Late Night? You Bet.
Well since I'm not working tomorrow, I figure I have time to put my blood sweat and tears into this journal entry. I will even go as far as to put my thoughts into paragraph form. Fabulous!
I had a dream last night that truly has me wondering whether or not it was a genuinely aweful epiphone, or just a terrible figment of my imagination. I'm hoping for the latter, and I soon shall see. I dreamed that the day had finally come when I was to reach inside my box at the post office, and what am I to see? My packet of information which I had been longing for for what had seemed like centuries. I turn to the sheet of paper which conveys my worst fear. My roommate for the upcoming schoolyear will be none other than Phillip Follansbee. *End of Dream* *Wakes up in cold sweat* Dream or premonition? Terrifying either way.
I got a package of stuff from Colgate University today, including the generic-type catalogue-book thing. It actually looks like a pretty interesting school. One drawback, it's location in the great state of NEW YORK. I'm not sure if I'll be able to stand another 4 years of snow until April. I don't really think I'm smart enough for that school anyway, and come to think of it, a couple other schools I have on my list. The thing that's lacking most would probably be my SAT scores, which are okay but not superb. I'm hoping that my Eagle Scout Rank, and the 3 Johns Hopkins Talented Youth camp things I've done in Maryland and the Caribbean will help. Plus there's always the student council, (and hopefully student senate next year), varsity sports, and all that other crap that colleges could probably give less than two shits about. But they'll appear on my applications none-the-less.
I've worked two days this week, coming to a total so far of 14 hours. By the end of the week I will have gotten up to 32 hours. My total income this week, not including the deduction of like 30 dollars in taxes.... is...... 352$ Not bad, I'd say. And trust me, 11 dollars an hour may seem like a lot for sitting on my ass, getting tan, and looking at gorgeous cars all day, but it's actually incredibly boring. I actually would not have stayed with this job if it weren't for the pay. I'd rather scoop ice cream for 8 dollars an hour or something. There's plenty of work on this island.
Well I think it's time to wrap up this session of meaningless crap, and plus it's time to start thinking about considering the thought of going to bed. Yeah, that means another hour or so. Sometimes time flies when you're having fun. No wait. Time flies when you're in your room all alone listening to coldplay and typing a worthless journal entry. Not fun, but close. Night y'all.
