How ya goin?

Thats my new greeting. Its how australians say hello. Its quite catchy and I think it should catch on in the States.
Its been tough these past 8 months. I've been through a rollercoaster of events and all through it I've managed to stay relatively sane.
Its become clear to me though that, family is the most important thing a person can have. Friends are important too, but friends can ditch you in a heartbeat, family is sort of stuck to you for life. I lost a friend a while ago, they moved away, and it was hard. But i've managed to get on with my life. Its hard keeping relationships with people because people are always on some type of path. Its hard just trying to slow down to catch a breath and enjoy life. Why does everyone have to be so uptight all the time, me included. I can't seem to unerstand it. What I do get, is that life is hard and dealing with it is a process that no everyone can deal with. I'm not claiming to be some all knowing human who has everything put together. That is the farthest thing from what I am. I just like to stay as relaxed as possilbe. On the other hand people who treat others badly because they are different disgust me. Apathy is a quality that I despise and just plain ignorance makes me think that m future will be bleak
I strive everyday to be a good person, its something that is instilled in my brain. I dont treat anyone badly for the way they are. I should just get off my high horse and let everyone be.
I should be a hippie.

Namaste

Today so far has been a really peaceful day. I woke up early to get to yoga class and drove to school half asleep with no breakfast in me. Usually I don't do that, but there is a specific reason for that. I suppose that when you eat a heavy breakfast, or any food for that matter before yoga, it could get pretty hazardous for the others the the class room when your stomach starts digesting all of the food you just ate. No one wants to sit next to a windy person if you know what I mean.
So yoga, Ive never done anything like that in my life. I can tell you though, I'm hooked. It is such a calming experience, difficult but really soothing for mind and body. Its a two hour class and we spent the full two hours practising. Some of the positions were a bit wacky but I didn't feel stupid because every one else was doing it with me. After class I felt really energized and bendy, or stretched out.
Its been three weeks of school already and i'm really handling it well I guess. Nothing too hard so far. I know it wont stay that way forever so I'm enjoying it as much as I can, and trying to meet new people at the same time. Thats the harder part I would say. People are always on the go, never really taking a minute to settle down. I'm not that way anymore, or ever was really. I don't know what I am truthfully but i'll figure it out.
Besides school, work, or lack there of, has become a problem. I really need to get more work as a photographer or else i'm going to have to get another job. On the same note, I was just offered my job back at Red Robin. Its tempting because I really need the money but I don't feel the same way about that place anymore. Its like i've moved on from that place. I don't know what i'll do. I have a week to decide.
I've actually been meeting a lot of new people lately. Its been interesting to say the least. School brings out the best in me,I think, and I guess that shows when I meet new people.
I recently found out something about myself that I did, and now realizing it, I think i'm gonna stop. I didnt do it on purpose. Its just an eye thing. Ugh!
And I joined a couple of clubs at school which should be interesting. I think i'll be able to network more with people who I have a lot in common with.
Lifes moving on and I'm caught up in it. Which is a really good thing.

The first week of college is over. The best word to describe it would be hectic. All this week i've been attending all my new classes, meeting new people and catching up with old friends. Its been quite overwhelming at times. I applied for 5 classes this semester. Its going to be tough, I know, but this semester my main goal is to not drop a single class. All my efforts these next 5 months will be focused on school. All my teachers seem to be unsually cool this semester. No one is too mean or grumpy. Well one is, my photography teacher thinks he knows just about everything there is to know about photography. He might know everything I don't really know and I'm not going to be the one to point it out if he makes a mistake. He'll probably kill me from a rooftop with a sniper gun. (he used to be in the army). To boot in my human sexuality class the professor had me draw a vagina on the board. Lets just say that my vagina didnt exactly look like the flower it usually is. Anyway school has been exhausting and I can't wait for more.
My birthday was a few days ago. I am officially 20 years old. I can't drink yet, no need to anyway, but I can smoke. So I guess i'll have to compromise. I spent most of the day in school walking up and down mount everest (mt.sac). The damn hills at our school are monstrous. My leg muscles are going to be so buff by the end of the year, trust me. Besides that I went to dinner later that night with the family only to rush back home to do some more homework. It was a "fun day".
Now that i'm busy with school I finally have no free time except on the weekends. This schedule suits me prefectly right now. I need to busy myself with other things. This summer was basically a waste of time,with the exception of my surgeries, I didnt get to do that much. Now that i'm working on my photography and actually enjoying school I can finally focus on bettering my life. Its going to be a postive experience. Soon things will change again and I'll have to adjust to that and I'll welcome it. But i'm rambling so i will end it here. Except first I have to comment on some new music i've been listening to.
Awesome lyrics. Really biting. Catchy tunes mixed with funk and hip hop. Fave TRACK: LDN
Indy sound mixed with scottish pop. Its really good. Fave Track: If she wants me
Really funky sound with classic rock jumbled with it. Really good sound. Fave track: If I never see your face again.
New sound, lots of base. Fave track: 1973, so far.

Well thats my new favorite music. Check it out if you please.
