Beach or School?

Well it’s official. The weekend is here and the Toreros have made it through the first week of spring semester. It seems the general consensus on campus was that no one was ready to be back, not to mention the sunny weather making everyone want to go to the beach. But instead I had to go to classes and start doing homework. This semester, I have mostly business classes due to my marketing major. But the good news is I am taking a half-credit course at the Wavehouse, where you ride an artificial wave that always has a perfect 10 foot barrel. This is what gets me through each week, and the fact that I don’t have classes on Friday makes the week even shorter.
So looking forward, I’m sure this semester is going to fly by just like last semester. It seems that each semester goes faster than the one before it. Before I know it I’ll be looking for a job and will be graduating. But for now I will stick to my job at the gym and as the mascot. The highlight of being the mascot is the fact that I will be traveling to Las Vegas with the basketball teams for the WCC tournament during my spring break, which is coming up much quicker than expected.
In closing, it looks like it is time to buckle-down, get my work done and have an awesome semester.

Getting back into the swing of things...

So when you say goodbye to the beautiful, sunny San Diego weather of 70 degrees and end up in snowy, 19 degrees New Jersey for a whole month; what do you do to pass the time? Well for me it ends up being spent underneath cars in the auto shop I work at, volunteering for the first aid squad in my town, and playing video games when I should be finishing my RA application. So I keep busy at home because this break is very long but at the same time very needed. You will learn that school work never stops during the semester and if you slack off it is very easy to fall behind. This is why I keep busy at school with extra-curricular activities and at home with a job. So the more I keep busy during breaks the easier it will be to get back into the swing of things at school, which is coming up a lot quicker than I expected.
So I never got to post the last blog before I got to school and now here I am at school. It is the last day before classes start and everyone is running to the bookstore to maybe get books and mostly try and get a better deal online somewhere. But it is great seeing all my friends after a month away and find out what happened during their breaks. But now it’s time to get my mind set to having to study and writing papers.
