A thought...And An Update...

-A Thought-

"Dig a hole in your back yard while it is raining. Sit in the hole, while the water climbs up around your ankles. Pour cold mud down your shirt collar. Sit there for forty-eight hours. And so there is no danger of your dozing off, imagine that a guy is sneaking around waiting for a chance to club you on the head, or set your house on fire. Get out of the hole, fill a suit case full of rocks, pick it up; put a shotgun in your other hand, and walk on the muddiest road you can find. Fall flat on you face every few minutes, as you imagine big meteors streaking down to sock you. If you repeat this performance every three days, for several months, you may begin to understand why an Infantryman gets out of breath. But you still won't understand, how he feels when things get tough."
-Bill Mauldin

-And An Update-

Well, college is going normal. If you would like to have a mental image, picture an ant colony. If you've ever observed an ant colony, you will notice that there always seems to be something going on; they always seem busy. Well, at college, it's just like an ant hill, except every one is too busy on their cell phones or talking about things that don't matter, that they have a hard time paying attention in class. There just a bunch of shirks. As Mark Twain rightly said, "Don't let your schooling interfere with your education."

College update

Hey everyone,

I'm sorry I haven't updated my blog in some time. I finished my first semester of college on December 9th, and since then I've visiting with family. I'm starting my second semester January 26th, so I will try and make weekly updates during that time.

My first semester passed so quickly. I must say that I was quite shocked about how other students acted. It was quite obvious that they were there, not because they wanted to be, but rather because their parents wanted them there. They would complain about how much work they were given, or would try and make excuses on why they were late, or why their work wasn't finished. During class they would either text on their cell phones, lay on their desk, or would talk about why the instructor was the worst instructor they had ever had.

Well, to sum it all up, after fifteen weeks of dedicated work, I earned an "A" in history, an "A" in English, a "B" in psychology, and a "B" in mathematics.

I will keep you all posted throughout this coming semester, as I am sure I will have some interesting stories to share.

Until then,
Jon
