Ok....Sorry y'all!!!

I have decided to post once again. I apologize for my long absence. I got SUPER busy and then once I was not as busy, I was out of the habit. So...time for an update.

Where to begin....well, last semester was AWFUL!! Here was my weekly schedule: Sunday I would go to church at Monterey with Rachel (one of the few times I would actually spend with my girlfriend), I would then get in my car and drive to Weatherford where I stayed with my uncle and his family. Monday I would go to school in Arlington from 9am to 9pm, then drive back to Weatherford for the night. Tuesday I would get in my car and drive back to Lubbock hopefully in time to spend a little time with Rachel and/or friends. Wednesday through Saturday I would work my 45-50 hours at the children's' home (which although was VERY tiring, I LOVED it). In the off hours, I would read or work on school work. Overall, I was very overextended and tired, lacking sleep and interaction with anyone.

This process revealed to me that I would sooner die than actually acquire my degree in this fashion. So, I decided to move to the metroplex for this semester. I looked for a cheap apartment close to campus, but was happily offered to stay with my family again, but for the entire semester. So this is what I decided to do. I now live in Weatherford and go to school in Arlington all day on and Tuesdays. School is going very well so far and I am so glad that I am here with time to actually do homework.

However, nothing is simple in the life of Adam. In an effort to complicate things once again, I work in Abilene with my dad on Wednesday through Friday every week. I cannot seem to escape my car. Dad and his crew are working on a big housing project in Abilene so I decided I should help him out and earn a few dollars until he is done with the project.

Overall, I still don't see much of my girlfriend or other friends, but I am easier to get along with now that I actually receive some sleep. I do get weekends off to travel to Lubbock to see everyone more often now. I will be there next weekend for Follies and such. If you read this, I'll see you there!!

Well, that is the update in a nutshell. I will (under sustained pressure from Rachel) be updating again on a more frequent basis. I look forward to reconnecting with all of you by way of the blog.

Talk to you soon!!
