| Yay! Summer semester is over. I think I got an A in the class, but I will find out in a week or so.
I applied for the right loan today and dropped off a scholarship at Tri-C today.
Anyway, it is now the start of my summer and it is almost over. So it goes.

I might not be able to go to school in the fall.
This isn't good news.
I will find out more tomorrow (Thursday).
Update: Thursday August 3rd.
I can go to school.
Just a tip: When applying for a loan, make sure you apply for the correct loan. If you don't, you won't qualify for the wrong loan. I learned that today.

| It is the last week of my summer class, Math 0960, at Tri-C. I have two tests this week, chapter 9 on Tuesday and the final on Thursday, so I am studying for those. Chapter 9 started out simple now it looks like a foreign language. Whatever, I will do okay I guess.
I got a $390 scholarship for the school year today. That was exciting to recieve, but I still need to have my loan go through, so I can pay for the rest of the year.
I recieved work study this year at Tri-C. I have a new job lined for that in the Admissions and Registration department as a student assisstant. I am excited about that because now I can quit my current job which is good because I can barely stand my current job, and I only work one day a week.
I got to make my own schedule for my new job, so that was cool. The schedule also works perfectly for sharing a car with my mom. That is a good thing.
Ugh, I better go back to studying for the Chapter 9 test tomorrow. Parabolas and Functions can take a flying leap off a bridge though. Thats all I can say.

| Lately, I have been overhearing conversations, reading blogs, and
forums. People want to be perfect. Perfect is defined as, "being
without defect or blemish"(1).
They want to have a perfect job, government, or relationship everything
without defect or blemish. I think that is silly to be honest. It is
not because I don't my life to be perfect. Honestly, my life is far
from "perfect" and probably always will be. The reason I find it silly
is because everyone's idea of perfect, good, or real is different from
everyone else.
Now lets take work for example. I know my job
isn't great. It is far from it. I work at a resturant that is favored
by old men that wear shorts, smoke cigarettes, and drink coffee for
hours at time, several times a day. The people I work with aren't high
class. They party, drink, smoke, cuss, and aren't educated. While those
are flaws to me, that lifestyle works for them. So how can I get along
with them in my "perfect world?" I don't think I can unless I accept
them for who they are and try not to be a jerk to anyone so they can
understand me. Now that job, or my situation, is not the probelm
though. Maybe people can relate to my work experience though. But
anyway, I wonder if I will ever have the perfect job. But then I need
to define perfect again. I don't think I will ever be in a work
situation will ever be considered good, much less perfect. Mainly
because I am lazy and I don't like work. Although I do at the same
time. I just don't like pressure. And sadly, I doubt any job I have
will ever be without pressure. But what about those people that work
best under pressure? It doesn't faze them. What happens if I land a job
with pressure and the guy who works best under pressure lands a job
with no pressure? Then both of our work experiences are flawed. But we
stick with our jobs because we know we have to and for our whole lives
we wonder about the perfect job. Yet still, what if I get the job with
no pressure and the other guy does? What if the job is a mindless
boring job? I don't like that type of work either. There are always
situations in work where everything can seem like they would be good,
or perfect, but they are far from it.
The next thing I was
thinking about was the idea of the perfect government. The is the most
ridiculous ever. I have come to the conclusion that there will never be
a perfect government. Jus look at how many people there are in America.
(The only reason I am using America is because I live in America and I
am familar with it. However, these ideas or thoughts can probably be
used for the country of your choice.) How can a group of government
leaders please every American, or illegal want-to-be Americans? They
can't. There have been so many changes and new issues in our country
such as illegal immigrants, gay marriage, abortion, the war on
terrorism, and more. Obviously in a country with almost 300 million
people, there will be disagreements on how those forementioned issues
should be handled. Just because something isn't in the constitution
doesn't make it right. The constitution was written over 200 years ago.
Things have changed since then. However, maybe the issue isn't a threat
to our country and it shouldn't be added to constitution as illegal.
Just because a government isn't doing everything to make your world the
way you dreamt about it, doesn't mean they aren't trying. I think most
Americans don't want to see America fall as a superpower. But would it
really hurt our country if it wasn't a superpower? There are a lot of
countries that aren't superpower, yet still survive just fine. The
people live just like us. They have money. They have food. They have a
home. Maybe America would be better if it wasn't a superpower because
they would spend more time worrying about their citizens rather than
worrying about world issues.
Next is relationships. I have never
dated, and I don't think I have been in love just yet. But I can't wait
until I meet that special someone over time. The thing that annoys me
about couples is when they/or one person involved spends to much time
thinking about the relationship. It makes sense if one person involved
spends more than 49% of their time doubting the relationship will work
it, the relationship will not work out, and it would be best if the
relationship ended that second instead of days, weeks, months, and
years of trying to put together the pieces of a broken puzzle when the
pieces belong to two differents puzzles. A relationship should be
enjoyed, but can one fully enjoy a relationship? There are always going
to be flaws in a person and the other person will always see them and
try to fix them, or live with it. But what if those flaws aren't flaws
to flawed person? Then someone trying to change them will be
distrupting their routine and they will either pretend to stop, or keep
on doing the flawed thing. Either way the flaw will still be their, it
will just make the other person happy and other person unhappy, but in
the reverse order of the original probelm.
I guess the thing
that motivated me to write this is when I came up with my own
conclusion that nothing is perfect. Nothing will ever be perfect. At
least not on earth. Nothing is good. Nothing will ever be good. At
least not on earth. Everyone has different opinions than the person
next to them. And it will always be that way. And the best way to deal
with that is to just keep loving. Always love. That will at least make
things tolerable, and thats the least we can hope for. That's the only
thing we will ever have. | | |
