    Based on Esther’s “Senses”.

I spent most of the day beating myself because I couldn’t make myself GOTO the library. Well, I did make it to the library tonight. Only to realize, “Oh. I forgot that the book means nothing to me.” Glanced over everything. Noted that I only needed to write down two formulas. *laughs* Learn? I don’t need to learn. You just need to know how to bullshit. Meaning is irrelevant. Can you answer the questions, that is all that is required.

So I was walking to the library. And. I came to a conclusion. Without any build-up, I’ll just say that I’ve been institutionalized. We always did call High School a prison. *laughs* Alas, I’ve actually given this some serious thought. You know, in place of academic things. I was talking to The Underwear Girl and we were discussing High School-related things. More specifically, how… Well. See, to me, it’s so bizarre, I’m not even sure how to put it. …Her High School isn’t one building? Yeah. Something like that. You go through your K-12 with there always being individual buildings for each grades. Outside? What’s that? The concept of having classes in different buildings is just utterly bizarre to me. I’m not saying it’s a bad thing. Okay, so everybody just shows up in a room at an arbitrary time? That’s how college seemed/seems to me. It makes no sense.

To clarify, my High School was one building. I always thought of the actual “school” being THAT building.

I think I need structure. I rarely missed school, mostly because I didn’t get sick all that often. I’d swear I didn’t miss a day of my freshman and sophomore years. Or I got awfully close to that. And really, why should I miss school? What would be the point? School was not for learning things. School was for social contact. I remember when I’d randomly miss a week, and not even miss a beat in class. Always amused me how slow everything went. And now. I miss class without that huge of a conscious-thrashing. My conscious mostly gets me simply BECAUSE I don’t seem to care. “Care, damn you!” I can’t say classes have done anything for my social life. If anything, they’ve given me a negative social life because there are now people I have to avoid? *laughs*

It’s no wonder I feel so detached. In High School, I was, more or less, always in class. Think what I will of my classmates, if I was absent, somebody noticed. I’m invisible here. Partly my doing, but like anybody can stand out in a lecture. “Oh, look that guy I’ve never met and I’ve never talked to isn’t here!” Yeah. Right. I don’t feel a part of my classes. I just attend them. A room full of strangers. Taught by somebody I’ve never met. Twice a week. Great.

I wouldn’t even venture a guess what kind of “structure” I would need. Or even if this theory is correct. If I knew how to fix myself, I would have done it a long time ago. Maybe without said structure, my true nature is coming forth. A lazy bum. But, I already knew that. I miss the days when being able to follow along in class meant a good grade. Now the things on the test are shit in the book you never outright discussed. Quaint. Well, not always. Maybe this is why I should do my homework. If I did my homework, I’d be better off. All the time in the world, and I can never seem to find the time to do homework.

Maybe I need a platonic blowjob. …Naaaahh. I have so little desire for the act, anyway.

What do I do? How do I make myself do my homework? How do I make myself GOTO all my classes? How can I make myself get over myself and be able to talk to professors about my trivialized but now seemingly serious problems? How does one declare a major in the first place, I’ve looked it up online and it looks terribly complicated. If only I could do it without human interaction. I’m thinking i shouldn’t declare. Because there’s a chance I might fail all three of my CS classes. *laughs then sighs* How does one get a job? I ask this over and over again. It seems so terribly easy when I actually do it. But, I suppose the question is more, how does one find a job? Where would I go? What would I do? I feel like nobody can tell me what I need to do. And nobody ever will. I’m floating. Coasting. As if I’m just waiting for there to actually be some consequences to my failure. After you fail a class and realize that nothing happens, that fear of failure just… goes away. “Oh. Nothing’s happened.”

*sighs*

I’ve decided to phase out Naked Friday. It was mostly Hairbrush’s idea, if I remember correctly, regardless of whatever credit I may wish to claim. In it’s place, I wish to declare… BIGGAYFRIDAY. No, I’m not kidding. I never do anything academic on Fridays. And I have this BIGGAYITCH which I need to BIGGAYSCRATCH. Mmmm. BIGGAYWRITING. *creams his BIGGAYBOXERS*

Uhh. Yeah. Don’t hold me to it, we’ll see what happens. Hopefully, it’ll be some BIGGAYFUN for all. Who knows, maybe BIGGAYSTORIES are a part of my Tao.

nope, this is not a real note. Nope.

you think it’s strange to have high school classes in different buildings? I used to have to walk 15 minutes to get to each class, but not anymore… TO answer your question, I honestly don’t think getting a job is so much about what you know, but more about who you know. Y’know? 🙂 This entry sounds like something that will happen to me in the near future.

If you don’t want to go to your CS classes, why take them? Why not just pick another major with classes you like? 20 years from now, nobody will care what your major was as long as you have a bachelor’s degree, and it doesn’t matter how many CS classes you sign up for or how good you could possibly do in them if you’re not motivated to show up. (cont)

You mentioned blow jobs. How dare you. You know how that makes me feel ;]

October 23, 2003

(cont) Seriously, why are you in college? What are you trying to accomplish? I’m saying that not to try to convince you that it’s all pointless and futile, but to ask you to take a look at your motivations and what your really want to be doing right now. As far as finding a job, it’s a simple as seeing a need and filling it – in theory. (cont)

October 23, 2003

(cont) You either ask, “What do I know how to do? Who would need people who know how to do that?” Or you ask, “Who needs people? Can I do what they need people to do?” Don’t search the want ads. I’m thoroughly convinced that nobody ever hires people who come in because of a newspaper ad. Just walk in to places that might need someone like you and ask if they’re hiring. (cont)

(cont) And be persistent. When they say they’ll call you next week, they’re lying through their teeth and they know that you know it. Keep calling back, or coming back in person. Good luck.

RTN: not as strange as you think… i’ve been told that by guys before- including my own husband, who usually steers clear of anything overly “chickish”. then again, j is infatuated with Morrissey so the jury is still out on his true sexuality. j/k. 🙂

RYN: I’m from Virginia.

Paragraph eight used to be me. It took having my life turn to shit, for me to appreciate the capability to attend school- talk to professors- get decent grades- pursue something I love. I don’t recommend having that happen. But maybe you should drop out, for now. Until you’re ready and able to appreciate it.

October 24, 2003

Hey, good for you, goin’ to the library 🙂 Sorry I had to sign off our conversation early, I would’ve liked to talk more. I don’t feel like I was really any help. HARDCORE!

I like your BIGGAYSTORIES. I fully support Naked Fridays. Of course, I didn’t realize it was only one day a week set aside for nakedness. I celebrate my nudity at least once a day. I skipped so much school in high school, and no one ever noticed. But then, I made a point of being one of those people who fades into the background.

October 24, 2003

a blowjob?! hmmmmm…I could go for a guy going down on me. Or maybe 69…my favorite! High school….bah! *gags*

I feel that same way too….. My chem exam is on tuesday and i know no matter what I study none of it will be on the exam. I don’t know why I bother =(

Its much easier to skip classes in college than high school mostly because you’re not exactly “required” to go & nobody is making you.

October 24, 2003

You went to a school w/only one building? Odd. We had 12 different halls, 6 or 7 different buildings… and those other bulding things on the sides of the buildings. OI. i’m so sleeeeepy. zzZZzZzZZzzZZz

I don’t think that kind of feeling is true for all classes. I feel that way most of the time, but people notice whether I’m there in smaller classes. I know what you mean, though. Too many people, and you’re just a face in the crowd.

ryn: knock, knock.ryn: welcome to the matrix.ryn: call me daddy.:p

October 24, 2003

Interesting….. But MMMMMMMMMMMM blowjob!! 🙂

October 24, 2003

“so little desire for the act anyway” well by george. guys like you are frustrating to girls like me 😀

I was the same way you are in both HS and college…could miss tons of classes and not miss out on anything. I was bored and wasn’t challenged. I think I went to my college classes maybe 40% of the time and still graduated with honors. Of course, I could have had higher honors had I been there 100% of the time and tried harder, but why bother? It’s all the same.

And people wonder why we have college graduates who can barely complete the tasks their degree is in. It’s because we all learn how to pass tests, nothing more, nothing less. <3
