Some exciting things are on the way. I’m not exactly sure what those things are yet but I’ve got a feeling this semester is going to really make up for the past couple. School started back up yesterday and so far, I couldn’t be happier. I’ve got a great schedule that allows time to concentrate on my music, great classes and (as far as I can tell so far) great teachers. I’ve decided to step away from math (because why on earth would I want to dedicate my life to math?) and get some general studies courses out of the way. I guess that would make me an “undeclared” major though I’m still a “math major” in the computer systems. For my humanities credits I’ve really looked into the film program that is just being launched this year. I’m taking a screenwriting course, a production techniques course, and a course on George Lucas and Steven Spielberg (way cool). So three out of the five classes I’m taking, I watch and analyze movies! As for my other two courses, I read and analyze chicano literature in one and dance chicano (latin salsa) in the other! I hope I don’t jinx myself so early in the term by saying all this, but like I said, I’m really… happy here now.I guess I should probably mention something about these pictures. This past weekend, I drove up to the Rim up north and camped out with my brothers, my cousins, and a couple of their friends. When we got to the camp site, we met this guy–probably the older brother of the last horned toad we found two blogs ago! Oddly enough, he is missing a couple front claws–a battle wound no doubt.Up at 7000 feet, the weather is a hell of a lot different from the hell back in the valley.When it rained (and even hailed!) the temperature was around 55, nearly 50 degrees cooler than the 100+ weather in Phoenix!Creepy.As soon as the weather cleared up, the sun came out and it was actually a little on the warm side. Chris and Tyke celebrated by… reading comic books.I went camping with… geeks. Geeks who go to Comicon and collect Star Wars figurines… but who I am to talk? I collected hot wheels for several years…We were camping up on the Rim right next to a canyon which was cool because there was a trail–a very steep trail–that we were able to hike down to get to a beautiful river at the bottom. My brothers Kaleob and Theron.Nash here loved the water and prefered it highly over hurting his paws on the rocks.Kaleob and his GPS.The trip was good, relaxing, refresing. With that and Disneyland behind me, I think I am revitalized to do some decent work this semester. Did I mention you could see the Milky Way up there? Highly inspiring. Thanks to the “I’m-going-to-have-a-productive-summer!” outlook that failed miserably these couple of months, I’m quite behind on my projects. Well, at least the Conan project looks promising so far (I’m even updating the website now). I need to get back to concert music and other fun projects! DAMN! Too many fun projects… what am I going to do?
