The next two weeks are going to be a tough grind to close out the first half of the spring semester. Two more weeks before spring break. I'm going to have a few midterms and papers due in these weeks, just as classes are starting to get a little challenging. So far I've already learned most of everything in high school and last semester for classes such as physics and math and chemistry, but now we are starting to learn new things, and I'm having to study more on my own to learn the new materials. But even with the increase in difficulty, grades have stayed decently decent haha which is good. Just have to stay focused.
Last week was relatively smooth. Valentine's Day was relatively uneventful. I got to talk to Grandma and Mom which was nice. Then a few of my friends and I went out to the city for a while in the evening. It was a nice time.
The weekend was nice and it was good to relax and catch up on some rest. Then Monday the soccer team went to support Earl who lost his mother to cancer last week, so we all went to the funeral which was nearby in Maryland. It was very sad, but it seemed as if Earl was taking it fairly well. I just know it's got to be tough for him.
Now today I started my new cycle of workouts from Meredith. They are more cardio intensive in comparison to the more bulk-focus on the last cycle. I don't typically enjoy the cardio part, but I've gotta do it to get in shape for the season. I still find myself really enjoying my lifting which is a good supplement to our captains practices.
So these next two weeks will be very physically and mentally intense, but it will just make break that much better.

A Quick Post
I just realized I haven't really been keeping up with my blog. No posts since January! Undece. It seems as if the time just keeps flying by. I think this is my fifth week back at school but feels like the second. I thought about making a weekend trip home before spring break but I missed the weekend I was planning on, and now it's only about two weeks away from break, so it's probably not even worth it.
Classes have been going decently. 18 credits hasn't been that bad so far, and I hope it stays that way. This past week and this week are fairly loaded with tests and quizzes and such for the classes, so I have to buckle down and get to studying.
We've been having captains practices three times a week which is good for keeping the touch and staying in game shape. I've basically used those to replace my personal running routine that I fit in with my lifting schedule. I feel like I've been getting stronger through my workouts which is very encouraging.
Me and my suitemates have started watching the show Breaking Bad which has been very entertaining. It seems like each episode ends on a cliffhanger and we just have to keep watching. It's a very kind of controversial topic, but pretty interesting. I won't go into much detail here but look it up if you're curious.
Not much else to report. Nothing all that exciting going on. Just the good ol' grind. Hope all is well with everyone else.

A Week in Review
Last week was solid. I'm not going to go into too much detail about anything just for the lack of time. We got about two inches of snow last week and it was all pretty and everything, but it wasn't really enough to do anything with.
Friday was the March for Life in DC. So many people came to campus to visit and attend mass at the Basilica. Even some high schoolers slept in our gymnasium to attend the march. I attended the North Carolina March for Life Mass in the Basilica on Friday afternoon where Bishop Burbidge said Mass. I made a move into the other isle to get communion from him and he gave it to me, recognized me, smiled, and gave me a quick blessing. It was very cool to see him again. It was also very amazing how many people from North Carolina traveled up to DC to attend the Mass and March. I haven't seen the Basilica so packed. I could barely find a seat for just myself. Afterward I also got to greet the CGHS students and Mr. D who came up for the March. It was good to see them out supporting an important issue.
The weekend was enjoyable. I hung out a lot with my suitemates and our friends. I think I have decided that I will be rooming with them next year as well. We all get along really well and they're nice guys. Then Sunday evening we got a little bit of ice and our first two classes, my least favorite (Theology and Philosophy) were cancelled so that was a nice start to the week.
We had a soccer meeting on Monday evening followed by our first intramural soccer match. We talked about our Barcelona trip in our meeting and briefly about the Spring season. It was a good meeting to get our minds set focused on our new goals while keeping the disappointing season in the past but in our minds as well. Everyone seems dedicated and it should be interesting to see how we do. We then tied our intramural game which was very disappointing, because of course we take it very seriously. I had a sweet goal, but gotta score more for the team. Then Tuesday we had our first unofficial captains practice with the team. Almost everyone made it out and we played full field scrimmage. It was actually a lot of fun, yet we kept it serious as well. We should be having about two to three of those practices a week. Those will be good to keep me in shape, besides just running on my own.
I've been keeping up with my lifting, going every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday with my schedule from Meredith. I feel good about the weights I've been putting up, and I think I've been getting somewhat stronger which is good. I still have some lower back pains and knee pains every now and then, but I think it is because of tight hamstrings so I'm trying to focus on better posture and stretching more often.
Today was a good day as well. The weather was great. It got to almost 70 degrees outside and I wore shorts all day. Fantastic. I feel like I did well on my first physics test as well, which hopefully is a good way to start out my grades in that class. Now I think we are going to head out to see Zero Dark Thirty tonight in Chinatown. I really want to see the movie so that should be fun.
So that's about it for now. Looking forward to the weekend and Super Bowl already. In general everything is going great, and I just keep thinking about how much I love going to school here. I think its a great fit, and I've really been enjoying this semester so far. Hopefully it stays just as solid.
Hope everything is good with y'all,

