I’m Back

Hello blogging world, it is Jacob here for another term of blogging as an assignment for one of my classes. Last term I was assigned to blog almost every other week on various topics from the election to obscene images in the media and various ways media influnences us, for my Mass Media and Soceity class at the University of Oregon. Well now I’m back using the blog I created for that class and using it to complete my “Project 2″ for Computer Science 110 class this term. This class is just about the basics of Computer Science and a prerequsite for some classes I want to take for my Multimedia minor. So because this is just a project I don’t need to right about anything in particular which is cool so enough with this, let’s start blogging!! Haha.

So, what should I talk about? I think I’m just going to talk about life, kinda boring, but it will get me the points I need for this assignment so what the heck. So the last blog post I had on here was posted two days before I left for the most valuable and rewarding three weeks of my life. I went back to good old California for Chrsitmas Break! Three weeks with the people and in the places I wanted to be most! It was so nice to just be home and relax and not worry about school and just Live it Up! That is one of many mottos I live by so if I refer to it a lot, sorry. Haha. But going home for Christmas break was also extremely difficult and not like anything I expected. My family had gotten used to me not being there and I had to, that when our two new worlds met, they collided with force. There was arguing, tension, and hardship, if that is even the right word, for some of my time home. My parents wanted to give the independence I wanted and needed but at the same time didn’t know how to do that. I can understand that. There were a few times where I just broke down and felt like I was in a different world than what I had left just ten weeks earlier. It was a weird feeling. But by the end of the break I knew that this was the best thing that ever happened to me. My parents and I had figured it out. I’ll just leave it at that. We have an understanding of each other. My parents are two of my best friends and I love them more than anything, along with my brothers and sisters. I am just so happy we did what we did and made it work. I felt extremely close to my parents before I came home from school and after I left in the beginning of January after break I feel like extremely close does not even describe it. So now that we have done the emotional parts, the fun parts of Christmas break. Well, I spent most of my time with my best friends, hanging out watching movies, going dancing at some country bar in our Old Town(it was kinda fun actually), enjoying New Years(maybe a little too much), and just being a kid again. I loved every moment of Christmas break and did not want it to end! I wish I could go back home right now and do that for the rest of my life. Be a kid. Well we all know that’s not going to happen but we can dream thats how life was meant to be, eventhough we very well know that it is not. Don’t get me wrong I want to grow up, I just loved being 16,17, and 18, I want to live in those years forever!!

So Christmas break was great and when I came back to school it was great too. It was so nice to come back and see everyone and start over fresh. It was tough at first just getting readjusted to school and all but it was great to have to readjust. It was also nice how I felt like I had never left and all my friends and I just were like it was old times and we had never left. Classes started well and are continuing to go well. I’m so glad I go to the this school and love ever minute of it. I’m having so much fun and love it here! California will always be my home but right now I’m happy to be and forever be a Duck!!
