I suppose now is as good a time as ever.
It is Finals Week to a Spring that has been eventful. The year itself has been eventful. Where do I begin?
Notre Dame ended up being a wonderful experience. I loved it after I got over the fact that everyone was a racist prick. The people I surrounded myself with were fantastic. I couldn't believe it. I get back to school a short while after I get back to Texas and I had RA training. That was good.
Jazz has been one of the most fulfilling ventures of my young life. I've created something that will possibly have a lasting legacy at this school, with the help of my friends. I'm so proud of the jazz band and the music program here. I'm excited. We recorded an album December 2006. It's pretty good. If you want one I can get it for you.
Being an RA has been very rewarding. I love being there for people. I love the atmosphere. I enjoy being around people because it allows me to forget. I hate the paper work. School was tough in the fall because i was taking 17 hours/7 classes. This semester has been great. It's been easier than most.
Sarah, Tim and Jason are great. Well maybe not everything is so great, but I don't believe I'm at liberty to discuss it. Let's just say a friend likes someone I used to date and I don't know what to do because I feel as though my trust has been taken for granted. Now I have an overwhelming rage growing inside of me. Let's just leave it at that.
Sarah is good. I don't see her as much as I did before. That can be attributed to the previous situation. But not directly... I suppose. I've had a lot of work and I hang out a lot here in the hall. Plus, for a while I just didn't want to be around her because of the break up. I still am sometimes uncomfortable around her. I still have some of those old instincts. I don't know if they'll ever go away.
Neither one of us has dated anyone else. Although we have both had "things". Mine sucked. Whatever. It's not as bad as I thought it would be. I still love her. That's all I can say about that I suppose. She's great and I kinda blew it. I guess it takes me about a year to figure that one out. I'm kinda slow sometimes.
I've been really busy and I feel burnt out. It's been tough. I'm going to the University of Chicago this summer to do research. That'll be interesting. I haven't talked to them in a few weeks. I think it is time I called them.
I'm looking forward to applying to grad schools in the fall and taking the GRE, but the angst and fear of moving forward with my life has taken over. Let me put it in prespective.
I am 21 in a month...
I graduate from COLLEGE in a year...
I have a puppy...
I am technically in charge of 30 people's safety and well-being when they live here...
In a year and a half I will probably be in another city, in another state, at another school, in a PhD or graduate program...
Think about it.
Hopefully I'll keep up with this. I have missed a lot. It's possible that I'll mention things from the past year in the next few posts... That's if I keep up.
take care,
dago
