I partnered up with one of the smartest people I know, for studying. He also works harder at school than any American I know, so he keeps me (somewhat) diligent.
Also I just ate some Chinese food, and now I feel disappointed. My body just wants to stop everything for the day, but I need to finish my equation sheet... stupid diesel cycle...
Honestly, I'm just not satisfied with education. My whole life I felt pressured to do well in it because... it was just the thing you had to do. And now I'm mad. Why should I have to do well at anything? (Obviously I need to do well at things... I'm just... using bad rhetoric) It just kinda feels silly now, and I think I just picked engineering because I didn't know what I wanted to do with my life (*Still doesn't anyway* ), but I knew I could do it, so why not? *deep sigh*
I just- I need to sleep.
Oh yeah, that too. I signed up for on-campus housing with my current roommate, but these jackasses at housing signed us up for different locations, despite the fact that we requested to room together. We emailed them about it, and they had the nerve to respond, "You can either cancel, or retry before the 72 hour time limit has passed." Guess when they sent out the email... It was at 72.01 hours.

That's good that you have that smart guy as a type of 'example'
(how are people that studious?!) and take away -I'm assuming- Chinese food does tend to have that effect ;P
I feel kinda the same about education, and 'having' to do it...like..I don't think there's anything else I'm "good" at, it's just something I've always had to do and people expect me to do well in it -__- And you just end up questioning the point of it all. People say that kids doing an arts degree don't know what to do with their lives, hence the art degree. So you're not alone there
(awkwardly glances at "BA-BFA" on student ID card)
After nearly every Vis Comms lesson, I go home and carry on about how I'm so out of my league and that I never really intended to go into design, let alone THIS FAR into design, and I cry for ages. Then I realise that I'm in third year: the final vis comms year, and leaving now would be a waste of time and money, (hence my goal to make all my classes count in my degree. Cos I'm stingy haha) and that if I can't quit, at least I get a qualification at the end like some sort of consolation prize
then, I can do whatever the flip I want.
To me, engineering sounds pretty tough, but I think you can do it if you've already come this far~ *belief-sparkles fly everywhere and cheesy banner falls from the sky* unless stuff really hits the fan...which it hasn't. I hope.
Agh, those housing guys are a bunch of //Owl cannot say these words on the Forum//
