| Sleepless nights, shaggy hair, wrinkled clothing, unshaved and a new post. Yes,
I'm back in school. I really have no incentive to write in this xanga
really unless I'm in school. Though, I think it'll probably benefit me
in the future when I want to have some kind of memoir.
Well like I said, I'm back in school which is really the only time I
ever post. Its just my vehicle to vent out my frustration at the world
because my mind has gone numb from soaking in the likes of
microelectronics, linear systems and signals, financial accounting and
my middler year research paper on national energy policy. Frankly, I'm
starting to feel like a real grump always complaining to my gf about
it. I thought college was supposed to be the greatest and most
memorable years of our lives...something you look back upon that had
crazy and wild times. The times where you forge friendships that last a
lifetime. After three yeas, I feel like I haven't lived it up.
Rationally, I have alot to be proud about I guess. Good GF  ,
(relatively) good grades in engineering, good co-op job, good
part-time job on campus, extracurriculars and so forth. Still I feel
like I havent had the chance to live it up. Every semester is the same
or more difficult. My daily routine consists of class, library, class,
library, class, work, extracurriculars and then back to the
library beford I head back home. Its been a week since I've had time to
atleast cook a decent meal..and I'm running out of clean clothing :-\.
I've put so much sacrifice into college, and even though I can be proud
of it, I still wonder where the pay off is.
Sometimes I just wonder if its worth it. I would just love to have the
time to do the things I like....whatever...i'm not getting into it.
It's just a part of growing up...
I can't believe how much different I am since my last post. After my
first real fulltime job all I think about is personal finance and
future planning. Retirement Planning, IRAs, 401K, day trading, credit
cards, apartment insurance, rent and trying to afford the things I want on my own...I don't even want to know what
its like to be my parents with the mortgage payments, car insurance,
home insurance and college tuition on top of the other things. I'm not
greedy, but I can't remember when money became so much more important
in my life.

Coping with roommates
I’m a nice guy, atleast I think so. I try to be understanding and patient. I even try to suck things up and try to give people the benefit of the doubt. But 2 of my roommates are really pushing my patience. There are four of us. 1 roommate, who is my friend, isn’t that bad. Except for the fact that he refuses to clean up anything. My other roommate and myself do most of the cleaning when it comes the apartment. Not only that, but he also refuses to buy anything. Now I can understand budgeting money in college, money is tight for all of us, but how can a person refuse to buy toilet paper! Or paper towels, dish washing detergent….especially when other people have been buying it all year. I just don’t get it. How were these people raised?! The thing that bothers me the most is that he has more money than the rest of us. What a douche.
Lets not forget about the new roommate. This kid has a serious problem understanding the definition of the word: possession. When he first moved in, he asked if he could use my computer to check his mail and what not. Next thing I know, hes on my computer 24/7. But I let it slide. I even let it slide when he downloaded a few songs on to my computer. Next thing I know hes downloaded like 30 songs and burning cds with my cdrs with out asking me. I tried to let it slide. But who the fuck downloads porn on some1 elses computer when theyre not around. WTF?! Atleast delete that shit so I don’t know you were watching it. Just getting the idea that this kid could be jerking off at my computer when I’m not around. AND IT DOESN’T EVEN STOP THERE. When hes alone in the apartment, he walks around NUDE! Twice I walked in on him naked! I’m trying to be nice but it just feels like every little thing he does just bothers me. It doesn’t even end there but I think I’ve vented enough. I just don’t get how some people are raised.
1 more week until I move out.
1 more week until I finish finals.
1 more week until I don’t have to come back to school for 8 months.
1 more week until I start coop and make some real money.
Studying for finals is a bitch. Especially in the Spring. Lets not forget im an electrical engineer. my mind turns to mush right around now. The freaking endless binary strings of 01's and 100011011's to calculating flux in calc or understanding how to do a freaking laplace transformation in circuits. It all sucks.

So I lost the dream apartment. My friends went apartment hunting for a very long time....and the very absolute last apartment turned out to be amazing. Large bedrooms, large closets, dining room, living room, kitchen w/ appliances, full bath with washer and dryer inside, sky lights, exposed brick, rooftop deck, close to campus and at a very low rate....landlord just does not want to give it to a college students, let alone male students. Its not like we're messy or anything. He wouldnt even give us a chance to explain that to him; just refused to give it to us. Sucks.
Whats even worse is that we have no choice but to choose our backup apartment. Its tiny, and cramped. Not even close to the other apartment and somehow its the same price. | | |
| Its so hard trying to be nice when I feel like being pissy. I hate trying to suck things up and be nice to people. Coworkers, roommates, classmates, colleagues, whatever. | | |
