Post 225 | 2012

Hey, look at that, the world didn't end! We made it! Another entire year behind us. Isn't that kind of insane?

I'm sitting here thinking about the year and it was just... wow. A lot happened this year. Well, a lot in my life at least. I'm sure a lot happens every year, this was just kind of a big year for me. And on one side it feels like it was and on the other side it doesn't because not a lot changed, ya know?

No, you don't know probably. Unless you are one of the few that do know. I'm not ready for everyone to know, but the important people know, so yeah. Woo! That was exciting! Scary! But it all worked out and here I am on the other side.

I had a pretty good year I think. It definitely had its ups and downs but I think it was mostly ups. We should run through some examples, yeah? Yeah. LISTS. Lists are what happen at the end of the year. In no particular order...

• Cabin trip!
• Playstation Vita
• JOURNEY... FUCKING. JOURNEY.
• My fish didn't die!
• World didn't end
• Love
• Gained some friends
• Didn't lose any friends over what I was worried about... yet?
• Ratchet and Clank Collection (UYA multiplayer BACK)
• New TV
• Cards Against Humanity
• Cloud Atlas (book)
• Got addicted to How I Met Your Mother
• Game of Thrones
• Downton Abbey
• Survived Pro Comm and Comm Ethics
• Giant Bomb bought by CBS?
• Brave (PIXAR IS BACK AFTER CARS 2 FAIL)
• Life
• Wrote a novel!

I'm sure I am missing a plethora of things, but that is what comes to mind right now. I really liked this year, but I am so ready for 2013. I turn 21 in 2013! Here's a better one... By birthday is 3.13.13 which is 3.13.13 backwards. I turn 21 on 3.13.13 That's fun, right? Yeah? Yeah. It is. I love that. Born on a Friday that 13th. I love 13.

There's a lot that I hope will happen in 2013, and I lot I am hoping to leave behind in 2012. The clock keeps on turning and life keeps on moving forward. It's exciting, scary, and mind boggling all at the same time. I love it.

It's been great, 2012, now move over for 2013. Thanks for reading, here's to another great year.

Post 224 | Finish

Well, this is it, the final week of the semester. Where did time go? Seems like yesterday was Ollies Follies and suddenly I have two days of classes and three days of finals left. I really don't know what happened.

Looking back at the semester, I am fairly satisfied. I think overall there was only one class that I absolutely disliked going to and that is mostly blamed on the teacher. I think in all of my other classes I managed to learn at least something.

Mass media I gained a much better understanding about the flow of money in the media industry.

Communication ethics, well, I learned A LOT in that class, too much.

Radio News/Interviewing I learned a lot about script writing and leads and stuffs.

General Physical Science, I like science, ok? And I build a bad ass trebuchet on the last lab day.

Nonlinear Editing I LEARNED HOW TO USE FINAL CUT PRO OK AWESOME

Christian Scriptures II... I wrote an exegesis... leave me alone... Not like this class.

But yeah, overall it was a fairly sucessful semester. I am mostly satisfied with my grades, we'll see how well I did on the exegesis and if it picks up my grade, but I think most of my grades will stay pretty stationary after finals.

I am not terribly worried about finals at all. Just lots of "final tests" about the last sections of chapters or whatever, nothing terribly difficult. It feels weird to be going into this week not worrying a lot. I feel like all of my other semester have had me terrified.

MY BOOK. I have sent it to various past teachers and also my immediate. One of my old english teachers LOVED IT. We are meeting up over break to talk about it. He asked if I had looked into getting it published... So... That's pretty sweet. After some editing and stuff we'll see where I can go with it. Maybe self publish? Or actually publish?

It would be pretty cool to get it out there for people to read and buy and stuff. It's been a long? semester. Not really long so much because, really, thinking about it I feel like yesterday was Ollies Follies (which is our beginning of the year celebration thing), it's really weird.

Ok, it's 12:15am, maybe bed should happen for the one thing I have happening tomorrow, which is a test, which I am prepared for. Man this is a weird feeling. Ok, thanks for reading, stay awesome!!!
