I can't believe it is already thanksgiving! It seems like another year is already coming to an end at an unbelievable pace. Today was actually a pretty good day. Just lounged around the house and studied accounting with my brother and talked with my parrents. This year however, is a little wierd cause it was just my mother, step-dad, brother, and I. Usually we atleast have some family come in and stay with us but this year was different. In all actuality, it doesn't even feel like thanksgiving. We continually have had summer weather for the past month, except for today. I don't know.....Its hard to describe a seasonal feeling, but it just doesn't feel like the holiday season. What did kind of is disapointing was that my GF was unable to come eat with my family. I was really hoping that she could come eat with us, but our families ate right around the same time so it made it almost impossible for us to eat together.
I was looking back at my blog and I noticed that I have not written anything in a really long time. My first excuse is because school and work have been really crazy. I constantly find myself having to make critical decisions that are pretty much going to interpretate the course of my life over the past few weeks. Pretty much I have had to decide on what college I want to go to, along with decide how to decide my schedule up for next semester. For awhile it was stressing me out considerably. Also, school work was piling up and it had to take priority over almost everything else.
Since I last wrote, the GF and I have obviously gotten back together and are doing excellent. What is really funny is the fact that after we had the conversation on that sunday afternoon, a few days later she came to me and we both talked quite awhile and made up. But besides that we aren't officially publicaly dating until I think the day after thanksgiving. I also have to go to her dad and talk to him about my intentions with his daughter, which is pretty much standard issue when ever you date a girl. No worries......
I also have two friends that are dating that are having quite a time with there relationship. They have been dating forever, and now they are seperated by distance and are struggling some. I use to be really close with both the boy and girl but now I am only close with the guy and I don't even know why the girl and I aren't really even friends anymore. In fact, I have gotten closer with the guy than I was with the girl. I have really gotten to like him because he has an authentic sense to him that flows with honesty and loyalty. No matter what, he just seems like he always is trying to good for others and that is the main reason why I like him. There is a shortage of those type of people in this world. But the conflict within me is because I get very disturbed when ever the girl treats him bad. I am leaving out a lot but because of the circumstances I can not tell anyone. But I just hope that they get this thing worked out because this is the last thing that he needs with all that he has on his plate.
Also, since the last time I wrote I have had an accident. I found that I really like to ice skate. I guess it may sound kind of fruity when ever a male of my age may say that but actually it is really fun. But I went last friday night and had a blast and so the GF and I decided to go again tuesday night. We got there and the ice was not in as good of condition as it was the other night, but we kept on skating. That was a big mistake. I ended up skating over through a puddle of water and all of a sudden my skates slipped out from under me and I ended up busting my head on the ice. Luckily I did not bust my head open, but none the less, my head was the first thing to hit. So we proceeded to go back to my house and I layed there on the couch while the GF put ice on my head till I left. Here is the kind of gross part, the next day I started coughing up blood. I decided to go to the doctors office where I then got a CT scan. I was diagnosed with a minor concuscion and bruised sinuses. Luckily I did not have any compromise in the structural integrity of my skull, but I will have a whiplash feeling in my neck and blood running down my throat for the next coupple of days!! Yummy!
Work is going somewhat better. We keep on having really large nibbles but I am having a hard time understanding that it takes a while for people to bite. Don't get me wrong, I have gotten quite a few small contracts, but nothing that has generated me quite a significant check. Patience is not always my strongest point, but if there is one thing that I am learning from this job, it most assureadly is the virtue of patience. I have also learned the value of team work. When I was at West Marine, everybody kind of did their own thing and you could do your job without anyone else. Now, I rely on other people doing there job to make sure something goes through all the way. I have come to realize that the people in my office are like support staff and so even though I am very independant of them, I have to lean on them quite a bit.
Anyways, I am supposed to go fishing tonight with my boss's son so I need to see if that is still on. Hopefully as we get closer to the holidays I will have more time to collect my thoughts in this place but I'm afraid it might be quite the opposite. I wish all a happy thanks giving.
Best Wishes, Joshua Price
