Burned-out

Not only am I trying to catch up on my work, but I'm composing a research paper for my Political Science class. Everything at this point in the semester always gets stressful. We were talking in an ACAD class I'm in, about how people become burned-out with school work. This is probably my confession that I have lost my drive or motivation to exceed. I've decided that this semester is my last semester here at the University, because it would only be crazy if I continued poorly rather then coming back when life presents another opportunity. I'm joining the United States Coast Guard in hopes that it will steer me in another direction of success. Some people say it is okay to step back away from the table if there is too much on your plate. Some say choke it down. Do you think stepping back would be an adequate decision?

Thursday, A Horrible Day

What else could go wrong. Have you even woke up and almost everything in that day just goes wrong. Well this was my Thursday. I wish I could have just slept the day away and begin on a fresh start Friday, but that was definately not the case. I woke up and readied my self for school. This class, Literature, to be exact. Upon leaving I found that my car had been broken into and all of my belongings had been stolen. The start of a horrible day. So I talked to the managment of my apartment complex and called the police. They were there for probably an hour. They found other objects in my car that werent mine, probably other belongs that had been stolen from someone else. So my entire car was searched and finger-printed. Once that was all clear and the officers left I cleaned up the mess left in my car and try to start the car to come to what was left of the class, and my car was dead. My car door had apparently been open most of the night and ran my battery down. Next step in my already horrible day. So i called my parents and they came and got me. I found that i missed my classes for the day and had a horrible day. But I also found my self thinking why would someone steal belongings of other individuals? What do you possibly gain other then material objects? Does that ever come back on your guilt? Try getting a job and growing up. But I believe in karma, and I believe it will come back on them.

Halloween at Work

October 31, celebration known as Halloween. I spent my evening at work. After arriving at 4:00 P.M. I did my normal tasks as instructed, and awaited an evening of mask-wearing, candy-hungry children. But this year was different unlike most. At the street-corner in front of our store stood a guy in protest of this celebration. At first I laughed and went on with my work. I felt the man has a right of freedom of speech and those who want to listen will, others will just ignore him. As customers entered the store I was able to make out some of what he was saying, the man protested that "If we were at God's feet tonight, what would we say?" I was appalled by the idea that the man was so offended by Halloween. Why would someone protest using the Lord, for a holiday celebration. So my Halloween had me thinking that there are people in this world who view even the simplest celebrations as being sinful.
