Or have I always been like this and no one has had the heart to tell me?

living a happy life should not be this difficult

I have to admit; I am in love with school right now.

But before you question the state of my mind, I want to clarify my statement. I am not in love with waking up at 6:00 am everyday. I am not in love with the way I smell coming out of lab everyday. I am not in love with staying at school until at least 6:00 pm everyday. I am not in love with being away from Norman, OK.

However, I am in love with making a cup of tea every morning and sipping it while in my 8:00 am Biochemistry class. I am in love with the knowledge I come out of class with. I am in love with all the camaraderie that has infected everyone in my class. I am in love with coming home to a freshly cooked meal every night.

So school started 3 weeks ago; but it seems like only yesterday. Everyday seems to move by so quick, and the days become indistinguishable from each other. Free time has become almost non-existent and spontaneous trips, thoughts, and fun have become extinct. I question myself if I find an evening where I do not crack open a textbook.

Google Chrome has this feature where it will list your top sites visited to provide ease of access when first opening the browser. My top 3 a month ago was Facebook, ESPN, and YAHOO! As of now, my top 3 most visited sites are Hippocrates, WebMail, and ESPN. I type my notes in class and often peruse ESPN when I sense a downtime in the lectures.

So all these changes in my life and I am loving every part of it.

I can not sleep. So instead of wasting my energy trying to fight the summer circadian rhythms, I decided to write in my blog. And then, I could not think of anything to write. Bummer...

But after surfing the web, I have stumbled onto something that nobody out there would probably care to read about. I will rank the top 3 movies that have yet to come out this summer that I am very much looking forward to seeing. If you could care less what my opinions are, you probably should not be reading my blog in the first place.

You may ask why this is ranked so far down the list. Most people would have this at the top of the list. However, I have no doubts in my mind that this movie will not be as good as the first one. I don't think there is a lot of new stuff they can put in this movie that was not already in the first one. Plus, it would be weird going to see a movie and having An Mai orgasming to the sight of a CGI Optimus Prime. I will probably not go see this movie at the midnight showing much less the first weekend. Definite second weekend for me.




2. Public Enemies (July 1)
Anything starring Johnny Depp and Christian Bale can not be bad. Christian Bale is quickly becoming one of my favorite actors. Despite having the ego and personality of a douche bag. But this movie sounds like a true guy flick. With mobsters, bank robberies, shootouts, and car chases, it sounds a lot like Heat. And guys can take their girlfriends/dates to this movie. The girls would just be distracted by Depp and Bale. No Homo. I might go see this movie the first weekend.





1. G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra (August 7)
Despite the many bad reviews this movie has already received, and the reported firing of the director even before the editing of the film has been finished, G.I. Joe is my most anticipated movie of the summer. From what I hear though, the fanboys in us will have to forget the cartoon series to fully appreciate the movie. I never really watched the cartoons when I was younger, so I have no problem with that. The trailers look awesome and I can not wait to see the adaptation of this series. Definite first weekend.




Movies I will definitely not be watching:

Bruno (July 10)
I just don't think that Sacha Baron Cohen is that funny. I did not think Borat was funny, and I thought he was horrible in Talladega Nights. This movie looks stupid and I would not waste any amount of money to watch this. I would not pay the $8.50 to watch it in theatre, the $4.00 to rent it, or spend the precious 2 hours of my life to sit through this excuse for a movie. I still do not understand how he is dating that hot red-headed chick from wedding crashers (Picture to the left instead of Bruno)




Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (July 15)
I stopped watching the Harry Potter movies after the 4th one. I never saw the 5th one. Why you ask? The movies never do the books justice because the books are too long and great. What makes the series so great is the side plots and the minor details and the minor characters in the world of Hogwarts. There is just too many things from one book to put into a 2 and a half hour movie. They should have divided each book into two movies. The movies just make it seem like the whole series was about Harry vs Voldemort. It was much more plot than that. So instead of ruining my perception of what has been a great book series, I have refused to watch the remaining Harry Potter movies.


I'm feeling pretty sleepy now, so I'm off to bed.

Edit: Just noticed that it's been a year exactly since I started this blog. Happy birthday to me and to the ones (not millions or thousands or hundreds or even tens) of readers I have out there.

I just got done getting the new layout up. I must say it looks pretty nice. Dare I use the adjective "awesome" to describe it? Yes, I do. It only took me the better part of 4 hours with a length break somewhere in between to put this altogether. I finally got it just the way I want it to. The only thing I wish that it could do is to standardize the length of the page, and if the length of the post is too large, the post would then continue on a second page instead of extending the length of the book. A small detail like that does not ruin the layout though. Lots of props go out to the creator of this template (his/her link is at the bottom of the page.) If you can think of any ways to improve this, (i.e. things that are missing or things that I could change), then please comment and say so.

Coming into the stretch run, just a mere 10 days away now. Excited? Just a little.

Instead of working on my capstone paper, I figured I would enjoy blogging better. I was right. Writing this is a lot more fun than writing a paper for school.

Hibernation is the theme this week.

Four years removed from graduating high school. That many years attending high school graduations after my own. Pretty soon, I am going to be that weird old guy that shows up to all the high school graduations (if I'm not already).

After the events of this past month, I think I'm ready.

NBA game everyday is pure bliss. Lakers FTW.

With school quickly approaching an end, I find myself reluctant to close this chapter on my life. People say the best years of your life are when you're in college. You get to live on your own, away from home. Stay up as late as you want; eat whatever you want; do whatever you want. The freedom that comes with going to college is the most wonderful experience an 18 year old coming out of high school could have.

You eat instant noodles for the majority of your meals, and if you are lucky, you might befriend a freshman who will treat you to some of his/her meal points. You do not have to check in with your parents. There is no asking permission to do this or do that. There is no curfew. You do what you do. There are no more chores to do around the house. No grass to mow. No dishes to do. You can live as messy as you want. No one to get on to you about cleaning your room.

So here I am, four years later, six weeks from graduation. What do I get to graduate into? Moving back into my family home. Sure I went home every weekend when I am in college. It is a nice break from the college life, a chance to check in on my family, eat a nice meal, and do some laundry. However, I do not want to be back here all week. Getting use to this again will be really hard, especially having already experienced the outside. I will miss the freedoms.

I envy those people that live far away enough to not live at home. Going to school downtown does not afford me that luxury. Sometimes, I wish I would have considered going to a school outside of Oklahoma. I wonder what kind of person I would have become.

Just because I am not ready to move back home, does not mean I do not want to. I actually do. I miss having a good meal everyday. I miss seeing my parents everyday. I want to take my cousins to the park and eat ice cream and sno cones. There's no reason not to anymore.

I said earlier that sometimes I wish I went out of state for school. It's still true, but I never regret my decision. I feel I made the best decision. Stayed close with my close friends, and made new close friends.

I am ready to grow up, whatever path that may lead me.
