Is it worth it?

Currently month 10 of 20 straight months of straight school

I'm half way through. Amazing.

Summer is going by ok, I suppose. Right now I'm taking 2 courses, an Anthropology course on Human Nature and a U.S. History class. Each class is 90 minutes long, and I have each class every day for 5 weeks. Then I get a 3 day break until the second summer session starts when I take a Short Story class and a World History class for yet another 5 weeks. Then I get 2 weeks off before I start the Fall semester again.

I'm tired. It's only the 2nd week of summer session. I have 9 more weeks of this shit to go. Every night I have so much reading to do. I just finished a 3 page paper and I haven't even started doing my reading for Anthro yet. I don't want to. These classes are awfully boring. Nobody is around Newark for the summer. It's rather depressing. I went to Shaggy's last week and there was probably 20 people there total. I could have done a cartwheel if I wanted to. Any other day during the year it would have taken me 10 minutes to get to the bathroom.

So why should I subject myself to such circumstances? Why didn't I just stay at home and work and make money this summer? Why should I put that much more stress on myself? So I can graduate with all my friends next May? Do I really want to get out of college that early? My tuition for the summer is the same as an extra fall semester, so what's the big rush? College is a hell of a lot more fun than the real world and DEFINATELY more exciting in the fall than in the summer. Also, its a lot less rushed and less stress, so why go through it?

WHY DAMMIT?

As for other stuff, we (Redbulls) won our first game this past Saturday by a blowout margin, 60-something to 20-something. Too bad they were terrible. And too bad I was awful that game. 2 points, a few rebounds, a couple of steals. 3 or 4 airballs. Ughh. Next week we're playing against the rival Astonians, however, I will be unable to attend.

Why?

I'll be making my 2nd visit to Boston for Tiffany's 21st with Jarcy and Jennifer. Effectively a much needed vacation with a few of my closest friends in a nice city. As much as I'd love to be playing ball for the Redbulls, I need to get away from DE for a bit. Clear my head or something. Whatever it is, Boston will be "wicked" fun. I can't wait!

Though, I would be missing the Vanilla Ice concert at Kahunaville on Sat. What a shame...speaking of Kahunaville....HAHAHHAAHA. (I'd rather not explain here)

Final note: I got a pretty cool fortune in my fortune cookie today. I think it's true. It read "Your greatest asset is not the quantity of your friends, rather the quality of your friends."

Interesting...I guess my friends are awesome!