Fantastic Weekend
Warning: Long Blog Post Ahead
Needless to say, I have been staying very busy at school so far even without soccer. I completed my first week of my weekly workout schedule from Meredith and was very sore after each of those days. Very pleased.
This Saturday we woke up early to go on a service trip. It was the MLK National Day of Service so the soccer team got together and went on a trip together. We went to an elementary school in DC and some of us worked on building book shelves, pairing murals, and making sandwiches for a food shelter. I got stuck with making sandwiches and I don't ever want to see another cream cheese and jelly sandwich. I can't tell you how many we made and to say the least, they did not look appetizing after the first hundred. The exciting part of it was after finishing our project, we got to meet President Barack Obama and Michelle. Turns out they were there doing community service as well and they talked to us for a while after. It's funny because everyone was wondering why there were so many cops and high tech security with metal detectors etc. and turns out it was cause of the President. Some of the guys got the shake his hand, but I didn't get close enough but it was still really cool. Here's a pic from my point of view:
After getting back on campus, I had to go pick up my recruit from coach. He is from nearby Virginia and this was his first collegiate visit. He had just turned 17, but coach said he was legit and really, really wants him. The kid (Johnny) was also looking at CNU and Scranton. Those are some top notch schools and we really wanted him. So we watched the CUA women's and men's basketball games for a while, and hung out with the guys. We played 5v5 with all of the soccer guys and recruits after the games and that was actually a lot of fun. For once, I didn't get hurt playing basketball, and it was actually a lot of fun. Then we all went out to Mike Brennan's apartment for a small party. All the girls were like, "Oooh Zimm, who's the hot recruit?!" Haha he was getting the ladies on his first visit. Then we came back to the room and crashed. We ended up having five people sleep in one dorm room. Me, my roommate, his two friends that were visiting, and the recruit. It was packed. I wasn't the best night of sleep for anyone. In the morning I took the recruit back to coach and he left in the morning. He said he had a blast so I hope he'll come here. He was a cool guy.
Sunday was somewhat of a relaxing day including church and a little bit of sleep. Later that evening my suite mates and I watched the football playoff game with about six other people. We moved the couch from the common room into the suite and had a viewing party. We watched Ted after the game, and it was even funnier the second time. It's so ridiculous but we laughed a good bit. Who would ever think about making a movie with a teddy bear as the star character... Definitely not me.
So once it got pretty late, me and my buds decided that we were just going to pull an all-nighter so that we could make it to the Presidential Inauguration early Monday morning. We made it til about 2:30 am and then we crashed. I only slept for an hour and then we got up at 3:30 am and headed off on the metro into the city. We got to the public entrance gate to the National Mall at 4:45 am. It was freezing, we were extremely tired, and we were surrounded by tons of other people. Haha it was definitely an experience. We packed about 8 PB and J sandwiches for all of our group of 11 people and they were gone after like two hours. We ended up waiting about 4 hours for the gates to open in the freezing cold. Haha we made the best of the experience and it wasn't even all that bad. So once we entered all of the security (4 metal detectors for thousands of people...) we found a spot on the National Mall to watch the Inauguration. It was around 9:30 so we then waiting there for another two hours. The whole time on our feet cause there is nowhere to sit. Haha we played some card games and tried to stay warm. Then around 11 am the announcements of everyone entering their seats started and eventually the entire program began. I can't even describe fully what it was like to be there, but it was honestly amazing. One of the coolest experiences I've had. Being surrounded by literally a million Americans all there to await the future of our country. SO neat. After the whole thing it was such a long walk to get out of the parade route and mall area with so many other people. We finally found a place to eat and by that time, 2:30 pm, we definitely needed food for having basically nothing all day. Some of us were falling asleep eating. Eventually we got on the metro and made it back to campus. I instantly crashed in my bed and slept. When I woke up I didn't even know where I was or if it was morning or night, but it was around 7 pm. I ate dinner and did some homework and then went to bed at 11. A very exhausting day, but so worth it. This is just one of those once in a lifetime experiences that I get to do, just because I go to school in DC. Yeah, I'm sure there are a lot of cool things that you can do in all schools around the country, but only at CUA have I been able to meet the President, and then go to his Innauguration all in one weekend. This school is awesome. I wish I could describe it better, but I'm just not the best writer haha and there is so much more that I can't even put into words.
Today has been somewhat of a drag. Woke up to 20 degree weather and Weather Channel said it felt like 7 degrees. I can't stand the cold. So I've been cold and tired all day, and I still have one more class til 5:30 and then I have to workout. Gotta get through it. So in a nutshell, that's about what my weekend has consisted of. It's one I will remember for a long time, and glad I had the chance to experience stuff like this. A cold week ahead, but I'm gonna make the best of it! Here's a couple videos/pics that I've taken along the way. Enjoy!
Hope everyone else had a nice MLK Day/Weekend,

