I just thought I would shoot out some updates on a few things about the coming summer, and fall semester.

Living Situation

Well, things are looking up in the living situation. For those of you that don’t know, I was in a little bit of a pickle (and pickles are only good with chicken sandwhic..iches? Sandwiches, yeah sandwiches, spelled that way).

I am currently living a perfectly able apartment out on Telshor Blvd, but it’s just a wee too far from campus, and given how much I am going to be at campus next semester, having a motorcycle and all, it would be a lot easier if I could just trot back and forth.

So me and Spencer, and friend I met through a friend, and going to start looking for a place next semester. I’m pretty excited, Spence’ is a really cool guy, and although I’m totally down with meeting new people and all, it’s going to be nice to live with him. We may even get another girl in on it, Shea. I’ve always hated living alone, it will be nice to have roommates again!

School

I would like to take some classes this summer, specifically this one class I can’t seem to concentrate on, but if I can finally pass it, I’d have an Associates in Graphic Design out of the way. I remember I used to make fun of the transfer students that got out of Graphic Design and went on to major in Nursing or whatever, and here I am, doing the same thing.

Philosophy & Psychology

There are some areas of interest that seem to stand out in my life:

Tennis (wide scope of critical thinking, training and business), teaching, writing about how to live life, and helping people with everyday problems.

After sitting down and writing my thoughts on what to major in, in my little notebook, I found these things standing out.

After researching, I’m starting to think that majoring in Philosophy and Psychology (not quite aware which should be the minor), will help me in all these areas, which I could dabble into each or excel in one. Plus, I would really love studying these areas, and I’m sure my interest will help me pass the classes. I declined the idea of majoring in business, because I knew if I hated the classes, it would show :).

Work

I am totally committing myself this summer and fall to completing my biggest project yet, the College of Business website at NMSU (Cobweb).

I’m struggling with the pay, and maybe a little bit with the hours, maybe that’s something that can be worked out later, but for now, I’m pretty excited about the work I am doing. We are really going forward with it, and using some real critical thinking in it, so it’s fun and engaging.

Tennis

Tennis, for once, has been on the back-burner. I have been focusing a lot on other things, because tennis is just one of those things in my life that are not for sure. But, I am developing well as a player, and Ivo Karlovic (CRO) is keeping my hopes alive about, one day, playing in my late twenties. I mean, nothing is definite, but I do plan on playing in tournaments, one at a time, and seeing where it takes me.

I’ve made it a staple mental note to remember: quality/quantity. Even if I am playing at a lower level (non-professional, against the best), doesn’t mean my level of playing is there.

I still practice hard everyday, and it will be even more so this summer. By the way, I do need to think a little more on this, about using my summer, maybe I shouldn’t take any classes, although I have a zillion scholarships from spring semester just sitting there, waiting to be used. (Hmmm)

But, I really need to start winning some matches, before I can really take myself seriously about playing in Futures again.

Overall, things have been looking up, I try not to worry so much about it all, but just act when I see an opportunity, and I hope I can keep it up, and they’ll take me somewhere.

So, recently, I completed the web designers nightmare: Designing my MySpace page!

I usually don’t admire anything to do with my MySpace Page, but I was bored, and actually got a nice design going. You can’t just neglect the design of any page, just because it lacks any web standards and is still built using table design from the olden days.

[But you can sure go ahead and hate it!]

The theme is Peace, Love and Wisdom because those are a few things I hold close towards living my life. Especially recently, where I’ve learned that having a passion in something sometimes comes without peace, love makes that worth it, and wisdom gets you through it all.

It’s all pimped-up complete with some awesome jams, Belief by John Mayer and a video, If I had Eyes by Jack Johnson, from his recently released album Sleep Through the Static.

I used a modified version of an old graphic I created in Summer 2006 called Gone to create the background, and I thought a dim Grey would suffice for everything else.

So, just putting that out there, that yes, I’m no longer prejudice towards poorly put together code.
