It is days like these...
You would DIE to do Drum Corp again. I guess it is true when someone told me that this is why athletes can not remember everything they do, because if they did they would never want to do it again lol.
None the less, this summer has been alright; it got slightly better as the summer went on. It doesn’t help that Championships are coming in two days. As I said before, is it August 9th...
Hunh?!?!
What is up with the clouds in the sky? It was bad enough it is the middle of the summer, but you can’t also be icky like this outside. One or the other :P

Orientation!
So tomorrow starts orientation prep, and I have to say I am more excited than I thought I would be :) It should be a relatively straightforward day honestly. Just a bunch of presentations here and there, all that fun stuff.
Any lucky people coming to Davis next year, I will be seeing you at some point over the summer.
I am also kind of excited because I might get to go to the Caribbean this...
Some Days....
Are better than others. This is one of the BEST days I have had in a while.
Just thought I would point that out.
Here’s to new beginnings :)
Also, this quarter isn’t over yet? I would like to go see my friends graduate at SOME point :P
I am in a legend of Zelda mood
To anyone that knows what the heck I am about to say, I have been studying for the past hour with the song of healing from Manjora’s Mask in the background.
Oddly Soothing if you ask me :)
Graduation AGAIN...
“Nono, I distinctly remember that was LAST YEAR” (props for whoever can recognize where the quote is from)
Someone is kidding me right? Now that I look onto the high school seniors this year, has it really been TWO YEARS?!?! Man…I must be getting old or something ><
I am so proud of all my graduating friends’ accomplishments! At the same time, it kind of makes...
Waiting for this to happen...will be a good break... →
Week 10 Oh My!
Seriously! The quarter is almost over?!? What happened to the weeks. Better yet, what happened to the past YEAR? I mean come on, I know I am getting old, but not that old.
And to top it off, I am beginning to learn in life that while there are thousands of opportunities to do things, ESPECIALLY over the summer, you just have to know to let some things go. Honestly I know my summer will still...

MORE reflections
So I started off reading the “community book project” The Warmth of Other Suns with little hope for anything good. Another book highlighting the hardships felt from the Jim Crow south, etc…
It ended up being something more than I expected. The beginning all seemed like a huge buildup, but it grabbed me right at the end.
And in some ways, it ended up reminding me about my...
So it's Friday!
And I am SO ready for this Physics test. On top of that, most of my work is completed (yay!) and that is good because I don’t know how much of it will actually get DONE this weekend :D.
On top of that, I kind of got caught again in the web that is drum corp. I blame Willy though (damnit you just had to facebook chat me ><) and then I started watching videos, led to the thought...
You know what I dislike?
At the end of an evening, having so much to tell someone, yet you can’t tell them for one reason or another. I mean seriously. lol ><
Another Wonderful Week in Davis
So it’s what….like week 7 now.
Classes=fine. LOVING PHY9D so far. Is it hard? In some ways yes, but the material is sort of mind blowing.
Also, I haven’t said it enough, after signing up for classes next quarter I literally have 6 hours straight of class in the SAME lecture hall. How the heck does that happen? About as rare as the fact that I have NO FRIDAY CLASSES :D
...
Hmmm....
School seems to be going exceptional…so far. Everything falling into the correct place. SLOWLY but surely things are beginning to develop.
Of course, I think even more at hand is the growth I have been going through. Discovering things like who I am and who I want to be; overall I am learning more about myself. However after tonight a lot of things I thought are changing. What do you...

Fever of Sorts...
So FINALLY I get (some) of a weekend to actually relax and just chill before another hard week ahead. I do get to play some gigs though which is a nice way to break up the studying today.
Besides that though, I was looking on Facebook at all of the stuff people are doing. Man, it makes me look like I do absolutely nothing :P. Then I made the mistake of going to the Blue Devils facebook page....
Making the best of a situation
Well, picnic day is over. Maybe my life can gain back some normalcy now that I can focus more on school/work.
But of course, nature didn’t want it to be that easy. The minute I donate blood, all of the pollen acts up. To make it worse I don’t get much sleep, and then my sinuses just go CRAZY. Then to top it off Picnic Day was relatively hot and humid. Add it all up and about...
Wayyyyy too long
Hunh, I guess time really does fly when school comes back into session :D
So far classes are going swimmingly. I am not going to lie though, realizing that coming home at 6PM is your “early day” is kind of different, but I am willing to power through the work to reap the rewards.
I also feel like things are beginning to settle like fine sand in the water. I can say without a doubt...

