Not Much Happening, But You'll Still Love It!

Good morning, starshine! The Earth says... HELLO!

So a good week so far here at LU after just one day. But Monday's are the worst days for me, and it went pretty well overall. 

Got my Scrubs poster in today. Not for me, I bought it for a friend as a very late and overdue Christmas present. I bought myself a hat which should be in  by the end of the week, as should my contacts and my free Hydrive stuff. The USPS is working hard on me this week...

Classes are going just fine, no complaints. I'm coming home this weekend, which is pretty awesome! I get to work a Radio Disney event on Friday night, and hopefully hang out with some friends Saturday night. And of course, playin' music on Sunday at church. Should be a fun weekend.

Having a Subway within 1 mile of this school is ridiculous. It's not too bad on my waist, but it's hurting my wallet for sure. Ah well, this weekend will get me some decent cash hopefully.

I'm out. Thanks for reading.

Update

Hey everybody.

Don't have much time to post, but I figured I would let you guys know that Max and Joe (the story I'm working on) has recently hit a bit of a block. But I should have a new post on there by the end of the week. Peace out.

Splurgin

I love relapsing.

Not really. But after about a week of eating nothing but salads, cottage cheese, fruits, and drinking water, I finally splurged just a little tonight. Had some Subway--but with Lite Mayo on wheat bread with Diet Coke. Although admittedly, I just used some change to go get some Hostess Cupcakes. Ah well. Splurging felt pretty good tonight.

But yeah. My eating healthy is going pretty well. I don't really look different, but I feel a lot better (except tonight, I already feel a bit sick). Yeah, this new eating plan is going really good for me.

School's going alright. I get my Chaucer test back on Monday, which I felt pretty good about at the time. I got 100% on the last quiz. Philosophy is getting pretty decent, and my teacher seems more stable as of late. And Fundamentals of Internet is the Fundamentals of using a Keyboard recently.

P.S.--For you skeptics, yes the Hydrive story was true. And the day I get it, I will sport that shirt proudly to proclaim my love for that drink.

Peace out.

Free Stuff from Hydrive!!

Hey, hey, hey!

So remember about a month ago or so when I was constantly talking about how much I liked Hydrive engergy drinks (which I still do)? Well, this morning I got an e-mail from (I kid you not) the main head of marketing for Hydrive Energy Drinks. She saw this blog and is sending me free samples and a Hydrive t-shirt since I talked up the product! Pretty awesome, huh?

That being said, I would just like to say that Hydrive is a really good product that we should all partake of as much as possible. It's an energy drink that isn't bad for you--perfect, right? Yes, this was my shameless plug to a company giving me free stuff, but that's okay. You know I would have talked about Hydrive even if they weren't cool enough to send me some stuff. 

Which is leading me to try this. I absolutely love Chevrolet cars, especially any 2009 Corvettes. I could talk about them all day. Now I just need THEIR marketing person to stumble across my blog... fingers crossed!

So yeah. I thought that was pretty exciting and I just thought I would fill you in. Mom, you should get a package next week from Hydrive with all my cool stuff. Lata, dudes!

Welcome Back (You're Dreams Were Your Ticket Out)

Hey! Long time no blog!!

Sorry guys. I've been a bit swamped with homework... that's my story and I'm stickin' to it. It has been a pretty busy couple of days here at LU, what with tests, homework, and Work and Learn (where I suddenly have to work.... darn boss changing his ways). Anyway, this was just my apology for not blogging in a while. That said, here we go!

So yeah. School's going just fine. I live in the dorm on campus with the Fraternity on the 1st floor, and they were doing some Rush Events so I went down just to see some people I knew. Met a few really cool guys (and got free coffee and snackcakes). I don't plan on joining or anything, but the guys down there were pretty cool. It was good to go chill.

I have been hanging out with Jimmy more lately, too. Which is a good thing because he's actually one of the funnier people I know when we hang out. He has rehearsal tonight, tomorrow night, and is going home this weekend, which means I have the dorm to myself!!

