Following a sun-filled week down in my hometown of Encinitas, California, I find myself back in partly cloudy Eugene for another term of school. As much as I truly miss the California sunshine of walking up and down the beach with my energetic basset-hound, it was nice to cool down and go north for another eleven or so weeks. This term should be exciting!
I am registered for four classes, sixteen college credits total. The time range for all these classes fluctuate from starting at 8-8:30 AM and into the early afternoon at 1:30. In simpler terms, I am finished with my classes by 1:45 PM everyday! Of course, that doesn't necessarily account for all the studying I will have to do on my own. The classes I am taking are: Math 251 (Calculus), Writing 122 (Composition), Creative Writing 240 (Intro to Fictional Writing), and Economics 201 (Intro to Economics).
I believe I do very well this term, with little to no obstacles truly stopping me from excelling in all the classes.
That's all I have to say right now, but I'm sure things will come up that I will be excited to write (or type?) about. Goodbye!

Wait.. I had a blog site? Huh.. funny.
It's been almost two years since my last post on this blog. I feel so... neglectful towards such a powerful such as a blogging site like this. Well, all is well. I mean, even if there isn't anybody actually reading these, it's kind of nice to look back and see the kind of things that are or were important to me at some time.
To say that a lot has happened over the past two years is definitely an understatement. Between April of 2010 and March 13th of 2012, I guess for starters I'll have to start with where I am. Currently, I am an undeclared University of Oregon student in Eugene, Oregon. I graduated from high school in June of 2011 with the intentions of majoring in architecture. Well, after a Fall term of dipping my feet in the water and trying it out, I made the decision in January this year to not major in architecture. Currently, I am possibly looking at a degree in business, maybe product design, or something around those lines. I'm not quite sure right now.
You're probably wondering what exactly prompted my decision to post something on the blog that I created over 3 years ago with the intentions of being used as a tracking record of my path to an education in design. Well, I guess I was just reminded of it recently by a friend and her blog. Maybe it's that.. or maybe it's that I just finished a book titled "Youth in Revolt" by C.D. Payne and find myself inspired to write anything. Last Thursday, for the first time ever, I invested in a small moleskin journal that is small enough to fit in my everyday pant pockets. In this journal, I write EVERYTHING. I don't know why I started it, but it might go back to the book I just finished this evening, because it was written in a sort of diary entry sort of format. Oh well. I can't tell if it's doing me good or bad though. Either way, I definitely find it enjoyable to write down my thoughts.
Well, I know I didn't write that much, but it seems sufficient enough to post. I'm in the tenth week of the winter term (finals next week!) and can almost see the sunny beaches of San Diego waiting for me, as well as my short but awesome basset hound. Oh, and the car I miss so dearly..
Sincerely (after a brief hiatus),
