(no subject)
I know its been awhile since I've had the chance to really post anything but it seems I've been busy with the random craziness of life. I have been back in school for the past two weeks so I guess my spring break was three weeks ago. It ended up being a break I really needed because at the time I was starting to show a bit of mental exhaustion and a whole lot of boredom. That, and if it didn't come when it did I really don't think that I would have been able to handle all the stressors that seemed to hit me all at once. I think its kinda funny that I complained about not having a life for some time and it decided to hit me all at once.
Anyhow, the break was awesome. I started off by finally going to see a friend of mine that I had not seen in over two years. I guess the timing was just right. He was going through a hard time and for once I finally had both the time and resources to make the trip. I came back after the weekend, spent some time with my sister and then spent a day with my aunts taking pictures of things, and through a somewhat comical mishap, ended up getting a slightly better replacement lens for my camera-it jumped out of my bag and into the river, I almost ended up following it but fortunately it was buoyant. I took my sister to the zoo the next day and spent five and a half hours there but sill didn't get to see everything. The day after that, Thursday, my family and I went down to Mustang Island outside of Corpus. I know its sounds kind of corny but I finally got to the mega Whataburger, personally, seeing any two story restaurant is fascinating. Friday and Saturday I spent boogie boarding. I can't remember the last time I had gone but there has always been something about it that has always given me some sense of balance. Its like mentally and physically I'm finally at peace when I'm out on the waves and when I go to sleep for the evening it feels like I'm still out on the water. I miss it.
The following week didnt bring the craziness of traveling like my spring break did, but I was performing much better on a mental and physical level. I was doing well in my schoolwork and even though I was tired, I was able to train harder than I had in a long while. That Thursday after a five hour class I drove home and started running around the block because I had more energy than I knew what to do with. Over all it was a good week.
This past week...I really don't know how to describe other than it has probably been one of the most crazy assed weeks that I can ever remember over the course of my lifetime. The only normal news is that if all goes according to plan I should be graduating next may and I am unable to sell my plasma because my veins are too small. Other than that there aren't too many details that I'm willing to put out for the viewing of the general public.
I've met a lot of new and interesting people lately, and gotten to know several others better than I did. I don't know what the next few weeks have in store for me but I'm planning to take them one at a time. So far my goals are to pass my classes, save up some money for going to New York and traveling to see friends, finish my short story, and try to maintain so semblance of sanity.
