What's up with me?

I haven't blogged in a while and I just sent a life status update to a friend of mine so I thought I would cheat and copy,past it here =]

As for me. Life in Santa Rosa has been nice. Everything is actually pleasantly mediocre. Nothing too exciting but nothing too challenging either. Its just sort of Manila. So I'm trying to spice things up a bit. I've started going back to school. A slow start, but a start all the same. I've also started to learn how to swing dance and I'm thinking of starting to teach again soon.

This semester I'm only taking Tennis, Body Conditioning (pe), Java programming, and Nutrition. I'm taking java as a career move opportunity and to improve my overall programming skill. I've never been formally trained. I've always wanted to know more about Nutrition and then tennis and b.c. are because im getting fat sitting on front of my computer 60 hours a week.

I'm hoping that I can manage to fit school, enough work to live and save some money, swing dancing lessons and for fun, AND maybe teach a poi class once a week somewhere. I'm thinking this might be too much to cram in but we shall see.

Some of the pluses of Santa Rosa I doubt I would ever be able to sustain such a schedule in the bay area. I live within a a 15 minute free walk to school and my free office downtown. If the fact that no one ever does anything fun in Santa Rosa was ever a plus i could be considered one when evaluating the feasibility of such a schedule. But then again maybe I'm sort. I have friends who do full time school and work and I'm amazed I ever see them.

alright thats enough ranting for now, of to my 9m Tennis class.

Swing dancing! Sweet! Where are you taking lessons? I've been wanting to get back into it, and I've been wanting to drag Ed in too. I have a terrible time motivating myself to actually do it, though, even though I love it. I don't know why. Social anxiety? Fear of something new? I dunno! Not that swing dancing is new to me, but wherever I go will be a totally new scene...
