Aloha

Well the Ging Wu tournament is coming up, and although I'm fairly confident in my kata I know Ranalds is up there and probably better at this point. Also, sparring is going to be new to me, and here is to hoping I just don't get my ass handed to me in point sparring. I can take solace in that it is just point sparring, but when you know the rules when you play there is no complaining. Hopefully tomorrow I will get a lot done, although conditioning is pretty low I hope to be mentally sharp.

I guess I should talk about my first year at University considering it is a milestone so to speak. Well, first year is over and I'm close to completely deciding what I'd like to do. I've settled on Occupational Therapy for now, which is different from Physical therapy in that they try to aid someone regain their "functional use" of their body. Yeah don't worry about it. The program isn't easy to get into, only 70 some new people get into the program per year. However, I'm aiming to keep my gpa at 3.5 so that should pretty much get me in.

Now, how am I doing for keeping gpa at 3.5? Well, compared to most people my workload this year was relatively easy because I mainly had business pre requisites. Unfortunately, not an A to be found )=... plenty of friggin A-'s though. English I pulled to a B+, but frickin Physics has cost me and who knows about my remaining two subjects. But enough about grades, how about the year itself? Well, it is a a few steps about high school and I need to learn to somehow sit through lectures. I spent a lot of time catching Z's then listening to the lecturer. As for workload, I wish I scheduled myself better. I'd make myself to do lists, and they end up becoming "shit I fudging forgot to do" list. Ah m/f, not much I can do now except look toward next semester. However, all in all a relatively good year and next year its my goal to hit A's in half my classes.

Today I went cold calling and had a good haul. Saturday sucked, as I got one (and the only one) but today looked up. I got 4 leads, although one taken from Kason because he didn't go for the house *sucker!* In any case, I'm not confident all of them will be good but at least two should be. If you don't know what I'm talking about, I joined up with College Pro which is a company that has been set up so that there are student managers and student employees. Each manager gets a team and can send guys to go cold calling. Cold calling is basically going door to door, and for us we are offering a free paint estimate so that anyone who is interested will commit to it, then hopefully and likely commit to a job. Check out College Profor more info. Our motto is apperently: Leads --> Estimates --> Work --> Money! YAY!

Peace out! Thats all for now but before I leave here is a random thought. How wrong would it be to eat a chocolate hot dog? Sure, you can have sprinkles too...
