... "... It was the age of WISDOM. It was the age of FOOLISHNESS. It was the epoch of BELIEF. It was the epoch of INCREDULITY ..."
(--Charles Dickens, 'A Tale of Two Cities')
... The FACT that I QUOTED Mr. Dickens in my high school VALEDICTORY--nearly 13 YEARS ago--"illustrates" two MAJOR-/GLARING-issues:
1) Even THEN, I WAS--& still AM--an INSIGHTFUL yet POIGNANT "'voice' of REASON".
2) I've ALWAYS-"led ... a very 'ROLLERCOASTER-life'" of ''UPs n' DOWNs''.
... The aforementioned-quote EPITOMIZES MY-life NOW MORE-than EVER:
I possess a "BUTT-LOAD" of "WISDOM", INTELLIGENCE & INSIGHT, ... DESPITE my frequent-"FOOLISHNESS". ... Observers have NO-CHOICE but-to "BELIEVE" my "IN-credible" PHYSICAL-FEATS & MENTAL-ACCOMPLISHMENTS!
-- I DID RE-read my transcript & Class-schedule for my PENDING RE-"Start" of my Master's-education at the "Huizenga College of Business/Entrepreneurship" on
MAY 10th.
... THUS, since my class STARTS at 6:00 pm EST, & I'll GO-by the ~6:00 am of my BEGINNING this blog-POST, THAT's in ... ~204 HOURS.
(... 8.5 DAYS times 24 HOURS = ... 204 hours)
((... How I--MENTALLY--"break it DOWN":
8 x 20 + (8 x 4) + (0.5 x 24) = ?))
... My ONE--CURRENT--class will be
"Accounting and Finance Foundations".
--> The "Course-TITLE" "draws-OUT" GREAT-feelings of AMBIVALENCE:
On ONE-hand, I'm rather-EAGER/-EXCITED, 'cuz "ACCOUNTING" means there'll be ALOTTA MATH.
(... The word has "COUNTING" IN it!)
On the OTHER, I'm HESITANT/WORRISOME, 'cuz I received/earned an 'A-' ('A "MINUS"') in "INTRODUCTORY-Accounting" in the "Fall 2007"-term.
(... So, 'twas SLIGHTLY-BELOW MY HIGH-Standards of EXCELLENCE*. ... My FINAL cumulative-GPA--for my time in/at the ESTEEMED/HIGHLY-regarded
"St. Thomas Aquinas HIGH SCHOOL" was ... 4.7613.)
(... HOW/WHY do I remember THAT?!
...
It's NUMERICAL!)
(... I was/AM SUCH a ... NERD!)**
... ALSO, I CHANGED my MAJOR: I'd ORIGINALLY-selected "Entrepreneurship"--in 2007--as my MAJOR. I RECENTLY-altered my "SPECIFIC-topic of STUDY" to--the MORE-"SELF-applicable"--"MANAGEMENT".
-- I had ANOTHER "SOLID"-workout at 'NeuroFit 360'.
(... I did a FAIR-amount of "WALKING", some "LEG-dip VARIATIONS & ALOTTA stretching. ... PLUS, I met a nice, NEW trainer.)
-- I am certainly-NOT "ANTI-social"! ... But, in lieu of my--TEMPORARY--STRUGGLES to COGENTLY-speak AND/OR "play-SPORTS", I've become EERILY dependent-upon my LAPTOP & TELEVISION to keep me BUSY.... PLUS, I LIKE-to ADD some-kind/-form of calisthenic-EXERCISE "into the mix"/SIMULTANEOUSLY.(... I.e. I JUST-did ~11 minutes of REVERSE-crunches, WHILE I watched 'Transporter 3'.)(... RATHER-than COUNTING my situps, I just "CRUNCH", 'til I get-TIRED.)
(... I'd "LOSE-count". ... PRE-accident, I had a DAILY exercise-routine EVERY-morning ... in ADDITION-to my "Martial Arts"-activities.)
(... 2 TWO-hour evenings + 1 TWO-hour morning + 1 ONE-hour afternoon at/of Karate-/Jiujitsu-WORKOUTS)
-- EVERY-day I MUST/HAFTA "HIGHLIGHT"*** the GOOD ... as-WELL-as the BAD aspects of MY-day ... to "ILLUSTRATE" just-how SPECTACULAR at "'HURDLE'-jumping"/"OBSTACLE-clearing" ... I am.
... By describing the "DEPTHS of my 'moral-TROUGHS'", it BETTER-"paints pictureS" of just how-SIGNIFICANT my timely-"CRESTS"/-IMPROVEMENTS are.
-- I've DECIDED that I REALLY-ENJOY this WRITING/TYPING/BLOGGING! I've ALWAYS-been MORE-numerical THAN -linguistic. YET, I DO-"RELISH" my "Rehab-REPORTING"! ... I feel I kinda-HAFTA "ADD some HUMOR" INTO "the MIX". ... So, I'm "TESTING my CREATIVITY". ... PLUS, my SELF-imposed "NIGHTLY-requirement" ... FORCES me to "WORK" in a TIMELY-manner.
KEY
* = Would y'ALL BELIEVE that--I'm almost-CERTAIN--I did-NOT earn anything LESS-than an 'A'--for an academic-"marking-period"--until sophomore-year ... of COLLEGE ... at/in an "Ivy League"-university?!
(... SOCIAL-atmosphere of "Greek-"/FRATERNITY-life + EXCESS-alcohol + assorted/random TOMFOOLERY/SHENANIGANS = CONSTANT-"distractions")
(... Telegram JUST-in: "'A.J. Kaynatma' IS, in-FACT, human ... more or less.")
** = IsN'T the "QUANTITATIVE-functioning/-computing SECTION" of the brain located in the LEFT-hemisphere ... the neural-side I DID hit/INJURE/DAMAGE in my accident?!
*** = As an OPTIMIST, I "see" the word--"highlight"--as "bringing 'LIGHT' to the 'HIGH'-points" of a story".
