I love Texas State but leaving Houston is never easy. On Sunday i woke up at ten. I planned on leaving at twelve but i never leave when i plan. it took me a while to pack and get all my things ready, then i had to shower, and eat. It is hard to say good bye to my friends, especially my friends that are girls because they get all emotional and what not. I'm happy they miss me that much but leaving is hard enough, that just makes it harder.
I left at about two o'clock and i was pumped on coffee and monster so i wide awake the whole way. It was a smooth ride but traffic sucked. i probably should have left earlier but i still made it in about two and a half hours. when i got back i had to start unpacking because if i didn't then, i probably wouldn't have done it for a couple weeks.

Spring Break Day 10-- Dinner and a movie
Saturday was simple but fun. It was the last day i had to spend with my girlfriend so i had to make it count. we started off by going to a tapioca place called Kim's Tea House. Tapioca is like the best thing ever!!! I think there should be a national tapioca day where everyone has to drink tapioca. After tapioca we went to watch I Love You Man. it wasn't as funny as i thought but it was an okay movie. i guess i thought i was going to laugh more.
After the movie, she took me to a Mexican restaurant. i love all kinds of foods so i didn't mind at all. she wanted me to try papusas (i think that's how it's spelled). it was pretty good. I'm still not sure whats in them of what it is made out of but it was good. After we left the restaurant we went to the park and chilled for a while. then i took her home. The End!

Spring Break Day 9-- Paintball!!!
Friday started off a little sad because i found out that two of my good friends Sergio and Gino, were going to the army. They made the decisions on their own so i had no option but to accept it. Sergio wanted us to do something eventful before i went back to school so we decided to go paintballing. we had a coupon for ten people so i invited a couple of other friends and Sergio invited a couple of his friends from school.
It was a lot of fun and i would definitely do it again. Next time i go i know i am actually going to do much better than i did. because it was my first time ever going paintballing i got killed by some kids who looked like they go every day. its a really fun but expensive hobby.

Spring Break Day 8-- Beach!!!
since Wednesday absolutely sucked, i was hoping that Thursday would be better. i planned on going to the beach with my girlfriend, my friends, her friends, and her friends friends (get it?). I was in charge of making sure everyone was on the same page and that was extremely exhausting. I got a little frustrated trying to get about twenty people to meet up at a place at the same time. we eventually made it happen. we were about thirty minutes late but it was a fun ride. the whole way to the beach i had my music on full blast and i made sure we had fun in my car.
when we finally got to the beach it was a little awkward. i tried to introduce all my friends to all her friends. that was the easy part. when i tried introducing my friends to my girlfriends friends it was way harder. they were a group of white kids who were obviously intimidated by my diverse group of friends. we tried to talk to them but they made no attempts to interact with us. aside from that, it was a very good day.

Spring Break Day 7-- bye destiny :-(
i woke up to my father asking my why the trunk to my car was open. It was like seven in the morning so i went back to sleep. I eventually woke up about four hours later and i planned on lifting weights with my cousins. when i got into my car i noticed all my change was dumped out of my car and random things were laying around.
i noticed some other things were put in random spots. then i instantly checked for Destiny (my GPS) and she was gone. its a little weird that i named my GPS system but she talks to me, i think she at least deserves a name. i wanted to call the cops but i don't think they would have been able to do much. it was definitely the worst day of my break. the people who broke into my car also took pictures of me and my girlfriend which kinda weirded me out a little.

Spring Break Day 6-- Rodeo
on Tuesday i had a lot of fun until i rolled my ankle. the day started off with a call from one of my closest friends Brian. we played football together and he wanted to work out together. when i got to his house he decided he didn't want to lift weights anymore so we called a group of friends to play basketball at a church. my friends called people and those people called other people and before i knew it the court was packed. we played a like four games in the hot sun. the last game i ended up rolling my ankle.
After the game i rushed home and got ready to go to the rodeo. that was pretty cool. we went on a lot of rides and i saw this country singer named Keith Urban. i think that's how you spell his name. I'm not much of a fan of country music but i acted like i was having fun because i got the tickets for free and i didn't want to be rude.

Spring Break Day 5--laser tag
Monday was pretty cool. it was the first time i ever worked out with my sister. i have always promised to work out with her but I've never had the time to. About twenty five minutes into the workout she quit and started watching TV.
i went to play basketball with a group of my high school friends. I realized i was extremely out of shape but i was still in better shape than most of my high school friends. After that we went to play some laser tag. it was fun but i got sick of all the little kids faster than i thought. i formed an alliance with this one kid but he was so stupid. every time he'd run off to shoot someone I'd shoot him in the back.

Spring Break Day 4-- near death experience
By Sunday was very crazy because i had to think of an excuse to tell my parents why i wasn't home last night. i made up a huge lie, which I'm not proud of but i had to. my mom believed me but my dad always tries to poke holes in my stories. well i got out of that one and then went to church.
After that i went shopping with my girlfriend at First Colony mall in Houston. Shopping with girls is never a good idea and i was extremely tired so it sucked. i only got about thirty minutes of sleep the night before so i looked half dead the whole day.
After i dropped my girlfriend off at home. i had a hard time staying awake while i was driving. the longer i drove, the harder it was to stay awake. i shut my eyes for half a second and the next thing i know i was off the road looking at cars coming directly at me. one of the scariest moments ever but i learned my lesson.

