(no subject)
It's been about a month since I posted. I now have a good chunk of time to post and have been bugged enough to finally do it. So let's go...
So the first big piece of news that comes to my mind is that my car has been totalled (not the new one for those of you who know). The Volvo - the time capsule that is big enough to fit people into - is destroyed. Drew totalled it on New Year's morning after accidentally running through a red light. It was about 6:00 a.m. and I was asleep. Nobody was seriously hurt.
So when I wake up in the morning my mom lets me know what happened. My parents and Drew have agreed that Drew is going to pay for the deductible and whatever the insurance rates rise by because of the accident. Now I have a new car (2005 accord), which I am happy about. The period of time when nobody in the group had a car was really awkward though, and I do miss the old grey piece of shit.
Now I've got 4 working doors, a cd player, good gas mileage, and a nice paint job. It's cool.
Recently, I've got finals next week. Senior year is insanely easy. I keep slacking off till the last minute and am still doing fine in all of my classes. I think I'll get one B in gov and the rest will be A's. I've got senioritis pretty bad and I think it will get worse next semester. The great thing is that it doesn't matter. As long as I don't do an awful job with my grades (too many C's or get under a 3.0) none of the colleges I get into will turn me down.
I have heard form San Jose State (my backup) and I have been "provisionally accepted" which pretty much means I'm in if I keep my grades up and didn't lie with my self-reporting.
Berkeley has definitely moved up to my top choice with Cal Poly as a second (I'm not worried about getting in there). UCSD has dropped significantl since I keep hearing how little there is to actually do there. I'd either have to join a frat (which I don't plan on doing) or travel every weekend (back to L.A.) or go to San Diego State. Uggghh. UCLA is not too appealing either. I really want to get away from home.
I've definitely gotten back into the BBYO grove. I've done a lot of work in the past week or so (really starting from last Sunday's board meeting which got me back on track). I've got an Open Regional Meeting to run tomorrow and I think I'm all ready. Kallah is next weekend and I am very excited about how its coming together. I think I'm going to be able to enjoy myself more that weekend than I did at LTI.
I am getting annoyed with my chapter at the moment. A lot of people aren't doing shit and I'm not on board this term. Our new Godol is having trouble getting the board on tasks and he doesn't follow up well.
I can't wait for convention. That will be another entry soon...
As for summer. I keep thinking about it and I realize it is going to be the best summer of my life. If I don't get a job (which I don't think I will) I will have absolutely no obligations. No AZA, no camp, and no AP summer assignments. Wow. It will be odd and relieving to have so many things that are in my life not there anymore.
This entry is getting pretty long so I will finish up with some chat about friends. I need to get in touch with some people who I haven't in a while. The people who I have been hanging out with recently have made life very enjoyable. It's great. I'm loving every day.
Consider this an announcement and official contract in writing to contact people that I haven't talked to in a while. I'm not going to name names because I don't want to forget anybody. Anyways, I'm sure this is way too long already.
Until next month....
O yea, don't let me forget to read the first chapter of Drew's story.
