Education for dummies

Man, I feel so lazy lately. I really need to get rid of that. I should find some kind of motivation to get me doing something so I can get off my fat, lazy ass. Although I've changed my mind in order to study civil engineering again, I still wish I hadn't been so indecisive. All I can think about is to look on to start working hard cuz I've messed around so damn much that it bugs me and eats me up from the inside. This semester seems rather painful to look at since I'm going to take chem, physics, and calculus all at the same time, it's something that seems to suit me a bit more. Unfortunately, the architecture program that I'm about to drop out of covers the traditional studies of architecture rather than the modern style that I'm a lot more interested in.

I'm a lot more excited to become a civil engineer because they're more practical than architects with their massive amounts of calculations and logic as for architects are more artistics. Again, I'm a lot more technical than abstract. Some people think that I'm an ass, but hey, sounds suitable to be an engineer.

I'm really happy to hear that Jen's little cousin Martin is aiming for a specific title. Yesterday, he told me that he wants to be a software programmer and that makes me happy that he's chosen a path that's secure and successful at the same time. He's only 13 and he knows how to find loopholes and technicality as well as I do if not better. I think the only thing I can really do is to help him NOT go down the same path that I have to waste 3 years of his life like I did. The biggest inspiration that I have in mind is how there are people who are twice my age who are still going back to school and thinking that it's still not too late for them. Hell, if they're over 40 and think that they still got a lot of time, then I have 20 years of advantage on top of them.

Alright, I practically motivated myself now. Yup, time to kick some academics ass.
