Midterms and Bulls

     So, last semester when I planned my schedule I realized that I will only have classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays I was never so happy in my life. But now I realize why it sucks so bad. Because this week has been just complete draining. I saw this coming but never anticipated that it was going to be this hard to balance all of my test. But on the bright-side tomorrow I will be done and I am smooth sailing to Spring Break in Las Vegas.

      On a less stressful note, I am really excited to see how successful the Chicago Bulls have been. Espececailly, sweeping the Miami Heat 3-0. I feel as if Lebron is debating if he should of came to Chicago. But this is it for now. I will post when I am in Vegas

Have a Good Break & Be Safe

Life

     So, in this blog I am not going to talk about the Chicago Bulls or me moving to Australia. But this past weekend I went home to be with my grandmother in the hospital and it really made me just reflect on life. In life, you can feel so good that you are as high as a G6 flying at 30,000 feet, but with the drop of a dime it can change and drop you back to ground zero.

     It has been 4 years since I lost my grandfather. I can honestly say he was the person that molded me to be the man I am today. Growing up he was my father figure and taught me everything from soccer to even how to get girls. He has been my inspiration to succeed today and there isn't one day that pass that I do not think about him. He is the perfect example of how life can change in a instant. In Nov. of 2007, he was diagnosed with liver cancer and by Jan of 2008 he passed away. It took me awhile to finally realize that I just lost one of the most important people in my life.

     But after my reflection, it really do makes me appreciate the people I have in my life. I am very grateful that I always had a friend that was there to lend a hand to pick me up when I am down. And that is why I told myself no matter who it is if anyone ever needs someone to talk to I will always be available. Because I feel that we all go through the toughest of times but it is the people in our lives are the ones who helps us prevail.

Why Bradley?

     So, this past weekend my friend and I went down to ISU to go to a party for my bestfriend's girlfriend's birthday. When I was down there, we all sat at the table and started talking and my bestfriend was telling me how he isn't liking his living situation. He was telling me that if I would of gone to ISU, me and him would be rooming together. Which made me reflect why did I choose Bradley?

     My bestfriend and I have known each other since we were 3. When I was a senior, I liked Bradley because I came to Bradley as an undecided engineer. But I was only an engineer for a semester and realized that engineering isn't my passion and marketing was. But why did I stay at Bradley? Why didn't I transfer to be with my bestfriend when I changed my major?

     Thinking about it now, I don't regret my decision at all. Because I have friends now that I will have at my wedding and maybe even when my first child is born. My friends here at Bradley are like family to me and I am very grateful to have them in my life. But I am proud to be a Bradley Brave.

Basketball and Misc.

     So, this weekend is NBA All-Star weekend. I am definitely excited to see Chicago native, Derrick Rose, starting the first time in his career on the All-Star team. But this week have been just a complete mess. The stress of senior projects and my other classes has finally caught up to me. But I think partly it is my fault, because when I have projects I tend to be an over achiever and everything has to be perfect.


     This Saturday, I am heading to ISU for my bestfriend's girlfriends birthday. I think it will be a well needed break for me. And once again, it is only about a month away until I am heading to Las Vegas for a week. But this is what I have going on in my life. So I am signing off now.

School

     So just this past week senioritis just hit me like a ton of bricks. I realized that this semester has been flying by so fast and I have so much to do. Senior project is going to take up a lot of my time but I think it will be fun "At least I hope so". I guess I have to just stay positive and look forward to the things in the future. In about a month, I will be going to Las Vegas with my friends and I know it will something I will always remember.

     Besides school, I recently had my second interview with JcPennys for there sales manager intern. I am hoping by next week I can get schedule for my third interview. Also, today I went to the job fair and I totally forgot how awkward job fairs are. I mean you walk up and start talking but when you look over your shoulder there is like 3 people behind you waiting to talk to the same person. Plus, most of the recruiters at the job fair can be intimidating.

     But I have to go for now and do more research for my senior project.

College

      So today I joking but up a Facebook status saying "Man I should of went to SDSU... I am not gonna digg this 12-18 inches of snow." Then I had a reflection. I wanted to go to San Diego State University because I have family in San Diego "but the weather is definitely a plus". But in reality I realized that I came to Bradley because I wanted to be close to my brother. 

      I don't think I have ever mentioned my brother, but sometimes I feel like I am his dad. My brother and I are extremely close. Since he is only 12, I wanted to be close to him to make sure he has a good role model. Especially, with all this craziness going on in high schools and etc. I definitely didn't want him falling into the wrong crowd.  I think that is why my decision on me going to Australia has been so hard. I mean don't get me wrong. My friends mean everything to me and if you know me I am the type of guy that is willing to give the shirt off my back to any of my friends. But then again, I know people have told me that sometimes you have to let go. But I don't think I am ready to let go just yet. He is only 12 and he still has so much more to learn and I want to be at all of his milestones. 


On the plus side, Derrick Rose has been voted to be the starter for the East in the All-Star game.

Well what can I say?

      Today, I got a phone call from my parents saying that, they will be doing to paperwork this June for citizenship to become an Australian citizen. So everything before this point, was just a blur but today everything just got clearer. I am still not sure on what I want to do quite yet. I want to stay in the United States to be close to my friends. But then again I have a little brother that is 12, that I swear he is my kid. I want to be the role model he deserves and watch him grow up. Which made this decision that much harder.

     But today, in Social Media, we received our groups for our group projects and I feel very confident about my team and our client. I already have a lot of ideas going in my head that I feel will make it a killer project.

       In the sports world, Bulls win again... which I believe makes it two in a row. And the Bulls will have another game this Friday. But I am leaving you guys with this. I am friends with Derrick Rose on facebook and he posted this:
