As university students and more broadly as people we all have those moments in time where the words “just please, someone, kill me” come out of our mouths. I think this week and, realistically, the last 3 for me qualify under that category. A band Jem has this song, titled “It’s Just a Ride”, let me quote a few lines here…

Life, it’s ever so strange
It’s so full of change
Think that you’ve worked it out
Then bang!
…
It’s just a ride, it’s just a ride
No need to run, no need to hide
It’ll take you round and round
Sometimes you’re up, sometimes you’re down
It’s just a ride, it’s just a ride

…did I mention I love music?

So, as I said, it’s been one of those rides. 3 weeks ago sucked, end of discussion. 2 weeks ago still kinda sucked, and I thought I was busy on top. I had no idea what I was last week, until this week rolled around. I didn’t leave anything until last minute intentionally. But on Monday I was faced with a grim prospect of a midterm on Wednesday, one more on Thursday, a script to be written for Tuesday in a language I am still learning, a group project that was due Wednesday, THIS WEEK (Oh yeah, did I ever think it was due next week) amongst over things. So, kill me now please?

That said I just got back from meeting with my group for that project and I’m feeling better, we’re all incredibly busy, but when you know things are tight and you still end the meeting with joking and laughing about it things are good! I’m now looking at being done that script and well on my way to being done the group project, even if we did vote to take a 2% late hit to get it done to a level where we want it to be. Sure I have a long couple of hours ahead of me studying for a midterm tomorrow, but you know what, who cares, I can totally do this and just repeat the same tomorrow for the 2nd one. Let’s do this!

Adam said to me that I might be going crazy; I thought, maybe. Now I think I’m not, I’m just feeling better. A while ago I linked an XKCD comic, you can see the post here, this is the continuation of it to make more sense, and this is how I feel now…

…I like it. I made a promise once, it was related to this, I’d like to think it’s still possible to keep, but I’m past feeling shitty about it, I don’t think I should be.

At the end here, I just want to apologize for the above being very badly tied together, some posts I just don’t like to fill in all the blanks, then I end up with novels not to be published.

I also want to say, that if you look around, The Wind, video I posted has now been on the digg and reddit homepages alone at least 7 times by my badly executed count, I should go play a lottery and predict some numbers. I was also walking through the SLC yesterday just as the rain finished completely soaking me and stopped, and there was a bird flying around inside, just one. And literally dozens of groups stopped and looked around, pointing, following it around and then waiting, how about that?
