Crazy...
So, after almost another year, I'm gonna post in this thing. I wasn't the one who posted in it last, as you can clearly see it was some girl named Ash, but I thought I would start it back up. She, being Ashley, really outdid herself by giving me a really sweet gift. It was every journal entry from Livejournal that talked about her and myself. She printed everything out and color-coded it and put it in a binder that said "How It All Began!" and gave it to me. It was really awesome, and it really brought back some great memories when I read them all over again. We went through a lot and are still going through even more. Little over a year left until both of us graduate and then who knows from there.
Futures are crazy, fun, exciting, nerve-racking, intense, suspense-filled, any adjective that you'd like to put in there, go right ahead. The crazy part is that everybody has one, but none of them will be the same. Everybody's future is unique to that one person. Not many things can be truly unique, but that is one of them. I sometimes try to guess what the future will be like, but I truly don't know what it entails. I don't know where I am going to be, what I am going to be doing, or if I will still be alive (although I hope I am). Futures are something to look forward too, and if you really feel ambitious, you can try to shape your future, but that can probably both help and hurt the direction of your future. I find it best to let fate choose the road, buckle up, and get ready for the ride.
I just started my second term at Northwood today, and it is pretty boring. I have a 6 hour break from noon to 6pm and that is what brought me to updating my LJ. Some people still post in theirs, but just a handful. I'm taking 16 credits, which isn't too much, but an average load here at Northwood. I still feel like a Freshman even though this is my fourth year. I don't know anybody, well many people, and I often sit and don't talk to many people in class because I don't know many people. I guess this could be helping my study-habits because I'm paying more attention in class instead of talking to "friends." I put friends in quotes because I dont consider many people here friends. As far as friends go, I could probably count my true friends on two hands. I have more acquaintances and what not, but for good, solid friendships, not too many, but I suppose its better that way because they can be held close to my heart, and made like they are important to me.
I just received an internship with the Great Lakes Loons in Midland. For those who don't know, they are the Minor League Baseball Team in Midland that are the farm-team for the LA Dodgers. It's just a summer internship, but hopefully this will open doors to a full-time position in the fall. What this means is that my summer will be filled with numerous days spent at the ball diamond instead of playing tennis, going out on the boat, or even seeing Ashley or my friends. Its a sacrifice that I have made and I hope it is the right decision. I am taking a huge pay cut for the summer, but as long as it opens doors, then I think it's the correct decision. I start the internship tomorrow with a Customer Training Session, and then actually start my job, doing whatever it may happen to be, on Friday. Kind of excited, but kind of not. More nervous than anything because I have never done anything except landscaping, so this is really in the opposite direction that my old job was. I still have the same phone number, and hopefully it will stay that way after I leave my current job.
