BEDA 31 REALLY?

Well.....
I guess.....
This is.....
Goodbye.

NOT!

BEDA is over, but blogging is not!

Why was I so sad today then?
I was sad because I was no longer going to be forced by my own responsible self to write everyday! I was sad because I would not get to share my thoughts with you guys, and get the most positive feedback ever! I was sad because I'm really going to miss reading blog posts everyday! I was sad because I feel like I haven't commented on enough blog posts!

No matter. I never took BEDA for granite (correct spelling?) I felt that this whole experience has been a gift, privilege, etc.

So, as I said, Blogging will not end here. I plan to blog hopefully once a week at least with a nice topic!

Thank you guys for putting up with me! Even through those days where I did less that I should've, but even for the ranting days.

BEDA had a purpose, it made me more comfortable with written expression, and it settled my nerves for college and life. That you all.

=D

BEDA 30 Three Parts!

Today, I had to go to the Post office to pick up my Geology Textbook. When I arrived, there was a group of people waiting outside, so I waited in line with them. About five minutes went by, so I taped the shoulder in front of me and asked, "When do they open?" The lady stared at me and said, "They are open. This line is for us mail carriers pickin' up our truck keys."

xD
Nick: Mailman wannabe apparently.

Good afternoon, Bloggers!
Well, I guess it doesn't have to be afternoon when you read this. In fact, even just due to time zones, it makes the "good afternoon" entirely more complicated to predict it accurately. But, I guess blogs ARE Omnipresent. They are read right now AND in the upcoming months of me reading BEDA posts. On the note of Blogspot's omnipresencity, this site is like a drop box where time is irrelevant. When creating a post, you can chose the exact date and time that the post will be recorded as "officially posted." This means that if I wanted to, I could make this blog post that i am currently typing listed as old as three months ago! Wait. I was wrong. That doesn't make Blogspot's posts entirely irrelative to time, because the Blog is in itself, read at one point in time. It can't be read any possible time, just POSTED any possible time. Does that make sense?

Anyway, how are you? This is the penultimate post of BEDA. Tomorrow will be a reflective day, but as for today, it is one of procrastination. Today was boring and stressful. I need excitement. Hmm... where do I find EXCITEMENT POWDER? I'll be on the hunt. Any suggestions?
I hope you enjoyed this 3-part blog.
It had everything you ever needed!

1. An anecdote.
2. A reflection on Blogspot's/ Blogging's presence in time.
3. Nick's feelings.

Have an excellent night! (or whatever time you read this :0)

BEDA 28 Saturdays?!

Sometimes I feel like Apple has like a huge warehouse filled to the brim with products that they’re going to release over the next 20 years. Apple watches, calculators, touchscreen televisions, etc. Ya know the iPad? Yeah, it was probably thought of back when Windows XP came out, and THAT STINKS.


Today’s blog is going to be MINI RANT!


I hate politics. I don’t really see how anyone can argue for or against another point. There is SO MUCH material that I would have to learn for me to form one singular, solid opinion.


When I was younger, I believed that Math was created only to make my entire middle school experience absolute torture.


I am only sometimes intrigued by science. I mean, I like the idea of Biology more than I like mitosis.


I absolutely LOVE all things English. When I was in high school, when my teacher gave us worksheets of dissecting a sentence, I would ask for more, just so I could have fun!


Another thing that I only sometimes like is Sports. I like to watch and play friendly football, but I don’t like actual official teamed sports.


I hate when I listen to music for a straight month, and I get tired of the artist, but then my friends get into the band, and I am forced to listen to them! :D


I like to smile.


I don;t like it when my desktop (computer is cluttered)


I find rants annoying!


That was my quick blog for the day!


Love yall!


Yay Saturdays!

BEDA 27 BEST DAY EVER

Today had one goal. The goal? To have the best day ever.

