Additional thoughts/start of school
School started today. I had one class today. That class was boring. Its good to be back here and getting right back into the swing of things. Ultimate practice starts tonight, which im looking forward to more than I thought I would be. This could be my last season and I want it to be a great one. Our team is ready to put in the work needed to be great this year and personally, im ready too.
When we got back to school, it was pretty much just right back to the usual stuff. Not much has changed. We spent the weekend partying and hanging out with some of the best and most fun people I know. I've seen pretty much everyone now that ive been back for a couple of days.
One thing that Hans and I have talked about since being back is just that everyone should take the time to do what we did. Take a road trip. See this country. Sometime you are going to have to choose a place to live for a long time and when you are choosing wouldn’t it be nice to have been to a lot of different places so you can choose the right one. There is so much in this country to see that you are really depriving yourself if you don't go out and see it.
Even beyond roadtripping and seeing the country, simply do the things you want to do. If you want to take classes, do it. If you want to sky dive, do it. If you want to build a house, ride a horse, skinny dip, get a job, quit your job, move across the country, do it. It’s so easy to start making excuses for why you cant do something you really want to. I don't have the time. I don't have the money. Forget that stuff. Taking this trip is something I have wanted to do since I was in high school really. I never imagined we would actually make it happen; I figured it would be one of those things we always talked about wanting to do but never did. Well we actually did make it happen and ill never regret a single minute of it. So if you know of something you really want to do, but you keep telling yourself reasons you cant, forget that. As cliché as it sounds, follow your dreams. Don't let people get you down telling you about how you cant do something because it isn’t reasonable or anything like that. Being on the road for 30 days isn’t reasonable. Driving 9000 miles in a month isn’t reasonable. Driving through Florida and Washington state in one trip is not reasonable. But we did it and im damn glad we did.
I've learned a lot and at some point ill be able to put it down on paper. Ill try to keep blogging some and letting the world know what im up to.
