My Tattoo

I got my tattoo last night in Denton. WHOOP! I put a picture of it under my pics so check it out. It's pretty simple, and I didn't do the whole tribal thing I originally planned on doing. I may still go back and write a Bible verse above the cross, but I'm not sure yet. I think it's pretty cool, let me know what y'all think. Thanks and Gig 'Em!

Also thanks to those who went with me. I LOVE YOU GUYS!

2005, Goodbye and Thank You

What a great year this has been. Yes, there have been bad times, but overall it has been a very memorable, and exciting year. This year had a lot of ends, and beginnings. It held the end of high school and everything that was associated with me still being a 'student' on his way to become an adult. Upward Bound came to an end. I graduated. I realized I didn't want to go to the Marine Corps just yet. I decided on going to A&M. I declined over $100,000 from schools like Baylor, UNT, and TCU. I went to DC twice. I got a shit load of other scholarship money. I turned 18. I have come to know myself better. I got into a serious relationship. I got out of a serious relationship (last week). I went to my first Aggie football game. I went to Silver Taps, Midnight Yell, Fish Camp, a Ring Dunking party, and so on. I've humped it with 80,000 Ags. I marched on Kyle. I whipped out, and I pulled out for the first time. I've been smoked, and boofed. (It's an Aggie thing; from the outside looking in you wouldn't get it, from the inside looking out you can't explain it and you can't see it any other way) I've met the friends of a lifetime, and hopefully sometime this week, I will have gotten a tattoo. This was the best year of my life thus far. I have had so much fun, and before 2005 the best year of my life was 2002. That was my first year in Upward Bound, so to those who were there, they may have a good idea why :) So much has happened this year too. Hurricanes, tsunami's, tornadoes, and so on. I think the world may be coming to an end. But anyway, thank you to all those who have helped make this year awesome. All my Aggie friends, and friends from home alike. I love you guys!!!

My Home Away From Home

Well I am home now, and its been good so far. I started working at Steven's Street and thats been fun. I am looking for a vehicle right now and getting ready for Christmas and all that business. I've got to see a lot of my friends and met a few new people as well. We had a surprise birthday party for my aunt last night, and that went really well. I've gotten two of my grades back so far. I did better than I thought in Zoology, and I ended up with a C, which is a well deserved C, and I ended up with a B in Sociology, which is not as well as I thought I would do. I still don't know about Logic or Political Thought. I just got hom from volunteering at the church. I am just too tired to do stuff right now, but I really don't know what I am tired from. Nothing is really going on. I am working on my application for NCA and just chillin the rest of the time. Well, thats it for now. Sorry Angie that I don't have much to write about.

I Love My Friends!

My friends are so freaking awesome! I got so much cool stuff for Christmas, and I am going to miss all my Aggie friends when I go home :( Angie and Diany bought me a James Avery cross ring. I've been wanting one of those forever. They also got me a gift card to Hasting's, one of my all time favorite places to shop, lots of chocolate, and Ramen noodles...lol. Steven got me Harry Potter, the first one on DVD, a gift card to Freebirds, because I LOVE FREEBIRDS, Friends, the ninth season on DVD, and a belt with a huge A&M belt buckle. I love it!!! My friends are so cool! I love 'em all. Well I guess I better get back to studying. Two tests tomorrow...wish me luck. Gig 'Em Ags!!!

The Chronicles of Narnia, Compared to my Boring Life

I went to see the Chronicles of Narnia last night. OMG that is now one of my favorite movies!! It's like a kiddy movie, but it is really good. Lots of action, and suspense. You kind of know whats gonna happen next but its just so good. An awesome adaptation and lots of allusions to the Bible. I don't want to give away too much, but definitely go see it. I don't say movies are good unless they are really good....like Harry Potter. I wish I could find a magical wardrobe to Narnia and become a king....but anyway. Enough about the enchanted lands of Narnia,....I have so much studying to do. I have a Zoology and Political Thought test Monday, a Logic test Tuesday, and a Sociology test Wednesday. I've studied a little bit...not too much. The only ones I am really worried about are the ones I have on Monday. I got a call today from Steven's Street Grill, back home, so that is where I will be working during the break. Yay! I still gotta do some Christmas shopping, and stuff. I can't wait to go home and see everyone especially D Rey!!! I love you D Rey! But besides thinking about Narnia, and studying, nothing else is going on. I want give a shout out to Jeni from the Block because she reads my posts and leaves me lots of comments!! I am sorry they are so boring. Love ya Jeni! And everyone else who reads my blogs. Take care and Gig 'em!

