so, my little brother reid graduated from high school this weekend, and besides being a weird experience in itself, it was also quite the learning experience for me to compare an OC graduation to an LF one. basically, the differences between the two could fill a 'war and peace'-sized book

ooh, and the thing about ambition: I never said I know what I'm going to do and I'm going to do it one way or another. I've always sort of went with the flow of things, capitalizing on moments at every opportunity, but still letting the current take me where it will.

I never thought for a moment what college I would attend. I didn't even think about college until it came time to apply senior year of high school. I applied to NYU, UCI, and UCLA. I didn't actually want to go to either UCI or UCLA so I half-assed the application. I got into NYU of course, the story of my life--making the cut when I probably don't deserve it. I never thought I'd be a doctor or a lawyer. I never knew what I wanted to do with myself. I'm on track to be a teacher, but I don't even know if I want that.

Is that the description of a guy who is not ambitious? Perhaps, but the fact that I know I will be 'successful' and I am confident that I will be and can be. Momma didn't raise no fool.

About whether to go "home" or stay in NY. Travel throughout the county to the north. It isn't as bad as advertised.
