The Battle Plan of the Last Alliance
The final hope for man. Who was brave enough to bring forth the original idea? To march on the insurmountable armies of Mount Doom. I would guess surely the stout hearted Numenoreans.
Those who dare win - as the old proverb goes. Thus, the victors were the Last Alliance.
Can we take this into our own life? Can we apply the bravery that has been dawned upon the victors, admired by scholars and befuddled many a foe, into our own life? One would certainly hope so. I hope so, in the least.
Things have changed... rapidly in my life.
Let's see.. first off academically. I spoke with a counselor and I have come to a conclusion. I could keep my scholarship (assuming I get the necessary grades) in three classes and stay in the Honors Program. However I would have to miss my vacation.
I could take two classes third session and stay in the Honors Program but surely lose my scholarship.
I conversed with my Mom and my scholarship is bitin the dust. I'll just have to earn it back. I can't give up a ten day vacation in North Carolina. I just can't do it.
Also, I have now been offered an RA position, which I am going to take. However I move in early so I have to make sure taking two classes will not interfere with my duties. I'm sure Maria McBride will work with me... only two classes is not that large of a time burden and I'll have nothing else to do so... say four hours of my 24 hour day is devoted away to things other then RA.. I don't foresee this as a problem. We'll see though, somehow it'll work out. I have faith.
Sadly this meant I had to leave my vice Pres position in RHC. Not easily done, I was really looking forward to a good year. We had a really awesome group... I plan to be helping RHC a lot, or at least as much as I can. I feel so bad but RA is what I wanted from the start... plus I just can't pass up the free room and board...
I have gone into full Star Wars absorbtion mode. I've seen it three times thus far and have plans to see it at least two or three more times. I'm using movie quotes, watched episodes I and II and looked up pricing on lightsabers and Jedi Robes. Tis sad, indeed. The soundtrack doesn't help much, being so damn awesome.
Summer Job Hunt - at an end it would seem. MOther made an offer I can't refuse... manual labor and driving for money. Fair enough. Since I have such odd time requirements and so little time she said she'd just pay me to do some shit that needs done around the house. I guess that'll work folks.
Went running a few times... I'm not in the shape I used to be but I'm determined to get near there at least. I want to have a good showing for Beta Lambda chapter at CLC Conference this summer.
Tuesdays I see my brothers, handling Assistant Treasurer Duties and then to Sal and Conleys for game night. I also see them on Friday for softball... both things that I have come to cherish, since it really makes the being away so much better :) Miss them
Sadly JD will be leaving this Sunday (for those of you who don't know, that's my big brother, the future LEC). I will do something nice for him.. the question is what...
This weekend is the relay for life, I think Fathers Day and JD's move out (sigh).
I've decided to stop wasting time in my life on certain areas of my life. I'm going to just focus myself intently on doing each and every task as well as I can and seeing how it turns out. I want to be happy with what I do and I want to stop worrying about what could be or what may happen. Screw that yo.
The force will guide me anways :)
