Bah.
I’m already sick of school. Sick of being here, sick of not being able to finish any of the projects I have going, sick of not having any fun. Sick sick sick. It doesn’t help that apparently there are certain people to who I can’t talk to.
It’s pretty bad when you can’t even go to class and expect the prof to be there anymore. Oh no, he’s in a different class, and neglected to tell us, we have to go and find him, like a giant Where Waldo game. Excuse me, I’m paying way too much money for the profs to monkey around playing hide and go seek.
Even so, I’ve decided to try for a double major, music and computer science. Why? Because I need to find a job after I graduate. And music isn’t really the most profitable, especially since I have to admit, I can’t write music — henceforth, it makes it difficult to practice recording it. Which means that most others have scores more practice than me, since I can barely swing by. I can deal with MIDI just fine, but when it comes to anything more difficult, I’m stuck.
I guess why I want to go into Computer Science is because it doesn’t take musical talent to do that, it can easily be learned while music is another thing entirely. I like media production, and I know that’ll be helpful, but I’m going to need some other type of backup. I feel like quitting school, actually, but I know that’s just a passing phase and I wouldn’t actually do it.
I wish I could just be out of school and living real life. I know these are supposed to be the best years of your life (somehow I find that really hard to believe), but spending every day/night that I’m not working or in class alone doesn’t seem to qualify as “best” years of anything. In fact, it’s starting to get really sucky.

Being out there and living “real life” isn’t all that it’s cracked up to be, Meags. Sometimes it’s pretty darn sucky too..try to keep your chin up, things’ll get better!!!

Who are these people you can’t talk to??? WE’ll hunt them down and kneecap ‘em!
Cheer up, kiddo. Life’s like an elevator, except without those emergency brakes or the hole in the roof where you can climb out and climb up the wires and get to the rooftop to fight Agents and save humanity from the Matrix.
Um…
I meant that life has its ups and downs, but that’s how it’s designed.
Hang in there!

I’m with Mup on this one. During school, I wanted to be out in the real world. Now, I’m out in the real world, and I miss a number of elements from school. The grass is always greener on the other side and all that. :) Ride it out, good things are coming your way.
