Okay, so I see it has been quite a while since I have actually written something about my life, mostly because my life has been rather busy. The culture of college is kind of starting to get to me. Before this semester, I knew I had to do certain things, get grades up and go to class yet I don't know if I put as much effort into it as I should have. Well, this semester it is hitting me. The classes are hard, Differential Equations, Physics, and a third year Politics class about the Ethics of technology. Where I find I enjoy the lecture in all of these classes, the differential equations class makes me feel as if I am actually learning a higher level of math instead of just kind of passing through it, the Politics professor is awesome in posing thought provoking questions that make us reflect on the world around us, and the Physics professor does so many in class demonstrations, you can't help but be intrigued with the laws that bind nature. However, all of these classes are difficult! Take physics: since the professor is busy doing the demonstrations, he doesn't have time to work out example problems, and thus for the most part isn't actually teaching just showing us that the principles are all around us. It just stinks to have such a hard course load, at least it is difficult to me, and then try and find time to do things I want to do for myself. Like right now, as I speak, I am feeling overwhelmed by the amount of work I have to do for this week. I have about 70 physics homework questions to answer before Wednesday, I have a politics test on Wednesday afternoon with two chapters I still have to read, I have a lab report for my physics lab due on Wednesday morning, I have a differential equations test on a week from Tuesday and I am sure a physics test is on the way. Also, I just remembered I have to do a short write up on a jazz concert I had to attend for my music class. All this is stacked up because I took a day for myself! Here is what I did instead of all the work at hand. Me and two of my friends, Donald and Josh, drove to Austin yesterday to visit Tracy and two of her friends, Laurel and Lindsey. Me and Donald have visited them all before but this was the first time for Josh. Anyhow, Friday night we were up late playing Xbox, then had to leave Richardson by 8:30 Saturday morning. We then spent the day hanging out in Austin and Lago Vista. It was a lot of fun, but leaving at 8:40pm from Austin heading toward Dallas made for a late/long drive. We got back to Richardson about 10 after midnight upon which we stopped by Josh's apartment to get his stuff and then I drove him to his home in Irving as his family was moving from their home to a new location today, Sunday. All in all, I got to my apartment to stay for good around 1:30 am. It was a loooooong day. When I got home I talked to Tracy on the phone for about an hour as if the entire day together wasn't enough! She is a wonderful person and I am very glad she is in my life. It took a while for me to see what I want, but now I do and I think she is a better person than my ex. She makes me laugh and doesn't bite my head off about everything. I can't wait to see what the future holds for me, but right now I need to get some school work done if I even intend to have any kind of free time later on! Love ya all, Aaron
