run.

So its been a VERY long time since i've made an actual post about my life in this blog, so lets do that. This is probably gonna be way out of chronological order since its been awhile ya know.

Awhile back, like awhileeeee back, I got a ticket at campus for making an illegal U-Turn on West Loop Road up at East Bay. To be honest, I had no idea that this was illegal, but only after I got the ticket did I realize that theres 20+ signs on that road that say "No U-Turn". Well I had to go to driving school so that my insurance rates don't go skyrocketing, and that actually turned out to be an interesting experience. It was my second time ever going to driving school for a traffic ticket, due to a previous ticket for running a stop sign, so I kinda knew what to expect. I just didn't realize that I would be that irritated at the end of the day. So many things about that class made me want to punch someone; from the teacher saying things that almost made me scream "youre fucking retarded", to the two old men that sat in the back of the class that wouldn't shut the hell up and thought they were hilarious even thought they looked like mall santa's, and to the old lady that sat next to me that bitched and complained about the format of the questions on a practice quiz, when it was her own fault for not understanding the question in the first place. Then there was the guy that sat behind me who acted like a complete asshole to the driving teacher. Everytime the teacher would ask us a question, the guy would immediately shout out the answer and say something like "come on teacher we're not stupid. you needa speed up the pace of this class". I wanted to turn around and tell his know-it-all Hermoine wanna be self to shut up, but I was too busy sleeping to do so. And then there was the guy that was sitting a few desks away from me. He was a pretty nice guy, smiled alot and agreed with everything, probably cause of lack of english knowledge (sounds terrible but its true), but his one flaw was that his arm hair was thicker than the hair on my head. I couldn't help it, but everytime I'd look at him, I would think that he was a new moon away from turning into a werewolf. To be honest, I really didn't get anything out of the class, because even though most of the people in the class received tickets for speeding, the teacher mainly focused on road rage and defensive driving, which, if you know me or have drriven with me, I have problems with. Fuck defensive driving, I'm an offensive driver.

Well the day after that was the beach event. That actually turned out to be alot funner than I thought it would be. I accomplished one of the goals on my checklist, which was to get rid of my farmers tan. The funnest part of the day had to be going into the water. It was so cold, almost like ice, and the waves were almost twice my height, but jumping into them was pretty fun. Some other rather interesting stuff happened at the beach also, but yeah other than that, it was fun ya know. I'm looking forward to the next event.

Another thing that I've been busy with is orientations at college. We're trying to get people interested in joining our fraternity, so one of the best ways to do this is by hitting up the orientations to get our name out there. I think I'm finally getting over my little fear of going up to random people and just talking to them. Its actually kind of fun to meet these people and get to know them, and hopefully they'll remember me once school starts up.

But yeah now to the main point of the blog, the title. What me and a few friends have been doing every other day has been going to the tracks and running. My new goal for the summer is to get back into the same shape that I was in back in high school. My old mile time was 5:27, and my current mile time rests around 7:30. So hopefully by the end of this summer, I'll be back at at leats the 6 minute mark, if not the 5 minute mark. So yeah here goes. If anyone wants to run with me, then you know how to contact me.
