OUTER SPACE

I think adding links is cool. I have just realized how much they can help, or assist us when we need more information. Technology is cool. We can send messages to other planets via radio waves that tell how we, here on planet Earth, are nice.

WELCOME TO THOSE THAT ARE JUST JOINING US

I have been thinking a great deal about how school is not making my life happy. I have come to a conclusion that I feel is brilliant. Here it is: School has an inverse relationship with my happiness. I really am hoping that my conclusion is only correct in the short run. Ideally I would like to have my happiness be directly correlated from school (at least in part).

I can't put my finger directly on the reason for this semester being the worst one yet, or how I can be so sure that the next will be even more vexing than ever. Just this previous week I was so incredibly downtrodden about my situation that I nearly lied on the grass for hours instead of going to class. I have digressed.

Back to the point. Many of you that religiously read this blog have been the unfortunate soles to hear me gripe about how I have not been learning anything that I believe will be applicable to real life, however, I will prove that I have indeed learned things that are probably not likely to be applicable.

I know about the law of diminishing returns. It is a sad law indeed. As I take more classes I will receive less knowledge. I will essentially be spending a great deal of time and money in my final semester on few new concepts. This being the case, I will value these few new concepts more than any of the prior that I have locked in the time lock safe at my knowledge bank.

In conclusion I will just say that I don't care for school. I have thought on the margin and believe that it would be beneficial to continue school. I know what you are all thinking right now.... "But you are forgetting that your schooling so far is a sunk cost now." What you are thinking is correct, and you are quite brilliant for bringing up said argument. I commend you on this. But you are wrong. I did think about that. WRONG.

TIME MACHINE

I want a time machine so that I can time machine myself out of school. The only problem with the time machine is that I need to learn the things I am learning in school for a job. If I use a time machine I would skip over the knowledge that I need. Is there a way to go on autopilot and not notice the other part of life other than going to school?

SQUISHY ANKLE

I have been having a hard time with my car, and I have been actively using public transportation in an attempt to avoid making the problems with my car get worse. I have come to some interesting conclusions about public transportation.

1. I think riding the bus is a pretty good time. People are really funny on the bus, and it has given me an appreciation for ice cream. People that have to take the bus home from the store must have a very difficult time getting ice cream to their home without it melting.

2. Trains are nicer than buses. I rode "Frontrunner" yesterday, as well as TRAX. I wish there were many more TRAX lines around the city. It would be awesome to be able to take trains all over rather than a bus.

3. If you have to take the bus, make sure that you have hours of extra free time that is available for consumption by waiting for buses. I went to the university with Matthew on Friday evening. We have a bus stop that is a block away from our house that has a stop a block away from a TRAX station. We had no idea that it would take 2 hours for us to go turn in a paper and get a book at the library. I would estimate that the same trip in a car would take less than 45 minutes easily.

4. Riding the bus makes for a good time to think about life.

5. The best seats are the ones on Frontrunner and the worst are on TRAX.
