How many of you are current students as well?!? I’m curious to see how many of you deal with the pressures of life from school, work, life, etc. I know that I tend to be the one that likes to get stuff/projects done the moment I know about them. I like to get it done now, so I can relax and play later. I learned a long time ago, not to be the one who waits till the last minute to get it done.

However, with that said there are those who work better, or even at their best, under pressure. I know for a fact that I am not naturally the kind of guy. Yes, there have been moments in my life where that has happened and I pulled it off by the grace of God alone. Alas, those moments are rare to say the least.

I know that I have been trying to get through this whole college experience with the purpose of better my life for my future and family. For three years now I have been busting my butt through classes and doing moderately well.

……UNTIL THIS TERM!!

I have been hearing from friends, family and college people “I don’t know how you’re doing it, Kris?” And frankly, I don’t either. I have that I have been pushing through these past few yrs with a type of survival mode-way-of-thinking. I have been tired and worn to the bone, but I always managed to get stuff done because “I got to do it.” That’s what I have been telling myself this whole time.

Now this term, I am attending classes that I need to pass in order to progress to some upper division courses. They are not pre-req’s by any means. Just lower division classes that I need to pass so I can move on.  Its nothing too bad either just tediousness, I guess. These classes aren’t holding my interest…there I said it.

I’m must hoping to pass with some kind of grade that will allow me to move forward. I just don’t like the subject matter, and that’s really saying something coming from me. I love school and I love most aspects of the learning process. But these classes this term and just killing my soul. For the first time EVER in my college career, I feel like the classes are really just wasting my time. However…I am all too aware of the fact that I am also paying for this. So I try to stay focused and ….take in something of what is being said.

Oh well, maybe I’m just dealing with a bad case of Junior-itous. Yes, sometime I come up with my own words and catch phrases. Look for more of those in the future.
