What it Is

I have proven myself a failure at being consistent. Methinks this should be a place for me. Maybe not the collected me that makes sense. More like the me that likes to be. To wonder, to plan, to think, to understand. I want to write everyday. It is my hope that this is the blog that will facilitate that goal.

I dont make any promises. You could still call this my creative blog. But I'd like to think of it more as the debris that is left behind after all the normal thoughts blow through my consciousness.

Don't expect it to always make sense or be worth your time. I think the main goal if for it to be my sanity.

Entry Twelve

I got sort of bored in my STAT class. So this is what I did. A little creative writing for each of the classes I had that day. Not that good, I know. But sometimes you just gotta write to get better.

STAT
(for natural resource majors)
Sticky monotony. Sucking at our shoes as we trudge along this path. It is requirement. It is death. Of the mind. To the mind. To the parts which breathe. Stifling. A feather pillow in the form of tedious knowledge. Press down hard and smell the numbers. They are stale and we choke them down. Copy words like good little children. Lines and lines of what we know. Whats been force fed to us since our minds were new.

LAW
(rural and agricultural)
See the train. See it go. Go train go! Watch it speed on. This way and that. Derail train. Derail if you must. Go every which way so that time goes by in tedious nothingness. We will try to follow.
See Dr. Matthews. See him go. Go good Dr. go! Speed Speed on. This way and that. Dr. Matthews the train. Knows not where he goes. Though his derails are laughable, time goes on and learning is limited.

Genetics
(introduction to and evolution in conservation)
"Yellow-breasted rump-footed ferret" discovered!
A new breed of rodentia in the ferret family has been found, though "invented" may prove to be a better word for the matter. January 30th, 2008 Dr. (name omitted to save the man any humiliation) was teaching his IGEC (Intro. to Genetics and Evolution in Conservation) class at UMC when, as is his nature, he spouted out the species common name "Yellow-breasted rump-footed ferret". At first, all the students laughed at the absurd name. This kind of silly behavior was common in the classroom. Further investigation reveals that this "nutty professor" accidentally divulged the name of a new species that has yet to be released to the public. Dr. *********** is a member of a small group of scientists who claim that they discovered this new species. Specialists in the ferret family are unsure about the validity of the claim. They say the so called "yellow-breasted rump-footed ferret" closely resembles the common white ferret with yellow spray paint down it's front. No comment has been made by Dr. ********** or his colleagues about this claim and further investigation is needed before this animal is released to the public as a new species.

Okay, you're weird. In my classes, when I wasn't asleep, I was either dodling, taking notes, or reading other stuff. But that's a fun idea and now I wish I had classes to write about.

If I was in Dr. Frisby's (advertising professor) class again, though, I'd probably come up with too many ways of watching her suffer endless torture- I hated her class.
