Best of All Time

Everybody knows or at least heard about the wonderful incident between Kanye West and Taylor Swift during the MTV Music Awards in 2009. As big of a jerk move that was on Kanye's part, a side of me thought the way he did it was absolutely hilarious. By saying that Beyonce's video was the "best of all time," Kanye gained about 50 million haters; and Taylor gained 100 million fans. To be honest, I was on Taylor Swifts side naturally, but almost two years later, does it even matter anymore? Is anyone still affected by the whole thing? I sure as heck am not. But all of it is irrelevant to the rest of my post. Haha.

In the midst of four papers due in a span of two weeks, I'm currently working on the big mama - the theology term paper. I'm doing my paper on eschatology, and it's been a lot harder than I thought it'd be. Eschatology is the study of end times, or the second coming of Jesus. It sounds so cool right? But I've been having a hard time doing it. When I did my term paper for the first term - on sin - it was a lot of work, but I knew what I was doing the whole time, and that paper saved my butt from getting a bad mark in the course. This time around, the paper is due this coming Thursday, and I have only gone through a couple sources. Dang, son. I honestly don't know how I'm going to be able to finish this to the quality I want it, on top of doing all my other papers too.

It's gonna be tough, but I definitely need to get out of the mindset of "just getting through." I've learned that with that kind of attitude, I'll be accustomed to mediocrity all my life; and mediocrity isn't exactly what we want now is it? Reality speaking, I don't think my papers will be as good as I want them. Thankfully I'm at a A- or B+ in the course right now, so I have a bit of room to use should I need it. Needless to say, though, I don't think these papers that I do will be anywhere near "best of all time" quality. *Sigh*...

Anyways! I bought the new Pokemon game with a gift card I got for my birthday, and I'm back to being the Pokemon master that I once was! So exciting! It's also incredibly dumb how just when the peak of school work hits, there's so many other extra-curricular activities going on that make me want to participate. But I can't. Oh well, I'll suck it up.

Probably need to start looking for a job soon. Year one is almost over - best of all time? In contention!
