Smiles and Deadlines

Yup. That’s right. The third week of school is upon us, and that usually means that you know the semester is going to be like. This is a good semester it seems because of the classes (and lack of) that I’m taking. 2 math classes, 1 science, and 1 engineering. The lab classes are what take up most of the time, but I’m taking that in the summer. Yea, everybody, I’m staying in College Station for the summer. Who knows what this “opportunity” will hold? Probably lots of studying and maybe an assistant research position. I’m going to start contacting professors next week.

Some of this freed up time has been reallocated to my love, swimming. I didn’t realize how much I missed it until I had time. Now, I wake up early, do school work all day, and then take a “break” to swim 2 miles plus some. I have a smile on my face afterwards. I don’t know what I’m going to do when swimming is going to be sacrificed for studying. :( On Tuesday, I swam 4200m, and it was awesome!

Sometimes in college, it’s easy to forget that life is more than studying, cram sessions, deadlines, etc…, and I think that’s sad. There’s no room to breath, but you have to make time for yourself, even 10 minutes, like even when you’re in the shower, but this is a neccesity. Smiling, laughing, and having fun is the true essence of life. Too bad, there is never enough time to do everything.

I think I’m going home on Saturday for various reason after the girl’s basketball game. Then, I’ll be back on Sunday for Super Bowl Sunday!

I hope everyone has a wonderful day and remembers to smile just once.

P.S. I like pictures, as you can all tell, so here’s a picture of me and a couple of peeps on Friday night.
