Flippant

    Flippant: Marked by disrespectful levity or casualness; pert. This is the description of my attitude towards school based upon my last post, apparently. I strongly disagree with this, however. My attitude is not flippant, but conceding, that is: to acknowledge, often reluctantly, as being true. My last post concerning my grades simply stated what was most likely the outcome, there is nothing I can do at this point besides my finals, and thus I concede to that fact. I will not cause myself to stress over what can not now be done, I will not allow myself to be miserable over what cannot be changed. I will concede to the fact that I could have done better in my classes, that it is possible I could have not slept through a presentation, which happened on accident, that I could have not gotten confused on due dates, that I could have not done poorly on a first test that I expected to be different than what was presented. These things are possible, but what happened happened, and not out of a flippant attitude. If I truely had a flippant attitude, then all my classes would be marked by it, not just 2 classes that I did poorly in, but all 5.

    I do not have the greatest love towards school, as most of the relevant and useful information I know I have learned outside of it. This, however, does not I mean that I don't recognize the importantance that society has placed in it, and with that in mind, I attempt to get A's and B's in my classes. I, myself, have no desire to be at college. I am, however, here because I know that my parents want me to graduate, and for them I am here. What will I do after I graduate? I do not know, most likely I will get a job that I do not enjoy doing who knows what. Perhaps this possible internship will give me a better idea. Interestingly enough, I have a feeling that the type of work I will be doing there will come from the pool of knowledge not learned from school.

    Do I play too many computer game? Most likely I do. Computer games are a place my mind can roam free, where I can communicate with my friends, where I can enjoy challenges and enjoy the beauty that can be created from electronic switches flipping on and off. Computer games are where I can be free and where I can relax and seek enjoyment. I love to make lego movies, and I greatly enjoy working on websites, however, lately I have felt drained, so I haven't spent much time on either of these things.

    I look forward to the coming fall semester, as I will have a roommate once again, and the possiblities of things to come. I'm not completely sure on whether I will for sure be taking summer class, I am currently looking over the course selections to see available times. I need to pick classes at or after 7pm with the possiblity of the internship in mind. I very well might end up adding on a course in the Fall Semester to cover for what I was planning to take during the summer. I'll have that figured out soon enough, I hope.

    Well, I did just get done a little less than an hour ago with my Finance 3113 final exam. I feel I did well on it. There were a few questions that drove me crazy as well as created a brain fart. I definatly made a B, if not an A on it, and I'm leaning towards the fact that I made an A. Only time will tell.

    Now, as my stomach has been growling at me, I will eat my turkey and swish on a croissant with my Sobe Orange Cream Flavored Beverage.

    TUMEO.
