Short Update

Hello everyone, I figured I’d try to write a quick post before the month was over, trying to fulfill a monthly commitment to this thing. It’s been real busy with homework and projects and stuff, and it’s getting a lot busier as the semester draws near to a close. Final projects and exams, weekend track meets all that stuff to keep me busy from doing my extracurricular activities. Probably by this weekend I’ll have another post to begin December, to share a recent project I had just completed. Stay tuned.

Snow in October - A Disaster

Who would’ve thought, snow in October? I figure it’d be fitting to write about it before November begins. It must be a first for some people, to see a snowstorm in October. I know it’s a first for me as far as I can remember. Are global warming theories coming alive again after this snowstorm? I don’t think one storm in the eastern coast could justify any of those theories. ...

The Weird Thing about Dreams

It’s something that’s been on my mind for a while. There are some weird things that happen in dreams, right? I decided to write about this because I’ve had some dreams that I just can’t get out of my mind. They’re just so interesting. I mean, how are the scenes in your dreams generated? I guess it may have to do with your subconscious and the things you observe over the years. Sometimes you know you have a really good dream and you try so hard to remember it. Sometimes it’s hard to remember what you dreamt about. I think that’s kind of strange. ...

Running Update - September

With time running out in the month, I’d figure I would update the blog with one more post for September. With a stressful couple of weeks I haven’t been able to think of topics or find time to post. So I’m going to write something easy, which is my running update thus far. Since I haven’t updated my running since the PT posts, I’ve got a lot of ground to cover, but I’ll keep it brief. The summer was pretty much a build-up period in order to gain mileage and strength back into myself after a 10 month sting where I forced myself not to run so that the injury wouldn’t get worse. With orthotics and various exercise and stretches, the pain minimized greatly towards the end of the summer, but I’m lacking sufficient endurance to run the mileage I want. ...

Why is it So Much Harder the Second Time Around?

It’s a brand new school year, with much more difficulties ahead. I can’t explain it, but for some reason the academic year is so much harder to get into as opposed to the first year. Is it because I’ve been here before and know how the system works and my mind just thinks it’s accustomed back into a groove? Or maybe it’s that I still got all that rust from the summer still coming off, so I’m behind on my studies? ...
