So, my life has gotten complicated and tiring lately. I haven't posted forever, mainly because of lack of time. I have been going to College for Spring quarter. I started with 17 credit hours, then bumped my English class to next quarter when it was obvious that many classes that much work and my workout were too much. But I am still doing well in Industrial Safety and Health, and currently have a 97% in my Calculus class, so I guess I am doing OK. My work schedule is going better than I thought it would, and when this quarter ends, we don't even have to change much for next quarter and I should even get a few days off a week.
I am only taking English next quarter, because hopefully between quarters I am going to have surgery on a part of my gum that has worn away. It isn't supposed to take to long to recover from, and I should be able to get 10 days straight off of work and school, hmmmmm, maybe I will have to take my dad up on that Arizona trip he has been wanting to go on.
It may sound crazy, which I usually do, but I have been looking into things and think I might have found a direction to take my life in. I think I might want to try and be a Green Berets. I know, it sounds nuts. I am trying to do the work out to get prepped for the insane PT test that you have to pass, I am having mixed results. I have been working out for two years now, but this is far more intense than any work out I have ever done, and that is to just get in good enough shape to start the training. I guess I was just sitting around at work one day and thought to myself god, what have I done with my life. I am 26 years old, freakin smart as hell, can dedicate myself to things. And here I am, sitting in a warehouse, the kind I've worked in since High School, never even left this part of the state, or my comfort zone. One night I woke up and went to the ER because I thought I was having a heart attack, and thought to myself, this is it, this is all I will ever amount to. This is the highest I will ever reach. Spend the next three years becoming and Electrician. What is that? In a post long ago I think I wrote that I didn't want to make up stories about super heroes, that I wanted to be one instead. We here you go Spider-man, lets see if you can really man up and face the unknown or if your just gonna be a little chicken shit like you always are.
