Nostalgic

I don't have to sleep ridiculously early tonight due to the fact that my boss graciously gave me the day off. So I decided to blog, since there is apparently nothing better to do, other than play video games (street fighter IV) and watch movies (Harold and Kumar), and since I've had enough of both of those, here I am.

I'm a morning person. That is a pretty known fact, at least to all the people who have been around me at night and have seen me in the morning. The mornings are so pure. I can't even think of a better word for it. I wake up, I take a shower, get into clothes that are clean, eat a clean breakfast, on those special days I can go running, etc etc. The night is highly overrated. I'm sure there are some of you who are laughing at me, saying that I am an old man, but BAH. If the morning is pure, the night is... grimy. I think you can see where I can get that. I'm just a fan of the morning. And everyone knows that nothing good happens after 2am. It is true.

Obviously there is nothing to write about. I'm not feeling emo, so that strikes out the emo post. I'm not feeling excited, that strikes out the overly enthused post. I'm not angry, I'm not worried, I'm not even hungry. I'm pretty much a blank emotion.

I guess if anything, I'm in a very reflective mood.

I had some crazy dream last night, where my boss was pissed that I was late by like 4 hours. Ironically, I got to work this morning and got a call from my boss telling me that she was sick and couldn't come into work, leaving us shorthanded with 17 kids.

I've been thinking a lot about my sophomore year in college, especially since most of the parent's of the kids I work with ask if what grade in high school I am, and me having to explain to them that I really do go to UT and I really am a history major (Do I really look like a high schooler still?!). I realized that a lot has happened this semester. I remember that I wrote a post after my freshman year about the things that I learned. Here are some excerpts.

1. Skipping class was not worth it.
1a. Never take 8am classes unless absolutely necessary, same goes for 9am classes.
2. PCL is not for me.
4. Being a freshman and dating do not mix.
7. Prayer is more important than grades.
8. Sometimes people who you don't expect to teach you something, teach you the most important lessons.
9. People are selfish.
11. People will always have excuses.
12. Surround yourself with loyal people.
15. Major in what you enjoy, not what will make you the most money.
18. I care too much about what people think.

1. I only skipped 3 classes this year. That was a crazy accomplishment. I'm so glad that I chose to go to my classes, I actually started to enjoy them.
1a. I did take 8am and 9am classes. They were fine, since I just chose to be responsible and sleep early enough.
2. PCL still isn't for me, but I'm learning how to enjoy it by myself. I'm not longer playing video games at periodicals. I actually went to the library with JUST a book.
4. I'm not really sure what to think of this. I still think it is somewhat true. But I think I should change it to a "being immature and dating don't mix". I think I need to mature a lot more before I can date again...
7. Wow, reading this broke me. I prayed so freaking much freshman year (I hope that doesn't sound like boasting...) I really enjoyed having prayer walks, I enjoyed just chilling somewhere and talking to God. This year, that pretty much faded. ouch.
8. This one is true. Just leave it at that. I learn so much from the least likely people.
9. I am selfish. Lets leave it at that.
11. I think I know exactly why I wrote this when I wrote it a year ago, but now that I look back, I think that it was a bit harsh. People have reasons for the things they do, not necessarily excuses.
12. I love loyal friends.
15. I accomplished this one. I changed my major this year to History.
18. Ah, I still do care about what people think. So much.

Reading my old blog is sorta funny. hahah.

I overslept.

Not the normal over sleeping. But 7 hours of over sleeping. So here is the story behind my over sleeping.

I had to finish my lab the other night, so I went to bed around 12:30ish. Then went to early morning prayer, which I woke up at 5:15. So I was pretty exhausted through the day. So once I was done with my chem class I was going to go home and take a nap. But that didn't work out just as planned. I ended up talking online for a bit. THEN. I don't remember what happened. I think I fell on my bed, instantly passing out. Because I just woke up.

I missed:
1. Dinner.
2. Prayer meeting
3. Shooting for VA
4. Homework
5. Math TA session
6. The Laker game

I'm so frustrated right now. I woke up with a pretty nasty stomach ache. I don't mean to rant. but I just missed everything.

Haha, that made me laugh. BTW, not going to dallas this weekend. Going the 4th of july weekend. I think i'll be back in austin Sunday hopefully. Lets do something for my birthday. Screw surprises. Lets just all come over to my house, and play a bunch of board games or something. Yeah? Someone think of good party games.
