YESSSS!

I just got off the phone with the recreation supervisor at MPS and he just re-assured me that I will have two positions this summer. One that will be running soccer mini-camps once a day for 3.5 hours a day. And the second position will be assisting with T-ball and "coach-pitcher" games from 5-8:30pm. Both will only run Monday thru Thursday. It was great news, but I feel like I was barely able to tell anyone, I got a hold of my mom though. Just waitin' for my 4:00pm class right now. That's all for now

Maxin' and Relaxin'

Just sitting here tryin' to enjoy some vacation. Just had an einstein's double choco-chip bagel with a coffee,...ahhh, the good life. Watchin' some music videos and just tryin to figure what I might do today. On another note, I will be starting my soccer referree job this month, I can't wait. It is going to be outdoor games at a couple of southside parks, and its going to be 1st thru 3rd graders, so not too intense. Also, just so I don't forget, I recently won second place in a march madness bracket game. I split the winnings with Alyssa cause she picked the major upset team that no one else did, I was able to get my Adidas Samba's with the winnings :)

Keep pushin' till the end

It is officially second day of week 8, and I it is coming down to the final battle. Natural reaction in these situations is to typically let the built up momentum take me the rest of the way,
but I can't do this. This quarter is going great. I have gotten straight
A's in THREE of my classes. That is simply unheard of
around here, I love it. Two classes are just "eh"
right now, but thats ok too, cause I can
possibly get one of those to a
B-minus. Going to work
a practice exam
for circuits
today, and
try to
start
to
write
a paper.

ready for weeeekend...

Gettin ready for my last class of the day/week. Saturday going to comedy sports with Alyssa and her "crew" lol, should be fun. Tomorrow probably gonna have lonnnggg study day, oh well. Classes are goin good, just learned about linear momentum and impulse today in dynamics, pretty sweet stuff. Also, I fell like I am ready for this Calculus 4 test coming up on monday, I even corrected the teacher after class, I think that's a good sign. TTYL

3 YEARS!!!!

I have now competed, officially, 1/3 of my education (just two years and $60,000 to go). My winter quarter is going pretty well. I am understanding physics for the first time since,....forever. Its funny that it is the more complex physics that I understand though. Calculus 4 is a breeze right now. I will not be interning for GE Healthcare this summer, however, I have several possible prospects already under way. I am applying to do some undergraduate research here at MSOE this summer. It comes with $3713 in stipend money, and travel allowance, and great experience for the resume :). I have some other contacts that I going to get a hold of as well, some at Rockwell Automation, and at HGA architecture and engineering. The biggest news,.....ITS GONNA BE 3 YEARS, me and Alyssa will have been together for a grand total of 3 years on the 20th of January, crazy huh?, time flies when your in love. Thats it for now, gotta get back to work :)

I made it through.....

Last week of the first quarter at MSOE. Gotta tell ya,.....it feels GOOD. School has been challenging, but the sick thing is that I don't mind it. Take away the numbered grades and I'd love it, lol. Anyways, I feel like school has been making me vey strong internally because it has thrown so many curve balls, and even though it feels like most of them have hit me "where it hurts" (use your imagination) they have really strengthened my perseverance. Growing up is rough stuff, I technically dont what "growing up" exactly looks or feels like, but if I had to make a good guess, what I am going through now is gettin' pretty close to it. Here's to staying positive.....

Its been a while....

It has been a while since I have posted any updates. School has been very.....interesting (I will stay positive, I hear its good for my health). I am enjoying all of my courses very well right now, a little math, physics, some computer programming. The issue at times is the crazy roller coaster of emotions they take me on. At one moment I can be grasping at the edge of "just getting by", and at other times it feels like I wanna just "bottle" the succeeding moment to remember during my tough times. I try to remember that it is a good training for life in general. That even though you give your all until you don't know how, sometimes certain days just won't go as well as you'd hoped. The up side is that there are other days when that hard work turns out to be a great investment. I find it intriguing most times because I have found that I actually find out that I learn more about myself during those trying times. I try to talk to God frequently. I try to let him know that I am looking for that purposeful lining, that connecting point between failures and wisdom.
