Since it's been about half a year...

A lot of things have changed since I started college and more and more I'm forgetting exactly who I was three years ago. Not to say that everything has changed and I still hold many of the same if not almost all the values I had going into college, but I think I have chilled out a lot more, though I still stress about a lot of things that aren't too important. In all, I think I have really become (read: started on the path to becoming) an adult and have received a lot more responsibility due to this. I don't know if I would have ever of thought jumping into the real world, where you have to worry about bills and finding places to live and landlords that don't give you back your security deposit (if I will ever remedy that situation I don't know), but it all happened and I have been doing a fairly decent job at it.

This semester marks the last semester of my Junior year and the last co-op that I will (ever) do. Though the relief of being done with all my responsibilities at work and the stress of moving every few months will be a relief, but I think I am going to miss this point in my life. It is surely an end to an era, and I hope that the last two years of college will be equal in measure of both fun and work. I have a lot ahead of me and a lot that will keep me going, but it is hard to imagine being a part of the real world and having no more classes and no more tests.

Today marks the day of a beginning, a new resolve. I have a lot ahead of me and I have many goals that I have set to accomplish in the next year. If I succeed When I succeed, it will be interesting to look back and see "how it all went down."

On a less general note, I commuted to work today with my bicycle. I had been meaning to do it for awhile, but I never did. I told myself yesterday that I would and that there was no question that I had to do it. But when I woke up, my alarm didn't go off, so I woke up when I would have liked to have been at work because I edited my alarm on my phone but I forgot to enable it after I edited it, which I think should just happen automatically, at least for how often I assume it would just do it that way anyways. Well, so I was thinking about not riding since I have a lot some big things I want to get done early today and everything, but I kept thinking about my promise so I ended up riding in. I am not really afraid that it will get stolen since I am in a nice area, but if anything like that does happen I'm going to be pretty upset, which makes me wonder if I'll ever be comfortable riding to school, which to me a lot more likely place for it to get stolen. Anythewho, I rode it to work and I hope to do that more often, especially earlier in the day... Now as far as riding back home... Should I take the direct path or go on a long tour of the towns on a bike route? I really want to start riding longer. Hopefully the weather cooperates.

Well, that's enough for now. Go visit www.briangoessling.com! I recently bought this domain for no main reason. I have been experimenting with flash, and if you look at it throughout the next few weeks you will probably notice some big/dramatic changes.
