At the request and death threat of Neil, I find myself once again updating...
School:
-Calculus: This is the second most boring class of the week. As it turns out I didn't forget everything I thought I had and now I regret asking to be placed into a intro to calculus course. The subjects are covered so slowly that I normally wish I could just go to sleep. Unfortunately there are computer monitors in the way of the sleeping area on the desks. It's also dually unfortunate because in the event that I should need to do some classwork I have to do it on my lap. I find this agravating. Everyone around me is older/less intelligent as well. They don't seem to always grasp simple things like instructions or basic algebra. I haven't made any friends here.
-Writing 121: This is my most interesting class, relatively speaking. The instructor is more intertaining that the rest of my teachers combined. When we have discussions at times I feel genuinely interested in the topic of the discussion. The setback in this class has mainly to do with the students. They are drastically unintelligent. In an hour and a half, if three good points are made by someone other than the teacher it seems like a good day. I've decided that perhaps I'm cynical though. I don't want to make friends here.
-Eastern Philosophy: I really wish that I enjoyed this class more. The teacher seems to be really intelligent. Apperantly there aren't too many people with degree's in his field of study and so I feel that he could really have a lot to teach me. Unfortunately I can't really understand a lot of what he says. Couple this with the fact that he speaks so quickly and you can understand my problem. If it weren't for the notes he throws up on a projector I wouldn't understand anything at all. I hope things will improve as time passes for this class. I haven't made friends here either.
-Intro to programming: C: The most boring class in the lineup. The instructor is old, speaks slowly, and moves slowly. I give him slack because he needs a heart transplant I think, what with the pacemaker and all. I'm fairly certain that I'm not going to learn much in the way of programming from listening to his lectures. Apperantly if you take a class with the word introduction in the course title it means you have to move really slowly. The only upside to this class is that I only have to force myself to go one day a week. I've not made any friends here except a girl who I spoke with briefly because we both couldn't find the room we were supposed to go to. Her name escapes me.
And there you have it. Fortunately I only have classes four days a week. I might kill myself if it were any longer. Maybe PCC just isn't for me. Who would have thought...
On another note I finally found a job I guess. It's at Target, and I'm not looking forward to working there at all. However beggars can't be chosers, and I'm tired of being a beggar.

congratulations on the job! you should make it your goal every day when you go in to work to find something to laugh about during your shift. and you can't laugh about the same thing twice. so not only is the game entertaining, it should also become challenging after a while! yay! i genuinely love and miss you.
I say fuck it. Leave college, leave the job you know you're going to hate. Want more? Go get more. You don't need a degree or money to be happy. In fact, they probably just get in the way. Everybody knows this, but nobody seems to agree on it.
Why, why, WHY, Chris? Why resign yourself to mediocrity?
Lenny, I wish that things were simple like that. But happiness never was the education or the money. My reason for doing any of it? A family. The thing that I fell, that I know in my bones, will make me happy is to have someone to care for. And in order to do so I must strike out and become a better man under the standards of society. One who is more "hireable", more "fit to marry." I consider this to be a two way street; you have to work under the rule of society in order for it to return you the luxury of happiness.
That being said, pcc and target are merely a starting point for my ascendance to greatness. I would never resign my fate to this simple and lowly means of empowerment. give it 5 years and I'll have found what really makes me content.
Chris resigning himself to a life he does not seem to be enjoying is mediocrity. We have enough unenthusiastic college students in this world, I think.
Nonetheless, I think your rebutal is satisfactory, Chris. If you think this step is absolutely neccesary to accomplish your dreams, well, I'm all for it, as should you be.
I think mediocrity would be giving up on something you want to accomplish just because you're not enjoying it as much as you thought, so I'm not quitting and neither will you! Or I'll throw acid on your face <3 <3 <3
Dearest Chris,
first thank you for updating your blog, i genuinely appreciate it. i miss you a lot dude, and it's good for me to have something to read and feel like i have evidence of your existence. i think that you should call me in the near future. or mabye this weekend cuz then you'll be getting me AND jennifer!
second, i think that what you are doing right now is comendable, and not only that, i always think if this wasnt where you needed to be right now in life, you wouldnt be. you know? yea use this as a step to get to where you want to be, take your course in life, but i think its comforting in a way to know that life will guide you to the exact moments you are supposed to be living. i'm not sure if thats any help what so ever, but just know, if nothing else, theres a kid in ohio who is cheering you on every step of the way.
much love, the ohio style way,
william neil wong