Coming to a Close
Well, the week is almost up. Tomorrow is mainly a shopping day; need some food and a haircut, plus pick up my bike from the shop. My aunt is also coming over for dinner, so that will be super fun. Then it’s back up to Davis for one final round for the school year.
And, OF COURSE, I finally get word about a position as a learning assistant in a Physics D/L that I should have gotten months...
Spring Break!
After a very trying Winter Quarter, it is nice to know there is some mental downtime before the crazyness that usually is Spring Quarter begins! Not only am I taking one of the most trying Physics courses in the 9 series (modern physics), I am also trying to get some GE’s out of the way, AND improve the CHE2A curriculum through a directed study. All while marching picnic day (and hopefully...
Stardate....wait Wednesday?!?!?
So I have an 8AM final tomorrow….not very excited :P
On the contrary, ENG35 is in the books. Overall a very productive day as well. I love having finals week not really be a stress. Personally I view it as I put the hard work in all quarter, so this week is no harder. It’s how I learn, and I can’t say it doesn’t work because it really does.
Besides that, I read...
FINALS!!
So tomorrow is the big day, the day finals officially begin. On that note, I have one each day Monday through Friday, so that should go better than it has in the past.
Not going to MNR tonight; staying home to get some quality studying done before bed time.
Also had my first orientation leader meeting today. That should be an amazing job, and I am really excited to be one (unless I do get the...
Happy to see all the peoples finally getting their acceptance letters….acceptances to college that is :P. Especially Davis!
Makes me remember when I was getting mine. A lot of things raced through my head about college. Just wish now I could tell someone: it will get easier and it will make more sense eventually. New beginnings yes, but never lose sight of who you were and who you want...
Finals Looming
The stress of finals always seems to have its unique way of looming over me the week before they come. Yes, I realize in most of my classes I need B’s on the finals to get A’s in the class, but something about me says I still need to keep studying hard. Of course, with the way I learn I have a very different way of internalizing and remembering processes and data; one which requires...

I See the Light Tangled
Overall, the entirety of this week went really well. Did well on some midterms and finished my homework ahead of schedule. To make it even better I got to go out to dinner tonight with some fun pplz!!
The weekend might be a little bit more drab, but catching up on sleep is always fun on a weekend :D.
Of course, as with any week, it has its ups and downs. I feel like some things were amiss...
A weekend....
…to remember. Really glad I have someone now I can trust to get me home safely from Davis from time to time. Spent some time with the parents and KITTIES!!! Really is nice to come home from time to time to see them.
This weekend was mainly supposed to be a retreat back home, just to relax and get some studying done. I am not going to lie though, it turned out to be one of the best...

A Man Of Gold
I know a man with eyes of gold
Who never lets his truth be told.
A soul that wants and needs some time,
It used to be but one sublime.
Its inner secrets hid behind
A key that’s locked inside his mind,
And truth be told he wants it more
Then all of Arthur’s knights of yore.
A past that hurts but helps him find
The missing part that makes him blind.
The golden eyes now slipped away
With time the...
Growth
To be honest since the time of my last post here, I have been growing a lot. No, not physically (although we all wish it were true) but psychologically things have begun to change I feel. It seems to me a new outlook on life and the events surrounding it can cause this, and I realize now it can be hard to see the positives sometimes in life.
One thing I have rediscovered is a passion for...
The things I have begun to realize
First off, everything bad that happens comes in threes. Period.
Second, life can be downright confusing. You begin to see some things aren’t as linear as you would expect them to be. And in all honesty that is perfectly fine. At this point in time there is no way to easily explain what is going on. Does that mean it will always be that way? NO! But for now just accept the fact and...
