Going to a new college, an actual watermark, success, new job?

Readers: Hey everyone I hope all is going great in you're worlds. On my end since that last entry was written quite a few things have changed for the better it would seem so far at least. On January 22nd I started up at CWI (The College Of Western Idaho) which is a community college which has many locations throughout ADA, one over in Canyon County but their main hub is in Nampa. Next week I'll have been going to here for exactly three weeks which is surreal how quickly the time has raced by like that in a blip. So far while it is different I am loving it here at CWI aside from the fact that they don't seem to have that many tutors for Business Statistics but I did find one whom is a very solid tutor and I am thinking this time with his help and me learning to master excel I am really beat Business Statistics 207 for the third and final time. Math 160 will be a challenge no doubt but as a whole I feel like I have a really good professor here at CWI for the class so that...

Sometimes you have to accept failure and move on

Readers: Hey everyone I hope all is going great in you're worlds. On my end I am still mentally coming to terms with the fact that I will no longer be attending Boise State unless I can afford it and on this note while going too school and only working part time I haven't been able to necessarily afford to go to school so my folks have been taking care of it and i've been paying them back. Having so few hours right now prior too i couldn't put myself through school and secondly the deal from my dad was, "Chris if you get F's in these classes you are done!"; low and behold I checked my grades and I got an F in not just Business Statistics but Calculus as well. Yesterday I withdrew from the classes at Boise State, I changed my work schedule at Gordman's to full time (here is to hoping I get some solid hours), and lastly now I am going to start paying rent to my parents which is a real way of driving home the fact that I failed. For me more than anyth...

Starting Fresh

Readers: Hey everyone I hope all is going great in you're world. I can't believe its a whole new year gone is 2012 and today i've been mostly recuperating from last nights ringing in the New Year with best friends John, Travis, Ashley and my friend Rachel and lastly my friend Ross who showed up after midnight and gave me a ride home. Overall I had a ton of fun last night but its official it doesn't matter the cost of champagne it is officially the nastiest thing ever created my mankind. I am currently sitting here listening to the latest Dropkick Murphey's album "Signed And Sealed In Blood" and it is epic as always and also decided it was time to write a new blog considering I haven't written a new one of these since December. Also looking partially at my brand new kindle fire hd that my mom and dad got me which was an incredible surprise and I love reading books on it! Plus you can access facebook and do a lot of other stuff on there as well but o...

Christmas is almost here and may this next year be better

Readers, Hey everyone I hope all's going great in you're world's. I am sitting here in the ILC at Boise State after eating a dinner of left over spaghetti and while reading/almost finishing the newest John Grisham novel called Racketeer and it is a damn good book! I'd highly recommend you check it out. Its a strange thing reading e books considering I have always loved the feel of that new book in my hands but as I have read more and more novels on my computer in the e book format I have grown strangely enough to love it. This past year has been rocky to put it lightly; one hell of an emotional roller coaster I am happy to say I am alive and survived but in ways I think that emotionally speaking I am not truly ready even if the opportunity was to present itself to truly put my whole being into a new relationship. Its a big thing to put all your trust into somebody else and see them all the time and than have that person ultimately be the one that screws with your he...

One year older and other things

Readers: Hey everyone I hope all is going great in your world's. Yesterday I celebrated my 28th birthday with my family which was very nice. As a whole I am incredibly lucky that despite my failings in school as they may be that my parents love me so much and secondly my brothers and my incredible sister in laws and my cute niece and nephew. The little highlight to start things off was when the door opened and my brother Mike got their with my sister in law Jen and my niece Taylor ran in and instantly ran to me wrapping her arms around my waist and hugging me saying, "Happy Birthday Chris" in her little voice and than just because it makes me smile even more I said tell me how much you love me. Its funny the little things that light your world up for me its hearing my little niece tell me she loves me. As I sit here writing this I am now listening to the newest Rihanna album Unapologetic which is a very solid album for sure so far which I am not surprised at all about...

Another Birthday And Hitting The Books

Readers, Hey everyone I hope all is going great in you're world's. I am sitting here listening to the newest Ke$ha album and studying away and doing more preparing for my second business stats exam that I have at two. Overall I defently need to own it but I am having trouble getting my ass into gear and seriously studying this morning though. I don't know what it is whether it is some kind of random funk or maybe its the fact that i've been on a thanksgiving break (which didn't really turn out too be much of an actual break it was more studying my ass off for this business stats exam). Hoping this coffee I am drinking kicks my brain into start mode that would be awesome for sure. Overall having a break off from school was pretty nice I got caught up on Boardwalk Empire entirely, I got caught up on The Walking Dead, I got all caught up on Dexter. Of course yesterday a whole bunch of new episodes aired but i will catch up on those eventually now just back to the d...

I am here or something

Readers, Hey everyone I hope all is going great in you're world's. I know in the past i've spoken about my tense relationship with my father and the fact that yes I love him but sometimes it is difficult being his son though; hell I know he loves me and just wants me too be successful and he has cracked down because in the past my history given the opportunity I'd much rather play than be serious about school. So now all that known recently I started Thanksgiving break which usually would be a break from school a week of relaxation and just clearing one's head from school and of course nevertheless doing some school work because school doesn't just stop entirely in fact when particular teachers decide to have tests right after the break ie. my stats teacher as soon as we get back its test mode. But its different though right now having bombed my first stats test going into this break and struggling in my math class but not doing horrible its been full on stu...
