1/31/15

I'm not really sure what to write about today, but I missed yesterday and I want to try and continue to write here.  Today was LONG.  Work was crazy, I had a birthday party with a bunch of kids, and then I was one of 4 people teaching lessons and both the ones I taught were 8 or 9 person lessons.  Whew.  At least I got off early and got a chance to climb a bit.  I sent the 5.10D I had been working on for lead, I also on sighted a 5.10b and climbed a chill 5.10a.  I'm pretty tired at this point and really just want to crash.  This week is gonna be crazy and I feel the need to rest up and get prepared.  I'm hoping I can find my motivation tomorrow to knock out my homework.

Peace,

Nate.

Things I'm thankful for 

Oatmeal

Tea

Nice mugs

Kitty cats

More leftover Chinese food

Being from michigan and knowing how to drive in the snow 

Memories 

1/29/15 I Don't Know

Today was an alright day.  I finally got to go grocery shopping with Ellen.  I managed to get a healthy amount of groceries and things I needed for under fifty bucks, so that was a pretty good feeling.  then I managed to get to work early enough to climb a little bit, and sent my project I had been working on (first 5.11A on lead, WOOO!!). Work was crazy though, crank night always is, I never leave Thursday nights not feeling exhausted. Ellen wanted to hang out after but honestly I just wanted to get home and go to bed.  Jake is laying in my lap getting pets while I write this in bed.  I thought a lot today about perseverance. It makes a big difference how much time and effort you're going to put into something, and how long it takes before you just say fuck it. I think my generation has a lot of perseverance.   We realize how fucked up the ways society works are, and know it needs to be changed, but we are also aware of how little we can actually do.  So we wait, we bide our time, we are preparing, learning about the world, I bet we will be the most knowledgeable generation of any before us.  We have access to everything in the world.  We find niche little things and create groups of people who all like these same things.  What I'm getting at is we are all perfecting our craft at one certain thing, and when the time comes for us to take the reins of the world, we are going to make big changes.  I am very proud of what my generation is and will do.  We know we get laughed at the our parents will judge our choices, but we wait, we bide our time, we persevere.

1/29/15 today was a good day

It's so strange how life is.  It's a new adventure, and I know that's tacky and played out but that's exactly how it is.  Each day I completely different from the one before it and the more effort you put into it, the more enjoyable it will be.

Today I'm greatful for:

Old and good friends

Ways to express myself

New and good friends

Leftovers

Cozy sweatshirts

Good night everybody

Oh, hi there!
So I have decided to start a blog in order to get myself to write more and to keep friends and family in the loop of my life.  I'll try and write a little bit each day and post a picture or two of my day.  I'll start out with a little about myself. My name is Nate Polich, I live in Michigan where I work at a local rock climbing gym, and study elementary education.  I have a cat named Jake, he's the other name on this blog.  I hope whoever reads this enjoys it and I hope my day to day isn't too boring.
Peace,
Nate

This is Jake and I.
