Getting back into the flow

After an enthusiastic jump into the blogosphere, I promptly fell flat on my face due to a variety of reasons. This particular post will carry a personal tone, as I attempt to exercise my literary abilities in a natural and refreshing environment by writing about what I know best, my life.

My posts became few and nearly nonexistent when I returned home to Hawaii. The distractions and pleasure in seeing friends and family again made it easy to toss blogging on the side. I went to the beach nearly everyday during winter break, particularly the east breaks which thoroughly pounded me on many occasions.

Unfortunately, my return to Washington State University got off to a very rough start. I got myself involved into serious legal problems, and without getting explicit, I can reveal that I am still suffering from this situation to this very day. I am trying to keep myself busy by picking up two additional jobs on top of mentoring. I am a clerical assistant and I was hired to be a Daily Evergreen columnist. However, in my eagerness to do everything, I began to spread myself thin, and haven’t been able to put together anything for the Evergreen. It’s frustrating because the Evergreen is looking for specific topics, and is always looking for ways to tie an piece back to the University. It doesn’t help that the University consists of about 30 thousand of possibly the most religious, politically, and socially apathetic group of people in the nation. I was looking for an outlet to nudge this lack of enthusiasm, but the limited ability of the position only allows for a whisper of a voice.

At the present, I am still attempting to get rid of this legal case in the most efficient way possible, as financially and emotionally costly as it is. Once it blows over, I hope to churn out articles and pieces to both this blog and to the Evergreen on a much more regular basis.

In the meantime, I hope that this explanation clarifies the lack of updates and attention to this blog.

I hope that you are doing well, and if not, that you are pressing on through it all.

Cheers.
