Go go go!

So I guess it seems like the past few weeks have been the busiest weeks ever. I don’t think there is a time when I’ve been able to truly relax. I think the only thing I’ve really done for myself lately was play my guitar and learn a few new songs. I’ve found comfort in my guitar lately just to forget about everything and jam out to some Thrice or The Receiving End of Sirens. Can’t really go wrong there with those two bands. Soon enough I’ll probably buy some new effects pedals to experiment with.

I really can’t wait to play volleyball again in a league or even club ball at RIT next year. It has been fun to play in gym class with off the wall even though people in there can be quite bad or annoying if they feel the need to not even try. Club should be interesting next year if and when I start to play. Traveling a bit will be fun visiting other colleges to play. Should be a great experience to say the least and loads of fun.

Well, I’m on the go again, but this time it’ll be to get some rest after pounding out an article for the site I write for. I’ll post more details about that in my next post along with a link to the article for anyone who reads this.

Peace Easy,

Nick

Haven’t wrote in here in awhile so I figured I’d make an update. Midterms were this week and they were the biggest waste of my time ever. AP Physics sucked, it sucked a lot. Economics was a joke of a test as it only took 45 minutes out of the mandatory 2 hours we had to stay there for. So all in all, it was the biggest waste of my time ever but oh well, the time off was good and it’s not over yet.

Figured I’d just make this short and sweet and I’ll post a bigger update this weekend. All in all, life has been pretty good and it can only get better from here.

After bringing in the New Year right with the boys (I don’t need to go into detail too much here ha) things have just gotten more stressful. There is a lot going on now between scholarship deadlines among things that need to be done before the end of the semester. Between the Economics project due Wednesday and other essays and homework that need to get done, I’ve been pretty bogged down. So far I’m managing all of it but in the end I barely have any time for myself the past week and that doesn’t look to change this week at all. In the end the scholarships will be worth it if i receive them so I can’t complain there.

With the New Year I’ve set out to make a few resolutions that I’ll be actually trying to keep this year. Working out a bit more and starting an ACTUAL band rank at the top. I’ve been sort of trying to find the right people that like the same “sound” of music so to speak so we are all on the right page of interest. It will be interesting to see what will come out of it in the end.

As you probably have noticed, there is a Google Ad on the right side of the page. If you could please click on that, I’m trying to generate money through it towards a Macbook Pro for college and a click a day will help a ton. Time to go back at plugging away on Econ, but before I do that, you can find a few highlights of 2007 below.

- Last year of Varsity Volleyball (Gonna miss it, great times boys) Woot woot for all county award!
- Junior Prom and Senior Ball 2007, both were great times
- The various parties with the gang over the summer, that WILL continue in Summer 2008
- All the bonfires that occurred multiple times a week over the summer
- Reger’s and my 2v2 streak which has yet to be matched/beaten
- The various relationships that didn’t end well that made me a better person and taught me something about myself
- The friend’s I’ve made over the past year, you’ll be kept close to me
- Old friends, let the good times roll into 2008

Until next time, peace easy.
