Christmas come and gone
Posted by J.S. Lewis in All, Uncategorized on December 26th, 2008
Well folks, the Christmas season has come and gone, but with it’s passing it has left with us memories that will last for years to come. Normally I get the Christmas blues the day after, but this year there wasn’t so much “Christmas” leading up to Christmas. This combined with my excitement to go back to school makes has left me only looking forward to the future, not wallowing in the past.
I hope everyone has had a good Christmas this year as I have, and if this was one of those downers for you, I can relate. We’ve all had those Christmas’s.
As a side note: This is the longest blog I have every kept running and up to date; 8 Months.
Merry Post Christmas Everyone,
Jack

So many things are on the horizon these days, it’s unbelievable. Christmas is just around the corner, I’m going back to school in two weeks, and I’m going to be moving out in a few months.
I’m extremely excited to go back to college and High School. I’ve been out of the educational loop for so long I’m starting to get “absence of school” fever. At the High school I will be taking an advance media class which will be very fun. At the college I will be taking another media class that focuses on programming.
Yours,

Hello Again Each and Every One,
My future education has been quite convoluted the last few days (convoluted is such an amazing work it means: Difficult to understand because of intricacy; Having numerous overlapping coils or folds.) But I think tonight I have figured it all out. I haven’t wanted to do this because I feel that it will just set me back, but my brother has convinced me to acquire a media degree prior to getting my Associates of Arts. I need to get a media degree anyway, it’s just that it’s easier than getting an A.A. Thus I feel that it’s play before work. But I guess it’s what I must do.
As far as the movie is going, we hit a set back but were working our way through it. We completely stopped working on the film for one week and thus we are a week behind. I really should have just worked this into the schedule anyway because there are always things like this in the filming process. But the good news is we are back on track and will begin filming next week… the end of next week… grumble grumble. The Sequim High School Student Film festival isn’t until April, but I have to completely finish editing the film before I begin my college classes. Every year in High School when I would start working on my film, I would always end up getting bad grades because I would loose focus on what’s truly important.
My 15-year plan
My goal is, that in fifteen years I will have $750,000 in liquadatable assets. How is this possible, seems far fetch. That is the usual response, well here is the thing, everything I do now will determine if this is a possibility or not. If I work really hard in college then I can get a really good job straight out of college. Soon I will be able to take out loans to build a storage facility, then another one, soon I will be building houses for rent, and then houses to sell. I have known people have done exactly this, maybe not in a fifteen year span, but still they have become very wealthy though property. In order to achieve this one must always have this mind set: “What am I doing in this very minute that will get me closer to my goal.” My brother adopted this ideology and it kept him focused all the way through college and beyond. Never forget your goal.
Yours,
Jack
