Dreams

- I've been having a lot of dreams lately. Really detailed dreams. Some of them are long, some are short, some are really violent, some are really nice and fun, some are those kind where you are completely knocked out and they feel completely real and leave you disoriented when you wake up because you have to slowly figure out that they weren't. I really enjoy my dreams for the most part but last night was the worst kind. They're the kind where I'm half awake and half asleep all night and the only goal of my dream is to get whoever is bothering me to leave me alone and let me go to sleep. I haven't had one since early freshman year and I used to get them all the time in highschool. Let's hope this trend doesn't continue.

- On a different note I'm excited for it to stop snowing. There's been snow on the ground for over 40 days and you never realize how much there is to do on a nice day outside until its cold and miserable for over a month with no end in sight. I'm excited for the summer. I'm ready to not have to study every night to keep up with my school work. I'm even excited to get a job and start making money so I'm not dead broke. I can't wait for boche ball, the pool, having barbeques, fishing, sleeping with my window open, and finally getting out and exploring all there is to do outdoors in Fort Collins.

- Its gonna be interesting to see where I am come this summer. The next few months could go either way for me but I'm sure I'll be in one piece at the end. But then again thats easy to say now before I have to start worrying about things like finals. We'll see.

- So after 3 hours of class and 4 four hours studying and reading in the library, I'm suprisingly feeling real good about my classes. Sure I'm going to be taking 18 killer credits and my classes are tough, but contrary to first impressions, I'm really interested in everything I'm taking. All that time spent in the library reading roughly 100 textbook pages seemed to fly by cause I actually cared about everything I was reading. It may be all talk since it was the first time this semester doing any serious studying but it helps when I walk away from such a situation with a good impression.

- Otherwise things are good. Things keep happening everyday that a couple of years ago would have started a storm in my life but I've learned how brushing things off and taking things in perspective can smooth everything. As always I need to do a proverbial knock on wood because maybe I've just been real lucky so far but its amazing how much drama is in the mind.

- I'm in a weird place right now. It's hard to explain and it's really not necessary to. Sometimes I feel like I'm no different than the dad in Big Fish, living a spectacular life patched together from a collection of memories, stories, and ideas. And stranger still, I love every second of it. People commonly talk about extraordinary acomplishments they need to die happy. For whatever reason I'm there, granted I'm not ready to die and have so much I want to acomplish. Its a good feeling being fulfilled in day to day life though.

- Sometimes I'm too obnoxiously philosophical even for my own taste and if that bothers you I'm sorry. I said it before. 2007 is gonna be a big year for me.

Spring Semester 07

- Classes start in about two hours and the omens aren't good. I had a long dream last night that I woke up late for class (which is crazy seeing as it starts at 2) and then my classes ended up being a good 4 miles away. After a crazy adventure involving Julie and Jenna as my tour guides through mine filled backyards in Greenfield I finally arrived at my building (which looked suspiciously a lot like Grandview) to find I was locked out. So in order to play damage control I decided to try my assignment for the class which involved breaking into Elitches since I forgot my wallet and riding two rollercoasters in the park. I did so successfully and was bragging about it to the people I was with when I woke up. I wouldn't call that an ideal first day back to school.

- The omens don't end there however. After waking and being glad that I was actually dreaming and quickly looking at the clock to make certain I wasn't late, I got online to find out exactly when and where my classes are. As always RamWeb was down in the clutch situation and it took a little creativity to find out where my classes were instead of waiting around as the clock ticks down for ramweb to come back up.

- Those aren't good signs.

Semester #4: The Beggining

- I let my updates on this thing slip for a bit there. Sorry to anyone that cared.

- I've been back in FoCo for about a week now and I'm really enjoying it. I still have yet to put away all my stuff and settle in for the semester. Its real hard finding the motivation when over the last week I've had almost no responsibilities and had nothing required of me at all. It's too bad that real life isn't like this cause I could get used to it. But, I guess I need to enjoy it while I can cause classes start Monday.

- College is a weird existance. Truely one of a kind. I like it.

2007

- So it's a new year. I don't normally make a big deal out of new years. It's always seemed like just another day to me when I wake up the next morning. But this year is different. There's something about the number 07' and how it's approaching the end of the decade that helps put the whole thing in perspective. Big years like 03' and o5' where I felt I did a bulk of my growing up suddenly seem like really far away and in turn it makes me feel really old. I can't decide if it's a good thing or a bad thing, but regardless, I'm getting older and things that seem like they just happened yesterday are suddenly in the distant past.

- I've got a feeling this is going to be a big year for me. Bring it on 2007.