Spring Break Day 3-- Fun Night
My second day of spring break was not too eventful, but that night was really fun. during the day i hung out with some of my old friends. i went University of Houston to meet up with a group of friends to watch some frat thing but when we got there we got lazy and decided to skip it.
Later on that night my girlfriend invited me to a Hispanic club named Mango. when i got there i felt a little out of place but i ended up having a really good time. after that we went to another club named Rich's. at that point i was way partied out but i didn't wanna look like like i couldn't handle it so i kept going. then we went to Houston Baptist University where i spent the night.

Spring Break Day 2-- day at HBU
On Friday i woke up in my queen sized bed and for the first time in a while i was able to receive 8 hours of sleep. right after i woke up i had to go get a hair cut because its almost impossible to find someone in San Marcos to properly cut my hair. i don't need like a specialist to cut my hair, i just need someone with experience on how to cut African American hair.
After that i got my allergy shots then went to visit my girlfriend at her school. she goes to Houston Baptist University. I have a lot of friends that go there so i spent the rest of the day at HBU. Their school is pretty new and i really liked their dorms but it is way too expensive.

Spring Break Day 1-- Drive back to Houston
The days leading up to spring was hell! i only received about 3 to 5 hours of sleep and it showed. i didn't even feel like myself. Thanks to Professor Kelly, i had the option to leave on Thursday. I originally planned on leaving on Friday morning but i couldn't wait to start my break.
The drive to Houston was pretty smooth considering the fact that i only had about 3 hours sleep and it was at night. i had plans to meet up with some friends later on that night but right when i got home the first thing i did was laundry then slept like a baby.

2 weeks before spring break 09
Last semester was fairly easy. i had fourteen hours and i was able to handle it pretty well. i made a 3.77 GPA and missed having a 4.0 by one point (really pissed me off but I'll save that for another blog). well last semester was not too challenging so i decided to take 3 more classes.
That wasn't a very good idea. it feels like all i do now is read and do work. Not fun at all! this is the last time i will ever take over 14 hours. i am already sure that i will take summer school every summer until i graduate so that should help some with the work load.

Hamlet!
This is my first time reading Hamlet. I can tell it is a really interesting story but i cant seem to get passed the language. It sounds like it is a completely different language. i read pages over and over again and i still couldn't seem to understand it. i cant imagine using that kind of language but I'm sure hundreds of years from now people will say the same about us right now.
Watching the movie is completely different from the reading it. when i read it i believe Hamlet was as crazy as they made him out to be but after watching the movie i feel that he really is messed up. maybe its because he has a lot of monologues and talking to oneself isn't really that popular.

Blogs Blogs Blogs!!!
Blogs are pretty cool. it seems like a really good idea until you forget to do them for some time and next thing you know you have to do like a million blogs to catch up. At the beging of the semester i thought this was going to be an easy grade but now it actually feels like it might be hard work.
Speaking of hard work, i think our next essay might be very challenging. our last three essays weren't that bad because they were about personal experiences but now we have to write about hamlet.

Weight Lifting
At this point beginners weight lifting is my favorite class. We don't really do much but it feels like i already know about everything the instructor is talking about. I am not an expert weight lifter but i have been around enough smart weight lifters to know the do's and donts of weight training. It feels somewhat elementary to me but I'm glad i have a little bit of an upper hand.
We had to give a presentation in front of the class and we were suppose to demonstrate the correct ways of doing workouts. This might be the first presentation i have ever given that i am completely sure that i did very well. its very easy to be confident when you know what you are talking about.

Mike wants to go shooting
A good friend of mine wants to take me skeet shooting and at first i was all over that idea until he told me that a lot of country, racist, red neck people are going to be there. Mike can be a very trust worthy guy but I'm not down with getting shot at. The fact that racist people are going to be there doesn't scare me but i know "accidents" happen.
To try to make myself blend in or seem less black he said he was going to let me borrow his cowboy boots and his belt buckle. At this point i am not completely sure it is worth it. If i did get shot "accidentally" it would be extremely hard to explain it to my mom who hates guns.

The Rodeo
My girlfriend asked me to go to the rodeo and her friends want me to see Keith Urvan. I am not quit sure who that is but because i don't know him i am pretty sure i am not a fan. I just recently found out that she wants to see Taylor Swift. I am not a fan of her either but i heard her new song love story like a million times on the radio and its pretty good.
I would much rather see chamillionare at the rodeo but i am almost sure that's not gonna happen because he is a "Houston" rapper and he is not as popular as other hip hop artists such as "lil Wayne" or 50 cents. i am not saying i don't like country music but it is very hard for me to relate to a lot of the music.

Not a fan of Blogging
I wish i loved writing so this can come easy to me but for some reason blogging is such a pain. I hope it gets easier or i get better at it because right now its not looking too good. Most of the time i cant think of a topic to write about and if i can think of a topic i get bored half way through.
I almost wish they were due at the end of each week so i can actually have motivation to do them. Instead we have freedom to do them whenever. All that matters is that we have them complete by the end of the semester. I love the freedom but it gets hard to keep up with it.
