I had a pretty hard test today in VLSI and Advanced Digital Design, which ended at 6. I came home to relax. I wound up having three really different but difficult conversations online, at the same time. It taxed me, and even though it’s late I needed someone else to talk to.
I found a friend on Facebook chat who I used to play music with, but who got wise and left Tech after a year even though he was on a football scholarship. Like magick, he had this to say:
Preston
kind of random here, but are you happy you left tech
2:11amMyFriend
definitely
im not psyched about having left school
but tech was not for me at all
2:12amPreston
so even the negativity of leaving school was outweighed by the positivity of leaving Tech
2:12amMyFriend
not the way i was experiencing it anyways
outweighed idk
it was a tradeoff
i mean the last 3 years havent been a walk in the park
but at least im able to be what i want
2:13amPreston
true that man
2:13amMyFriend
why do u ask?
2:13amPreston
looking back on all of this I’m just so tired, I feel like there’s a lot of life I’ve wasted
2:14amMyFriend
ya i mean everybody has there regrets
hindsight is 2020
2:14amPreston
at the same time though it has shaped me and will enable me to do a bunch of good stuff
but, this is my youth
2:15amMyFriend
ya i hear u
i mean are you 23 at this point?
2:15amPreston
will be in Feb
2:15amMyFriend
ya idk
dont stress about youth
were still young
2:16amPreston
I needed to hear that
2:16amMyFriend
i kind of get that way sometimes but it seems to me that it just sort of perpetuates it
stressing about not taking advantage of whatever though
you just miss the next thing if you do that
And there is my night.
