I should be. After all, I'm not living in the streets, I have broadband, I'm graduating... etc... ;)
I'm not really into careers. I think I just want a nice and stable job. I want to live a quiet and no-stress life :)

How bout you?

Dating/love life could be better. I keep telling myself, next quarter, I'll try to meet more people. But every damn quarter, classes, projects and hw end up pulling me back down.

My damn classes and school work are straight sucking the life out of me. Start of each quarter is hell, figuring out what classes to add and buying all the crap you need. And by the time the quarter is in full swing, I'm consistently too damn tired and worn out to take the initiative to meet/get involved with people.

Can't meet them in my class because I'm a goddamn engineer and there are no girls in my classes. Don't have time to f*ck around outside of class. So sucks to be me. Doesn't help that I'm *really* picky. Some of my female friends have told me that I have unrealistic expectations. I don't think so, but I'm hardly an objective judge of that.

I guess everything else is ok, have more gadgets and toys than I can really play with. I should sell off all this junk instead of letting it sit around and collect dust. I keep buying crap I don't need, playing with it for a couple days and then get bored with it and toss it in a corner.





Next quarter. Next quarter, I will meet more people. . . :D

Fairly content. I'm enjoying school, I'm enjoying teaching my students, I'm enjoying almost everything. Except for my love life. I'm feeling utterly lost in that respect. The thing that bugs me most is that all of the girls I've gone out with have caught me up in their "transitional phase", aka rebound. They just never told me until it was too late. Oh well, I guess the perfect gal is waiting out there somewhere...

aren't quiet and no-stress life and 6 figures mutually exclusive ?


I was going to point that out too :D

It is real pleasure for me to read it all :) There is not such thing as stable, quite and no-stress life in our world, it is like stable, quite and no-stress death :)

i don't think so... well maybe quiet and no stress mean different things for me. i want to work for some sort of state institution as a consultant (computer stuff). sure the pay is not as good as other places, but you can still get 6 figures, and talk about job security.....

I should be content but I'm not. I'm too restless. I am married for 11 years, have two beautiful healthy children, a decent, well paying job. I own my own home, have a newer car. My PC is kindof outdated and am planning to upgrade soon, but I guess it all boils down to not having enough $$$ to provide me with the toys I want. I read novels like a freak and waste too much time on the Internet. (Mostly ATOT!) There seems always to be too much to be done in too little time. Arrrrghhh. :disgust: :confused:

Very happy with my life. Lots of things to do and learn. No matter how bad things get they could always be 10 times worse.
I'm just happy to have a job and be alive. More money is always good, but I have just tailored my hobbies to cheaper alternatives.
Since I like computers, I have started learning to use free software from sourceforge and the like. This keeps me content and I stay
away from buying new hardware as much.

So to answer the question, I'm always content, no matter how crappy things get. I could always be homeless and hungry???

Try collegeclub.com :) My bf and I are a result of that.

And two of my friends met girls gaming online, one in CS, and another in Diablo 2. Seriously.

But yeah, it's hard to meet people.

And I'm trying to be content...I have a good love life, I'm intelligent and making my way through engineering, and I'm not eating ramen every day. I don't have enough money as a college student NOT to worry (unlike the majority of UCF, it seems), and I have my scholarships hanging over my head. I have a car, I have VERY good parents, a very loving grandmother and aunt, and yes, broadband.

I just have to forget about the not having enough money. Hopefully that'll be fixed in the future :)