I woke up.
I danced.
I played sang some DFTBA music.
I poured myself a bowl of Apple Jacks
I ate my breakfast while watching TWO episodes of Boy meets World.
I went into my room to get dressed/ready for school.
While doing so I watched A Very Potter Sequel for the Millionth time.
I whistled on my way to the bathroom, where I spent time on my dental hygiene.
I grabbed my backpack, and headed off to school, while listening to my Mountain Goats mix CD.
I had a 12:00 class today, and that's a tad little-bit suckish, since on Friday, most classes end at noon. I was happy, however.
I sat in the hallway across from a girl, while I read The Hunger Games.
This girl is very cute, and smiley.
We always see each other, smile, and say "hey."
Since today was my Best Day Ever, I said "Hey" first, and we chatted.
Then, in class (Education Class,) I took notes on exciting Education things!
Also, I got to choose what school I want to observe at this semester! Old High School FTW
After class, I dawned my iPod headphones and walked to my car, drove the backroads home, and ate a good lunch.
I watched some 30 Rock, while reading blog posts, and then I went to Dustin's house.
We went to some shops, I bought Twilight for my mom, and I got myself some Play-Dough.
Then, I ate a Subway sandwich for supper, and went to Baskin Robbins (the place where I worked for two years.)
While in there, I told an old friend hi, got a free 7-UP, and left.
Now, we are at a friend's new apartment on campus, playing old school Nintendo 64 games.
This was a good day.

Sometimes, I feel like if you start off the day with a mindset of "suck" the day will go accordingly. But, if we think in advance and plan our day positively, like with the music listening or submitting myself to watching things I adore, then we are happy. If the controllable things in our life are made positive, then we'll have a better outlook on the uncontrollable. EXAMPLE: If I listen to Alex Day BEFORE class, then a class, where I am in school 50 minutes past 95% of the other students, then the class will be nicer than normal. I plan on taking on my days to come with this uplifting spirit. I just learned something from BEDA. Awesome.

My challenge to you guys, is to take a day in the near future, and make sure you fill it with things that make you happy, in between the uncontrollable things, that way it will be a positive day.

I'll see yall tomorrow!


SKYPE UPDATE:
MAybe some time in September, I'll Blog and we can have a comment thread on good times for everyone?

First Thought of the Day: "This is the BEST. DAY. EVER."

BEDA Thoughtful Thoughtfulness Thoughts

So, I was cutting the grass this evening, listening to my Looking For Alaska Audiobook (As you do,) and I was stricken with great enthusiasm for NaN&$*#&$

> Are you talking about Nanowrimo again?
>>Um maybe. Who ARE you?
>I'm a troll.
>>Oh
>Yeah
>>Hmm
>Indeed
>>So, why-
>STOP TALKING ABOUT NANOWRIMO IN THIS BLOG. THIS IS FOR BEDA, not promoting your Nanowrimo account!
>>Well, I'm not promoting it; I just think about it a lot.
>Rahh! Your blogging days are almost over! You're going to regret this come September!
>>But...But...Bu.... WHAT ABOUT SKYPE?!
>Skype?! Why....... That just might be crazy enough to work!
>>But, we need to somehow coordinate some future day in time, where we can chat with the readers in September.
>Skype appointments are hard though!
>>We can make it work?
>We CAN!
>>Deal?
>DEAL!

So, College is tiring and crazy still. I'm still in the mental stages of story exposition. Also, I've been generally despondent lately. I love the encouragement you guys give me, though, don't think that I hate that stuff; it's just that I have had bad days recently. So IT'S DECIDED:

TOMORROW WILL BE THE BEST DAY EVER!!!!
I Don't know how I will make it so, but I will write down my events, and the blog post resulting from the great event will be grand!

So, to everyone reading this on Thursday night or even on friday, make SURE to make Friday our GREATEST DAY EVER!
Leave suggestions in comments for SKYPE PARTY AND GREAT DAY IDEAS!!!

WOO!

BEDA 26 DFTRIA Esther

So, I'm typing this up while in my 4 hour night eduction class. We currently have a short break. I wanted today's blog to be in rememberance of Esther Earl, who has passed away due to her fight with cancer. On the internet, Esther has been an icon of pure hope and encouragement. So, for today's post, I will leave it at this:

Thank you Esther,

For showing me that Nerdfighteria is there when you need it.
For giving me lasting inspiration to look on the bright side.
For beeing a shining light in a dim situation.

May you rest in piece, and as some are saying, DFTRIA
(Don't Forget to Rest in Awesome)

-Nick
