The sum of all current feelings.

Another semester winds down as I submit my final projects and prepare for final exams. This semester proved to be more demanding than the last one, but I have done a good job staying on top of my studies. I have assembled my schedule for next semester, which will consist of 3 online classes and one regular class. Online classes are okay, but I honestly prefer a classroom environment for certain studies because I feel the information is better absorbed with a professor not only giving a lecture, but also assisting with hands on demonstrations. Reading random web pages from a "virtual textbook" in an online class can prove difficult if it's a subject you're learning for the first time, especially with things like coding. It can be done though, it just requires a lot more time and effort, and it's rewarding if you can master it.

I was going to take summer classes, but the program I'm enrolled in doesn't offer much in the way of summer classes, so the summer will give more time to attack my reading list, make more money, increase the intensity of my exercise regiment, and attack some creating endeavors that have been left on the back-burner.

Things have certainly taken a turn for the better in the passing months, no doubt about it. I have met a lot of new people, I have gotten out of the funk I was in for so long, I have gone to parties, made new friends, I have met new women which I never thought would happen, and I have finally realized that not all is bad in the world. I haven't met the right one yet apparently, and I have had to actually let people go who I knew weren't right for me which is something I never thought I would be able to do only a short time ago, being how co-dependent and needy a person I was. I am proud of who I have become in such a short time, and I know good things lie ahead.
