Sikotic™:
I am gonna take charge of this utterly pointless thread, and bring some sort of meaning to it.

Honestly, what's missing in my life is probably a feeling of self-importance. What I mean is, I have all of these goals I want to accomplish, but the process it take to accomplish these goals takes forever. I feel like I'm just sitting on my ass in a classroom learning shit that will never apply to my goals in life.

So I guess I'm missing patience in my life as well.

Anyways, I tried to save this thread. If all else fails, "free post".

Australian Bastard:
Word. Wasting the youth away in textbooks.

I know what you mean... but there's a different way to look at this (as with everything else), and it would probably be more fulfilling to look at it this way.
An education in itself is very valuable in my opinion, regardless of whether you ever use all that information (in my case, economic theories) to achieve your goals or not... the four years that you're spending at the school is giving you the backbone for what you want to do in the future... some of the information you're going to apply... I think it also serves to train you to think a certain way. Also, I love gaining knowledge.... and anyone that's out there gaining knowledge is doing something positive for themselves, and maybe even for others, since more knowledge means less ignorance. And I think you said you're planning on becoming a doctor... so there's no reason why you should feel any lack of self-importance when you're doing what is necessary to reach that goal... certain things in life are just a series of stepping stones... a career path and the education leading up to it is certainly one of those things. So I guess in the end it really is (or should be) just a matter of you being impatient... but that goes for many of us. I'm very impatient... but it seems like it's only for things in the short-term (I get pissed off sitting in traffic, if I'm picking my girlfriend up and she's not ready by the time she said she would be, etc)... for long-term goals I've learned to accept that it's all about completing one thing to start another in order to eventually reach my goal.

Sikotic™:
That's a good perception to have. You're completely right, I guess I'm just a pessimistic person. Either way, I have to go through this shit so being impatient with something long-term isn;t going to do me any favors.
