week one or weak one?... you decide

so i managed to survive the first week of the spring semester! i go to school from 7:30 in the morning until 6 in the evening on tuesdays and thursdays, and have four classes lasting the length of the day. cultural geography, western civilizations to the 17th century, art foundations 108 - 3D art with studio time right after lecture, and my favorite class of all, controversial issues in canada! i have already written three papers since tuesday, and have at least 4-5 hours of homework a night and art projects galore to complete every other day. i am a bit overwhelmed as of right now s i think about how i will survive the entire semester doing this. i do have some mediocre news to share with everyone as well. i am about to start my training regime for fighting at the end of this next week. however the negative aspect of this is that i was informed by several of my cognitive therapists and doctors that i should never fight in the cage or partake in sparring at the gym. i was told that if i sustain another severe blow to the head similar to the one i took when i was hit by the car almost six months ago now that i could become worse of than i already am in regards to my memory and physical ailments. this news has brought some depression on as i have no way to challenge myself the way that cage fighting did. i will now have to strictly train for enjoyment and to stay in immaculate physical shape for the ladies that aren't in my life. yes you read that correctly. so this is my current status in week one as the weak one. i am looking forward to going to see The Ghost Inside and Fallen Dreams on wednesday @ The Venue. this will be my first official hard core concert! hopefully i will make it out alive with punching someone in the face. closing in the words of Paramore, "that's what you get when you let your heart out heart..."

what to do with a day off?

so today i woke up from a night of restful sleep, thanks to my sleep aid! i met up with my brother and sister in-law and drove up into the wilderness to look for animals to shoot, and also take some pictures of as well. i must say that i really enjoy the outdoors and nature. here are some photos i took of the many deer we saw.






i am ready for hunting season to be back so i can shoot one of those deer and eat it for dinner! a bike ride in town also took place and i am hoping that tomorrow will be enjoyable as i head back to university studies. when you have a day off don't waste it on your couch, get outside and do something enjoyable! don't hate me cause you ain't me!

when life sucks...

so i have been back in boise for two weeks now and immediately when i got back i found out i had to work. how did o found out i had to work you wonder? with a wake up call telling me i was supposed to be at work instead of in bed sleeping. i have worked just shy of 80 hours and now i will be back in school on tuesday. sadly so many of us, me included wish that life could be a constant vacation. however my memory of the trip is a bit hazy do to the fact that my short-term memory is not the best. my trip to california at the end of 2009 was much needed and much to short. sunny days and warm weather was so nice to have. now life sucks yet again here in the "208", though i am looking forward to starting my second semester of college, i dread living in boise, idaho. i am glad to inform that i have purchased a new bike for commuting around town and to school! as i wait for sleep and listen to Anberlin while writing this post i ponder upon my purpose in life and whether i will ever succeed at the things i set out to do. i have been extremely sad lately, anticipating something bad to happen and also that i am on my way to another emotional breakdown, which may have some extremely negative outcomes. i am trying to fight this feeling but it has been an everyday struggle for quite some time now. will i ever be happy, with myself, with life? will i ever be normal? what is normal anyways? it is such a relative term that i believe can no longer be defined. there is only abnormal. as i feel my "sleeping aid" kick in i should probably try to let it take its effect on me but i will fight it so that i may rest longer through the night. in the famous words of Anberlin, "you only stand to break my heart, i can tell it by the way you run away." when life sucks, listen to Anberlin!

San Diego livin'

so i am once agian in the airport waiting for my flight home to dreary dreaded Boise, Idaho. i will miss this excellent weather, the delicious In And Out burgers i ate all week long, as well as my extended family members i got to visit. double doubles and neopalitan shakes were almost a daily snack for me! i was able to go to the SDMA and see some amazing piantings, jewlery, drawings, and sculptures while there. i could have spent the whole day in there had time permitted. the holiday bowl game between nebraska and arizona was fun even though the game was not very intense do to arizona's lack of skills and size on the field. sunny with a high of 75 has been more than enjoyable compared to the twenty and above weather in boise that includes snow, ice, and crappy drivers. San Diego has really felt more like home this last week as i ponder upon the fact that it has been ten years since my last true visit, and i hope to return home sometime soon. in the famous words of Anberlin, "they lied when they said the good die young!" til next time...
