In The Beginning

I'm not really sure who's going to read this, if anybody. I'm not really even sure why I'm writing it--I got tired of my other blogging site, I got tired of myspace posts, I got tired of a journal, I got tired of writing in a Microsoft document, and I got tired of my iMovie video journals. And I doubt I'll be as personal with this as I would with my video journals because this is open and the videos were private. 

But. If everything has an end, it might as well have a beginning. 

So, what's going on in my life right now? New job--at Pizza Ranch. Classy, I know. I'm still working at Abercrombie&Fitch (since I might cease to exist if I left), but to pick up some extra monies I've joined the pizza business. It's super easy, and they're willing to work around my A&F schedule, so I shouldn't complain.

I shouldn't complain about my new hair either, but I will--black with blue tint and dark brown are two very different colors, but Garnier seems to think that they're the same. I wanted dark brown. I'm never dying my hair myself again.

 

Today I have OFFICIALLY dropped my morning lass, Sociology of Religion. It sucked balls, hardcore, and the professor wrote on my first test (which was less than satisfactory, obviously): "Ian, you don't seem to understand ANY of the material we've been going over. Unless you plan on REALLY turning things around, you should drop." So I did. I mean seriously, he only teaches about Presbyterians, since he is one, and I grew up Presbyterian--which I guess should mean I should have done really well on the test, but I didn't.

So with my remaining four classes, I only have four more days until Spring Break. And what crazy things does this alcoholic have planned? ... I'm retreating to Knoxville for the week. I think of it as a time for self-reflection. We all know (or, at least those who are in close contact with me) that Ian hasn't necessarily made the BEST choices in life lately, so this is a chance for me to look back upon some of those choices, fix what needs to be fixed, move on from what can't be fixed or undone, and kind of start over when I return to Coe. Sorting out ones life is ALWAYS a good thing.

Let's make this a good weekend--self reflection starts next week. This weekend is about having fun.
