Ok, so I know that a blog is supposed to be a type of online journal of sorts. I have a few people who read this and that's all good. I haven't updated it in a while because I've had a lot of stuff on my mind...
I guess part of what has been going on is that while I don't hate Lethbridge anymore (I did my first year) I am just sick of school. I want to be done and I have done my classes in the order they need to be done in and I have this year and I should be done my degree as long as the University doesn't throw some stupid rule at me that I haven't yet heard... I'm also sick of the driving and the dryness and the lack of people and things to do.
My classes this semester consist of two history classes, a conducting class and orchestra. I am trying not to kill myself with school work while at the same time keeping my GPA up and my energy and enthusiasm about school up as well. It's tough but I'm hoping to make it work.
All I know is that right now I am feeling pretty bummed and I hate that. I have become such a "glass half full" kind of person that feeling like this is awful. My mom says things will get better when I get back into the swing of school.
I am enjoying my classes thus far, we have covered a lot in just a few days and I feel like I know my stuff but it's only the second week. The hardcore stuff is still coming. On a bright note, I'm pretty sure I have narrowed down what I want to write my history essays on and if I can get a thesis and opening paragraph done, I can get the topics approved and get the paper done sooner rather than later.
On another topic, the pizza making day is in a week and a bit and the deadline for orders is in less than a week and I have no orders at all yet. This worries me a bit. Some people have said that maybe if we don't sell enough we could try something else next time and it would prove it has been overdone. However, as a fundraiser, it would be nice if it did just that. The money goes towards helping people who wouldn't be able to afford it otherwise come on the weekend and that's important! I'm just feeling impassioned towards the TEC community lately. My vision of the future (while people are talking about full TEC weekends, which would be awesome) would be for not only that but for us to be better known and for the fundraising to end up paying for almost everything so that participants and team pay very little or nothing to be there... I know, "ideal world" but it would be nice if it worked that way.
Anyway, I'm tired and I'm not sure what else to say... I've had kind of a bad day and I normally try to keep this blog all peppy and positive but I'm just not feeling it right now.
