Well...who has time to blog? You'd think not having the time to blog means that I have a lot to blog about, such is not true. I think you can describe almost anything using a metaphor of a hurricane. Everything twisting around in an endless spiral, harsh winds, lots of drowning water, and an eye. My spiral is an endless cycle of homework, work and tests. Harsh winds are the realization that despite all that, I still have a lot to do. Drowning water is simply that, I have more to do than I have time for. And the eye is interesting, a calm in the storm during which time I never do anything useful, just waste time and try to calm down and make sense of things.
None of it ever works, so I'll just blow away. See you when I land.

I hate my major
I'm majoring in "Information Technology" (eventually Computer Science) because I have an inexplicably strong love for computers. However, I've discovered I really hate taking major-specific courses for it. The computer industry is always full of dick-measuring. I'm not sure why. Maybe because for most of us, it's the only talent we have, and it isn't exactly a talent you go pick up hotties with. Not to mention, it's not something you can ramble on about passionately at a dinner party. So I hate it. I hate being the best at it, because #1 is a very lonely position to fill. I tell you in angry frustration, and not in arogance, that I havn't met anyone that can come close to the knowledge I've obtained about my passion.
So, screw it. I need a new talent. So I asked myself, what do I love as much as computers? The answer is music. But I don't know how to play anything, and I have zero singing talent. So it's been decided that I will learn to play the piano. I'm a sucker for a piano tune and always have been, so if I spend hours and hours learning how to play a simple tune I'll still be happy in the end. Also, it'll be hours and hours I have not spent learning even more about a topic I already know so much about I can't find anyone that can keep up in a light hearted conversation about.
