I want to quit Fisher Ink. Maybe I really don't. Maybe I'm just in one of my sleep deprivation-inspired states of destruction. Those happen way too often.

My grades have been pretty good considering it's still the beginning of the school year. Kind of. I got the high scores on midterms in two of my communication classes—100 percent on both. I bombed the midterm in my advertising and society class. I didn't study, and I really should have. Obviously. We don't get our scores back till Wednesday, but I failed. And by failed, I mean I probably got a C. Which is failing to me.

That was a long paragraph. Or maybe it wasn't. Is it weird that this was my first thought when I went to go start on this paragraph? I think I've been around too many style books. I think I'm too obsessed with style and writing and typography to read into its content. It's all about look to me. I care more about typeface choice than I do about the writing itself. I think I need to get this blog back on some kind of track.

I haven't run in a while. It's too cold outside and I'm afraid of treadmills. The last time I ran on one was a few weeks ago at the RPAC. It wasn't disasterous at all. I actually ran over eight miles—a full hour. But I wanted to die when I got off. And I was sweating buckets. It was disgusting. And you know that feeling when you try to walk when you first get off the treadmill? Like you're moving at ten times the speed you're actually going. I can't even imagine how I look to the people around me as I try to slow myself down as a form of cognitive balance. The world just doesn't make sense when I use treadmills; therefore, I avoid them.

I scheduled for next quarter. I'm taking communication 628 (Contemporary Persuasion Theory), communication 463 (Communication Research...or something along those lines—it's required), classics H222 (Greek Mythology)—gotta get working on those GECs—and economics 515 (History of Economic Development over some specific time period that I'm not sure of). So there it is. Plus I'll be working more hours at Oxley's. I'm beginning to really like working there. The people are cool, the hours are nice and a lot of the time I'm either having a good time or am going insane from being on register too long.

Onto majors—I've decided on them. I'm going to major in strategic communication and economics and minor in professional writing. I planned it out and, if I take four course each quarter, I can graduate on time and still be able to do two or there internships. And I'm definitely going to need internships as a communication major. And as a "professional writer." How fancy is that?
