My screen(s, 2 x 1920x1080 if you’re keeping count) are filled with IM windows and emails about all the interesting things I will soon be participating in AND COULD BE DOING RIGHT NOW WERE IT NOT FOR SCHOOL.

School is the ball and chain anchoring me to mediocrity, to stagnation, at the moment. Later today I will whip up a quick javascript countdown that shows the SECONDS ticking by until I am done with school for the semester. 

There are fascinating opportunities to learn and to grow up and down both coasts, and I want to get to more of them sooner. I hate telling people to wait - I don’t assume I’m important enough to be waited for. If they take time out of their busy Doing Important Shit schedule to look my way even for an instant, I want to grab the potato while it’s still hot. 

I am quickly growing weary of the repetitive and uninspiring lifestyle known as “college student”. There is so much going on in the real world RIGHT NOW that I want to be a part of.

And now, back to homework. Grumble grumble grumble.