First Monday Down
Today I had to get back on the grind of classes. I have both a new philosophy and theology teachers which I wasn't expecting. It is somewhat disappointing just because I already established a relationship with the previous teachers and now I have to do that once again. In other words suck up as much as I can. I still just despise my LC's and those may be once again close to my toughest classes. Chemistry was not bad today, and the teacher seems really nice and somewhat easy, but I hope I'm not eating my words later on in the semester.
After getting done with classes at 1, I was somewhat bored to be honest. I wasn't tired enough for a nap, and didn't really have any homework. I was thinking that I wasn't going to work out on my first day back, just because I'm trying to adjust and get my schedule down and whatnot. But, eventually I just decided to hit the gym. I completed Day 1 of my training schedule that Meredith so nicely put together and I just felt all around good hitting the weights. It really surprises me how much exercise can actually make you feel all around better. Instead to sitting around bored, I was being productive and improving myself. I finished my lift and realized that even though I wasn't really feeling like working out before it, I was so happy I did and I just had a complete mood change. Nothing like pumping some iron.
Then after lifting, a bunch of people decided to go out and play pickup, so after eating a little bit, I hit the field for the first time in like five or six weeks. It felt good to get out there and kick around with the guys. Supposedly we are going to try and get more pickup sessions together, but who knows if that will actually work out. A bunch of 18 to 21 year old college guys aren't the best coordinators of schedules. But it was definitely very nice lacing up the boots and getting on the turf again.
So after a full day of classes, I felt very good about my productivity and exercising. Even in times of doubt or uncertainty, it is ALWAYS good to work out. You will always feel much better. So overall, it was a good first day back and a day full of new classes awaits me for tomorrow.
Deuces,

