able to press on and head home.  What happens next is truly puzzling.  As I get in the car to head home I get very tired and feel almost depressed.  Funny thing is, I am not a depressed person.  Tired, I can definitely relate to that.  It seems as of lately I can never get enough sleep.  I spend 20 hours of my week working for the University I attend, approximately 12 hours driving two and fro, 10 hours in class, and the rest of the time is designated to homework, studying, and special projects.  Oh yeah, and maybe 6 hours a night of sleep.

I have such a major case of senior-itis and I still have two more years till my Bachelors is complete and an additional year and half to two years more to get my Masters.  The good thing, is that next semester I will only have to concentrate on my studies.  Unless of course something wonderful comes along.

I am currently struggling to find a paid internship for the summer.  Most of the large companies have a freeze on hiring due to the economy.  Or at least that is what they blame it on.  The stock market tells me different.  I am an avid stock watcher and pay attention to the trends.  The country seems to be on an upswing, but is that just a false positive?

I suppose I should be doing something school related right now, but I need a little therapy.  Thankfully the weekend has arrived.  At least I don't have to work.  I do however, have to work on my big final project for the class I dread.  Not that I suspect I will get anything less than an A, it's just a lot of work for not a lot of gain.

My wife comes to see me this weekend and we are going to an Alpaca farm for an educational visit.  One day I would like to get my wife a couple of Alpaca so she can just love them and spin their fleece till her hearts content.  I get the technology gadgets to satisfy my geekness and she gets animals and paraphernalia for her "crafting".  It's a good trade off as most of her goodies are rather expensive too.

What weird weather we are experiencing here in the North-East.  It has been unseasonably warm for several days.  A cold front has moved in and now the weather people are calling for slushy snow tomorrow.  80's one day and below freezing the next.  And what's up with all the earthquakes lately?  Should we all be preparing for something bigger than this world?  Natural disasters, weather disturbances, death, destruction, and chaos; we just may see Jesus riding in on the clouds one of these days.

If you are not a believer and have questions I am available answer all I can.  What I cannot answer immediately, I will find out and get back to you.  Life is precious, but eternity is a very long time to be confused about the truth.  A wise man once asked me this question:  Is it better to believe in God and be saved and find out when you die there is no heaven, or not believe in God, not seek Him, and not be saved and find out that there is?  Heaven or hell is our choice.  We have been given the testimonies and the Truth.  We have to be the ones to come to Him.  Remember, He loved us first.

Well, I have successfully rambled on from one topic to the next and should have by now confused myself.  I hope that I have not confused anyone in the process, it's just the way I see it...
