Reflection 5
My motivation at the current moment I would say is at 75%. I should get it pumped seeing as were half-way done with the semester and I don’t want to get anything less than a B. I usually tend to boost my motivation by listening to motivational music or ill go and have an introspection moment and figure out what I want and what I’m going to do to get there. One thing I should watch out for is my laziness the thing kills me when I try to get things done piece of crap. But oh well just got to deal with it. I'm hoping to be able to pull it together and get everything I need to do by the end of the semester. So seeing as how I sort of got this thing down I should be good and just wait and see what happens haha. For some reason writing two hundred and fifty words is harder to write than I thought I would rather be writing an essay. At this very moment I’m trying to get an interview with a History Prof for a project for read 96. One major reason Im looking forward to is summer the beach and my board have my name on it so that is also motivational. So all in all I’m going to do work get shit done and enjoy the quick break before the next project and squeeze in maybe some COD but I should be able to for sure.

Reflection Post 4
One of my long terms would be to transfer to UCI and dorm there. A midterm goal is to be training for iron man marathon and a short goal would be for me to get myself to do all the small stuff in school so I don’t get slammed latter.
March 13, 2012
Dear, Sis
UC life rocks although it was a pain in the ass to get my stuff straight but it all paid off and I feel pretty damn good about myself knowing I did it. I’m currently pledging with a fraternity so I’ll let you know whether I make it or not, although I’m positive ill make pledge. My training for the iron man is going great as well I’m able to run 14 miles at a decent time It could and will in prove so I’m not that worried it’s my swimming though that’s killing me once I’m at the end of the two thousand yards I just die so ill need to do work on that area and the biking part is a breeze. And to let you know sis I am keeping up with all my studies so it won’t bite me in the ass latter in the futer. I’ll keep you posted on things k
Love, Bro

In the past week I have kept up to schedule on most plans everything I needed to do financially got done but only three fourths of my schools stuff did I finish and I didn’t plan it out I usually just did my work here and there throughout the week. I plan for the upcoming week to stay up to date with everything I need to do and if not to manage my time more carefully and get the important things done first. And I hope to accomplish this by one not being distracted as much two taking it easy on the hanging out with friends and three sleeping at the right hours of the day. So this time next week ill put up another blog to see if anything has changed in my actions.

Reflection Post #2
An event that had a major impact on me on a personal level was when I couldn’t be enrolled into a normal high school because of how bad I messed up in junior high, grade wise. I had to be enrolled into an adult continuation school because I didn’t meet the qualification requirements for a high school. I remember walking in the front office on the first day of class with my dad and having to wait to speak with the superintended to find out whether or no I was able to enroll. I was completely nervous on what would happen, When me and my dad finally sat down in the her office to talk to her about me enrolling and how I would be on a academic contract. Stating that if I should fail the courses it could cost me going back to a regular high school and I would have to get my GED at a adult continuation school. And as I sat in that office with my dad reality hit me in the gut that I couldn’t be messing around anymore or else it would cost me deeply. So after that I got my stuff straight and did good and got out by the second semester and was able to enroll to a normal high school, But I remember that meeting with the superintended on how I wouldn’t be able to do the activities of normal high school kid and in my mind I was thinking hell no but now it’s just in the past.

The Things I Carry
The things I carry I sometimes don’t even know, half the time I just brush stuff to the side and tend to forget about it but later it comes back at me like a baseball bat to the face. I carry love, gratefulness, family, my dog umm I’m not good at opening up ever since I was a kid I still have the issue today as you read this. I care for my dad I look up to him and respect him the most out of any one I know. Half because he is my dad but the other half because of what he has accomplished with his life as an individual who has struggled and worked hard for what he wanted. I carry determination for anything I do whether it be from surfing to having to go through an hour of my grams trying to teach me how to knit which at first I thought random but I realized that it meant a lot to her spending time together even if it was knitting. I carry a passionate hate to those that mess with my mods on my HBP. I like to literally carry my hiking pack when I hiking. So this is a quick writ of the things I carry. I know we had to get on a deep level and ill end up getting marked down points because it’s not really what the requirements are but the next one will be more adequate.
