College Angst

College Angst

  I sat here staring at my computer for hours. We didn't have a subject to write about, as this was a free writing session this week. I kept wondering to myself, "Wow, what am I going to write about?" When I realized I wasn't sure what to write, I decided to do other homework. I kept doing this off and on part of last week, over the weekend, and as of yesterday (Monday). I've got so much homework that I realized today, I still hadn't written my blog entry. I got to thinking dang I'm turning into a hermit in my bedroom and I've got a bed cot in the college library.

     It dawned on me today that so far this semester, I've got no life outside of homework, homework, homework, and even more homework. I'm wondering how much Oxnard has changed since I started school in August. I really didn't think taking Philosophy, Math, English, and Oral Communications would be keeping me so busy this semester that I haven't had a chance to do much. I can't blame just homework and school for this busy semester. I still have to maintain things at my home like: washing clothes and dishes, caring for my rabbits and turtles, doing yard work, doing things around my home, and paying bills.

     I do though manage to set a day aside to go to Monterey Park to visit my daughter, her boyfriend, and my best friend. I don't get to see them much since school started so I do try to bust my butt all week to get homework mostly done and things done around my home so I can spend a day there visiting them. I'm grateful that I do get to visit with them. They make it a really fun and relaxing day. When it's time to come home I start missing them on my drive home. Once I'm home, usually 1 to 3 am in the morning, I start on some homework until I fall asleep. I do manage to cram in sometime to play softball with my Thursday co-ed team. For 2 hours on Thursday evenings, school doesn't exist because I'm concentrating on the game. This Thursday will be cool because we've got a double-header game so that'll be 4 hours of NO thinking about school.

     Well we're half way through the semester so I guess I can hang in there a little longer (hahaha).
