A Vision Of The Past

2007 has finally reached to a conclusion. Every year always brings happiness, sadness, joy, laughter, madness. We always think of better ways to enhance our lives as each year passes. 2007 seemed to have a different path than what I had thought out.

Once again my usual trend follows of getting a job before I reach the one year mark with a company. From a sales representative for a marketing company to a sales consultant for a leading telecommunications provider. What can I say job offers that pay me more will not be turned down, unless for some weird reason it requires me to do some impossible task, such as, dancing naked on a pole, or doing backflips 30 feet above on a high-wire. It seems that there are always exceptions to everything, at least that’s what I get in school. Everybody will find a reason to back out of something.

- On a side note, Calculus 1, with a certain professor at Chabot, really bothered me. Homework assignments are due every Monday, which is quite ok with me, though I do not understand what the point of the HW is if it only counts for extra credit, seriously though, 50 math problems for 2.5 points is really not worth it. Anyways, I did the HW, on 4 seperate pieces of binder paper. Unstapled. As I went to turn it in, the teacher did not accept it, since it was not stapled. At this point I was irritated at the fact that it was right in his face and would not take it. He then told me to follow him into his office, which I did, in hopes to use his stapler to staple the given assignment. As I walk into his office and ask for a stapler, he automatically shoots me down and says, “It is your responsibility to find a stapler.” I could really not believe what I just heard. He would not even let me borrow his stapler. I had to walk around campus in hopes of finding a stapler, luckily, this was early in the morning, so the library always had a stapler.

School seems to have been an upset for me during 2007, at least for what I make it to be. I am on track to getting a degree, but when in time is that going to happen? I have seriously though about changing majors, just to get a degree quicker, but I’ve been talked out of it so many times, that it’s not going to do me any good, if I’m only changing it for the sake of getting out of school. Since then, I’ve managed to stay on course with a major that I plotted out since the fall of 2006. Mechanical/Aeronautical Engineering is my desired field of study. I think minor in Photography, would be good too, but with the amount of work in not just phsyical sciences and mathematics, I don’t think I have time for any artistic work. Though I don’t see any reason why my camera cant’ be with me at all times. With all the work ahead of me still, I have no reason to believe that graduating 2009 is possible. Which I actually accept now. This is the punishment I get for not making up my mind earlier on and changing majors 3 times, for partying too much, for not concentrating. If I really think about it, it’s not a punishment. If events did not happen, then I don’t think I would’ve been happy.

Sometimes I feel like I have not accomplished much in 2007, but as I look back, I did accomplish a lot. I know what I want to be when I grow up, I know how it is to work, I know how it is to keep up friendships, I know how to go out and have fun, I know how to study. There are a lot of things I got to learn and even enhance the skills I already had. There isn’t much I can say that I regret doing. Everything does happen for a reason!! If time travel was possible, I would tear it apart, and not let it ruin the world I currently live in.

-I really don’t think time travel is possible, at least not backwards in time, but we can definetely go forward in time.

This world that I live in, is not perfect, but I’m content with what I have. Can’t really ask for more! At this time the only thing I want…IS TO SLEEP. So for now, I will end with a quote.

“ Dreams are often most profound when they seem the most crazy. ” - Sigmund Freud
