Still Here

Yeah, I'm still alive, just busy as usual. Sorry I haven't written more, but the end of the semester is nuts. So I didn't get that internship at PPD which was a little disconcerting, because its the first job I've ever applied for and not gotten. Oh well, not the end of the world I suppose. Been really naughty over thanksgiving, but Rohatsu starts in less than 3 days, so I don't think it will be a problem. I guess I should explain what Rohatsu is.

The story goes like this: The buddha reached enlightenment on December the 8th. Therefore, buddhists celebrate that day, and they also created a holiday for December 1st through the 7th. Not your typical holiday though, in fact, its quite the opposite. Basically they use the 7 days for a sort of super training. They sleep less, meditate more, and focus harder. They already do everything to the best of their ability, this is just a time to REALLY focus on what they already do.

I have decided to recognize the holiday this year, and have devised my own system for doing so. I will wake up at 6am all 7 days, work out all 7 days, meditate all 7 days, and be aware to the best of my ability. I will also be writing here every night, so stay tuned.

Well, gotta get to bed now. Talk to you all soon.
