And the beat goes on

In retrospect, life is good. It's great, actually. But it didn't seem like it the last few weeks. Two weeks ago was exam week, and then the beginning of this last week I spent finishing up a 25-hour-long homework assignment, which I really didn't even finish. I thought this week was going to be relaxing, but then that assignment turned out to be a lot worse than I was expecting. It's weird how much I let school get to me. I don't usually get as frustrated as I got these past few weeks. I mean, I was seriously questioning whether I really wanted to be doing engineering, and whether I wanted to go to grad school. I'm tempted to drop out of the Minor that I'm taking (which is where most of my work is coming from). I don't quit things, though. It's just not in my nature. I got cut from the baseball team three years in a row in Junior High before I finally made the team...and I can't imagine having missed out on the experiences I had if I had given up on baseball. I've made it through four years....I'll make it one more. I love my major, maybe not necessarily the classes I'm taking now, but in general I enjoy what I do.

I need to start applying to grad schools soon....really soon. Like within the next month. This might prove a difficult task with all the other school work going on, and with Navs and everything. I think I've narrowed it down to three schools to apply to. All big public schools. I like the public school atmosphere. One in the Midwest, one in the South, and one on the West Coast. I really don't have a great reason for applying to these particular schools, they just seem to be the ones in my head. I'm still not completely sure whether God wants me in grad school or not, but until I here otherwise, I guess that's where I'll head. I've been trying to keep my options open. We'll see what happens soon enough.

This year is gonna fly by. I'm already starting to make Winter break plans. And before I know it, I'm gonna be marching down the aisle in red and black to pick up my diploma.
