What I've Been Up To

This summer has been unique. Lots of things have happened that I could not have predicted. I plan on writing an entry summarizing my summer before school starts in a few weeks. I haven't been very persistant with keeping up the blog but since I have a speech tomorrow that I'm procrastinating on, I thought it was apropos for me to write something:

- The speech that I'm working on is for my Public Speaking class. We've done four speaches already and this one is the last speech of the class. I'm talking about drunk driving and the ways to prevent it from happening. I've enjoyed this class. My professor is a super nice lady who has a ton of personality. This has been one of my top 5 favorite classes at Cal State Fullerton so far.

- My friend Chad was able to get my website developed and looking nice. You can check it out at maguirephotos.com . The main thing that is holding me back from going all out with this photography stuff is not having a legit logo. I have a few friends who are into graphic design but I'm not super close to anyone of them. Once I get a nice looking logo I can get my business cards out and hopefully start getting some more gigs. I have some stuff lined up but all of the dates are TBA.

- It looks like I might be going back to the Hope International dorms for my last year of college. I'm not super excited to be going back and things might ultimately change. It would be great to grub at the cafeteria again but I like the "grown up" feel of having the apartment.

- I've done a decent amount of reading this summer. Just finished a book called "Prophet of the Sandlots" by Mark Winegardner. The author traveled for around a year with an old baseball scout who was arguably the most successful scout in the history of baseball.

- I registered for classes a few weeks ago and will pick one last class once Titan II begins. I'm only going to classes Tuesday and Thursday and I have one class Wednesday at four. One of my goals for this last semester is to strike a good balance between wanting to graduate and enjoying my last year of school. I know that I'm going to miss college once I've graduated but I also just want to be finished with it and move on to the next chapter of my life.

Hey dude! Glad to hear you've been up to some good stuff this summer--it's so easy to waste summers and not do anything productive (I speak from personal experience). I've enjoyed hanging out with you a few times over the summer; we'll have to do it again soon!
