So... I'm back to writing this. The last four months have easily ranked themselves among the least enjoyable and most stressful of my life. Probably even higher up on that chart than my time in the military. But... I'm back, and I've learned a lot about myself. Same could be said of how important it is to stay true to yourself, your dreams, and to have good people in your life that truly support and help you be you.
Speaking of good people... I have to mention the name Trevor Whitman. Not sure if I'd completely bless off on him being a saint just yet, but so far I'd have to say that he's at least a positive-energy kind of guy whose enthusiasm and consistently upbeat demeanor is rather infectious. Same goes for his wife, Christina. I say that because having survived the tornado that ravaged the remnants of this past semester... I've got my life back together to the point that I've been able to get back into the gym and I absolutely love being there. So much so that the last couple of days has really solidified for me what it is that I want to specialize in within the fields of psychology and biology. Sports science, or "fight science" if you will. Yep... that's officially my thing.
On Tuesday I shared that realization with Trevor amidst a conversation about the various aspect of fighting, and he welcomed the idea of my working with him and the people that frequent the gym. Not only that but he let me in on what he thinks is the biggest need as far as the psychological side of the game goes. I got to say that I'm pretty close to being as excited as Rebecca Black on a Friday. I feel more focused, determined, and confident in my academic pursuits now that I have a specific goal to aim for. I feel like a train that has been locked onto its rails properly, and the only thing left to do is to fire up the furnace. Next stop... Loki Jones the fight scientist.
