live love.

as far as i can tell it has been 21 days since my last post.
far too long for my own good.
blogging. writing. was meant to keep me on track. keep me focused.
but i have let myself just say i’ll do it soon, and soon never comes.
i’ve become the same way with many spiritual disciplines.
so here is another attempt at one week straight.
a blog post a day for 7 days in a row.
i’ve done it once before, though barely.

quite a bit i suppose has actually happened since the last time i posted a general update.
let’s start with school.
so far so good. senior yr. class of 09. graduating class of cinco.
the nice thing though about having such a small class is the unique relationship i have been able to build with each other senior over the last few years.
i really can say i wouldn’t want to graduate with any other group of people.
senior pictures is another plus to small school, small class.
i think i had more fun talking cameras with the photographer than actually taking the pictures but it was still fun. i love the color and composition of the shots. it just furthered my interest and dream to work in the world of art, photography and video.
as far as classes go…precal, ehh…physics, same thing…government is pretty chill, ap econ starts in december and should be interesting, english is same old same old, speech class is pretty much a breeze, and yearbook well hopefully the whole thing gets done, but even if doesn’t the  few pages we do finish will look pretty good i think.

the other week i ran a mile and a half. more than i had run distance wise in about 7 months due to whatever was wrong with my shins. (thought they were shin splints but my volleyball coach doesn’t think so cause it was hurting in the wrong place)
i had been playing spring league and summer league for basketball and after tourney’s my shins would sometimes hurt so running the distance was a good test.
so far so good my shins didn’t hurt, so i think i’m going to give running to the gym for practice a shot when the time comes.

the application process for colleges i have decided is one of those necessary evils.
a pain but needed. i qualified for this elc student thing with the uc system which basically means they looked at my grades over the summer and said i’m on track for being accepted. in the last couple months i have gotten letters from ucsd, ucsb, and uc davis inviting me to apply, a post card from uc riverside saying i’m accepted and i just need to apply, and a letter just the other day from uci saying i am guaranteed admission to most majors and asking me to apply. so my plan thus far is to apply at ucsd and uci. with it looking like uci may very well be my choice of school. i still am planning to apply at chapman but it looks like i will miss the early application date and will have to apply for the january date. even if accepted there i’m leaning towards a uc because of how much cheaper it will be. a uc will be approximately 10 grand cheaper than chapman, granted chapman is still some what of a dream of mine, but i think chapman may be a good option for grad work or the such.

as an aside i let my permit expire right before school started…and didn’t have time to get it again at a time available for my parents to sign so….come january i’m (Lord willing) going to get my permit again as a 18 year old and shortly thereafter try and get my license.

well that turned out to be much longer than i originally envisioned and alot more random and scattered as well. forgive any spelling errors. i’m trying to get back into it.
pray that i post again tomorrow, and the day after till i have posted for 7 straight.
–
live love.
breathe surrender.
with reckless abandon.
