In The Zone

Well I was going to title this post "Happy Birthday Mr. President Part 2" because just like last year I was recently named the President of the Student Association at Maritime Christian College and today is my birthday... but then I realized that was really the only thing I really had to say about it... so now to the point.

I seem to be having a really hard time getting in the zone lately. Do you know what I mean. That place where you really just get in the swing of things and are productive and efficient and all those great and wonderful things that help you do so well in life. I just can't seem to get myself back in there. I just feel like I'm really swimming against the current lately. Today was my birthday and that's all well and good but I just kind of had a unproductive and down day. I guess I have a lot on my mind. It's just sometimes when you think you have something beat or accepted in your head, your heart tells you that you really don't.

You probably have no idea what I am talking about but that's ok. I'm not batting for sympathy here and I am not trying to be negative. Anyone who knows me knows I try to be positive and tell everyone else to do the same.

The great thing is that even though I struggle with things and sometimes I have down days, my joy is found in God who is my refuge and strength and a very present help in trouble. Joy is so different from happiness because happiness is fleeting and joy is eternal. All in all, it's a good life. But pray for me just the same, that I will get back in the zone.

I Miss My Dog...

Well I have been back in Prince Edward Island for a little over a week now and I should be getting settled back into the routine and I guess I am. Once again reading is my life unless I am in class or doing an assignment and as I have stated in previous blogs I really don't mind it.

I think I am a little homesick though because right now I really miss my Dog. If you don't have a Dog or have never owned one then you probably won't get this but she is a part of my family. I love her to pieces and if you think that's lame then I guess I'm lame.


Her name is Shelby, and I bought her for my Dad a little more then a year ago. I asked for the friskiest female they had and boy did I get her! She is a little fireball that is full of energy. She is too much fun and loves to play but she is so gentle. She's my bud and we spend a lot of time together in the summers. I helped train her and I just kinda miss her right now.

I still kind of miss my other Dog too. See even a little longer ago I lost my almost 15 year old dog Chimo. This was the most amazing Dog the world has known to date. She was one the best friends a boy could ever have. I got her when I was five and she really was the best... anyways I don't really want to get all emotional before I go to bed so I guess I better stop there.

Happy Birthday Blog!

Well today it has been exactly one year since I started a blog of my very own. What an accomplishment. I am sure you are impressed. I originally started this thing because I have always wanted to journal and have lacked the discipline to do so. Sometimes I've been pretty good at a few a week and others pretty brutal with one a month... or less. Then there was that whole incident were every post was about my frustrations with internet! I still struggle with that sometimes! None the less I press on and hope to still be writing this stuff next year... for you the faithful reader... thanks Mom!

Well last year at this time I was informing you that I had just cut my hair all off. What a sad day. I am pleased to announce this year however that I have only had one hair cut since! Man do I look good... ahem.

Well none the less it has been a good year. Happy Birthday blog!

Back to the Books at MCC

Well here I am on the first day of classes at MCC. I only have one class today but I have homework already from a class I haven't even had yet! Oh well, I guess that's the way it goes sometimes! I know that there is a lot of moaning and groaning when it comes to hitting the books again but I really don't mind it that bad. I am actually pretty excited about most of my classes and I do enjoy reading and learning. Plus, this is my last year at MCC and I plan to make the most of it.

I think that is what you have to do with most things, just make the best of it. If you go into anything with a "this is going to suck out loud" attitude then it probably will. Most things in life are what you make them to be. I never wish my time away no matter where I am and I really think that's the way to do it.

Well I guess that is enough for now. Have fun at school or work or whatever you do, and I will try to do the same!

MCC you later!

Ugg that was bad...
