Hmmm let's see, I did some cool stuff this week. I job shadowed at Dr. McCartneys(I don't think that is how it's spelled), but anyway, he is an optometrist. Some of the tools that he uses are pretty sweet, I am not going to lie. And I don't mean the classic "1 or 2, again 1 or 2." They have tools that do everything from charting the surface of your eye to taking pictures and showing you how different prescriptions in different frames will look on you. It was pretty cool.
I've really been having fun with basketball this past week. And it's not even that my shot has been on, I mean that doesn't hurt, but it's more than that. I don't know, it's just been really fun. I've been pushing myself to get better, and I realize that I can only get better from here on out as long as I stay healthy.
I still have some rust to clear off in my team play, but I need to get back to that point our whole team was at my junior year. That point where making a good pass was almost as satisfying as scoring. That is what made us so successful that year, and it really is much nicer to play with people like that. Right now I still want to score more than I want to make that one more pass, so I need to work on that.
It is starting to hit me that I will be leaving the Tri in a month. It feels really weird. My whole life has been in the tri so it will be interesting to move onto a new chapter of my life.
And I have too much reading to do in that time. I haven't read Lewis in a while, which I should get back to. But I also have to read that book Enrique's Journey for Fox, that I am pretty sure I am supposed to have read by the time I get there. Honestly I am having trouble bringing myself to it because 1. It looks like a terrible book. It's about an illegal immigrant kid who travels on a train to America to go find his mother, who left like 10 years prior. There is really no draw for me. 2. I have trouble seeing any consequences for not reading it. Some topics will be brought up in a pass/fail class for first year orientation? Mine is about God in Science, I have my doubts about immigration issues coming up. They might also be talked about in some random groups that I don't get graded for? If you haven't met me, I'm pretty good at staying quiet when I have to. I know this seems like a rebellious attitude, but come on, can you blame me for wanting to read something that can actually have an impact on my life, like a C.S. Lewis spiritual work. Also, I have been told that I should read some Spurgeon too, so I would like to do that sometime. I like to read stuff that is more useful on a day to day basis in my life.
Oh and I saw The Prestige this week for the first and second time. Christopher Nolan is ridiculous, I am stoked for Dark Knight Rises. I also watched Captain America, which was actually pretty solid. But I find it funny that Dark Knight Rises is just Batman and it will make more money next summer than Captain America, Iron Man, The Hulk, and Thor in the Avengers.
On another note, I think it is time for me to write some more music. I have written one song this summer, and honestly if I focus, I can usually bust out a song. I just need a guitar riff and a topic, and I think I have a fitting topic...
So that will be all for tonight.
