College Class

So the class that I am in currently that I find most interesting has to be linear algebra, MAT 175.  It is pretty difficult and a lot of work, but we learn some cool stuff.  A couple day ago in linear algebra I was talking to one of my friends.  We talked about why I was so sun burnt.  This was because I was fishing nearly the whole day last Saturday and neglected to wear sunscreen.  No I am peeling all over my face, neck and ears and I do not like it.  I was told that I should have put lotion on my sunburn everyday.  I ignored it and this is what I get.  We talked about this summer too.  I already got my summer job worked out.  I am working at a golf course kind of close to my house where I am part of the grounds crew.  I will be working from five to one everyday so that is going to kind of suck but it will be worth the money.  Working forty hours a week is going to be really nice. My best friend also plans on working there so it will be fun.  I plan on taking a couple fridays and mondays off so that i can go to our lake cabin up in Minnesota.  I love that place.  There is like no big cities so the stars are crystal clear. You can see like every star in the sky.  Sometime were lucky enough to see the northern lights too.  But anyways Linear Algebra is a fun class and definitely keeps me on my toes.  We learn primarily about matrices and stuff like that.  We have to prove like every single thing that we do.  it sounds terrible and it sometimes is, but you get to learn a lot that I will need to know for my future.  today my calc 3 teacher said, I like to use exams as weapons of mass instruction and i could not stop laughing.

Researched Topic

So my research project that I am doing now is about discrimination in auto insurance.  I am running into all sorts of problems.  The major problem being that I have a fishing tournament this weekend and really do not want to do the first draft over the weekend.  I have to be at the football stadium at 430 AM on a Saturday morning.  This is really going to suck and be problematic in my researching one way or another.  I will not have a lot of sleep so I will not be able to focus on writing the paper.  But anyways another problem I have had with researching is trying to decide which lures to use in the lake I will be fishing in.  Ill probably just put on a white spinner bait and hope for the best.  Dont get me wrong, in no way will this have an affect on my grade because even if I did not have a fishing tournament this weekend I still would have not done any research til last night and wouldnt start my paper til monday night around 7 anyways.  I have a serious problem with procrastination, but I will talk to you about that later.. (get it? its a pun) Another problem I had with researching was the sheer inclination of just not wanting to do it.  I despise writing academic papers.  at least with the other ones we were like creating stuff and writing about stuff we created and it was unique.  With this poop we have to basically learn about what everyone else thinks just to decide what we think.  I can tell you exactly how I feel about Insurance discrimination in about 20 words with the use of maybe one source.  I don't need 8 sources and over a thousand words to tell you how I what my stance on an argument may be.  But for some people they might need that much so good for them.

Plans for Spring Break

Spring break is awesome.  This past week has sucked horribly.  So many tests and quizzes and quests.  I can not wait to finally be home.  You see, I have a wonderful girlfriend back home and I only get to see her like every other weekend.  I hate to complain but it really does suck.  I am so excited to spend an entire week with her.  Our year and a half is also the fifteenth so that is even more exciting.  My plans for spring break are as follows:  First, I arrive home and unpack.  Next I go to pick up my girlfriend and we go out to eat.  Most likely buffalo wild wings, because that place is delicious.  After that we will probably go to the woodfield mall to shop for some stuff.  After that I think we are visiting her grandparents.  So yeah, I am just glad I will get to see her.  So this spring break I am probably going to apply for some summer jobs.  I really do not want to work at the ymca again for the summer camp thing.  It is not terrible, it is just kids can be very infuriating and I have the patience of a person with not a lot of patience.  So I hope I can get a really easy like busy work job, like stocking shelves somewhere or working at like an outdoors place.  But ya spring break should be a ton of fun.  I am so ready to finally get a break from this place.  Some home cooked meals, a nice clean shower, a comfy bed, and a free convenient washer machine.  This week will be great.  Spring break starts friday at like 11 for me.  I am not too sure what time I am going to get home, but spring break is gonna be spectacular.