I probably won't do much of anything. Just chill and work on a paper I have due next Friday in that great time-suck that is Chaucer class. My teacher is a decent guy, and I can't lie, the story is picking up a little bit. It's not as bad as it was when I first started, truthfully (or as Chaucer would say, forsooth and verily!). 

Philosophy is...philosophy. My teacher is quite the character, and she just became Dr. Douchant as of last Wednesday (apparently she got her Ph. D. in smoking the reafer--kidding). 

Well, that's about all I have to say. I am not coming home for the weekend (try not to cry everyone). But I will be back on the 27th to work some Disney events and see all my family and friends again. Until then, I'm out. Peace.

A Short Blog From A Short Man

"I bet you can't guess what I'm thinking. I'll give you a hint--it's not cat."
"Dog?"
"Nope! Haha. You're dumb."

A few minutes later.

"I bet you still can't guess what I'm thinking. I'll give you the hint again--it's not cat."
Pause.
"Is it cat?"
"AH! Get out of my head!!"

And with that, another blog begins.

So not much happening up here at The Wood; everyone's just kind of floating through the days around here, waiting for Spring Break. I am just waiting 'til Friday, which is drawing closer everyday.

The healthy eating is going pretty well today, technically Day 4 on the program. In an unrelated health story, I woke up in the middle of the night with searing pain in my right calf, and it still hurts when I walk. I will probably be much more concerned if it persists until this weekend, at which point I could get looked at if it still hurts.

Anyway, I will be going now. Just figured I'd post today. Peace.

The Eating Habits of the Slightly Uninterested

Well, my friends. It has been several days since my last blog. I know you've been waiting with bated breath, so here it is. Ladies and gentleman, the first blog of the second week of February by the 5th oldest boy in the #1 greatest family, Sir Malcolm Jason.

Ha, what an intro. Unfortunately, this blog may not live up to those lofty standards. But I should discuss what has happened in my life this weekend/Monday. First of all, the weather was truly beatiful, especially today--even in the rain, it was gorgeous.

I am working on correcting my bad habits concerning sleep and food. The results? Well, I successfully went to bed an hour earlier last night, woke up at 8 this morning, and felt great. I ate breakfast for the first time in months today. I read online that if you eat 2 whole fruits or vegetables before your meal, it helps burn calories since it takes more calories to digest those items. So today in 3 meals I have had a total of 4 apples and 3 bananas. Oh, and it's healthy to eat salad after a meal, so I had 2 salads today (and I threw a fit when they told me I couldn't have salad at breakfast). Oh, and try 6 glasses of water compared to 2 glasses of diet caffeine-free Pepsi. Check. I was going to write here that I wasn't bragging, but let's be honest: I am. I'm proud of myself for keepin a balanced diet. So yeah, I'm bragging. What of it?

On to the classwork. Oh, philosophy. What can I say? The teacher seemed relatively stable today, and I applaud her for that. Chaucer is becoming the BANE of my existence. And it's not necessarily that challenging; it's boring. I mean why? Honestly? Give me the text in Modern English so I can read it without poking myself with a fork to stay awake.

In Fundamentals of Internet, we learned about blogging: I was an expert. I wonder why....

And then, in Sociology of Gender Roles, we learned about intersex people. It was pretty interesting, but at the same time, as usual, I felt under attack for my gender. Ah well, I don't think she'll grade me differently for it, and if she does, she'll get fired. Then who'll be laughing? HA!

Still waitin' for my federal return to get here.... Oh and when it does, rather than getting to save it or even buy myself something cool, I have to go get a tune-up for my car so it gets better gas mileage. Darn. Vinny(that's my car's name) has been a little sick lately, and his performance has been lacking. I still love the guy to death, but he needs his yearly physical. We've been through a lot, me and Vinny, and as strange as it sounds, I am gonna miss that car when he's gone.

I AM COMING HOME THIS WEEKEND! (He said in exclamation) I am pretty excited. I will have used every article of clothing I have in my dresser as of Friday (perfect timing). So let the laundry fun begin Friday night!!! Well, I should go work on some Video Production work. You stay classy, San Diego.
