| My Summer Part II |
[July the 17th
] |
So it's been a few weeks since I last updated and a lot has happened since then. I got back from my vacation tp the Keys a week ago. That was a blast. It's ashame it's over cause now the rest of the summer is just going to drag out. Anyway, when I get some photos I will try and put them up here. I have a whole camera full of coral reef pictures. If you guys think its hot here now, spend a week down south. It's like this everyday with very high humidity. It was all in all a good trip. I would go back but not right away.
So once I got back I had a couple of days to practice driving. What better than to drive to New Brunswick. I went up with my sister and we hung out with Carol, Jen, Fawn and one of their co-workers. It was back to a regular work week for me and a few days off to get settle back at home. On Friday, though, I went to the MVC and gotten my driver's license. So now I am legal to drive. I spent the rest of the day cruising around. Saturday I went back to New Brunswick and spent the afternoon with my Carol. It was very nice, we had a picnic at the end of livingston campus. She leaves for Canada at the end of the week and I don't know when I will get to see her again.
So after a long drive on Saturday I got up really early on Sunday and went fishing with my brother cousin and Uncles out on the ocean. We had a blast and hauled in a ton a fish but nothing worth keeping. I got a little sun burnt and I'm still a little soar today. Today came around and some decided it would be fun to have 100 degree weather. It would be fine if I spent the day in my house, but I had to run errands and with the sunburn the heat was tough. By days end, though, I had my self a new car. I went out and got myself a 1994 Mazda Navajo. Again, I'll put pictures up when I get a chance. It's a stick so I have to learn how to use it before I can come visit anyone but I will learn soon enough.
That is all and thanks for sticking around if you made it this far.
P.S. - My brothers car got painted so check out his myspace. Look for him on mine.

My summer in a snap shot: Work, a fun weekend, and a short but wonderful visit with the woman I love... It's a sad view but simply true. So far work has been grueling for the most part. I am doing the warehouse stuff I did last summer a couple days a week. I am doing some inside stuff too. That, too, is mindnumbing but atleast its not phyiscal labor. There is a huge project that my dad and his marketing team are working on. I have been brought in in a minor role. It's nice and it's good experience. That's it for work. As for the rest of my summer it has been relatively quiet. Last weekend was by far the best time I had so far. I went up to Fawn and Jen's apartment to hang out on the first night and the second day was meant to celebrate some one very special's birthday. It was great to see Carol but it was too brief. I looked forward to seeing her for weeks and then I finally got to see her and have her in my arms. I don't know when I will get to see her again but whenever it is it is too long of a wait. Atleast we have the phone and I get to talk to her everynight. It's been a long couple of days so I am going to finish here.

The hum of pre-class chit-chat |

I'm going to update while I sit and wait for class to start. I went through a hell of a lot this weekend and yesterday. I was so overwhelmed and busy but I made it through and I am proud of myself for it. I had to go home this weekend which sucked butI promised my uncle I'd help him move and so I did. I also found out that I hate Verizon with a fiery passion. I had homework to get done and stuff for my RA internship to do. I got through it and all have to do is carry out the program that I set up. As for other things; I had a lecture today that had a guest speaker and I think maybe possibly I found my entry point into politics. Or at least I hope so, if I can get a hold of the speaker and talk to him about an internship and what not. I hope it works out and his talk today was very interesting on Campaign Finance which maybe quite boring to just about everyone but most people have no idea how much it effects us and the people we elect to run things. I am loving politics and government more and more and I am can't wait to get involved more. Well that is all. Class should start soon so I should pay attention.

Well I have decided to update because, quite frankly, I'm excited. I have been doing pretty well semester with studying and working hard. It's paid off so far. I got a perfect 100 on my first cognitive psych exam meaning I got the essay question 100% correct which I think is a first for me and I didn't miss a single multiple choice question. I don't normally brag about my grades but I don't normally do this well. In other news I, just got home. I have to help my uncle move tomorrow and on top of that I have a ton of other stuff to do. I am going to get to that stuff.

