I Love College

Hello once again my friends!! I sincerely hope everyone enjoyed the end of a decade as well as the start of a new one. I for one, am off to a great start to the new year. I just started college after 13 years of being away. I did take some classes in the Navy, spent most of the year of 2005 in Surgical Technologist school and Otorhinolaryngology school, but it's still been a number of years, so... I am excited none-the-less :)
I am taking 18 credit hours this term to try to expedite my journey through the process so I can go on to be a nurse faster.
Despite what many preconceived notions some may have, nursing is an excellent career for MEN as well as women. I'm no Gaylord Focker, but hey... lol, I love to help people!! The problem with nursing right now is the average nurse age in the United States is almost 50 years old... OMG! There aren't enough schools to push through enough students for the future needs of the medical industry. There is also a growing age gap with the baby boomers all hitting retirement age now and in the near future. Many of the nurses already in the industry are the ones close to that retirement age, which, sadly, keeps getting pushed back.
Regardless of anyone else's nursing or other college ambitions, I want to finish my work at community college as fast as I can, so I can transfer over to Washington State University to get by BSN in nursing, and be a Cougar, as opposed to a Penguin that I am right now ;)
Well, as many of you may know, college seems a little more difficult than it was in the past. I just wish, in hindsight, that I would have been a little more motivated for the school work in the past. Hindsight being always 20/20. Despite the past, I have learned from my personal mistakes and do NOT plan to let anything stop me from achieving my goal of personal excellence :) That, and unlike last time (which school got in the way of my party schedule, lol) I am NOT procrastinating. Day 2 of school and I am doing my best to keep up with the already given reading and homework assignments. Today I finished almost early, at a laughable 420 p.m... no lie. So now I have time to blog or play video games or maybe watch a movie later.
I know it's gonna be a long road with a lot of hard work, but it IS worth the effort and I AM excited to be back in school. Good thing the VA is helping pay for me to go with Chapter 31 Vocational Rehab program.
I just need to keep my head in the game and study hard. 18 credit hours is a lot, but my schedule is pretty chill, giving me plenty of study time (as long as I use it properly). Fridays are gonna be my easiest days of the week with only 2 classes. I have 3 classes scheduled every other day of the week. So far, I think Math and my Science Fiction & Fantasy Writing class are gonna be my favorites, not that I am trying to exclude my English 101 or Intercultural Communications class at all.
And as I leave you all once again for further thought and enlightenment via your internet searches, here is a song by one of my new favorite rappers, Asher Roth, with his song "I Love College" (if you haven't heard it, just youtube it):

I'm nice right now, man
I-I feel good
If you have a drink
Would you please put it in the air?

That party last night was awfully crazy I wish we taped it
I danced my ass off and had this one girl completely naked
Drink my beer and smoke my weed but my good friends is all I need
Pass out at 3, wake up at 10, go out to eat then do it again
Man, I love college

I wanna go to college for the rest of my life
Sip Banker's Club and drink Miller Lite
On Thirsty Thursday and Tuesday Night Ice
And I can get pizza a dollar a slice

So fill up my cup, let's get fucked up
I'm next on the table, who want what?
I am champion at beer pong
Allen Iverson, Hakeem Olajuwon

Don't even bounce, not in my house
Better hope you make it otherwise you naked
Time isn't wasted when you're getting wasted
Woke up today and all I could say is

Um, that party last night was awfully crazy I wish we taped it
I danced my ass off and had this one girl completely naked
Drink my beer and smoke my weed but my good friends is all I need
Pass out at 3, wake up at 10, go out to eat then do it again

Man, I love college, ay!
And I love drinking, ay!
I love women, ay!
Man, I love college

I can't tell you what I learned from school but
I could tell you a story or two, um
Yeah, of course I learned some rules
Like don't pass out with your shoes on
(Get the Sharpie!)

And don't leave the house 'til the booze gone
(No, we're not leaving)
And don't have sex if she's too gone
When it comes to condoms put two on
(Trust me)
Then tomorrow night find a new jawn

Hold the beer bong, nothing wrong with some fun
(Here, hold this)
Even if we did get a little bit too drunk
Time isn't wasted when you're getting wasted
Woke up today and all I could say is

That party last night was awfully crazy I wish we taped it
(I wish we taped)
I danced my ass off and had this one girl completely naked
Drink my beer and smoke my weed but my good friends is all I need
Pass out at 3, wake up at 10, go out to eat then do it again

Man, I love college, ay!
I love drinking, ay!
I love women, ay!
I love college

Now if everybody would please
Put their drink as high as they can
As high as they can
(As high as they can)
And repeat after me

Chug! Chug! Chug! Chug!
Chug! Chug! Chug! Chug!
Freshmen! Freshmen!
Freshmen! Freshmen!

Do something' crazy! Do somethin' crazy!
Do something' crazy! Do somethin' crazy!
Keg stand! Keg stand!
Keg stand! Keg stand!

(That party last night)
Man, I love college
I love it!
(That party last night)
Alright everybody, I gotta head back to class for a little bit

That party last night was awfully crazy I wish we taped it
(I wish we taped)
(You know it's going down)
I danced my ass off and had this one girl completely naked
Drink my beer and smoke my weed but my good friends is all I need
(You're all invited, bring your friends)
Pass out at 3, wake up at 10, go out to eat then do it again
Man, I love college

Do I really have to graduate?
Or can I just stay here for the rest of my life?



Hmm... I might just stay in college the rest of my life. I love being around the learning vibe sooo much!!
I have always loved learning, maybe that makes me a nerd, but I'd rather be a smart geek than a DUMB ASS!! This has been the one and only Quiet Mouse.
Peace. Love. Thought. Respect.
