Good, long day

Well I had a great day today,
I started off the day quite early, at around 8 AM. It always feels like I have so much more time if I start of the day quite early. I just got my liscence this week and so I drove to go surfing, which was loads of fun.
I then got to a nice little surfing break, it was pretty warm out, so that was obviously nice.
The waves were about shoulder-head high (measured when the surfer is standing up) and were also crowded. I caught some good ones but it wasnt that great of a session, mostly compared to my last ones which were each more amazing then the other.
After that I headed home, I got caught in traffic and decided to take a side street instead of the main big street, well I regretted this decision when I had to turn back into the main street. It took me 20 minutes to get through 2 blocks, just to get me back into some more traffic. Anyways, I got home, ate, got dressed and all that and then headed down to my girlfriend's house by bike.
Well the bike ride was nice exept my bike scares me as it needs some repairing and the chain can basically derail whenever. It was really warm outside which I also loved.
After that I saw my girlfriend and stayed with her for a couple hours, that was quite enjoyable. She then had to leave so I headed back home on my bike. I stopped at a Rite aid to pick up a drink, got a great deal on it and just sipped it while basking in the sun on a bench next to the store. I just love stopping for half an hour or so and just relaxing. After that I passed by wallgreens, got some CD-r's to put some tunes on for car rides and now I am home, just relaxing.
Mmmmmm what a good day.

back from vacation!

Well I am back home from Mexico.
As always I am somewhat happy to be home but my vacation was just so nice that I wouldn't mind staying in Mexico for a bit longer.
To sum up my vacation I was surfing everyday for 7-9 hours a day in warm water! Wave wise we got some really small to flat days and we got one really nice day with overhead waves, I couldn't have asked for more!
Anyways I was in a small village and really appreciated it compared to my first 2 days in a bigger town. It really is a different atmosphere and a different lifestyle. Down in a village life is much more relax, the time is pretty insignificant for me and everything is quite and friendly. Even in the water i noticed that everyone was friendly. This is a change from many crowded breaks near my place.
Well a video of my surfing is on the way for your enjoyment :P

Relaxing my mind

Well I found a great way to relax my mind after a long day of work. Basically I enjoy walking up a hill with my skateboard just to go right down it at high speeds.
Coming up is always nice and relaxing, theres not much to think about, its great! But going down is even better. First of all its a little reward after that long uphill, but after its just exhilarating. Its intense because i feel the board wobbling under me every now and then, i have to watch the cracks in the road, have to watch for people and cars and i have to watch out for myself!
The problem is my only way of stopping is basically jumping off infront of the board and catching it when it rolls back down.
Simply going down a steep part to head onto a turn is exhilarating, and at a moment I get alot of speed before going on a long flat section which is pretty scary but also so rewarding and it just gets all the energy out of me.
Now i really want to buy a longboard, I have no clue what kind of board to buy so help is always appreciated

Well heres the daily comic before i go:

Mood changes and relaxation

Well I've noticed that I went thrue many many moods today.
I started out normal, pretty emotionless, still sleeping. Then I was pissed followed by feeling somewhat sluggish. That feeling then when on during 3 hours of class that were the most unproductive and boring of my life. I then came home and felt sad, and my driving was stressed out, something was probably on my nerves. Now I had a happy moment and now I'm slowly plunging into sleepy mode because its almost relaxation time!
Well that was my day mood wise, pretty crazy when I think of it.

The fact that its almost my relaxation time made me think of the usefulness of relaxing and how essential it is for me and probably many others. What I do is after I finish all my work for the day, I go on my bed (because its usually late) and get anywhere between one and two hours of relaxation time. I find that it keeps me happy and that it makes me fall asleep faster and makes me sleep better. Well I'l leave you with a comic just to go relax some more. Have a nice happy relaxation sesh!

happiness

well i got 720 on my SAT for math, placing me in the 96th percentile!! I am honestly quite happy and impressed with myself.
Me and my group also passed for our TPE (huge project we present) and did quite well (the people ask questions after), but we don't get grades til june 30th...
Other then that after passing, we got 4 free hours which was relaxing as I don't recall having had that much free time in quite a while.
I have also been thinking about my futur, wondering what kind of job I will be doing. I used to think research in chemistry, but now im leaning towards biology. Any advice on both professions is greatly appreciated!!!
Well comic of the day here i come:
