How can I make use of this space?

Something great that happened today #1

I made a sliding catch in the Psi Chi Faculty Student softball game. It felt great and I have some nice road rash on my leg to prove it. Meeting a bunch of new people and having fun playing a sport I forgot how much I enjoyed. In other news my dad tried his first veggie patty and was pleasantly surprised by how good they tasted. I was surprised he enjoyed them and overjoyed that he is making an effort to accommodate my vegetarianism. Things are getting better all the time : )

Day 2

I am sore all over, but I am very happy. Not sure if it is because of the flood of endorphins from the exercise or from feeling excited about summer and other joyous things.

P90X Day 1

My girlfriend and I have decided to take part in P90X. I weighed in at 158. I do not care about losing weight I am perfectly happy with my body, my main incentive is to become healthier and more fit. Less panting after playing a game of soccer or tennis. Time to gain some endurance. I'm not sure I like the main guy, he kind of annoys me but I am channeling my frustration into pushing myself to do more of the exercises.

So for the select few

I have been making my main blog more personal and want to still make use of this one. I am looking for suggestions for what you are interested in seeing more of. PLEASE!

All right dream log coming up I had quite an eventful night! First I was at Coachella and we were early and parked but then I realized we just parked in the regular spots not the ones for camping and was freaking out and didn't think we were gonna get a good camping spot and had to run back to the car and move it but it was ok I averted the crisis. Next dream I was playing soccer for some German team (no relation) haha it was quite odd and then out of nowhere Jennifer Lawrence shows up. Next dream which might be partially inspired because I watched Cowboys vs. Aliens a night ago. It started out as a game of capture the flag between old high school friends, then all the sudden there was a killer monkey that was the size of the aliens in the movie which are pretty damn big (Sasquatch size) and we had to kill it because it was attacking us. Then there was a ton of them coming at least 20 and we had to kill them too it was quite stressful. I think there was one more dream but I can't remember sorry.

It has been a while...again so let us begin. In the shower this morning I was thinking about things that I enjoy doing and opportunities from the past that I missed out on. Meta-cognition brought me to the conclusion that I have learned if there is something that I am hesitant about doing I should probably do it because I will probably have more fun than I expected and grow from the experience.

This is from a few weeks ago but some friends and I went to the San Diego Zoo at night around Christmas time and had a blast. The most memorable parts were definitely the hyenas and the mountain lions. I stared at each of them for at least 5 minutes thinking about what was going on inside their heads, fixated on their eyes that seemed to say so much. I'm not sure what they were saying which is why I would still be staring if the group hadn't wanted to move on haha. Oh and the gif would make more sense if you could see the lights of the gorilla moving back and forth but you can't so we just look weird.

This is what I’m telling myself tonight after rolling my ankle playing basketball with a friend.  It has been awhile, but I guess now I’ve got some time now so here we go. The last two weeks I have been working with my dad and reading. I started The Hunger Games Friday the 23rd and finished Christmas Eve. I was hooked instantly and am still in awe at Suzanne Collins’ ability to have a constant level of suspense throughout the entire series. Just when things start to calm down you know there is a twist and turn maybe a complete 360 coming your way and even when you expect it it still surprises you and leaves you sitting there with your jaw on the floor paralyzed for a few seconds until you realize you must continue and find out how they deal with this new event. I just finished Catching Fire last night and plan on moving on to the final book tonight. I got paid today for work and was excited about the weekend and the injury has dampened my spirits a little bit but Tumblr and Mockingjay will have to do. There aren’t many of you that read this but if you want to talk I do.

So it has been a while since I have reflected. Finals have been over for a little now and I'm pretty sure I will reach my all A goal for this semester. I also found out that I was accepted as a Psychology Undergraduate Advisor for SDSU which is quite exciting and I feel as if I am really going to be getting involved and doing important things. I'm also excited to pick new classes for next semester. This is the main theme of this post, I feel lucky to be able to go to school and learn new things from so many different people in and outside of the classroom and want to take full advantage of my opportunities. My dad landed a big job and could possibly avoid loosing his house and I now have an opportunity to earn the upcoming semester's tuition. Things are really going well. I'm not sure if tumblr has had a positive effect on my life or if it is just coincidence that things are looking up, but either way I like the results and I think reflecting on my goals and feelings are beneficial and rewarding. I have begun to post positive quotes and until I figure out a better method to pass on my happiness to others it will have to do. Any suggestions? I would really like to listen to anyone who has been courteous enough to read this.  Thank you for listening : )

Love the set your goals , :)

thanks stole it from my Learning Psychology course I'm studying for haha

Set your goals

Set hard, but reachable goals.

Set specific, not general goals.

Commit yourself to the goals, tell your friends.

Seek feedback and rewards from others and yourself.

Today in Physiological Psychology for our last lecture we talked about obsessive compulsive disorder hence the song. We also talked about monism vs. dualism and whether or not your mind and body are connected or separate. It was a tid bit sad because my professor is great and I value every word that comes out of her mouth. That was a class that I would always leave with some new bit of information I had to share with someone. I guess I will just have to pick some more good classes next semester, I can't wait : )

Is it hard to get into SDSU?

Not too hard there aren't any personal statements just filling out your information. College is all what you make of it. Anywhere you go if you want to learn you can you don't need a classroom to do that.

Today I had a spanish presentation that I was stressing out for that went a million times better than I expected! I don't do well in public speaking situations but I talked for over 4 minutes without any notes about the movie Machuca. Te recomiendo verla. After finishing up the rest of class i got an unexpected invite to play tennis! wohoo! I hadn't played in a while and it was great fun. Time for Dezhay to mix, farewell I must get my disco dance on...life is good...TO INFINITY AND BEYOND!

I had such a great time yesterday with Dezhay and Garrett! The mountain got 16 inches of fresh snow the night before we drove up and they were making snow all day the conditions were perfect! I had the biggest smile on my face the whole day tried some new features and it felt awesome; I can't wait to do it again!
