A Blog You Say??

Thats right everyone, I just recently remembered that I have one of these things. It has only been since spring break that I last made an entry, so this one may closely mirror my previous post. Different classes same story. I had two tests before this week, and they both went mediocre to fairly well. I hit the class average in Organic Chemistry, which isnt much of an accomplishment, but I guess you gotta take what you can get. In physics I have done fairly well so far and I think I did alright on my test, but wont know until after the break. Other than that my life continues in its increasingly boring ways. For fall break I am working 3 7 hour days in the Men's Locker Room and then being a lazy punk on Thursday and Friday. Originally we were going to go to Las Vegas for the Utah football game, but laziness reigns supreme. I am wracking my brain for a funny story or something witty to say and I am coming up dry. I had dinner with Steve and Kristen this weekend and it was nice to meet up with them and catch up, they have a beautiful new home and seem to be doing alright, so that was nice. Other than that I am done. Until next time I guess.

Overthinkin'

Here I am, at the end of a pretty crappy week. Officially, I am now on spring break, no school or work for a week. I am pretty excited about this, because honestly, it has been a tough one. I had 2 tests on Wednesday, followed by a 10 page paper on Friday. This may not sound like a lot, but you see, I have a gift, I call it the gift of procrastination. I probably could have worked on this paper previously, but its almost like I need the impending doom of a pressing deadline to motivate me to do my best work. without a crunch from one side, I find it difficult to produce. I sat down at least 3 times in the previous 3 weeks, and would usually stare blankly at the white screen until I got a headache or lazy, whichever came first. (I bet you can guess.... and no, I didnt take much ibuprofen this week) needless to say, here I am at midnight, working on a paper that I have no desire to finish, 10 pages is a lot to write even when it is something I feel strongly about, or enjoy. but 10 pages on some lame paper that someone is going to read once kind of irks me. I mean honestly, where do they get off? Enough about my ranting, the main purpose of this blog is to free my mind and allow me write more easily. it seems that if you clear your head, your thoughts tend to leak out in a much more streamlined fashion, and writing stupid tedious papers becomes easier.
Not a whole lot else is new with me. School is chugging along, I feel that I did mediocre on the 2 tests I had earlier this week, clearly not a good indicator of how my study habits have been in the last few months. I am redoubling my efforts, and I am hopeful that this semester will still be marked as a W when all is said and done.I have tried to become a wee bit more socially active, much to my chagrin. I hate having to throw myself out into uncomfortable situations and feel what its like to be judged. I am finally attending the correct ward, all by myself. A new feeling, and I feel like it has given me some insight on how new converts and less active members feel. It is hard to be out of my comfort zone when not even 100 feet away are all of my friends and people who love me. Its an interesting condition, and one that I am not altogether enjoying. I hope to be able to look back and merit some sort of growth from it all, but time alone will tell.
Spring break should prove to be fun, some friends and I are going camping in southern Utah, San Rafael Swell to be precise. It will be a nice getaway, as much as I enjoy Salt Lake, I need to get out and remind myself what its like to not be stuck in a stupid city all day long. I guess that I am gonna go, I will take pictures on our trip, and maybe if we are lucky I will even put some up for everyone to see. Till next time.

A night of randomness

As I habitually check everyone's blogs, I notice that I become upset when people dont write new things. Then I realized how unfair that is of me, and so in an effort to karmatically make everyone else write a new blog, I am writing a new blog. Not quite sure what this blog will contain yet, as I have a lot on my mind, and no real rhyme or reason with which to spout it off.
In an effort to update from my last blog, I feel like I have gotten out of the slump a bit and seem to be doing better with becoming and staying motivated. This is a happy thing for me. Nothin sucks worse than a slump. However the negative aspect of this is that I am starting to realize my many other flaws. It is always tough to realize that you arent as perfect as you feel like you are. haha! School is going well, I have some fun classes, and I am enjoying the subject matter in all of my classes. It is a new and different atmosphere at the U, but it is one I enjoy. Academia isnt something that I necessarily enjoy, but learning and applying things to what I see around me is wonderful, and it builds my testimony all the time just to see the way things work.
My physiology class is wonderful and challenging. I think part of the reason I lacked motivation was because I wasnt challenged. I feel like I tend to be like water a little too much in that I like to find the easy path and coast. However, I am trying to give myself new challenges and work on making myself better. I am happy with the results thus far and hope too see even more improvement.
Well, I ran out of steam rather fast, just a quick update, hope all is well with all.
