Yeeeesssssssuh. At last! I am back after my short, unplanned, hiatus from writing on this blog, which wasn't terribly long, but either way, plenty has happened this last week. So much that it doesn't bear repeating! There's literally too much to talk about in this post. I don't have the time or stamina to stay up any later than midnight tonight. I am fairly drained.

Classes have started! My classes are awesome except for my religion class which could very well be my hardest class in college so far. Tuesdays are literally unfathomable to those who like to space out their classes. Imagine, teaching from 9:30-11:30 in the Loop, shooting back to Lincoln Park to eat, having a class from 1:00-4:15, 4:20-5:50, and then trying to wrap it up with a 6:00-9:15 class. Fortunately, like I said, my classes are ballin'. My science lab requirement class (Image, Optics, and Cinematic Motion) could not be easier! My Interpersonal Communication class is taught by an awesome professor and it's something that I'm eager to learn more about. Finally though, my Topics in 19th Century Literature: Monsters & Villains has the look and feel like it could make my life hell, but the professor, well, she's worth the price of admission, if you know what I mean. hahaha.

So I'm in transition, in that, my life right now isn't something I would have guessed it would be and I am in the process of adjusting to, what I feel like is, an advanced plane of existence. By saying that I am referring to how I am a Junior now, so I am a year older obviously, but I definitely am aware of how being that much older feels, whereas before I really didn't understand how I was any different from last year (birthday post). I think I'll keep finding out things about myself that I like or dislike. I could mention a few flaws that I've noticed about myself lately, but why concentrate on the negative? It honestly feels like I'm on a different level. I'm writing, doing, seeing things differently than I would have ever done; it's like I just upgraded from a regular television to high definition widescreen 'shit-your-pants' quality. God, I don't want to even think about life without college now- such an amazing opportunity to get to know yourself and find out who you are as long as you take the time required to do so.

(I recognize these paragraphs are a little longer than I try and write them normally. I figure people look at big blocks of text and run away.)

Do I feel good? Yeah, right now I do. I'm happy. I'm figuring stuff out as it comes up and I'm not worrying as much. There's no way a person could bring me down other than myself- I feel pretty unbeatable.

You may or may not notice some of these changes, but I assure you they're happening right under your noses. I am sly-er than I let on. Those close to me will know soon enough what I mean by this when I point out the patterns I've laid out, like the DaVinci code, but not. The evolution of Eric Ruelle is ongoing, I entreat you to take note.
