Class is Now in Session

Ah, doesn't success continue to be an ongoing, driving force of life?

Is it success? Is it happiness?

I beg to put a stop to this madness, but it will never cease.

I watched Dead Poet's Society last night. What a wonderfully enchanting and depressing movie.

Carpe Diem! Seize the day!

What I don't quite understand is the fact, that it can't be done by all.
When the suicide occurs, I just can't help but dwell on the idea of suicide. The boy is 17 years old. Is it truly necessary to come to the terms of life by ending it? Sure, he believes he has hit his climatic point in life by starring in a play, but is it necessary to end the beauty of life? He believes it is his last resort to come out of the reigns of his annoyingly strict and suffocating father, but let's not be so immature as to commit suicide. Move out! Make a name for yourself! And THEN show your father who's boss. That's what I would do...or try to do.

Irregardless...haha, I mean, Regardless, this post was supposed to be about class starting...

I'm really freaking excited and nervous, although the former outweighs the latter.
I came to OSU today expecting to drop one of my classes at 7:30AM, and was denied. This week has proven to be a week of denying Bethany and treating her like a minority (even though she is one).

Let's see, here's a concise and summarized version:
Monday: wake up, take a shower, study for a Math proficiency Exam for four hours, fail Math proficiency exam in one hour, go to zoo to be denied entrance because dad's name is on card and he is not present

Tuesday: wake up, make up bowl of cereal and realize there's no milk, eat cereal dry with fingers, go to OSU and confirm failing of aforementioned Math proficiency exam, go to Advisor's office and be denied and discriminated against by receptionist ("Are you an International student?" "NOOOO" "What's your e-mail address?" "Brakemeyer.1" "Brakemeyer??" yes, I'm a citizen of the United States of America. My last name is, in fact, Brakemeyer. I'm sorry if it disappoints you my last name is not Lee, Kim, Chang, Chung, etc)

Wednesday: wake up at 5:45AM! drive to OSU, find out I should've stayed in bed til class time

Let's hope this week does not continue in the same suit.

Well, I still have an hour and fifteen minutes before class. I guess it's time to stalk people somewhere or check out the stupidest videos on youtube ever. I thought college was supposed to help smart people stay smart. I guess I'll continue becoming more stupid now...
