Boot Camp

Ahhh... It's been too long since I last posted. That's because I've been deathly busy with school. It's October now, which as I'm told is boot camp. I've had something major due for class every week, I have sooo many meetings, and my job is really starting to pick up. (I've been doing some real web design now! It's so cool!!) Last night I was up half the night finishing a paper, and a re-write of another paper. Today I actually went home from work at 5pm today because I was so tired and needed a breather.
Anyway, life couldn't be better. I'm loving every minute of this life in the fast lane. I have good friends here. We are all each other's support network.

I can't believe I've been here for well over 2 months. Time is speeding by, but I still miss my family so much. I'm not used to being so far away for so long.

What are some of the highlights of this month? Hmm... well 1.) Glee is back in my life!! Although they only aired 3 episodes with no more new ones till November, I'm totally embracing my gleek self.
2.) The weather is BEAUTIFUL
3.) HESA has a volleyball team, and we totally rock.
4.) I love Student Development Theory!!
5.) I got to go to Indy again the other weekend to a bar called Howl at the Moon. This is the second consecutive straight bar I've been to that was awesome!!

6.) I love not worrying about being poor and accepting my loan. I'm still as stingy and cheap as i'll always be, but I eat slightly more healthy, always have the money to go out with friends on occasion, and I never waste food. I've even brought back my specialty Steak Tortellini Alfredo to my dinner menu! Yummmmm!!

I also made this video because I am so proud of my grocery shopping habits. It's MTV CRIBS!!! Cameron style. [which is not working for some reason. stayed tuned]

7.) I went to the cutest potluck social this month. It was the GLBT potluck for HESA students, staff, and faculty to come together and talk like real people. I love that our mentors like my co-director, Doug and professor, Danielle are so personable. It makes me aspire to be that way when I enter the professional world.

8.) I've acquired a fascination for a new music genre. I call it Electro-tranquility. (most people would say electronic, ambient, new age, etc). It's music like Shanghai Restoration Project, Bombay Dub Orchestra, Thievery Corporation, The Xx, Mythos, Jamie Woon etc. I absolutely love it!! It's perfect for studying. The pandora station I made is perfect.

When I listen to it, it gives me this image of my future life: Nice downtown metro condo, beautiful partner, modern interior design, dimmed lighting scheme, abstract art, sophisticated fashion, local coffee one block away, and the dream job/office at a cutting edge University! I want this life so bad!!

Well... maybe I'll go to bed now so I can continue to dream. How I love my imagination.

Smiling as always,
Cameron :-)
