On Monday, I will be starting summer school at Blinn. I’m taking English Composition (freshman English that I skipped for 3 years) and Intro to Speech. I will buy the books on Monday after class is over. My first class starts at 9:35 AM and the second class ends at 1:35 PM. I’ll grab lunch then go to work from 3 to 7 PM. I have the feeling that I’m going to be really busy writing papers and speeches; we’ll see.
Tonight, I’m planning to go see Hancock with a friend, but if I don’t get a call soon, I’m going to go see it on my own at 9:45 PM. Lately I’ve been watching a lot of movies, either online, via Netflix, or in the theaters. I’m trying to work my way through a list of movies I’ve wanted to see before school gets started and I don’t have time. (The previous is an example of a poorly structured, mostly likely, run-on sentence.)
I’ve posted my Washington vacation photos in the Photos section of the blog. If you take a look, I hope you enjoy and will post comments.

“Success will come with patience.” That was the last advice I got in a fortune cookie at T. Jin’s. So far, I have lived by that motto. I work hard everyday, at work, school, or play. Always giving my best effort, I usually succeed, but when I don’t, I just keep going. You can look at the token in that light, or you can look at it in a different light.
“Success will come with patience.” You have to wait for success to come. You’re unsuccessful now, but maybe in the future, if you wait patiently, success will come. Obviously, I try to look at it in the first more optimistic frame.
What is success? Is it becoming the CEO of a Fortune 100 company, making millions of dollars, and marrying the perfect trophy wife? I don’t think so. I think of success as doing my best everyday, enjoying my work, and leading a life in service to God.
Ok, so today I’m packed and getting ready to fly to Seattle this evening. Last week, I watch the first 3 seasons of The Office. I don’t know how I missed the train on this show! It is so hilarious! I’ll catch up on season 4 on Hulu.com.
I’ve watered my plants for the upcoming week, I’m pretty sure they will be fine. I have about sixteen magazines, fourteen hours left on an eBook, eighteen podcasts, and about 4000 songs I can listen to for the trip.
When I get back, I plan on buying a mini-fridge. I’m excited about buying one; not sure why, I just am. Yesterday, I bought a new wireless router for the apartment. The previous roommate removed the router that had been there, causing the internet to not work right. It’s all fixed now.
Yesterday, I also had my parents pay for Blinn and I filled out my FAFSA. There are so many things to do before you go on a long vacation.
I will be posting pictures, locations, text, and more online as the trip progresses.
A lot of things are happening for me right now and in the near future. Last Saturday, I moved into my new apartment. I’m really excited about it. I had to rearrange my room quite a bit to make everything fit, but I’m happy with how things are.
On Monday, my family and I are flying to Seattle until the 17th of June. I will definitely be posting stuff from Washington. On July 7th, school will be starting at Blinn. I’m taking Freshman Composition and Speech; two classes that I’ve just been putting off. Well, I have to get up early tomorrow, so goodnight!
