Well, it's been a *long* time since I've posted anything on Deviantart, this being caused by a bombardment of exams and last minute projects, but with graduation on saturday, the schoolwork has ceased for good and I'm left with a shell-shocked brain and question of how I'm going to spend my summer before college. I'm writing this journal now because, for some reason or another, my liquified cerebellum can somehow manage it and plus, I haven't talked to you (meaning D.A.) since January, which is almost unaccountable. Regardless, I'm just here to set everything in my life straight in case you wondered and to ask a couple questions regarding a new found hobby of mine: working out.
So, first off, I'm graduating Saturday. I survived the International Baccalaureate Program with *most* of my sanity intact, and my final plans for college are University of Florida (Go Gators!) with, as of right now, myself getting a Degree in Architecture with a possible minor in Spanish Language. So yeah, those are my plans for Fall, but I have an entire Summer to deal with and few ideas right now on how to deal with it. So, that's my first question. What could a guy like myself do to get back into art and writing? What's a good way to jump start my creativity again?
Okay, and secondly, I've found new refuge during this confusing time in physical exercise, specifically my BowFlex (*technically* not mine, but I use it the most). I love working out, it really helps calm my mind a bit and the results are pretty good too.
As much as I enjoy it, I've kind of hit a wall with everything I can do on that machine and was looking into either a quiet kind of martial arts like Tai-Chi, taking boxing lessons, or learning to surf to get a little more muscle on me and have some fun. Has anybody here done much in the way of martial arts or boxing? Or can anyone direct me to another possible form of exercise I could do (upper body especially)? I already do push ups and sit ups along with my routine.
Anway, I hope everyone is doing well and sorry for not being around the past few months. Once I get out of this physical/mental funk, I hope to post some new material on DA. Peace out, my fellow artists!
