New Year, Not-So-New Semester

It's the last day of the year 2009, the last day of the first decade of the new millennium, and I'm sitting at home watching CSI in HD ordered for free on Verizon Fios On-Demand (which is freaking awesome, btw). This has been absolutely the most relaxing break of my student career - with only one tiny little skirmish with the parents. I really wish I didn't have to go back to school...

Speaking of school, my New Year's Resolution for 2010 is to be less negative about school. I'm not even entirely sure why I hate it so much (actually, I am, but there's too much to hate to spell it all out). Maybe if I trained myself to enjoy the pain, I'll be happier?

Self-deception isn't always a bad thing, right???

So anyway, technically January begins a new "semester" but we don't have new classes. Isn't that weird? Why would they call it a new semester when we have the same classes? Why keep old conceptions of education when you've clearly been trying to break them down in order to cram more information in our heads? For some reason, it reminds me of people who refuse to swear and use replacement words instead. Like "fudge" instead of "fuck." Not sure how that relates, but that's how my mind seems to be working these days.

Returning the good ole south in a couple of days!
