If it were real, I'd be rich

I had a real crummy day today.  I woke up this morning not wanting to do anything at all.  I pretty much got up and did the routine of everything I do on a Tuesday.  Wake up, lift weights, go to class, jumping practice, class and homework.  Only thing I changed was go to class the second time.  It was to the point during jumping practice that I wanted to cry over the mundane routine.  I don't want to be in a rut!  Anyway I ended up going to my advisor meeting to find out I'M NOT GRADUATING SPRING 2008!  You know what...I always thought I was going to graduate in four years but now I don't care.  I will be done with all my classes for my major and minor but this school says there is a minimum of 120 credit hours you must earn in order to graduate.  That's BS really.  I will end up having 107 credit hours done by spring 2008.  Not sufficient to walk during the commencement.  It doesn't really mean too much for me to walk but of course it means a lot to my dad. 

"I tried dad, I really did to figure if I could walk even though I won't get the degree.  But my advisor said that it won't be possible."

Anyway, I'm not totally upset.  I like my school and the area and maybe I could do a whole new year being part time.  I don't want to grow up just as yet and school puts my full adult life on hold.  I like school and being apart of the school community.  After school is done its harder to keep up with the school activities because your always working.  BOOORINNNG!

Speaking of school activities/events the event tonight made my day ultimately happy again.  Other than going to the school newspaper to edit crappy articles our new writers had written, the staff and I went to our Student Activities Center (aka the SAC lol) for free food.  The event was Casino Night with MOCKTAILS (fake cocktails) lol.  I really only wanted the free food and was going to resist the pretend gambling but after I ate some almost burt wings lol I was tempted to try the Roulette Table.

I hadn't realize how gambling can be addictive till tonight.  I started playing just a little  bit.  We got play money of $50,000 which I really wish I had but anyway I ended up playing for about 20 minutes and ended with $350,000!  So I told myself if I ever really do gamble this is MY game to play.  I wish it were real because in all honesty I won a lot of money and I really didn't know how I was doing it.  Of course gambling is all about luck but still I was having some good luck tonight.

So I wouldn't mind spending another year here even if I'd be a part time student.  I can take BS classes and boost up my GPA and graduate with honors.  Or I can still take some semi-hard, challenging courses that I can get good grades in and also learn something for real and still graduate with a higher learning aspect of things lol. Either way I will be graduating no matter what.  I'm not a college dropout (aka Kanye lol) and I've learned so much during my college years.  Another year wouldn't hurt. :-)
