It's brought to our attention on a daily basis at school that the quarter is almost over and that we really need to get serious about bringing together loose ends and so forth. I am fairly confident that all my ends are tied and flailing in the wind no longer.
I have determined that the majority of my co-learners have the same level of preparedness as that squirrel I ran over a few days ago. (By the way, it was my first!)
Most of the curriculum for my program of study is self-paced...which pretty much means that it is up to me, the student, to make sure that I get everything done. I, being the model student that I am, have been making the most of every minute at Central Georgia University of Higher Learning and Cosmetology. I have learned from my experiences that I can easily fall into a trap of not having everything done on time.
Again, I am basically alone in this determination. After sufficiently complaining about the lack of time we have left in the term to complete their work, most of my classmates left a good hour early tonight.
I hate this. My fellow students get ticked off because time is running out and they ain't gonna finish everything...and, yet, they leave early. Probably to go to the library to check e-mail or to the parking lot to buy/sell some fine pawn-shop quality items.
And please make no inference that this is in any way directed at a specific race, creed, or religion. Well, maybe creed. But, anyway, this is everybody and their mamas, literally. The general attitude is that "somebody else is paying for this (the state, the federal gov't, etc.) so I can screw around and not take this even as seriously as I take my job at Krystal, which, by the way, I show up for less than half the time."
(Parenthetically, I think I'm on to something. That sounds a lot like the attitude of those who abuse Welfare and Medicaid and every other form of handout that we, as a country, supply to those who don't have jobs because they've never looked for jobs. Ask me about the Medicaid Escalade. Coming down off soap box...)
So, in conclusion, I'm in one of my "The Whole World Is Stupid Except For Me And A Select Few...Forget It - Just Me" attitudes. The real conclusion is that unless you're doing everything in your power to make something happen, don't complain that it has not yet happened.

Excellent! I feel the same way about going to Georgia Military College. The name is deceiving, most of the students are just as Krystal's working and not caring as those you attend class with. I could take a page from you book, errr, a post from you blog as it were. I have gotten to the point where I just don't care about my education anymore. Since I left Berry, which I loved by the way, I have learned more by studing that which interests me and I have choosen to read about than I ever have in a GMC classroom. It's like my English/Ethics professor Joe Sersey says, "You can't tell a 9th grade student she is worthless. It's too early. You don't know yet, you have to wait and see!"
