Today is the first day of our two-week spring break. This is the first time, either in a work or school capacity, where I’ve been at a university with a tw0-week spring break. Like the Dude in The Big Lewbowski, I will abide. I will be researching, spending hours in the gym, and sleeping. Oh, and doing plenty of blog posts (the crowd goes wild!).
Had a bit of a scare today driving on I-95. While driving back from the airport (dropped a friend off) my front-left tire came off my Blazer. Yes, I am not lying, it came off, lug nuts, wheel, etc. I was quite thankful for the snowy weather because the conditions forced me to drive no faster than 40 mph. I was able to pull-off the road in no more than 35 feet, which, as I did my tire was rolling next to me. I was unharmed, the truck was ok, all I had to pay for was a tow and a new set of lug nuts. Cannot say enough how thankful I am for the snowy conditions. I do not know how this would have played out at normal I-95 speeds of 65-75 mph. I am quite blessed that I got out of this situation unharmed, especially with a front wheel coming off.
As previously stated, I have plenty of research to do, so I am ready to rock-n-roll. I am working on a project that will subsume 70% of my final grade in my history of popular culture course. I actually decided to further expand my earlier paper on the film, Boyz N the Hood. The approach I am taking on this paper centers on the type of America John Singleton found himself when he wrote and directed the film. Other aspects will evolve, and I have tons of resources to delve into during break.
I am headed to the gym now. Today is legs and cardio, oh, and abs. I must keep on, keeping on. Stay tuned, I plan to blog a lot over break. Thank you for reading.
Music:
-I would recommend Ingrid Michaelson. She is one of my new favorites. Her songwriting is perfect for relaxing and getting a fun story. Check out the link, she is great.
