Where have all the flowers gone and other random stuff
Where have all the flowers gone, long time passing, where have all the flowers gone, long time ago. Where have all the flowers gone, gone to young girls everyone. When will they ever learn? When will they ever learn.
Ok, that was very random. For some odd reason, that song just popped into my head.
Anyway, schools going...well, as best as school can I guess. I'm having the time of my life studying genetics, chemistry and mircobiology. And as I sit there in class trying to stay focused and whatnot, I wonder...what am I doing there anyway?
I keep talking that someday, I'm going to get out of school and work with animals. That will be great if that ever happens. It probably didn't help much that I made a stop by my Disney internship page to grab some info for the job I want and then made another stop at the American Zooalogica Association web site to check out other internships. Looking over the application for Disney and the requirments for the other internships, makes me wonder if I'm qualified or not for such a job.
I don't have any lab time, other then what I'm required to do for my classes, and I have not worked with any animals for over three years now, and lastly I'm so far removed from 4-H that what I did back then really won't count towards anything now.
Today at work, we were having this odd conversation about when we graduated from high school. I guess there is suppose to be a five year reunion or something along those lines and several of us were talking about how much of a waist of time that would be. I know that at least half my class is already married and/or have families and several of us are still in school. Like I said, it was an odd conversation.
Something else that is odd. Since I've been promoted, it's like the supervisors are talking to me more and telling me things that I never knew, and frankly could care less about. But it is still odd. Forexample, when I work with Amanada, she talks to me all the time about her life and whatnot.
Speaking of work, I need to have Tobe look over my application for Disney. I know he'll he harsh, but that's what I need. I need a very critcal eye to look at it. I need to gain every advantage I can get for this internship. I don't want to graduate with a degree and not be able to use it, or end up going back to school to teach. I'm counting on this as a stepping stone for the future.
Oh, something kinda/sorta exciting happened tonight. Tonight was the first time since I've been in college that the little Mormons came calling. Now, what my parents have always told me was to tell them I'm catholic and they will go away. Apprently that doesn't work any more since I could not get the girls to stop talking. I should have just said, "I'm not interested." It probably didn't help that the girl who was their spokesperson, had a very heavy accent and I couldn't really understand her so I kept having her repeat things. Finally I looked at one of the other girls for help. When the 'translation' was finished, I could not believe what they were trying to 'sell'. It boggles the mind. All I have to say is this: I think people will find religion on their own and don't need people shouting at them on their way to class (later to come this year...joy!), have people knocking on their doors preaching at them, or saying you're in the wrong because you don't go to the 'correct' church.
I tell you, the whole thing is messed up. And one of the reasons why I don't go to church since I've gone off to college, the one close to campus, which is suppose to be targeted to the collge students is very clicish. And I mean to the point where you litterally are given a cold greeting when you walk in the door.
As you can probably tell, I'm being very random tonight and nothing is really making any point. So on that note, I should just turn in for the night and get some well deserved rest so I can hit the books bright and early tomorrow morning.
