ahhh... what a day.
so we got our senior portfolios back... I got 100% boo-ya! If ICS has taught me anything, it sure is how to B.S. my way thru anything.
haha so funny news.. some of you know this, but my boobs are kinda... spilling... out of my prom dress (ok its not THAT bad... spillings a little exaggerated...). BUT Im working on it and if all goes to plan, they'll be smaller by prom.... if all goes to plan. I'm trying to watch what I eat and get exercise every day. I'm pathetically out of shape, but the burn, oh it feels good. and just getting out and exercising makes me feel better and not so craptastic. so i find im generally in a better mood.
So I lamented again today over the fact that Todd didn't have anyone taking care of him in his senior year. If he had been living with his parents and not having to pay rent, he could have continued to play football instead of having to work two jobs and struggle thru school and would for sure have gotten on a university team, and probably have gotten a full-ride or close to it scholarship. As it is, he had to quit football, and that whole thing fell apart. so it goes. So todd's mom some how won these ticket things for todd to a dinner with a bunch of high class businessy people and the all the UW coaches. So todd talked to the head coach and a couple others and they said he should apply for winter quarter and try out for the team (and if he starts conditioning a little more vigorously, I would be waaay surprised if he didnt make it).... but, as luck would have it, UW requires all applicants to have 2 years (or 2 college quarters) of a foreign language- and again, because in high school no one was telling todd "hey, you need to take 2 years of a foreign language" he didnt and somehow managed to slip by without it (the H.S. counselors were way lame @ his school...) so.... we're thinking he might be able to take spanish summer and fall quarter and maybe apply for spring quarter and find a way to get on the team. who knows. its all kind of crazy. but its something he really wants to do, so, i dunno, im gunna to everything I can to help him...
I was thinking today, and currently, as everything is... I think that choosing whitman would be a choice lead by my head. and I'm not sure thats good idea. I dunno... i gotta do visits...
gah. tired of typing. more another time. (or less, this was kinda long, i realize...)