So C-c-c-c-c-c-cold

Why is it so cold? I live in the ghetto of the A&M dorms, and me and my roomate aren't sue how to work the heater. Yea, its cold. Besides my blood starting to freeze everytime I step outside, everything else is pretty chill. Finals, finals, and finals, is pretty much all that is going on, besdies the fact that it is COLD. I am sorry, I don't like cold weather. I did my inprocessing for the Corps, yesterday, so that was cool. I am excited about gettin back in and gettin my boots, plus getting my Aggie Ring!! Whoop! More thank likely my blogs next semester will consist of a lot of complaining, then rejoicing because its all over. I really have to get back in shape. I tried to see how many push ups I could do, and I did 35 before I started to get tired. I just stopped. I'll try again tonight. When I was in the Corps I did 83 in two minutes. That was more than any fish in my outfit. My run time, pull ups, and sit ups were pretty good too. I have to get to work....just not today. :) My finals begin Monday and end Wednesday...I am still not sure when I will be going home. I hope I can have some fun this weekend. I want to go dancing, and maybe to a movie. I can't believe I am going to be gone for a month. :( I am gonna miss Aggieland. I wish everyone the best of luck on their finals and test, and be careful out in the cold. Gig 'Em!

fish Hernandez....its almost official.

Well after much consideration to a lot of things I have finally decided to go back to the Corps. I think it will be worth it in the end. Yea, I won't have as much freedom or independence that I have now as a non-reg but in the end I think I will be thankful for my decision. I will begin my inprocessing tomorrow and finish it up on Thursday. I am a little scared right now, but I think everything will be okay. Besides the resolution of that dilemma, everything else is okay. I am about to go to my last lecture of the semester. We don't have classes tomorrow or the day after so thats good. Silver Taps is tonight, and my finals start on Monday. I will probably go home around next Wednesday or Thursday. I need to call Steven's Street about my job, and NCA about a summer job. I was so busy last summer I never got to do NCA, but I have wanted to work for them ever since my sophomore year. Next July I am also going to Costa Rica to study abroad. Thats pretty exciting. I've been doing a lot of my Christmas shopping too, and I am almost done. Really, the only thing I am worried about is getting above a 3.0, and getting everythig situated with the Corps. I have to leave my room, my roommate (who turns out to be pretty cool), I have to get my hair cut :(, and all this other crap. But oh well. I am really tired right now and I have to go to class. I got a 93 on my Sociology paper, and a C again on my Political Thought paper. That sucks, I hate that class. Well anyway. Post me some comments about my tattoo design, cause I need to know!! Thanks, and Gig 'Em!

The link to my tattoo design: http://photobucket.com/albums/b245/adhernandez/?action=view¤t=TattooDesign.jpg

It won't be exactly like that, just very similar....keep in mind I drew a lot of that design. I also need help choosing the Bible verse that will go on top. Just let me know! :)

The End is Near

Tomorrow will be the beginning of the last full week of my first full semester here at A&M. It went by so frikin fast, I can't believe its over. I have been trying to do my Christmas shopping, and I keep buying random crap. I've shopped for my sister already, but I haven't bought Tony anything yet. I wanted to get them both iPods, but I think that would be too much of a hassle for them and really expensive for me. My sister's gift was still kind of expensive anyway. I am still undecided about the Corps. I keep talking to different people, and I am gettig mixed opinions. I just don't know. Honestly, nothing has been going on. Everyone is so busy getting ready for finals and stuff, its just been hectic. I am hoping I can go see Brokeback Mountain this week, cause it comes out Friday. I miss Desiree. I miss Beth. I miss Josh, and all my other friends :( I hope to see you all soon. Until next time, leave me some lovin, and God Bless.
