Back to Basics -aka Fun With Parentheses

So for the 4th time I've tried to start a multifaceted blog to amuse the general populous and for the 4th time I've given up; my heart just isn't in it.

It feels so damn insincere to blog like that. So without further adieu, FML and here comes the personal experience blog of a lifetime; STKCBlog- like all the other ones out there- except this one's mine dammit!

(oh and to Preface the blog (actually a Preface of the Preface (because up there is the first Preface))) (and I can't believe I kept all those parentheses straight)
I will be blogging in Trebuchet font from now on. I don't know if that matters, but it took me a whole 10 minutes to come to that decision so I thought I should share it.

Anyways, I'm actually back to classes today (for those of you playing the home game (and/or those of you who kept/keep track (or at least take the time to read previous posts)) I am a college student in Chicago pursuing a Bachelors degree in Digital Cinema (yes I know that's probably funny to you but I have been quite successful (and not just in stupid in class "film" projects))(and man I can't believe I've kept up with all these parentheses so far)).

I still work 5 days a week, but on a shorter schedule for the midweek, bookending my Work/School week with two 8 hour classless work days (which are actually quite enjoyable (yes I know you might not think the workweek is enjoyable (it's not called "The Daily Grind" for nothing) but I think only having to go to work for 8 hours and not go to night class after is quite a relief (and not having to take work home with me helps as well))).

I will be graduating in June, so this next 11 weeks will be my last in ANY School EVER! I can't wait to be done and have no intention of ever going back for grad school. I will just bust my ass and work my way up. 16 years of school is enough. I feel like my life hasn't even started yet, but I'm going to kick it in the ass in a few months: I'm Graduating from College and I'm getting Married the next month (yes, I know; 22 years old and getting married already. Heard it all before so shut it, lol).

This period in my life right now feels like Purgatory; I've made it out of the Hell that is Primary and Secondary education and almost completed College as I'm cruising towards graduation with support from family, friends and faculty, but I'm not to the Heaven that is a normal job, no homework, and increased financial wealth (because going from part-time to full-time will at least double my income (unFML)). But I think with only 11 weeks to go, the speed at which I live, and all the crap I have to do will keep me chugging along with only a few moments like this to reflect (or preflect (reflect on the future (it's probably not a word, but I'm starting a movement dammit!))) on what has and what is to come.

Soon enough I'll be out DePaul's doors and (to the delight of millions of nerds who will get this joke (the rest of you who don't just Google it)) saying "Hello World!"
