So this crazy little thing called school...

      So right now I'm studying at Idaho State University. At the conclusion of this semester I will be a sophomore (as far as credits are concerned). I am studying generals at the moment but will eventually be knee deep in physics in about a year; and over the head in two ;-). I have basically just been doing busy work and have mixed feelings about getting good grades on it. For instance, I just finished taking the second of three tests for my social problems class. It was open note and open book  and I scored 105/105. I feel proud yet I'm not sure that I should be. The test was a little tricky but not extremely difficult. I have also been doing exceptionally well in my other classes but since they are just generals they continue to feel like busy work and I'm not sure if I should be proud of my good grades. I know it is a good thing that I am getting them though because I sure don't want to play for my education; I'd much rather have a government institution pay for it ;-). So it is important but I'm still stuck with the question: Should I be proud? I know what my family would say, and what the other people in my immediate social/support group would say but there is still a part of me that feels like i'm only scratching the surface and not really digging as deep as I should be. I'm sure a lot of you are reading this and thinking, man this guy is a ****ing moron. If I was getting those grades I'd be happy. So perhaps this is just an illogical rant and maybe I am just a moron but it still takes up some of my precious non-daydreaming thinking time.
      On another note, holey pissin sea monkeys batman, its the beginning of november and your semester is over in 6 weeks(ish). Has anyone else noticed how fast this school has been going? Its crazy, just when I thought I would be all over college living the life I seem to have let my conscious mind step back and press the fast forward button. I suddenly jumped into the middle of a show and now I'm saying to myself WTF? where did everything go? Where is this college life I'm suddenly missing out on? sigh, who will ever know. I think this is going to conclude today's quasi-rant...
