I signed in with the intent of just spewing out political ramblings that have been bothering me as of late.
   But I think its time I update on my life.

I did not graduate from NAU this semester as I was slated to do.
  This is infact Tom's record of collegiate academics.
2001 - 2002: A wasted year at a community college. Never wanted to attend community college. Straight A's despite little effort on my part. Credits transfer to REAL college as gen. studies. all 56 or so of them.
2002 - 2003: NAU As I consider it, my freshman year of college. Excellent year, decent grades.
2003 - 2004: NAU Fall semester was great... Spring semester wore down on me as far as long distance relationship ( I literally left Flagstaff for Tucson thurs- tues every week).
2004 - 2005: UofA Miserable. Horrible learning environment. Good grades, non transferable back to NAU. Spring semester again was not so good as I became engaged and realized I would not be returning to UA.
2005 - 2006: NAU Again, fall semester good, spring semester bad. Spring semester spent finding myself, and not really happy with life at the time.
2006 - 2007: NAU Fall semester is decent. Spring semester bad. Spring semester spent in whirl wind of emotions, the hope of having normal hearing and the crushing of that dream really fucked me up mentally. My computer this past semester crashed 8 times, I repaired it 7 (during the semester, I have since fixed it 10 times out of 9 crashes). Due to financial situations, I also started classes four weeks late. A lot of things that to me, sound out of my control that resulted in the poor semester. Of course I am to blame for it in the long run.

Noted: 2006 -2007 was the Official fourth year of college. To me this makes sense, my fourth year at NAU, with hardly any transferable credits from the other two institutions. And the fact that I have two semesters left as I failed three Spring semesters here? It makes sense that I'm a fifth year senior. I understand all of that. But its very hard to give that justification in the real world. I did attend college for the past six years.
  I'm under pressure to abandon my goals of receiving my college degrees that I have honestly worked decently hard for. I do understand this being brought up. I really do. It makes sense if every semester is horrible. I would almost rationalize that I should attend college full time in the fall only, as Spring seems to be my down fall.
 And i'll be the first to admit my study skills have disappeared slowly. I'll be the first to admit that I've chosen social activity over class more than 50% of the time when presented with the two options. I'll be the first to admit that I have on occassion forgotten that I'm in college to attend school.
What I Will Not Admit: I will not admit that I should not return to school. I will not admit that I am a bad student. I will not admit that I am simply not suited to be a college graduate. I will not admit that I will not be able to graduate.
Obviously some changes need to take place, and I know just where to begin:
Study skills - I need to return to the school is my job mentality/ school as I grew up. School and homework is my job, 7am - 5pm. Clock in, clock out. Read ahead if I'm done.
Sleeping habits - this is a big one. I have fought a sleeping disorder for a very long time. I need to train my body (which I've been doing for the past three weeks) to wake up at 6:30a every day. weekends included. Regardless of sleep received, and eventually my body will fall into a pattern of sleeping around midnight to 2a everynight!
Social habits - since I'm treating school like a job, I wouldn't want to get fired for not showing up, now would I?

To me, this whole explanation of my college career is pretty simple. I have one year left to finish up a BS and at least one BA degree. I have a year left, for a multitude of reasons, I have a tendency to say "shit happened during the spring semesters, which influenced my performance". Yes, I crafted that so it doesn't blame those events and make excuses. I realize I, I, received those grades because of MY actions or lack there of.

I know that I will be successful in my last year run for commencement. I know that I will receive exemplary marks and will come out on top. I have been offered a pretty good offer to work for a company that is in its sophomoric year, and hope that I can shelve that offer for a year, which sounds highly probable.

I'm done with that discussion. Ask questions if you have them, look at me disgustingly for having been a bad student in previous years, or continue on reading to my political concerns. Maybe all three? I mean, if you have time.

Recently, I've become more aware of the liberally based correlation between Bush and Hitler. The relationship that is being forced here is disgusting and nothing more than mere rhetoric that will influence the mis informed.
While I would go into that debate, which this debate amongst bloggers is fluent and easily googled; I feel it does open the door into looking at our government and its republic government. 
Perhaps the reason the Bush = Hitler relationship is plausible in the minds of some, is the fact that Bush's name is used in the dictorship mannor akin to Hitler and his Regime. And is it entirely wrong to view the Namesake Bush as such? The power that the Executive branch has taken over, seems to be growing.
  I cannot wrap my head around the entire government of America mentality. The government is meant to be elected by us, and then an extension of our voices in debates that we may not be able to personally attend, and to vote based on the informed decisions of its constituents. Unless all of our (constituents) decisions are being swayed by corporate pay-offs, then our representative should not be either. Justices should be voted on by us directly. President and Cabinent members should be voted on by us. Every part about our government of the people, by the people, for the people should be held to that statement. By the people. For the people. The masses are not being represented. A four year term for president makes us wait for change, even if we all want it. Of course I understand on certain things that it may take four years to see results. How about after 22 months we take a National Vote of Confidence? If not, they finish out until month 24, as we have 2 months for a new election that takes effect immediately on the 24th month. The system of checks and balances is no longer functioning properly, otherwise I wouldn't be so heavily focused on the executive branch presently. 
  Actually, as I've been writing, I've been feeling less of a drive to write about politics, or at all really.
  I would say I will post a little more frequently, but I'll let it be a surprising event on the occasion that it happens again any time soon.
