"Not A Daily Grind" the mantra I have to repeat

Readers, Hey everyone I hope all is going great in you're world's. These days I have to remind myself life is not just another daily grind; if I focus on it I get bummed because it feels like I am doing nothing but working on school and a nice little break of going to the y to work out and occasionally squeezing in reading and watching something but not very often though. I can't believe next week I already have another test in my calculus class time flies when the information is pouring into your brain. According to my math lab i've spent now more than 72 hours working away on math which i'd say is necessary for me too actually be successful. As a whole with my first test grade in play that I am understanding the material just it won't ever come easy to be persay its going too be something I have to work my ass off at. With the land of statistics I am bound and determined to score a B in that class but with my teacher it won't be an easy task but I am b...

A Pot Of Coffee And Determination To Beat this math and stats once and for all

Readers: Hey everyone I hope all is going great in you're world's. Its now 10:01 pm and I am sitting here hot cup of coffee beside me at the kitchen counter writing away on my lap top listening to the newest Tim Mcgraw album: "Two Lanes Of Freedom"; like every other album in the past its another solid one well worth checking out. There is a full pot of coffee set and ready to be guzzled which there is no doubt I will do before the morning becomes too young. In a few days I have a first exam in Business Statistics and I have an first exam in calculus which as many of you know are my nemeses; I won't let this be a failed fourth time in math and a failed third time with stats. Knocked out the take home problem portion of my statistics test in its entirety being able to utilize excel its a lot easier overall instead of all this emphasis on being a stats expert like at Boise State where you had too know every single formula and be able to pull them out of you'r...

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...
