School kicked me in the ass in good and bad ways in 07. I needed it.

Yeah, I think if one allows themselves to get that swift kick in the butt, it'll always be there for the taking. But for too long, I approached my studies with a closed-mind - never seeing the bigger picture.

Mine kicked my ass in a different way where I didn't go to class for a month and drank too much. So more accurately, Bloomington kicked my ass.

Ahhhh - now that will do it as well. IU, I take it?

by Pig Nash Mon Aug 09, 2010 1:24 am

1145

Yeah. The main problem is that I didn't (and still don't) know what I wanted to do for a living.

Same - some days I feel like I do...others, not so much. I know what my heart wants, I think. I hear IU has quite the reputation for being a party school?

It does, Playboy retired us from the best party schools as it was "unfair to compare professionals to amateurs" or something like that. It's there if you want to party, but it's a good school as well. I just didn't utilize that part in my experience there.

The great thing about school is that it will always be there if you decide to go back.

I have immense difficulty striking balance in my life. I have spent the last month glued to this computer doing work for others (on top of my own). I believe I need a career where the possibility to do endless amounts of work is almost out of the question - or else I'll find myself screwed.

You're overproductive? We have like opposite problems.

I become too wrapped up in something that I'm working on - to the point that it becomes a life and death cause. It takes away from everything else I want to experience.

I am not dedicated enough to get that into anything.

by **balloon** Mon Aug 09, 2010 2:13 am

1152

It is a curse. I'm not sure one can call it a dedication - it's more like an uncontrollable obsession.

Either way, if you could bottle some of it and give it to me, it'd probably help us both out.

Are you at work right now, Piglet? Do you work nights?

by Pig Nash Mon Aug 09, 2010 2:52 am

1155

I'm not, I'm at home, just up too late. I work during the day, two jobs. Kohls/Gift Shop at the zoo where my wife works.

Mad counting production tonight.

by Pig Nash Mon Aug 09, 2010 3:53 am

Although it's kind of futile, we'll never reach our goal.

Once we all find a permanent home, we'll be counting for the rest of our lives. We'll get there . . . patience.

Right TA? Did you hear me, buddy? Poor TA - he won't even count in this counting thread after what happened back at the dungeon.

TA is good people but Andrea's all upset it about things, which is upsetting.
