What a crazy weekend. Let's start from the beginning, shall we? Btw, don't you like my interactive tone???
Went to Ohio this weekend for the Arnold Fitness Expo to help a few friends. They were competing in the powerlifting competition there, which was amazing to witness. This was my second time attending the event and I never grow weary from being there. It wasn't all that great for my self-esteem, but I'll get where I want to be soon enough. The flight up was pretty interesting. We got into Charlotte around 630ish and checked the status of our plane. Luckily, it was on-time when we got there. So, my friend Dan and I sat down and had a few drinks at the bar (big surprise, I'm an alcoholic). When we went to sit by the gate, however, there was a change in the status of our flight. It had been delayed for an hour. We thought 'no big deal' and went back to the bar. An hour went by and we went to the gate once more. Though this time we were accompanied by another friend of ours who had arrived in the interim, Brett. Once again, our flight had been delayed another hour due to mechanical problems with the plane. After a brief conversation on the phone, I was informed that our flight had been cancelled. Awesome.
What other way to remedy the situation than to call ROADTRIP! We left Charlotte, NC at 1:00 a.m. and made it to Columbus, OH at 9:30 a.m. on the dot. Fucking amazing! What a trip...what an experience...it lets you know you're alive.
When I got back, I realized how much shit I have to finish up. I had a German exam on Monday, 100 pgs of reading for Tuesday's Con Law rape-age, German homework for Wednesday, a 10 pg bio on Chief Justice John Roberts (which I'm currently writing at 9:46 p.m on Wed night) due on Thursday, and an exam in Strategic Weapons Control on Friday (which I never pay any attention in). I have the WORST case of senioritis EVER!
Things have been going really well, though. I've been trying not to focus on my law school applications, or admittance letters I should say. I feel whoa stressed right now, but Spring Break is right around the corner...and I can smell the salt-water and feel the ocean breeze in my hair as I cruise on my bike beachside... I'll have alot of catching up to do over the break, but I don't think I'll be working much and I've got many a good book to read. I hope it lasts as long as I feel it should.
I know I sound stressed and, honestly, I am a little. However, many events in the past few weeks have allowed me to relax and view things from a much different angle. I like the person I've been recently; more pragmatic, less prone to snapping, quick and lucid decision-making, etc. I hope the catalyst for these changes realizes their paramount impact upon my life and the appreciation that follows.
Anyway, just needed a break from this fucking bio. This is my life, and it's ending one minute at a time. It's time to start remembering that. It's time to start separating the important and life-altering shit from the peripheral and inconsequential, petty garbage. I can't worry about everyone else right now; I only have room for a few...and those spots are pretty well reserved at the moment. I'm thankful for everything I have right now and the course that I appear to be on. I certainly hope everything falls into place as it should, perhaps with a little proactive incentive on my part.
Back to school...I know I should be putting far more effort into this, and I will, I just feel so laggard right now. This too shall pass. Until next post...
