I was "commenced" the other day, but I still have one class to finish up. I am in the process (meaning that I am studying for the GMAT) of getting into business school and joining the Mercer Army ROTC (meaning that I am working on my sit-ups like mad) so that I can stay here and not have to grow up for two more years.
Part of me really wants to move along, get in the Marines, and kick some insurgent ass! But the other part of me looks at this rationally and says, "When is the next time the US government is going to pay to send you to school, largely un-interrupted by military duties and deployments??? It's a once in a lifetime, Cox--man up."
Army or Marines??? I don't know. It is just hard. Both options are good. Neither are exactly (whine) what I want, but then again...
Okay. Here's the plan: Work. Save. PT. Fill out FAFSA. PT. Study for GMAT. PT. Take GMAT. PT. Finish applications. PT. Cross fingers. PT. Work. Save. PT. Maybe (GASP!) take out loans. PT, a little bit more. At no point is thinking--especially late night musing--authorized except where the instructions have clearly detailed for it. PT is prescribed for any time when thinking is considered an option. Might want to talk to the girl that is going to be my girlfriend this fall somewhere in between this and make time to meet up and hang out with her some... So, whatever happens, freakin' happens--I'll just use my magical "force of personality" and "determination" to make things happen. Great. I actually have to concentrate on something for longer than a day and half... Super. No more thinking, Lucky! |

"Our unit is pretty much an autonomous part of GMC. Although we make up only about 15% of their strength, we take home about 80% of their awards."
Awesome. I think this guy likes me, even though I have been a bit of a fuck-up lately. Oh well, forward! |

Calling all nerdy people, calling all nerdy people!
Are you all assembled? Good. Quiet down, now. Polish your glasses and hang on to your pocket protectors, because here it comes:
The Zoroastrians (didn't make it all the way to the Z's, eh? Aw, well, not everyone can be a nerd par excellence) built some of their most important temples in Azerbijan (didn't make it all the way through the A's, huh? Well, there's always business school...). Why, you might ask? Well... They built their fire temples on top of fissures and vents of natural gas. ISN'T THAT INCREDIBLY COOL? Now, wouldn't that be a wonderful thing to go see???
And yes, Mike, Azerbijan was conquered by the Mongols. : )
Yeah, well, I guess I have to tick off everyone with my sign off as I dismiss you:
"May the Force be with you in order that you may live long and prosper." |

This is a quote from Sara [my buddy's girlfriend with whom I spend a lot of time (no, it's not like that)]. Anyway, I usually hang out with Sara over at their house or we go out with David (my buddy). But we never really go to my stomping grounds or hang out on campus (except in class)... Today, at the UC, I got this from her:
"I'm NOT feeling sorry for you anymore. You're just a gigantic pimp!"
Aw c'mon Sara, that's not true! But talking to girls is the number one reason why I am always late to everything... : )
Okay, well, it is shower time and then off to the 'Cup! Should I spend the morning reading some Moliere? Perhaps, I should. Or perhaps I should go over and invade Barnes & Noble in order to see how much their starter courses in Arabic are--infantry or intelligence officer, I will need to learn that fascinating language with its unique *cough*PERSIAN RIP-OFF*cough* script. Farsi might be nice to know as well, but if the military wants me to know that, I imagine they will teach me.
I am so looking forward to finally having a purpose in life, again. These last six years have been quite rough on me--I have not quite known what to do or how to go about it. But I am recovering focus and I know that the military will be good for me. And I for it. And then I can get out, get my MBA and law degree and go to work becoming a productive, tax-paying citizen.
And maybe get married somewhere along the way... But probably not. Damn shame, too. I could be a good father... |

Hmmmm... It would appear that I have disappeared. Ha ha...
Yeah, well, what can I say? I was trimming the fat on my blogs. And then I remembered how bored I sometimes get. And how religious people stalk me (just kidding) on the other page. Sad...
So, if I want to let loose, this is my site. |
