| Dude... This summer has been a total of 6 weeks. but it basically feels like forever because I have been keeping busy doing a variety of things. I began with the first week working a lot, that was not so bad a tad enjoyable. and keeping busy planing that epic yosemite trip. The following week I had a trip to Yosemite plan and that was definitely enjoyable and challenging for me, but I am definitely proud of the accomplishment of planning such a large trip even with the mistakes. it makes me happy when I hear that it was the highlight of this summer break  so yea. I would go in more detail but i'll just leave it brief. the following week was recovery leading into friday which is when my family left for Hawaii, to be exact Oahu and that was amazing. Just the experience the environment. I would really enjoy going back but man, next time I know what I am going to do. and by now i'm leading into my 5th week. and which was primarily yard work and working and hanging out with friends. and the 6th week the same deal.
but little excitements like Pulses Fall Bondfire where Caleb, TB and I dug a 7ft deep hole. that was awesome.
-Getting my Labtop after wanting one for about 4 years.
Anyways I bet my grammer is a bit bad... hmm..
Reflecting. Life is Challenging. De Anza is going to be different this year. I can feel it with people not being there, Wayne, Theo, Brian, Yung, Spencer, TB. btw Congrads you guys you completed the mission, that I have not yet accomplished.
Thoughts. Thinking about this whole applying to college ordeal sucks. So complicated so many choices. so much possibly unnecessary research. To keep the struggle simple do I stay in Cal and go for my B.S. and apply for graduate school, or do I apply to a Eastcoast school that has a joint program B.S. + DPT because I feel like it may be a waste to be thinking about the Eastcoast school unless I can receive grants and scholar ships. and that only means more work. yarghh!!! anyways yup
Life is dandy. School starts on Monday. the beginning of the long headache of Organic Chemistry awaits along with my last years of "math like stuff" Physics and 1 quarter of stats somewhere along this year.
I wonder to myself what this year awaits.
I seriously am going to get emotional by the end of the year.

| It has been awhile since I have posted. A life as a college student is difficult and there are many things about my personal position that is quite the pooper. This week hasn't been so hot for studying, like I am just not feeeeling it. and I do not like it. I really got to get the room right and everything. I think because of my distractions this week I won't necessarily be leaving the house there is so much to understand. I still have a possibility for a C+ in Biol 6B. I just got to kick ass on my Lab Final and my Final. I really am frustrated with the situation. I put my effort in to school and that's what I get a lousy C. As the days go I am going to learn to study better and when the day I learn how I should be studying I will own my classes with an iron fist and glass to help me read my textbook.
I think if anything I am quite the geek. I to a level likes what I am learning it just hard for me to take in the nitty griddy things of biology.
Mention that something I have been working on recently is to put time aside to socialize on weekends, it has been a difficult transition, there are benefits towards this.

| What I share here, is my approach towards relationships, in no means is it an encouragement for others to do it my way, but just an enlightenment that there is another approach other than your own. I am indeed curious how others approach this tough subject and just feed back from the audience about my approach.
My position on this particular area has been a constant struggle but, the way that I perceive it and my aim has been the same for many years. My choice in this area of life is to stay single or rather to set my priorities in accordances to the setting; Studies, Family, God (reality of the order). It is much more serious subject to me in respects to my friends whom I discuss this with. This is my convictions and I don’t encourage others to follow.
In Ephesians 5:22-33 it discusses marriage and the key part of these passage that hit me is Ephesians 5:25-27 (NASB) “Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself up for her, so that He might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, that He might present to Himself the church in all her glory, having no spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that she would be holy and blameless.”
What particularly stands out to me is, “That He might present to himself” in the NIV translation it says “and to present her to himself,” The imagery that I get from what Paul wrote is that the things of the past, the previous relationships, sins, debt, is taken with you to the alter at marriage, this is not necessarily a bad thing, but I believe particularly things are not beneficial, therefore I choose not to them. The key word is “present,” my view on that in addition is that I should be working towards being a man worthy of marriage before standing before the alter with whom ever my wife is. Which exactly means to me is to strive to be Christ-like, as well as financially sound, and quoting my mother, “Self Sufficient-Independent.” My actions toward this is my relationship with Christ, leading Spartan Exodus (small group), having a honest relationship with my parents, and striving for a career that will support a family. Through these challenges it will help shape me in becoming a man worthy of marriage. Side-note: I don’t want to be the man that my wife regretted marrying. Therefore, to make things clear I do not intend on being in a relationship until I have a clear path towards my desired career. In respects towards girls, I believe a relationship with an individual who has a similar conviction on scripture, would be the best fit for me, if a couple carried Christ-like qualities how would a relationship ever go wrong? In an argument there would be replaced by humility, in the need of cleaning there will be servitude. In troubles there would be prayer, Idealistically.
Other Thoughts:
My standing on dating is that, it is okay. Through dating not through declaring a status it will help make clear who would be a good spouse. I struggle with this but, I try to stick with not dating for fun.
I hope to keep my virginity and virgin lips till marriage. (Not to sure about virgin lips)
This may change of the course of time, but one thing is that this is my current direction.
