Ok, i know all of you are probs mad at me because I kind of abandoned this blog... well, guess what?? IM BACK!!! so LETS GET READY TO RUMBLE!!!!!(loud announcer voice)
To start off, i guess i will just sum up summer in like on line. Summer was work, work, and more work. As my friends know, and now the whole world, I work, A LOT! I am manager/boss/crewmember what ever i am of my farm. I just pretty much run everything, so i am always crazy busy in the summer and fall. So because of that, i kind of neglected this, and also hanging with all of my friends:/ But i did manage to make it to logan quite a few times to hang out, and to ogden to party it up with my friends there!
I really dont like sharing my feelings for the whole wide world to know, but for some odd reason tonight i feel like the whole world should know.. I am in a rut... a serious extreme rut!! Why you may ask?? because my whole life, i have always did the same things, school, then work after school. And when summer hits, it is just work work work. And this has gone on for... who knows how many years. But this year is going to be the most epic, amazing, life-changing year i have ever had! I am starting new! A whole new and improved me!!
All summer, i have been dieting, exercising, and tanning. Why? Because i finally decided that I actually cared about how i looked... Mostly impart because of another change i am going to make this year. I think i may actually get serious and date... no more little lets go get a slurpee, or lets go get a snack, or just hanging out.. I mean actual Dating... Plus, all those little outings got quite expensive last year, so i guess i should at least make it worth while. So yeah, i am also growin my hair out.. which is a work in progress... Last year everyone told me to do it, but at about an inch and a half, I would cave and chop it all off and do the oldschool missionary cut, which i think is extremely boring to have for more than a month or two.. so i want to mix it up. My hair is so thick that i have to have it thinned every 2 weeks, or else it becomes a super afro mess! Which is quite annoying, but i love my hair, and yes... i would like it to look nice haha So yeah, Phase one is underway.. New look... CHECK
Now i dont really know what phase 2 is just yet... but i am thinking now that school starts Monday, that I am going to start a new hobby... Since I got out of high School about a year ago, i have felt like something was missing in my life.. I mean really missing. During High School, i was always go go go everyday all year. I was striving to do more things, and do them better. I was FFA V.P, in madrigals, and even was even in the lead cast of our musical "Grease." My life was full of music, and preparing for competitions for madrigals, and for FFA. Now that im out, i decided i need to work for something else. So this year, i am either going to start a singing group, join a singing group, join the jazz band, or find some sort of thing to develop my skills for becoming a teacher.
I really really want to start either an accapella guy/girl group (accapella meaning just voices no instruments or accompaniment for those that do not know), OR (this one is my favorite idea) find a girl that has a great voice and start a duet and learn to play the guitar ( to swoon the ladies). I really miss music in my life. Now that i am in college, i can do what ever i want, but now that i have picked a major, i have to take classes on certain semesters because i want to stay on track so i am not in school for ever and a half. So because i cant join a school choir or group, i will make one and we can practice in our spare time!! Its brilliant i think! hahah I really do love to sing, and play instruments, so i am going to try my hardest to bring it back into my life full swing!
Oh, and i think i know what phase three will be.. but it should probably actually be two, but for now, it will be three lol Number three is Become an A Student!!!!!!!! Last year, i was a slacker. Fall semester came, i moved away from home for the first time, and i thought i was ready for life!! Then SMACK!!!! the end of the semester came and when i got my grades.... well, i was extremely distraught.. I did a little too much socializing and partying, and not nearly enough studying. So spring semester rolls around, and i knew i needed to do better. So i studied a little more, partied a little less, and my grades improved.. instead of a D Student, i was a C student... so i still hadn't improved that much. I passed my classes, but not with a grade i wanted. This year is going to change, and i am really excited too. I am taking 17 credits, which is a heck of a lot, and i have a bunch of hard classes. So why am i so excited??? Well, i have not just made up a goal in my head, but wrote down, well typed at least, a goal to study more than 2 hours a day. Which, i think should drastically improve my grades, as well as set me up for the rest of college i say. I am not going to socialize til 3 in the morning on school nights, and am going to go to bed early, and get up early. They say that early to bed, early to rise is the way to succeed in life. Sleep is the most neglected thing in college i think, and i am going to change... (It will be a process)
So yeah, i know i kind of went overload on this post, but i have so much to say, and school starts in 4 days, so i better get ready, because here comes the new and improved Jake :)
The End.... Now you can stop reading, because i am done... for now
