My Turn

After all the stressful and restless nights during finals week, I finally get the opportunity to post my first message on the Family Blog. So I guess for my first comment I would have to mention "I'M FINALLY DONE WITH MY SECOND YEAR OF COLLEGE!!!" Sometimes I wonder how you did it Tone, and I guess I didn't realize it when you told me how the quarter system is no joke. I think its borderline ridiculous to have a school system consists of three main sessions of extensive cramming and stress. You spend days at the library, hours of stress, minutes of sleep just for a few seconds of fun. I could have sworn life was supposed to have those activities in the opposite order. I'm starting to realize how today's education does nothing but teach us the fundamentals of cramming. And the grade we get in the class is simply curved around who can stay awake the longest. Aside from my frustration for school, I'm just ecstatic that I'm already halfway through my college career. Crazy huh? Time really doesn't wait for anyone. And as I keep scrolling down the page and see my little niece not so little anymore it creeps me out because I honestly don't know what my future holds. As much as I continually attempt to shape it everyday by going to college, living on my own, and working minimum wage jobs, I'm still lost as to what this shape will finally be. They say college is where a kid becomes a man, where you discover who you are and what you want to do in life. However, I'm half way through and not even Mapquest can give me directions. I guess, two years is a lot of time, but it really scares me that in the next two years I will more than likely make some of the biggest decisions of my life. The decisions that will pave my pathway for the next 30 or so years of my life. The only conclusions that I am drawing from life is getting older sucks! The older I get, the more responsibilities I obtain. I reminisce on days when I was Sam's age, where responsibility means nothing more than fixing a bed or washing the spoon and bowl that I used for cereal. And now, not even officially a real adult, I'm starting to foresee the struggles that life reserves for human beings.

Ok well enough of the uncertainty in my life. What is certain is that 1. I declared my major as Economics about 2 weeks ago (Not like I wasn't always going to do it but I officially declared it). 2. I'm thinking of picking up a minor which I am uncertain about. I've been thinking about minoring in Photography, but it is a little uncertain right now. Ate, since you wanted to see some of the stuff I shot with my camera, this is my last project I did for my class that had the theme: LOVE. But since I can't upload raw files on here then these pictures are not edited because I didn't save a jpg version>>>








Well that's enough for now, I'll continue some other time, it's 4:47am and I think it's time to go to bed. My sleep cycle is all messed up because of finals week.