Ok. So it's 3:30 in the morning and I can't sleep. This is what I get for drinking one of those No Fear energy drinks at 10:30. But I wanted soda and the machine was sold out so I decided to try that cause I was drained and wanted to get work done. Well it left me really unfocused so I got nothing done but no I know if I need to pull an all nighter suck one of those down and wait awhile. So now I am left here updating cause I've been trying to go to sleep and well that's not working. I have to get up at a decent time tomorrow so that I can read for class. I have a lot of work already for my classes and my New Years Resolution is to work harder. Last semester I would have blown off all of my reading but I really want to put forth an effort and see the outcome. Without much of an effort I do pretty well so I want to try harder. Well I am goin to try and get to sleep now.

Ok, so I haven't updated in a long, LONG time but I've been sitting around all day and decided I should maybe include you LJ readers in my life. Winter Break is just about over and well its been a pretty good one. It started off right before Christmas and Christmas was awesome. My parents sent my sister and I to Phoenix Arizona for the Insight Bowl. It was an awesome trip even though we lost. I was painted all red and if you want to see me in my red glory check out Myspace, Facebook or come find me and check out the pictures. After that I had a few days rest and then came New Years Eve. That night was awesome too. There are pictures of that too. Carol came back from her cruise that day so it was the first time I got to talk to her in a week. Since then I have seen her twice and can't wait to go back to school so that I can see her a little more often :-D. So now my break is winding down. I guess thats a good thing I'd did enough to fill my days. I'm not that pleased with my efforts last semester and all that means now is that I need to work harder. I don't care about grades and GPAs as much as I care about the work and effort that I put forth and well quite frankly it was low last semester. That has to change and it will. I need to get a job this semester so that I don't have to stress about taking a class over the summer. I have a lot on my plate coming up and I'm sure everyone else does as well. That's it for this update I will try and get better at it but we'll see.

I haven't updated in a long time. I've been busy with classes and stuff. I've been doing a lot of thinking and I just read Jen's entry and lately I've been having the same questions. I used to write all of the time. Maybe it's that what I used to write about doesn't exist any more. I used to never be truely happy and that's what I would write about. And now I feel more whole... more happy. I just wish that my creativity would thrive off of all my emotions not just those of loneliness and unhappiness. But I have to ask myself which is better: being happy or being able to write and for now I am putting away the pen and paper.
I've had other things going through my head lately. I do most of my thinking while I am laying in bed and twice in the last week I couldn't fall asleep because I had so much going on in my head. I am still working them out so I am not going to list them here but I really hope that I come to some conclusions soon. I would be so much more at peace if I wasn't so confused. But for now I am happy and content.

Brand New :: Sudden Death in Carolina |
] |
So an update once in a while might be nice.... It's been 2 weeks since I've written in here. A lot has happened in these past 2 weeks. I've moved in a turned 19. There have been other people's birthdays too. School is ok. I don't really want to be here for class. I'd rather spend my time doing other things. But my parents aren't paying my tuition for me to do other things so I guess I have to go to class. Anyway, Carol and I are doing great. I get to see a lot of her now that we're both here. She still has to go home on the weekends but at least she's here during the week. Saturday we will be together for 1 month. That time flew by but I couldn't be happier. The whole housing change from last here has made for complicated get togethers. There is no central "coffee-house" like last year. The seperate campus thing is tough but everyone seems to find time to hang out whenever and whereever they can. I have to go now cause I have much more fun and important things to do like.............
Well math and latin homework is important but it's far from fun.

So I'm just about finished packing... I only have a few things left to get together. I am leaving at about 8 tomorrow and getting breakfast because not only is tomorrow Move-In day for me but it is also my birthday. I can't wait. I really wish this were all done because I have a lot of stuff that I don't feel like unloading and what not. I really wish it were Sunday but that's a wish that won't come true at least not for a couple of days. I am really looking forward to this semester for a lot of reasons. You can probably guess them so I won't list them. Well I guess I should make sure that I have everything that I need.
