And so it continues

Well, it's been a while. I've been telling myself I'm going to write a blog entry since ... November. Woops! Oh well, at least I'm working on one now. So I guess to start I'll summarize my last semester real quick, meh. It wasn't bad, defiantly an improvement over last year, but I could have done things a lot better, academically and with my life. But, here I am, I somehow still scraped by and I'm pressing onward. Hopefully this time in 2 years, I'll have a degree and I'll be job hunting (assuming I get my academics up a little bit). I've been doing a serious a mount of thinking over the past few months about my life and it's direction. I've even debated if I want to continue in my Computer Science degree, but I've been encouraged by older, wiser friends to fight through the tough times and it won't be so bad when it's all over.

I've also been struggling with my relationship status. I can't seem to really find anyone that I like, and if I do ever meet someone I do they are either taken, or what feels like out of my reach for one reason or another. I have no idea what to do about this, but I'm young, and I don't have to worry too much about this (yet...).

On a slightly lighter note, I've been elected the President of the Computer Club here at Western Michigan University, which fills up any free time I might have had between the 14 credits I'm taking this semester and the 30 hours/week I work. I'm finding myself feeling happier when I'm this busy and I'm finally on a normal sleep schedule (11pm - 8am)! Now that I'm waking up at the same time every day, the rest of the day seems so much easier and things don't seem as hard anymore. This is good.

It's only been 4 1/2 months since I moved in here at Zimmerman Hall, right? Well I guess better late than never to post pictures (also I just cleaned my desk!). So here it is, the place I sleep and live.

My desk and couch (yes it has flowers on it)

My bed is the bottom bunk (no, I don't make my bed, take that dad!)

yes, I do love this screensaver and my memory hog

Tomorrow I'm going to look at apartments which I am very excited about. I don't mind the dorms, but I really want more space and to start cooking for myself. I can't wait to start making use of this website! I am looking forward to this summer, it will be boat loads of fun. I'm going to work, take one class, and go home on the weekends to sail with my dad. It's going to be a blast. Anyways, I will post pictures and thoughts on the apartment later this week.

Good to hear from you Travis!

I'm glad you're the president of the Computer Club it will help you as a reference. I have been spending more and more time on the cooking website. I can't wait for the days when I have the ability to cook good meals. This summer is going to be sweet I say we should hang out when you're not sailing!
