i dropped out of college again today... and i've never felt better...

i'd been having problems with being super depressed ever since this quarter began. today i woke up, debated going to class, stressed about a paper i had to write, and got pissed (again) about the fact that the only class i like doesn't have the teacher i like this quarter... i finally got in my truck, got to school, and while walking to my first class, turned around, went to the admissions office, and dropped all my classes...

i feel like an enormous weight has been lifted off me... instead of being bored through class, and depressed that i was there, doing things i had no desire to do, i went and got a haircut, bought a new pair of carharts, and applied for a couple of jobs. then i got tattooed. then i slept for about an hour in the tattoo shop lobby. then me and my tattooer, and a couple other people went and saw dark funeral and cannibal corpse.

all i have to do tomorrow is buy soap for my tattoo, apply for a couple more jobs, and sit on my ass... and while cleaning my room i found $80 worth of change (yes, $80...), so i'm gonna go buy some spray paint...

plus i got my travel plans all worked out for this summer...

it's a good fucking day. i haven't been in this good of a mood for a long time... :)

i have a job garrenteed (wow that's speeled horribly...:o), but i don't really want it... but then again it pays $10 an hour... i'm gonna see if i can't find a really fun job this week, otherwise i'm just gonna take the $10 an hour one...

plus i only need a job for a few months... as soon as july rolls around i'm leaving to travel for a month or two...

welcome to the club vinyl junkie. maybe we can be dumpster kids together looking for girls and getting tats. I had been going to school full time since 98. Of course had a few rough semester and then finally I said fuck it and took a semester off. I was getting towards the end and all I had were the classes I had put off and Math. It feels damn good to not have the stress of school for awhile. But I'll probably have to go back during the summer. Except I feel kinda guilty sometimes like I should be in school getting shit done faster.

 

by the wat what were you going for?

 

me = Teacher.

exactly, me too...

i'm (sorry, i was) at a community college, just trying to transfer, hopefully to NYU... do something with music... but i figure mental health is way more important than getting out of school as soon as possible...

one more post before i go to bed...

i seriously feel different... i almost feel like i'm high. when i said before that i feel like a weight has been lifted off me, i couldn't be any more litteral. i'm actually relaxed, which i haven't been for weeks... i'm covered in bruises from work, but i'm not even sore anymore... i'm relaxed, my head is clear, and i can actually think about one thing at a time, and i don't have thoughts and worries about deadlines and papers and shit barging in... at the moment i have absolutely no resposibiliies... i feel fucking awesome... and, it's only about 3:30 i think, and i'm already going to bed, and soon i'll be asleep... i haven't fallen asleep before 5am in weeks... good fucking times...:)

here's some Rob Brezny-esque advice.

 

Plan your own curriculum and stick to it.

You only pass if you get at least a B+.

Take recess when ever you want.

you can.

 

i wish i could get that feeling. school actually isn't the prob for me. i could graduate next year w/ a double major.. but i gotta work, so i cant take all the credits.

 

my burden comes form not working... i have enough money saved up for 1 more month of rent and a security deposit on my new place. and i cant find a fucking job.... i been looking for one hard for about 3 months... but cats jsut ain't hiring me... i can totally see how cats give upn on this BS.

 

on the plus side.. i've been painting like every other night... so that helps.

What state you in? California has a bunch of fucking classes you need to take. More than other states. Maybe I should get a job at a Catholic school where they don't have as many requirements.

 

Yo Tease. I'm on that same trip. Gotta stay on full time to keep on the insurance. But after the first 2 semester they stopped asking for proof of full time status. So you can skip a semester with almost no worries. Just tell you parents your taking online classes so you could look at porn and telling them your studying. Say you go to night class 2 times a week. Just go out with your boys have a pizza and some beer while watching sportscenter.

well, i can't speak for other people, but i know i get alot more partying and fucking done when i'm not in school (bonus points for dropping out again, vinyl junkie...:D)

also, you said you just want a job that'll keep you alive basically, and if yer serious about the pot thing (i know people that have been paying rent, eating, buying homes and cars through selling, it's not impossible) then you don't need some super fancy job that you hate and spent 6 years in school so you could get...

it sounds like a good choice you made for yourself. halfway through college, i freaked out, quit school and went to live on a farm in a remote corner of hawaii. if felt real good leaving school-probly comparable to what you're feeling now. i came back to the mainland over a girl i was in love with (very dumb move! of course we broke up right after i came back over) and ended up living in boston for a while which is where i finished school last year. graduating from college actually felt even better than when i dropped out. college will still be around when or if you're ready to go back--so you may as well have fun for a while. i think my year away from school was one of the best times of my life.
