What is this, November?

It was freezing out today. What the hell?! The weather was SO nice up until today. The shorts were put away and I had to wear jeans and...a sweatshirt. Yeah, talk about disappointment. Gloominess once again overshadowed Storrs as a recently jubilant student body put their frowns back on for a depressing day. God damnit, it makes being in the engineering lab look like a ray of sunshine. Whatever, I got a ton of work done today. That doesn't mean today through Friday won't be busy, however. Luckily a weekend full of fun festivities helps, including the Wiz concert. April's going to be packed, but hey, the madness ends in the early days of May.

I've noticed something about college, at least for me. I'm not saying this is true for everyone, because it's probably not. But I feel like college life takes away pieces of who you are. What I mean by this is, your personality and what you like to do. Maybe it's just because everyone around here is from a small town in Connecticut where there is nothing else to do, but honestly drinking does not always spell a good time for me. Call me lame, whatever. I've had my experiences and I've seen enough to know that there's way more out there to entertain me than booze. However, in a college setting, that's one of the main things people do. It's almost like a limiting factor (especially when you go to school next to cows). In addition, your routine includes Sundays almost always being for studying. Classes are at random times and in between there's not much time to do anything constructive. Basically, what I'm trying to say is college stripped me down to a class going, homework doing, facebook stalking, alcohol drinking zombie. Yeah, I said it. I want my life back!

That's where graduation comes in. Working during the week = money for the weekends. Money for the weekends = fun things to do. I'll have free time to do things I enjoy, which will probably be getting back into baseball , bowling in leagues again, starting a computer repair business, and mastering the stock trading game. No time for any of that nonsense in college. Try it, it won't work out.

So yeah, as you can tell pieces of me are starting to accept that I'll be a 9-5er in a few months. It's certainly a start, and I absolutely have a lot I want to accomplish. For now though, I think I'll enjoy not having to get up before 9am, creating legendary stories on the weekends, and pretending I know how to cook a decent meal.

Peace out for now.
