Term-ination

(Titles are really the only places in this blog where I can use puns.)

So, I've waited for just the perfect time to start really getting my act together. I've tried to do it a few other times, but it just didn't happen. And now, when most of the assignments are done, most of the test are taken, now that most all has been said and done about this term, now I finally start really getting things together. Though even now I will only get things together if I keep things going the way I have the last few days. There will likely be great consequences for my actions or lack-there-of. But perhaps if I figure out how to really study and do this whole school thing, perhaps I could at least make the terms to come worth the lesson learned this term. This term could still mean something.

This has been a term of
change
discovery
frustration
elation
learning
and learning to forget.

This term has forced me to take more responsibility,
and has forced responsibility on me.

This term has caused me to
think
focus
remember
appreciate
and realize how little I really know.

This term has forced me to forgive
others
and myself.

This term I have watched myself let go of old friends who are near by,
and hold on to older friends who are far away.

Kuh-Chunk!

Good afternoon ladies and gents. We ought to be landing in less than 4/3 of the hour, or 29 minutes. Upon take off you may feel some slight turbulence. Setting your seat to the massage setting could, however, minimize the effects. Of course there is always the off chance that this could also increase the discomfort of the ride. If you look out on the left wing you can wave at our pet monkey; we call him Jim-Jim. And if you look to your right you might notice that the entire right wing has been painted as a near exact replica of the Sistine chapel ceiling. Please enjoy your flight. And should you have the urge to smoke, feel free to step out on to the wing and enjoy our in flight movie "Gone With the Wind."

Hey Everyone! I know, it's been a while since my last post. But I'm still alive...I think...I mean, I'm still in this world. That's got to mean something.
I tell ya', it has been a really intense couple of months. What with work, and school, and everything else. I've been learning a lot. History, music, life, and self have all been major areas of learning for me this past few months. A lot of stuff--especially in the realm of history--I've heard before, but it never really meant anything to me. I didn't understand the point and why it mattered. So after hearing some of these things for the last 10 years it's finally making a little sense. Context my friend.
Work has been great. They've been giving me more and more responsibility. On the one hand, it can be pretty intense and at times frustrating. On the other hand, it's so much fun when everything works out. This job is definitely working on my focus. If I'm not paying attention to what's going on and what's coming up next, I could completely mess up the whole thing. So far I haven't run into any really big mess ups. I've had a mic feedback I think twice, but nothing too bad.
Well, I need to go practice some piano. I have keyboarding class in an hour.
