So I'm sitting in my physics class (I know I said I was gonna pay attention) and I just started thinking about how I feel about my own intellect.
I have always thought of my self as a smart person, and all through high school I was a pretty good student. Yet ever since I've been in college I have felt like I'm getting dumber. I mean I have really expanded my knowledge when it comes to music, and as a person I have started to learn more about my self. But when it comes to general intellegence I have started to fade. School is no longer a challenge, and I haven't really had to explore my own intellegence at all this semester. I guess I should be happy. This should mean that I'll have an easy semester, and I'll get some good grades. But i just kinda feel let down. I went to college expecting to be challenged, expecting to come into my own as a student. I just feel like my school has really let me down. But i guess I have really let myself down.
I was the one that put my schedule together, i was the one that decided to take these easy classes. I need to trust my self and be confident in my intellegence. I guess I need to take some initiative....I guess I need to learn to take some initiative in every aspect of my life. I can't just live my life expecting things to happen to me, and for the knowledge to just come to me. I neeed to learn to go out and get it. Grab life by the tail huh?
