So before I left home a little over a week ago I worked at my swimming pool as a diving coach. An interesting fact eh? Getting a tiny legion of kids to focus on airborne acrobatics is as tough as anything I've done. Stepping further back two months I graduated from high school and immediately departed our country's borders with my mom and sister, flying to Ireland, where my sister and I figured we could finally experience a vacation that didn't involve hiking. I think we did about as much walking around tourist destinations as we had climbing out of the Grand Canyon several months earlier.
Back to the present, I'm glad to get classes underway. My CS 1300 class looks really relaxed, which is great because I'm horrible with computers and need to take it slow. So far all my courses seem that way except for HUMA 1600, where yesterday I experienced my first full blown lecture. Trying to sort out the important information from the irrelevant and taking decent notes all the while is not easy- I'm considering chugging red bulls before the next lecture. Its good to have a challenge though and I'm looking forward to the weeks ahead.
Welcome to the class, Aaron! Don't worry - you'll still get to enjoy the nice winters in San Antonio. Lots of times you can wear shorts in December or January! Don't forget to add a link to your email in this entry.
ReplyDeleteHey Aaron! You are an awesome writer, you know that? I really enjoyed reading your blog, and I look forward to getting to know you better this year, so long as you remember my name (haha) :). And diving sounds really cool, by the way.
ReplyDeleteSO that explains the glazed look...good to know!
ReplyDeleteLOL - I really like the way you write, Aaron - welcome to the class!
ReplyDeleteHi Aaron! I am from Texas (Dallas actually), and the weather can be crazy. In the summer, it's just plain hot, but around the fall, winter, and spring time, the weather likes to change randomly. Or at least I experienced this living in Dallas for 19 years. One day, the weather will be mild, and then the next day, it will be much more chilly. You always bring your winter coat with you the wrong day.
ReplyDeleteWe get really excited when it ices/snows/sleats, which might happen once a year. We hardly know what to do. Schools usually shut down when any sort of winter inclement weather comes in the way.
But hey, if you enjoy the weather down here, power to you!
