| Hello Xanga, hello world. I'd like to reintroduce myself (to you). Its been nearly 3 years since we've last met (xanga) and a lot has happened since then. But, the first entry back should not be too heavy. It would be a better idea to work myself back in. Not only have I changed a lot since I've last blogged (high school apparently) but also much more recently. The last three years have seen it's share of up's and downs, which is symbolic of life. However, does that reflect everyone's life? Say for a millionaire, what are their "downs" like? A bad day at the golf course?
In any case, valuble lessons have been gleaned from riding these lows and highs. I will summarize these lows and highs chronologically:
High School:Specifically senior year. Boy was that a fun year. I would like to say it was the year where no wrong could be done (except prom, but that's a different story). Otherwise, that was the perfect way to end a high school career.
College, Freshman Year: What a mixed year, but after going through the supposed crazy party phase I came to realize that there are three parts to college: your academics, your social life, and your health (sleep). And the rule is, you can only have two of the three. After my first initial shock (at my ineptness at Chemistry) the year ended in optimism, but only after I took my lumps and bruises.
College, Sophomore Year: The beginning of this year was quite amazing. Up to that point, I have remained much the same person I was in high school. That is (according to self-reflection) very extrovert, very optimistic, and very carefree. Everything around me seemed to go as I wished: relationship was healthy, grades were high, fun was had. Yet, as the pattern seems, for as big a high there would be a low.
College, Sophomore Year Part II: The last four months have been the most trying months of my young life. I have been humbled, I have been grounded, and I have been shown what true sadness can feel like. To my lost friend, R.I.P. . To my estranged friends, I will miss you this year. And to friends who remain, I cherish you dearly. On that note, I find myself reaching where I am now, at a crossroads yet at a point where I more concious than ever of where I am.
Where I am now, and where countless others have found themselves, is the point which one cannot help but constantly think and reflect at where it all went wrong. This negative self-talk keeps me up at night. Why couldn't it be otherwise? Why did things turn out to where they are now? Although I do not have the answer yet, I am at least on the path to discover the answer, and I would never have been on it if not for the trials I have endured. And that lesson in itself is enough to make me realize that I am where I should be, that I did indeed need to re-examine my own life and not simply experience what life had to offer me but to learn from it. You don't always give a second thought to the high points in life, although you may give a second feeling to them, but to those things that you may regret, a second thought is the least of your worries (literally).
I realize now that I have written much more than I first intended (which was to write about my day). In summary, I was late to my volunteer shift, my discussion, my workshop, to my night-out, and to the friend who so kindly visited. Story of my life I believe, but a story to which nothing is certain. Thank you for reading this (even if it's you future older Nelson). I believe the next entries will do more to elaborate on what exactly happened during my high's and low's. Until then people (maybe only future Nelson), I bid you goodnight and farewell (there is a 8am class to be attended in the morning despite the late hour of this entry).
