An orientation for San Jose State, which for the most part, was useless until we met with our major advisor which wasn’t until about an hour and a half before the thing was over. I met some pretty cool people which was nice since these orientations require patience and listening for the most part. In total, I met three people whom I felt I really got to know in a matter of 20-50 minutes just from talking to them about their experiences, study habits, knowledge, and their hardships. What was the coolest thing was that each person was from a different major (psychology, business, and communications). I’ll probably never see them again but it was nice to know that I still got it (starts chant!).  Most of the knowledge given by San Jose State advisors, chairs, department heads, and what not seemed like it was common knowledge (budget cuts, overcrowded college, number of units you can take if you are working full time or part time). So, in all not too fun but not too boring either. After that it was onto the Oakland A’s game where it was an intense back and forth game that went from being 3-0, 4-3, 4-4, and finally 6-4 in extra innings. The A’s managed an almost walk-off but it wasn’t enough. Sometimes, days like this make you wish that life would go on forever but it was full of things that I love. I love baseball, I love school, and most of all I love the fact that I will have a future ahead of me that seems bright.

Day #189 12/15/11: Perspective…

A picture of a tape during my lunch where I had some time basically thinking of my future at my job and if I wanted to be there if my boss was going to state that everyone on our team were stated as under performing which I don’t believe is true. My buddy was a victim as he was ripped for talking too much and I started toning down my talking as well which is very difficult to do if we can’t talk then why go to work. After an otherwise vacationing day at the Big Red Machine, I went home to spend time with the family and watched some wrestling by myself as my brother prepared for his daughter’s birthday and we went around looking for things to make it better.