Back and Ready to Roll
Well it feels kind of weird blogging once again. Haven't done this in quite a while, but need to keep everyone updated on all of the fascinating and entertaining stories of my life. Ha
Today was my first day back on campus after a very nice Christmas break. I had an entire month off and to be honest, it's going to take some re-adjusting back to the college lifestyle. My break was excellent. I don't really have time to go into that much detail about everything, but the trip to Pennsylvania was nice and then getting to see everyone and just spend time at home was nice. Being a groomsman in the we3dding was pretty fun getting to ride around in the limo and wearing the tux and whatnot. And then performing Indian dances with the wedding party in front of everyone else. I've got some good moves, not gonna lie. But that was a short but eventful and fun trip.
On Christmas, unfortunately, Michael, Nelson, and I all woke up sick. We all got some sort of the flu I think, and I probably had it the worse, of course. But it took me out of the game for about a week, but at least I didn't have to do anything all that important. Just lounged around the house with the Zoester the Toaster. Eventually I recovered, but it was pretty brutal.
New Year's was very nice. I think that was probably my favorite meal (or I should say FEAST, by the amount of food mom prepares for holidays) of the season. Nothing like starting off New Years with some good 'ol Polish pork and sauerkraut.
Then I spent the other two or so weeks preparing to come back to school. Got a lot of shopping done, even though I basically despise shopping for myself, and got in the gym for a few workouts. I also sent in my application to the NIEHS for a summer internship in RTP, so I'm crossing my fingers on that one. I would love to get a position there for the summer.
Anyway today I ventured back to the big city on Megabus. There's always some great people to sit next to on the bus. ... Always making friends! But for only $37 and 5 hours and fifteen minutes of travel time, I'll say it's a good deal. I would like to have my car on campus, but it would definitely be a pain to drive it up here. So for now, Megabus it is!
Well, tomorrow starts a new semester of classes. I look forward to learning new things. I hope for a good Spring 2013 semester, just like the last one.
Hopefully more consistent posts to come!

Semester is Closing Out
This is the last week of classes for my first college semester. It's hard to believe that it has flown by so fast. Already 1/8 of the way through my time at college. That's a lot! Last week was a good week with my birthday on Tuesday. 19 isn't much of an exciting year haha but it will be good nonetheless. I got to celebrate it on Saturday when two of my good friends, Joey and Zach treated me to dinner at Clyde's in Chinatown, DC. We all got huge burgers, wings, and a huge dessert. It was really nice of them and a lot of fun.
The rest of the week was relatively lowkey. Just keep getting work done and pushing hard through these last few days. It was a little difficult adjusting back to school life after the nice Thanksgiving break but I got back in the vibe and rollin now.
This week my I finish up my Chemistry with my last lab on Tuesday (no final), my last Engineering design lab on Thursday (no final), and my last English class on Friday (no final). I also have a big paper due Friday, big Calc test Friday, and need to start preparing for my finals in Philosophy and Calculus.
I am definitely ready for the Christmas break as well. Even with all of the stress and artificial implications, Christmas is a great time and we should be mindful of our blessings and happiness with all the other distractions. Now that Advent has started this past Sunday, we have four weeks to reflect and prepare our selves for Christmas. How can you better your life in these four weeks? It will be a good Advent.
It sounds like the Greystone production of the Living Christmas Tree was another good one this year. I unfortunately couldn't go, but I know Nana and Pops and everyone else there put so much time and effort into it and Mom, Dad, and Nelson said it was a very good production this year. Wish I could've seen it. Mom and Dad are also away in Texas for the conference and they got to visit with Cindy and Norm and Kris and his family. It seems like they are having a nice time. Nelson is staying with Nana and Pops while Zoey is staying with a family friend. I'm sure Nelson is missing her.
That's about all the updates I have for today. Busy week ahead but have to stay focused on the goal,

The rest of the week was relatively lowkey. Just keep getting work done and pushing hard through these last few days. It was a little difficult adjusting back to school life after the nice Thanksgiving break but I got back in the vibe and rollin now.
This week my I finish up my Chemistry with my last lab on Tuesday (no final), my last Engineering design lab on Thursday (no final), and my last English class on Friday (no final). I also have a big paper due Friday, big Calc test Friday, and need to start preparing for my finals in Philosophy and Calculus.
I am definitely ready for the Christmas break as well. Even with all of the stress and artificial implications, Christmas is a great time and we should be mindful of our blessings and happiness with all the other distractions. Now that Advent has started this past Sunday, we have four weeks to reflect and prepare our selves for Christmas. How can you better your life in these four weeks? It will be a good Advent.
It sounds like the Greystone production of the Living Christmas Tree was another good one this year. I unfortunately couldn't go, but I know Nana and Pops and everyone else there put so much time and effort into it and Mom, Dad, and Nelson said it was a very good production this year.
