in the past month…
wow. i have been missing in action for the past month. i am back in school and it is consuming my life. when i have free time my friends are not able to hang out. when my friends want to hang out i am either at school or at work. story of my young life. most people hear, “oh you’re a history major. that isnt that hard why are you complaining about the amount of work that you have?” let me tell you all about what it takes to be a history major.
- A LOT of reading; primary, secondary sources, professional journals, etc.
- analyzing, and interpreting
- PAPERS.
- must have knowledge of pretty much every subject. so you have to be really well rounded in all areas of academics.
yeah i dont have to memorize formulas and shit, but forming coherent and complex interpretations on at least 60 pages of reading material a night gets tiring and difficult. so SUCK IT TO EVERYONE WHO DOES NOT RESPECT US HISTORY MAJORS! work is absolutely horrible. i feel like i am always there, and being that i am getting a new phone soon, i need to work my ass off and suck it up. i really like school this semester, really anything is better then last semester. but memories cannot help but re-surface themselves. it was around this time last year when everything was formulating as i wanted it to for months. and now it is like nothing ever happened. coming up on one year in less then two months, and i am dreading that day. what really gets me is that it really is like nothing ever happened; we go about our lives as strangers now and it makes me sick to my stomach walking by you and having you look at me with regret like you do not know me. why?
watching “extreme couponing” right now and it, and tumblr, is distracting me from reading this book for school for my modern world HISTORY class. see, more reading. i should probably get off of here and read about how religion should not be intertwined with politics.
