Evolution

The other night I was reading some of my posts that I written at this time last year. After looking at about 5 or 6 of them, I started to realize how much I have changed over the past year. Some things are still the same (my terrible study habits, but that is something that I am working on as we speak). I noticed that much of what I have learned was wisdom, something you can't learn from a book or a teacher. It's the things that you learn through experience. Some of the expeirences are hard, while others are not as difficult to endure. None the less, you come out of each situation with a new mindset as well as learning a little bit more about yourself. You also get a feel for who your real friends are during these times. I remember my mom told me one time that as you get older and mature more, you don't hang around with your old friends as much as you used to. Lately, I started to understand what she meant. I came home for the summer looking forward to seeing some of my friends, but now I think about it, I'd rather just lay low for the summer. I just wanna keep to myself for now until I feel like chillin' with them again. I'm starting to consider what my priorities are, and right now my number one priority is to take some summer classes to bring up my GPA. If that means sacrificing my whole summer, then so be it. It was a choice I made subconsciencly, when I was hanging with my friends when I should've been studying or doing homework. For me, this summer, the only thing I'm looking forward to is getting back into race condition for the fall. Now, don't be think that I'm all depressed and stuff, I'm still the same Brandon S. James that you've come to know and love so dearly. Like I said earlier, I'm just a little bit wiser.....and I still got my good looks. Booya.
