Graduation

Hello hello hello,

I've been on some crazy shit lately. Let recap on what has been going on as far as I remember.

My school life. Prior to December, it's all been school. I've been working on school projects, homework assignments, and reading materials. I spent hours and hours inside of my school's lab for Computer Engineers, sometimes coming home when the sun came up around 6am. It's all fun and hard, eating unhealthy, drinking energy drinks, staying up 2 nights a week on a somewhat regular basis to meet deadlines. It was not the hardest semester at school, but it made me realize how much effort is involved when you sign up for this. Some students were in that lab 130 hours a week, while I at most spent 50 hours in there. Those crazy classes I have to anticipate X_X .

My gaming life. I was playing nothing but League of Legends and Counter-Strike:Source. School ended December 5th and I was playing LoL, all the way until Dec. 26th were I seem to have logged in for my last LoL game and have yet to play a game of League of Legends let alone open the game-client. My friends still play League of Legends, they played Star Wars: The Old Republic (I did not), and now (January) they are playing World of Warcraft. I agreed to play wow if Patryk can get up and go to the gym. So, the only game I've really touched recently has been CS:S.

Woop de doo. Lets get into my social life. I had no social life apart from my lab partners and class mates and Skype sessions to aid in study or speak with the regular USF crew of people. I went out very few times with either Matt, Senja, or Patryk either to eat, hangout, or go to an event or club. I did this mostly, when I had a few days break from in between the bursts of work I've been doing for classes. Otherwise I'd barricade myself in my room and not answer the annoying Senja calls.

My social life as school ended became a bit better, I started hanging out a bit more and going out to clubs to listen to good music and bust a move on the dance floor. The fact that I have had no regulations on myself, meaning, no set schedules really messed me up during my winter break. My bed time shifted from 2am->4am->6am->8am and was stuck around there for a while. I'd go to sleep when the sun came up and wake up around 4pm or 7pm when the sun was going down, only to be awake all night. I like the night because it's very productive, you're alone and nobody bothers you, you can focus on whatever it is you want to do. But doing this doesn't help you fit in socially, it really doesn't agree with my health either because I want to be going to the gym. (I'll speak about gym soon.)

New School Semester. School started January 9th and I was still on this terrible vampire schedule. I stil am actually, Yesterday I woke up at 1:24am and spent my entire time awake, holding out until 2:30am the next day and waking up around 8:30am... 1 hour later im writing this blog lol. So, I'm working on my schedule haaard. I've signed up for 4 classes this Spring 2012 semester. Cryptography and Info. Security, Algorithms, Operating Systems, and Javascript Web Development. I look forward to learning in all of these classes and have already been taking correct measures in making sure that I do not lag behind in the beginning of the semester like most people. I do my work. Derp. These classes are going to be tough though. I hope a little time-management and brain games will help me get through them.

GYM LIFE. Okay, one thing I am very excited about and love a lot is the gym. Always been a nutrition nerd, just dont have anything to prove for it really. Prior to December 5th, I've been doing pretty bad for myself. Once I got sick about 2 months before December, I was put out of the gym. I had a terrible cough that kept me up at night, sinus infection, and my right ear was clogged and I couldn't hear a single thing. I was on day/night medication for over 2 weeks straight. I was in NO position to go to the gym. I went on the first signs of getting sick and it destroyed me the following week. The sickness put me out of the gym for 1 month, and because of the sickness I was eating unhealthy. I couldn't focus on eating healthy food and staying up for school exams and focus on what I need to get done with my diet. I started eating candy, chips, and drinking energy drinks. I never do that regularly. This was probably the unhealthiest 2 months of the last couple years of my life, I was not even a fraction this unhealthy when I went on vacation to Poland over the summer. Anyway, the sickness and school pressures put me out of the gym cycle once gain (I get kicked off my gym cycle like 2 times a year on a regular basis now, and have to pick up again.)

Gym Life; After my sickness and classes, December 5th. I started going back to the gym, the same old familiar feelings. Soreness, Soreness, Soreness... Soreness. After taking the extended 2 month break prior to December and getting back, my muscles were taking a beating. I put the same intensity I did prior to quitting the gym and suffered the soreness again. It took me 1 month of what I call 'gym-prep', going to the gym and doing exercises that are designed to assimilate you back into the gym. After a month and 1 week I began to go into my strength training schedule. I found my maxes somewhere in the first week of January, and I rewrote my custom program and have been following it ever since. I find my new maxes somewhere next week. Lets hope I improved. I don't know what more to say other than that I'm happy with the gym right now.

So, I don't know if I missed anything. Social, Gaming, Internet, Gym, School. That's pretty much it. I can mention that during December I found a website called TurnTable.fm or tt.fm ; I spent some time on there and love the concept. You play music on dj booths with friends listening. You can socialize by chatting with others and sharing music. It's very fun and a great way to find new interesting music or expand your music interests. I don't know if I'll keep up with this blog, just felt like giving my future self a rundown on whats going on these past few months.

I can say another thing. I've been trying to get a job at SCC in Clearwater, but the manager that I'm speaking to is going through some sticky situations in his personal life and I'm trying to give him as much space possible after hearing from a family friend about what happened. I hope everything goes well with him, and that he contacts me as soon as he is ready. Thank You. :)

Website Updated

Due to the recent interest in finding an employer, I've decided to update my website to better reflect myself.

www.mariuszgalus.com

Please take a look and let me know what you think.

Things to do: put a section about myself, a section of my projects under portfolio, create drop down menu for personal content such as skype and blog.

If you have any cool ways to implement these, like sliding-door transitions for each of the sections (cool, because you only have one page with hidden divs), then also let me know. I'm a application developer and a novice web developer. I preffer CSS3 animations over javascript as they are more fluid.

Thank you and thank god it's winter break, Those last two weeks of school were incredibly stressful.

Motivation RIP Korey Sarvas

The only reason I signed in today is to declare that it's Finals Week for fall 2011 school semester. I want to let my future self know that this is the hardest I've worked thus far, sleepless nights, projects, and exams. It's still not over but I have my head up. I want to give a shout out to my motivator Korey Sarvas. I appreciate everything you've done for us.
