"Joy is the goal of existence, and joy is not to be stumbled upon, but to be achieved, and the act of treason is to let its vision drown in the swamp of the moment's torture." -Ayn Rand
I'm a big Ayn Rand fan and quotes like this one are one reason. I really agree with her life philosophy of living for yourself and earning everything you get in life instead of complaining and asking for handouts. I can't really think of any subject in life where going about it with another worldview, philosophy, or strategy will turn out better. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe no one cares. Maybe no one is even going to read this...
I am currently a student at Texas Tech University in Lubbock. I am going for a double major in Architecture and Civil Engineering. It's always wierd when people ask me where I'm from because I've lived all over Texas. I took a trip to Europe (England, Ireland, Italy, Greece, & Spain) for a month after graduating high school. I was a bum for one semester and then attended New Mexico State University for another semester. After that, I transfered to Texas Tech where I currently study.
