This is the beginning of the final stretch for myself and many of my friends, companions, acquaintances, and colleagues as we enter our last couple of semesters at our respective universities. It is so crazy that often I still cannot believe and fathom that I was a freshman just like so many of the newcomers at VCU. What really put this part of my life into perspective is when one of my former volleyball players that I coached last year at Midlothian sent me a SnapChat video of him moving into his dorm and gallivanting all around his campus with his buddies. All I could think of was when I was his age and doing the same shit that he is probably doing right now. Life is crazy!
School has started off nice so far. We went to some frat party, my Spanish professor is gorgeous and gave me a traditional Spanish name for class (Lorenzo), all of my classes are pertaining to my major and really have me interested and in-tune to what the professor is saying, and I finally feel like my education is right in front of me instead of somewhere far off in a land that is unknown. In the last few semesters I have had struggles trying to figure out what it is that I would like to do when I graduate, but as of late I have been setting time aside from the semi-chaotic schedule that I have at hand and digging deeper discovering my likes and interests. I also think that the classes that I'll be taking for the next few semesters will really open my eyes to some things that I have not seen before and give me an even better sense of what my true calling/passion is. Usually I would not be that excited for class to start or anything like that, so that fact that I can truly say to myself "I am actually looking forward to going to class today." really astounds me and makes me very hopeful of my future in and after college.
I have not been skating as much as I would like just because of the magnitude I believe my studies are carrying at the moment. I'm doing my best to skate at least every other day, but sometimes you have to make sacrifices to get what you want and need. Lord knows I would love to be doing some nose-grind 180's right now, but my grades say "look over chapters 1-5 and annotate key topics.". Hopefully I find some better ground in between the two and make happy balance.
I have also come to realize that I am not that much of a complicated person in regards to my daily routine and schedule, yet I have had multiple constituents bring to my attention that I am very "hard to read." I don't really care that much for other's opinions (I mean that in the best of ways), but I think it's just funny that some think that I am complicated when I think that I am pretty basic. Maybe I am wrong, maybe I'm not. No big deal. Also, this whole post was fueled by a large iced coffee that I purchased from Starbucks about 15 minutes ago. Coffee! Academics! Blogging! Yeah!
