day 307. [maxed out]

I was maxed out yesterday. On stress levels. On motivation to get work done. Even my tears that I could cry [3 break downs]. I will leave you with three different messages.


Dear Organic Chemistry,
You aren't funny, so don't even try and make a joke out of me.
----------
Dear Ethics,
Let's be honest, I don't care about modern ethical theories and the "schizophrenic split" that has occurred because of the lack of motives that justify our actions. I just don't care.
----------
Dear English Professor,
You do realize that you are getting this message because you are at fault for one of my breakdowns yesterday. You're not very funny either. In fact, I'm not sure if you're capable of any emotions ... :\

Sincerely, Rick!

day 306. [guy love]

After a long day, where I didn't actually get to sleep, full of doing homework here and doing homework there. Meeting so-and-so here and meeting so-and-so there. I ended up FINALLY coming back to my door with this lovely message from my good buddy Tony.

Let's just say that there isn't anything for you to worry about. This is normal behavior from the both of us towards each other ... haha. Just don't worry about anything :)

day 305. [prof. moore]

For those that aren't in college, get in the habit of studying with a group of people. I have yet to go through a class where I don't study with anybody before an exam. It's so helpful. It's honestly an opportunity for everybody in the group to play teacher. It's the only way I've managed to do well in majority of my classes.

PS. I should mention that this is the first photo of the "11th Month." Only so many more photos to go!!

day 304. [fall 2011]

As I noted a few posts ago, I'm now officially a Psychology/Pre-Dental Major versus the Biology/Pre-Dental Major that I declared nearly two years ago when I applied to the University of Portland. It's crazy to think that next semester will be my 5th Semester in College.

Fall 2011, here I come!

day 303. [ewc]

Those Encounter With Christ kids came back today from an amazing weekend. I cannot stress enough that everyone should apply to go on Encounter. It doesn't matter whether you believe in  God or not, it's just an awesome retreat where you become friends with people you never would have been able to meet. It's a retreat that makes you feel so much better. Loved it.

day 302. [potluck]

Had good food with good people after a good Vigil Mass and before a good worship session. Yeah, it was good ;)

day 301. [baseball]

So I watched a UP Baseball Game today. My first UP Baseball game ... ever. In fact, I don't even think I watched any baseball games for the Wildcats when I was in high school. Now that I'm out of high school I still don't plan on watching any of them, haha.

Unfortunately, some of the other photos from today didn't turn out. I'll be honest with you the real highlight of my day was getting to hang out with a few people from FISH. We definitely built community and bonded as friends and family. It was truly a moment of the day in which I said to the group, "Look, we didn't even have to go out to have fun."

Evenings like tonight will definitely be the memories that definitely made college what it was. Love my friends. Love God.

For the mean time though, enjoy this baseball picture of a former Villan #30 (Chris Johnson)
