Creeping up on two months since I've done any writing here at the Chronicles. Let's be honest, my updates aren't very regular. I doubt that anyone that reads this gives a shit. Oh well. I don't really give a shit either.
What's new since my last post? Not much of anything other than I have a girlfriend for the first time since 2006. That (or she) is what this post will be about.
It's amazing what comes about when you drink for 15 hours straight. To backtrack, I had some messages pop up on my Facebook back in November asking if I would want to date this girl. Before I could respond, they were gone. The night of the Alabama-Mississippi State game, I was belligerently drunk and demanded that a friend of the both of us invite her over. To be honest, it was the best thing that I have demanded in quite a while.
I was drunk, she drank some of my apple juice/vodka concoction, and we listened to music for a bit.
The actual dating came about because we were drunk and figured that it was a good idea. I knew something good would come out of being drunk. I just didn't know when.
This rules. I'm not gonna lie. I haven't been stoked about anyone like this since I was 17. I really dig this girl and I'm pretty sure that she doesn't think that I suck like hell. It's really nice to have someone around that has similar opinions religiously, musically, and to some extent, politically.
Most of all, and what I think is probably most important, she just rules. I haven't been into someone like this in a long time (almost 7 years), and I'm glad that I know what this is like again. Hell, it really makes me feel young again.
This is as far as I'm going to talk about it. I don't want to get all mushy and make anyone vomit.
Oh yeah, Fall 2010 was the best semester that I've posted since I've been in college with a 3.0 GPA. It blew me the hell away. If I can keep it up for the next couple of semesters, I might graduate with a decent GPA and actually be able to do what I want to do when I graduate.
I decided that I want to teach when I finish school. I know that I wanted to get a degree in library and information science, and I still do, but I feel like I could make a more positive impact being a teacher. I remember the handful of teachers in high school and middle school that had some sort of impact on me and I want to return the favor. That and if my really shaky financial plan works out like it does in my head, I could be out of student loan debt within a couple of years. I doubt it will, but I want to try anyway.
I have two semesters left as an undergraduate. I should have graduated already, but we're all well aware of how I have taken my sweet ass time at finishing college. This semester looks like it won't be too terrible. There is a lot of work and a lot more reading, but all of the classes are enjoyable for once. A class on baseball, the American South prior to the Civil War, a class on women in Europe since 1750, a class on public opinion, and a class on the conflict between science and religion. For once, I'm excited about what I have to do for the next four months.
This, along with pretty much every other thing I post on here, is pretty goddamn pointless and retarded. I don't have anything relevant to say. I'm kinda drunk. I should go take a nap. That's actually a pretty good idea.
I managed to fix my computer and recover all of the music that was on my iPod, so the loss of music was minimal. Good thing almost all of my pictures were posted online or I would have lost all of them.
I'm taking Hannah to see Against Me! for the first time Friday. It's her first time, not mine. It will be my 8th time. I'm still just excited as I was my first time.
Yeah, I'm done. I need a goddamn nap.
Later.
