And Maggie Won't Stop Buying Cookies
"I'm the worst student ever."
Yes, ladies and gentlement, that is a direct quote from yours truly. Dated about... two minutes ago. I have tried and tried, but there is just one thing that I cannot bring myself to do: classwork.
I can't stand studying, practicing, reading texts or writing music. I have no problem spending my time with SAI activities, shopping (for pretty much anything), exercising, eating and messing around on my computer. Oh, and I can't leave out watching my roommate Katie's TV series DVDs. At the moment, we're on season one of The O.C.
Now don't get me wrong.. I still love LSU. I enjoy orchestra immensely, and I can't wait to learn more about mass communications and publicity. But when it comes to music theory, oceanography and oboe literature, I honestly couldn't care less.
I am simply burnt out on things I don't need. My friend Katrina informed me that I am experiencing the 'Sophomore Slump'. Its basis? No one cares about their gen ed's. We've all been here a year, and are itching to either get more in depth with our majors or get into the real world.
Last night at dinner, Katie and I talked about how we just want to meet the wealthy Mr. Rights of our dreams, be neighbors, and shop, work out, and vacation together. It sounds simple enough, but most things do while sipping sweet tea and scarfing down burritos.
I know that my schedule will become more focused next year, as the general requirements dwindle away. The problem is that I'm bored now. My jaded attitude toward school is turning toward LSU and slowly (and easily) toward Baton Rouge. I am counting down the days until my Fall Break, during which I will be home.
I've really been trying to buckle down and get on track. But I admit that I am weak and find it hard to resist the charm of walking the LSU lakes, Target, baking and an entire series' season in two days.
Oh, in case anyone is curious, there are nine days until break.
