Well, we left off this epic journey through my life back in the heat of summer. My friends and I were off renting a place in town to be near some concerts and to be away from responsibility to allow our minds to get creative and write some of our own songs.

The rest of the summer was a blast. We also camped out in the wilderness for a few days, traveling on foot between a few different landscape locations. Just us, our camp supplies, some madlibs, and a video camera with extra tapes and batteries to log our adventure and capture us doing some stupid stuff.

Then came soccer. It was an intense last few weeks of training, but after a five hour practice, it was always nice to relax and chill around a bonfire, jam out, or just play some relaxing video games.


Now school has started, and I feel like I'm being pounded into the ground. I'm taking two college courses, so basically, I just sit in class, take some notes, and then I have to go home and learn the majority of the material by myself. I usually have 20-30 pages of community college history reading a night, plus there's always some sort of project going on. My other college course is English, in which we are just reading a chapter or two per night of novels and discussing them in the lecture hall. Fun in class, but the homework can be brutal with the little time that I have, and we're constantly taking pop quizzes on the reading and vocabulary that is in it.

The reason it is so hard to get this done is soccer. I have soccer practice three hours per day, and games usually last a little longer, with warmup included. If it's an away game sometimes I'll be gone until ten or eleven, not giving me much time to read all this homework, and work on a project in the evenings. Plus, I usually have a decent amount of chemistry and math homework. It is a good thing that my other class is public speaking, and all I have to do is come up with a speech every few days. Luckily, we haven't had much written or reading homework in that class, yet.

Things seem to be going especially rough for me, at the moment too. I came down with a cold last weekend and it's really taking a toll on me, especially on the soccer field. I lost my 80 dollar graphing calculator when I left it on the lunch table to get in line. Someone must have taken it. I've got a tooth cavity I need to get fixed in a week or two. I feel lost and overwhelmed with what is to come. I've been trying to take it one day at a time, but it is hard to ignore the future.


I'm just getting destroyed by life, right now, and I know what I really need it to get closer to God. I think that I'm realizing it more and more as I write all this down. I want to talk to Dan, if I can find him, and find the time.


In conclusion...

... my life.

wow dude thats probably the deepest thing i have ever.....it makes my life seem so........easy and boring

if you need someone to talk to im here for you ajax just message me

So you get sick, your calculator gets stolen, you have to go to the dentist, and your life is spiraling down?


lmao

Do I smell a sitcom?

you may think your life is harsh sometimes and i agree with you...but keep in mind that many (more like a ton) of people would love to have your life and would do anything for it... i heard that in Alberta (canada), one person commit suicide each 2 days or something...and i am not even talking about the poor or sick people...

be strong man and focus in the positif aspects of your life, it really helps...and i know what i am talking about...

Ajax, I feel for you buddy, I created this post in hopes it would cheer you up. It's a great article about the upcoming Playstation 4 console...enjoy!

i am speechless, because your stories are really good and every1 can understand u.......... try to relax on the weekends........every1 must visit the dentist we all hate him/he but he/she does a great job and about your calculator , it's a leasson for the future

It feels like I too am the busiest person in the world. I attend the school that gives the most homework in England (excluding boarding schools), and I usually end up with 2 hours day-to-day homework, plus projects and essays. I get so much homework my agenda runs out of space, and I need to continue on my hands.

I work basically all the time -- on the bus to and from school, in break and lunch in school, and in the mornings before I go to school. On top of all that is revision -- I write a few hours on my revision notes every weekend.

I'm having trouble concentrating in general -- which is why I'm on the RedCell Forums so damn much. I'm supposed to be working

woa u kinda have a hard life 0.0

Sometimes, like today, there's just no homework -- it all goes away, somewhere. It's usually right after a lot of deadlines -- today, I had a french test, an essay and two regular homeworks due, so none of those teachers give out any more (thank God). Those days are always nice to relax a bit, and get some repcom in :].

Unfortunately, the public servers are not displayed in the Internet section of multiplayer, and even if you went on, no one would be on the servers...

or maybe you got some scrims going !

Anyways, we all have our own lives, and it's just the way we deal with it that makes us all different. I see no point in complaining (like complaining about a server lagging even thought the rest of us are lagging too so one doesn't have to mention it). However, talking about it makes one feel more confident in oneself.

i wub you Lee

MadCat is right. I’ve got it pretty good, really. I’m lucky that I have the opportunity to play soccer and take advanced classes. One problem with the advanced classes though, is I don’t feel like I’m really that smart. I’ve always been a hard worker, especially when I was young, and I think that it has helped me a lot in getting farther in my academics. Maybe I am smart. Everyone says that I'm so smart, etc, but a lot of them don't know how hard it is for me.

I’ve just been so tired and the cold didn’t help. When things went wrong, I think I looked at them the wrong way, instead of realizing the things that went right. For example: I lost my chemistry homework yesterday and I had it just a few hours before that. I was pretty mad at myself for losing it, and I didn’t even realize the amazing wonder that the teacher didn’t collect it! Turns out my friend took it to “check answers” and kept it in his binder. He gave it back to me right after chemistry. I looked at it as a bad thing that happened to me, when in reality, it was pretty good; though it would have been nice to have had my homework with me.

Otherwise, I’m still busy, of course, but I’m going to try to take LoneR’s advice and watch the bright side, as much as I can. I had a good time at soccer today. 

@ Kimbo: Those things were just some events that made me feel worse. My life feels like it’s spiraling down because I’ve been living off of four hours of sleep per night with a nasty cold and try and trying to take two college classes at school, plus ordinary classes, while playing soccer. I guess I’m just tired and feeling depressed and unfocused recently.

@ Marietta: That’d be real boring. A sitcom of my summer would have been fun. More like a Jackass movie though.

You responded to me. Oops, I didnt usually think sarcasm could be taken seriously. ;) But at least a Jackass movie would be entertaining...however, dangerous/painful/relatively dumb to the creators and...actors(?)

It can be, especially when it is written.
