Chirp chirp.....chirp chirp....zzzz...zzzzz

So I have my rough draft for my 8 month long Thesis project due this Tuesday, all 30 pages of it. Night number 2 of writing it. I can't wait till this is over so I can finally exercise, eat some non frozen quicky microwaved food, and hang with some friends! .... but we all do our time. Best of luck to everyone else tying up the rest of their college life and opening that bag called the real world. Sweet Dreams
Love Always,
Enrique

Long Days Work

So it's the 16th of May, only several hours in, but I'm just reflecting on this day's events. I had my big expose as they say, my final presentation for UROP today, which was an accumulation of 8 months of hard non stop research and work. I have never sacrificed so much for one project and it went great. I was satisfied, but have never been so drained in my life. I wasn't even really sure what to do after I had finished. My family, friends, and other loved ones came out for me...for the first time in college, they came out to support me. Not because they never wanted to, but because this was a venture that I had never taken upon myself; it felt good.

Later that day Jason, Doris, Craig, Clement, and I went to the Middle Earth formal.... and it was a blast! We just danced for like 2.5 hours straight. It feels just like or trip to SF when we went to this club and we just danced for 3 hours straight...oh the good times. Well, sleep well world. Wake up to better days.

Love Always,
Erico

It's been a while. But recently I've been trying to be a better person; trying to re-imagine life. So much i've done wrong. but so much learned too, right? I'm in this program called SPOP and getting to the point....i've always been changing but the stuff we have been doing has been taking all those shoes boxes that everyone has in the back of their soul and laying out for everyone to see. I've never felt so naked or vulnerable either. I've cried more in the past month than in the past 2 years. But at the same time, it has put all these thoughts that I have had floating around in my head and put them at the front. You can be a creator of the world; not alone i recommend. We have gone over personal experiences, expectations, views, trauma, gender issues, race, sensitivity training...enough stuff to make diamonds raw. At the same time, I've started to put it to some good use. I recently had a deep conversation with a friend who I wasn't too good to a long time ago and said something that I have wanted to say for a long time. There is a certain momentum in life, and if you don't act upon it when it comes your way you will get left behind. I think mine started recently. I hope it takes me good places. I definitely feel better about, well, life. Take care yall

Love Always,
Eric
