What a week

THis was a hectic week. In the closing minutes of this Saturday night, I'm thinking about all the studying I've done, work I've completed, and  all the other activities I have done this week. I really can't believe how lucky I am to have survived, but even more lucky to be able to experience all these things. I didn't complain when I skipped most of the Saints game for my Monday night marketing class. I didn't complain when I studied for hours attempting to ace my two tests this week. I didn't complain when I had to hustle in order to meet my deadlines at work by Friday afternoon. I consider myself very lucky and blessed to have these responsibilities, and with this new outlook on life everything's much more fun and tolerable. I say tolerable when in reality I don't feel like I'm tolerating anything. I am really enjoying life, as I did great on my tests, still saw some of the game, impressed my bosses, and went boating Friday evening. I had a great time on the lake with my buddies and just witnessed some incredible football. Is it possible to overdose on football? I came close today, mainly because there were some amazing, close games. What an exciting football season.
Actually, I'm excited in general.
Like I said, I'm loving life right now, and I hope it'll spread to whoever's reading this. (If anyone)
What're those sayings? Fortune favors the bold? Luck finds those who are positive?
If this is true, then I'm ready and waiting for the next best thing. Bring on Monday.

Looking back...

Looking back over the past week, I have found hardly any time to sit back and relax. As I write this blog, I think back to the outline I have made. While making it, I took the opportunity to just sit on the couch.
Call me a couch potato, lazy, slothful, whatever you like.
The first time to relax in a week? I'll do what I please, thank you.
There has been plenty of football to watch over the labor day weekend, and I was able to go water skiing and dove hunting, too. I visited my colorful grandparents and listened to great stories about their past. I love to hear about their children, to hear the follies they went through. My alltime favorite tale ends with my uncle Dicky moving schools after a Jesuit priest threatened to quit over his abhorrent behavior. Long story short, he drove the priest to near insanity. Seeing older family members in such a perspective is interesting, I love the idea that reatives went through much of life's tribulations that I have experienced.
So as I rest after a long week and weekend, I get ready for work and school this week. A short week? I love starting the week on Tuesday, but I feel like the week drags on and on.
Dave Mathews band concert in Dallas this weekend!
My roommates and I are going with our girlfriends and some other friends, I cannot wait to go!
