UPDATE
Well, it's definitely been a while since I posted in this thing.
Life, for the most part, has been great these past couple of years. As most of you know, I went to Cal Lutheran my freshman year, then had to drop out becuase the school decided to take away ALL of my financial aid, and it would have costed $36,000 dollars for me to go to school there for a year. I felt that it wasnt even worth a fraction of that money to go there, so I decided to spend a year at Ventura College, and then transfer out somewhere for this next year.
Not gonna lie, I pretty much dreaded the fact that I was going to be a student at VC, but over the year, I found out that it really isnt that bad... at all. The library kicks ass, the teachers are, for the most part, pretty good, and I have more of a big-school feeling there vs. CLU, which is kinda sad. Sure, I hate seeing people from high school and other places that I really dont want or care to see, but other than that, classes have been easy, and its been a good year back in good ol' Ventura. My schedules have been kicked back, it doesn't even feel like im in school. Class on MWF has started at 10:30, and I am done around 2, and then on Tuesday and Thursday, I dont have class until 7:00PM.
As far as keeping in touch with friends from high school, I trip myself out when I realize how far apart we have all grown. Other than my close friends, there really arent too many that I keep in touch with anymore on a regular basis. During the year, I will talk to close friends every now and then, but it isn't until summer when everyone is back at home that things feel like theyre back to normal, and then before you know it, its time for everyone to leave again. It's funny though... even when I hang out with friends that I havent talked to in a long time, it is like nothing has changed, and things are just the same as they used to be, and I like that feeling. Im sure it will continue that way. I just hope my close friends and I stay close, and to the rest.... guess I will see you at the reunion.
As of about a month ago, I am going to be a student at the University of Arizona in the fall, and I cannot wait for time to roll around and for me to be out of here. I love it here in California, but I am definitely ready for a change. Im gonna be living with my cousin who has a house out there for the first year, and either live in a fraternity next year, or live in a house that my parents will decide to invest in out in Tucson. I feel like it's gonna be a new beginning, and like i've got nothin in my way as I start a new life out there. Fresh new start with a clean slate, doing whatever I want to do, livin it up, and I cant wait for it to happen.
Other than school and work, everything else has been swell. My family and I have grown closer over the past year, and its been great still being at home, not once have I regretted dropping out of Cal Lutheran, other than having all my friends around every day while I was there. Dads been workin alot more lately so I dont see as much of him, but things for the most part havent changed alot. There are alot of goals that I have set for this summer, so wish me luck with all of them. As for the snowboarding season, crappy pretty much sums it up. Only made it out to mammoth twice, and big bear was pretty much every weekend. Even though the snow sucked in Big Bear and the season ended over a month too early, the times that I had up there with friends and family were some of the best so far, so I guess that is all that really matters in the end.
Well, that gives you somewhat of an update of where I have been... And it is safe to say that I am overall content with just about everything going on in my life. Definitely alot I left out in this entry, but that was most of the important stuff.
til next time, (might be in a couple of years)
