Time...

is the fire in which we burn. That is rapidly becoming my new motto, especially around here. The weeks are sneaking up on me and passing me by while I sit, dumbfounded, trying to figure out what just happened. School is starting to take its toll on me; I spend too much of my time in class and studying for class that I've scarcely had any time for myself. I'm convinced engineering here at SWOS was designed to break you mentally by pounding you with information, tests and oral boards until you submit--a mild form of brainwashing. I feel as though we are being subjected to this just to make our Captain (whom we lovingly refer to as Emperor Palpatine) happy. I guess his life is a miserable, despicable and disgusting journey, so he feels he has to pull the rest of us down with him. Just like a true SWO.

I've been absent of late because I just couldn't muster the time nor energy to log in and post. I don't know if that's a bad thing or a good thing, it's just a thing, I guess. I know that doesn't sound very elegant, but it's the best I can do right now--I'm still having trouble mustering the strength and energy to do much of anything other than school. Speaking of which, another test on Friday, then a comprehensive test on Monday, and then sometime during that week a final oral board with the emperor himself.

Anyway, this post has become negative, which wasn't the original reason I wanted to log on and post, so I'll cut it off here. I hope everyone is having a good time, and enjoying spring's beauty.
