It is once again time for another chapter

If I were keeping track of chapters ACTUALLY, this would be

Chapter 3 of
Chris' Life as a growing Adult/College Student/Waycoolguy

Prologue:

So, last we left off was something towards the end of the spring semester. I managed to pull off a relatively decent if not a high mark for my University career thus far. After school let out, I left for the homeland for a quick Stockton detox (god knows that needs to happen every once and a while). I come back, rent an apartment with my great bff Ni. We get all that done, I manage to avoid getting my car ticketed and am still without a REGISTERED car. I'll rant about the latter some other time. I manage to grab a few gigs, start my serious music writing rhythm and even get to expand my network exponentially.

Some advice for those kids who are just getting here in Stockton today and somehow magically come across this place. you really really need to:

1: Lose the mindset that Stockton is this Uber dangerous place that if you walk off the precious UOP property, you are just waiting to be mugged/shot/maimed/smited.

It's not really THAT dangerous. Like any place, you just have to be aware of your surroundings and learn about it. There's a lot of great things off campus.

2: Get off of campus.

I don't mean go home and hang out with your fam every time for your UOP detox. I mean take the 40 express down pacific and head downtown and catch a movie or go to the mall or do SOMETHING. I feel like I could be a much more interesting person if I was able to explore more.

So those are just some of the things I learned this summer and gained. I really didn't travel anywhere amazing. I mean, I did go to Sac a few times. Tracy even. All in all, it was a good summer for me myself.

Now it is time to head into a new school year. To help mark the situation symbolically and literally, I am doing a 72 hour water fast.

With that little bit of info, that brings us to where I am currently. Tomorrow is another day closer to business and greater skills. I feel like this is enough. I'll let readers in on my other en devours later like my new job and what I see there and what is lately occupying most of my time.

Take it easy and live a good life!
