Oh yeah! I have a blog

Apparently, magic is known by more than a few of my classmates and other students I’ve yet to meet. In fact, there are 3 students sitting near me who are playing now and I’m just listening to them talk and play. One of them reminds me of most of the guys I remember from Northlake: big, talkative, odd humor, lively, and over fond of his cards. There were many players like this back home and they were good guys but I personally wasn’t interested in hanging out aside from the school, however, if we happened to meet somewhere else then I would have a conversation with them. I feel the same thing would happen here if I were to introduce myself to them and I’d rather not have that same dynamic follow me to Cali. It’s been a while since I’ve gotten to play really so I think I’ll head to Friday Night Magic on the week I’m off from school, just to mix things up.

There is another guy sitting here who is on his laptop who must really enjoy his privacy for he sat down with his monitor facing the open public and after a few minutes he decided to move so his monitor was facing the wall. I can see his monitor and he really isn’t doing anything; he got online, went to a site and rebooted his machine.

Day 3 of my workout routine was a success! My habit was broken in 2013 when Job ad came to visit and ever since it’s been hard to get back on that horse. Part of the reason is so I can be physically fit for my engagement photos, which should take place during the summer some time, and the other reason is so I would be able to run a Spartan race. I have one partner who wants to run with me but she wants a larger group and I feel the same so we have decided to train all this year and form a larger group of friends who will run with us.

Last thing, I have this week and next week left of school before the quarter is over and I’m partly stressing over the final project.

blanking…..oh wait! school

My goodness it’s been a while since I had a moment to sit down and write down my thoughts but now that I have that moment I’m finding that I have nothing to write about. That’s not to say I don’t have thoughts to share during my days, it’s just that right now I’m blanking. Even though I’m in school, I feel a bit stagnant in the development of myself. Don’t’ get me wrong, I love the subject I’m majoring in and the possibilities it has after I graduate, I just feel like I’m not growing yet, something’s missing.

I keep going back to chemistry and physics, I always come back to those subjects when I think about school, they were two of my three favorites. I know I messed up by taking time off of school after my first two years but I got back on the horse and it wasn’t easy to do so. When I first tried to go back I was under the age to apply myself so I needed a parent to co-sign loans or I would have to wait. Well my struggle with my mom to be my co-signer ended in failure leaving me to sit and wait until I became of age. During that time I tried to go to community college here in Sacramento, however, getting into school here was much more difficult, and frustrating, that it was back home in Texas. There was a waiting list for the waiting list, which I never got on; I couldn’t believe that it was so hard just to go to school here. I decided just to work and save money which I was only kidding myself, working at Walmart was barely allowing me the means to live.

In June 2013, I started school, had obtained another job, and cut back my hours at Walmart. I was so busy for that summer, never having a moment to relax, always working from morning until midnight. In the final weeks of July I had enough of being screwed over by Walmart, a company I had worked my butt off for, as they would begin schedule me at times I had made clear I was unavailable. This went on for weeks so finally I walked in straight to the office and quit. My schooling was more important than their needs.

I have a project I need to do for my electronics class now and its very exciting. A year ago I wouldn’t have thought I’d be doing what I’m doing now, which is going to school, working in a much better place, enjoying my life, getting married, and laying in my bed before 11pm. I took a big leap of faith when I decided to go back to school and quit my job. Totally worth it!
