You bastard!
:brokenheart:
I'm not. And anything that I am or am not, is most certainly not unique. I'm far from special, aside from the fact that I'm badass and most wish they could be as logically gifted. Of course, they will never be until they wake up.

Oh, and I both hate and love college.
I do enjoy the life, but currently hate how I have to live college. Too much balancing. I have to do school, but on top of school, I have to do all this leadership. And we are graded on this ability at this point in school (Junior), and those grades can make or break career in the Army, and even nullify the idea of being in the Army if screwing up enough.
But see... I have to have that stress, and still worry about classes. And the grades I get in those classes have even MORE of an impact on my career. God dammit I hate stress. It makes me not me. If I had ONE thing to worry about - school, or career - I easily could see myself excelling. But have to juggle all this shit? It's not my strong suit. Not the style of their testing. Too much memorization and perfecting the ability to write down memorized lists and other bullshit never to be used. Practical knowledge is where I excel. How to actually do something, with physical memorization of how to go about doing that through practice/experience. And then having to teach somebody that same thing. I can do that, I do that a lot, and I do it well. Test me with a written exam, or even multiple choice. I won't do nearly as well on it as I could.
Oh, and give me free reign over myself while doing all this juggling? Yeah, I'm going to fuck up. And do it a lot.
And I get chewed out for fucking up. Oh life is just peachy.
Damn you alcohol. You make me type a lot. Yet somehow intelligibly.
