Maelos’s Maelstrom

So it is nice and calm now, I made it through another day! Well I suppose there are still a few important bumps to get over, but I already feel the week slowing down. Mondays are always my craziest days, I have the busiest schedule and each errand keeps getting listed on the growing to-do list.

Anyways, what is there to talk about? I guess I can give a few quick links to http://pandora.com for its computer science genius. Yes, the site is about music, but the background program is a nice little algorithm that compares music and creates similar play lists for your listening pleasure.

Peace.

I suppose I have the time, once again, to reflect on where I am and where I would like to be. I am currently in the labyrinth known as college and I wish I could be outside with a steady job, a happy life, and a little bit of luxury - all earned of course. I am still settling at the new college down here in VA. I originally went to a college up in NY for computer science. I had long had a dream of working in a computer field, which I would still like to hold onto a few aspects, but I feel that the path was no longer for me. I look back at the paths I left behind, the experiences I tossed out the window, and the potential the school might have unlocked in me. But alas, no need to worry. I am here at my new college with the intent to get a degree, yep, a degree. I don’t know when, I don’t know how, and I don’t know in what, but hopefully at some point. I can say that I have experienced a pretty diverse set of fields - from athletic, technical, personal, and medical - and know a few of my interests.

I really just like to help people. It sounds simple, and hopefully it will stay this way, but I find it hard to apply. Whenever I try a new field there is always a snag. I am currently a pre-med student looking to continue my interests in emergency medicine, but I feel that I am not getting a real medical experience. One of my teachers, before I withdrew from her class, said that I was “too serious” about my studies. I try not to be, but when I get focused on an objective I am out to get it and sometimes my personal ambitions may be too strong for those with a lighter hold. Anyway, a lot of my major seems to be directed toward those that do not want to be doctors…which I find to be odd. I am in a health sciences major of sorts. I chose this intentionally so that I could get a glimpse of other health fields and so far my tongue has been rather dissatisfied.

Ok, well enough of those rambles for now. I apologize if my writing is too directly a reflection of my thoughts -rather jumpy and disorganized- but hopefully it will improve. Perhaps I will try another post with the use of bullets. I love to be organized too.
