I had a hour to kill in Stanton, so I stopped in at my friends tattoo shop Spiritual Journey Tattoo
long story short I am now am apprentice tattoo artist.
Backstory: My jiu jitsu gym (Leon Jiu Jitsu) was located in the same parking lot as my college friends tattoo shop, I ran into them in the parking lot after 10 years. I was pleasantly surprised to see a friend doing well, since it is more common for people to kind of stagnate, doing the same things in the same places. I saw it as a form of positive personal growth to make a business venture that celebrates culture and art (Spiritual Journey Tattoo has been in National Geographic and is legitimate at traditional tattoos), instead of just a liquor store. I always enjoyed the tattoo shop, since it is very clean and has really cool decoration and a good vibe that reminds me of Hawaii (where I grew up). http://spiritualjourneytattoo.com/

I hope that I will be able to get ahead in studying today.
Today in class I was 12 minutes behind in finishing my massage, but since that is about 8 minutes better then usual, I feel pretty good about it. 50 minutes is a very short time for a full body massage, it doesn't really have as much of a therapeutic effect as a longer massage would. Spending 5 minutes on each limb only gives about half of the therapeutic effect on that area. With 10 minutes hemoglobin would increase more, adhesions could be taken out of connective tissue, blood flow would increase more in stagnated areas removing waste, greater amounts of cellular waste, cortisol, epinephrine and norepinephrine would be removed from the body. An 80 minute massage is really the minimum amount of time that would be required to give a decent full body massage, considering the physiological mechanisms behind the benefits of massage.
I have been going to school on time, studying more, learning more, putting more effort into the things I do, staying on a healthy diet (except for pizza yesterday night). I feel better now that I am keeping up with school and studying everyday. Some days are much easier, because I understand the material well. Other days last forever, because each topic I don't understand takes a long time to unravel.
I have not been going back to the gym, since I am setting aside as much time and energy to study as possible until I get ahead. That makes me a little sad, but I don't think I can justify perusing my hobbies until my studies are completely in order.

Today I was on time to school, I woke pretty easily (since I haven't had coffee lately). Tomorrow I want to wake up so early I have time for tea and oatmeal.
I feel really driven to study today.
