Well my friends, it is just another one of those days. You know, the times like when the rain is pelting the ground millions of times per second and the wind rages like a rabid wolf and all you want to do is go outside and sit in the sun? Well, that pretty much sums up my time right now, only that depiction of rain and sun was only an analogy for the depressing spirit that lingers inside of me. You see, tomorrow morning I have a dynamics midterm. If that isn't dire enough, I still have about twenty physics homework problems to do along with studying for four finals, working out for soccer tryouts on Sunday and of course, to top it all off, I get a call back interview for an internship this summer, which might sound exciting enough if it weren't for the fact that I am second guessing my major, ENGINEERING! Don't get me wrong, I plan to see it through, only I am completely lost as to what I am going to do when I actually graduate! I have two more years, but so far, all the jobs I have heard of people doing so far are completely and utterly uninteresting or seemingly boring. So what do you want to do, you might ask. Well, it isn't a question of what I WANT to do, but rather what I CAN do. I WANT to play soccer for a career, or be able to make movies of stories that I thought of or came up with, then ending my days with novel writing; however, those two things alone are, one step short of obviously(because anything is possible, right?), not going to happen. So what is left? Going back to my internship, if I were to get it, I would be collecting and inputting data, and possible moving onto project planning and scheduling. Sound fun? Actually, it does, but not for what the project would be about. Yes, it is important for all the utilities for buildings underground to go in, but in the end, what does that really matter? Now I know what you are thinking. How does soccer or filming matter? For soccer, yes it would be about me playing, but once I reached a point of retirement, I could better use soccer as a means of helping kids around the country with starvation and hunger. As far as filming goes, that one is easy. To put it simply, movies move people. They are a great way to inspire people to rise up and become the best they can be, to go to the next level, or face their responsibility instead of running from it. Anyway, I digress, it is now 11:55 and I need to get up at 6/6:30 to review a couple things for my midterm before I have to go and hopefully pass...
In Him,
Karl Schmidt
