Digging a little deeper

 So for this second entry to my blog, I think I'm going to share some insights I've recently been considering, as well as some life updates.

I'm into my third week back at college now, class work is really kicking in, and as far as math goes, I've realized that I have a lot of work to do just to catch up to where I used to be.  It's a funny thing that if you don't use calculus for 6 years, you start to forget it.  The last week or so I've been scrambling to remember integration rules and differentiation techniques.

If you page back to my first post, you'll remember that I'm developing a sort of photo essay, which I'm trying to incorporate into my english class which is all about arguement.  Since I'm intending to point out common misconceptions through this project and alter the viewpoint of my audience, I'm thinking that this is the perfect developmental solution.  Now the only trick is to get it into a format that is acceptable to my instructor!  Hah!

My real and hidden focus over the last few months, however, has been rebuilding myself after a devistating heartbreak.  Many of you may remember my girlfriend Brooke through pictures posted of us or subtle hints in my writings.  Sadly, our relationship came to an end in November, the reasons for which are not a neccessity for this tale, however the experience has left me wandering through an unknown mental landscape without the company of my best friend.

It has been a difficult journey to get to this point, and I've spent a lot of time evaluating who I am as an individual and what I have to contribute to society.  This is partly responsible for the inception of afformentioned photo essay, among other future plans that I've been struggling through the developmental stages of.

My main goal with a lot of my ideas presently is not to follow them through to the end, but instead merely to perfect my development process in hopes that I will be able to be a more effective and efficient brainstormer.

I'm noticing I'm drifting off a bit here and I'm not certain about what to add, so I'll end with a though that has been stated in one way or another many times before.

You have the power to do anything, the hard part is chosing which path to follow in order to get to your dreams.  Choose wisely and let your heart be your guide.
