The First Week Of My Last Year

This is very frustrating, I had just composed a beautiful blog and was trying to put a video in it and I lost the whole thing!!!! Here it goes again.]

Well school is back in session and with one week down there are only 175 more days to go, but whose counting. I am loaded this first semester I have three AP classes; Comp., Calculus, and Physics. The end of the day however is a little easier with strength training. So by the end of the day I am drained both physically and mentally. It feels good to be back in school were gaining knowledge is the name of the game. A friend used to always tell me "Learn a lot" as we parted ways in the hallways. Is school all about learning and knowledge or has it become more grade oriented, think about that. With no after school activities I was forced to find my own. After school on Tuesday I went to Boarder and bought a book I am very excited to read and then Emma and I went over to The Muse to browse the store and visit our friend Ashley Guilday, The Muse is not a very Manly store. Then on Wednesday John Yoho and Ashely came over to have dinner with the family. John saved all of the pigs life's since he was the one who reported the escape. On Thursday I went to praise band practice which was fun. Then their is the state fair which was this weekend. I didn't do as well as I hoped; two of my pigs didn't make weight and I didn't place well in fitting and showing but there is always next year. I might be going down again tomorrow.

My last blog was not up to snuff with the quality that I like to pump out, so I will no longer be writting my blogs before I type them, and I hope you all find this one better than the last. I will end this blog with a couple of thoughts and than share a new perspective that I have found.

My first though has to do with life and the inspiration comes some from my inspiration wall, but mostly from a viedo that was played on the TV show ICaught, if I can't manage to get it up It is called Three Words (More) and can be found on YouTube. The thought is this "Life is more than being Alive" take some time to search for your own meanign, I can't remeber what I was going to say. Please take the time to view the video and apply this to your life, and I think I just got the video so your in luck.

The other topic I have is patience. There are just a few things I would like to discuss about patience. The first being That being patient doesn't mean in activity, just because your be patient and waiting for somethign to happen doesn't necessarily mean you don't do anything. In some cases being patient means being patient in failure. If you try something and it doesn't work don't get frustrated practice patience but keep trying. This only applys for some cases. Another thing to distinguish is to make sure you are really being patient and aren't just really scared of acting. This can be worse than being inpatient because you are only fooling yourself. Last but not least is to not use patience as an excuse for not doing something. Being patience is a good quality but if used in the wrong way can really hinder you.

Last but not least I want to share a new perspective I have on life. This perspective I could begin to see as the end of last school year came near. The new perspective is on school and life, I don't view school as being such a drag anymore and it doesn't seem to take up as much of the day. I mean school is over at 2:15, there is still a lot of daylight left. I also view life as being more than a student as I enter my last year of school I can feel my way of thinking change. There is more of an importance on the future instead of on the past. I am not explaining it very well but I hope you at least get the idea. Overall it has to do with getting older, which is exactly what I found when reading the Bible a day after realizeing this Change of Perspective 1 Corinthians 13:11."When I was child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me." I am not claiming to be a man but this helps sum up some of the change in perspective that comes with age.
