I'm getting the (US)F outta here soon!
My hair is shorter now. I look more "boyish" now - one of the women at Fantastic Sams said I looked like "that Ashton Kutcher guy" and then went on to talk about how great The Butterfly Effect and Taking Lives were. I guess I shouldn't take her word for it. Anyway, if any of you would like to see it, then please come FRIDAY, APRIL 30th!

My second semester at the University of South Florida is getting closer and closer to it's end. Soon, I'll be back in New Port Richey for the summer, living it up with friends, food and festivities. Or, as always, I could die tomorrow and all of this would be void. Since I don't plan on dying soon, however, my expectations are that these next two weeks will be both exciting and excruciating. It just so happens that the last official day of classes, not counting finals, is April 23th, one day before I turn 19. The big deal? 23 - 19 = 4, being the number of chambers in my heart, which began beating 19 years ago! OMFG!
I wouldn't say college has been a complete waste, or even half a waste, though when a guy as lazy as I am is getting straight A's, there is something wrong. This semester, my efforts in being more studious and adroit have increased, and, thus, my grades have slightly slipped. Maybe a 'C' where there should be a 'B', A 'B' where an A belongs...nothing too bad.
I've learned in Racism that my people are the devil. There's not much good morally if you're white. Lucky for me I have a Vietnamese girlfriend, a Chinese cousin, an Indian cousin and one of my best friends is black. Give me a few more years and I'll be "AZN", officially, so I won't have the burden of guilt that whitness has awarded me.
I've learned in circus that I do have a smidget of talent, and that practice makes not so much perfect as it does the ability to do things slightly better than you were able to do them before. I've learned that telling people I can ride a unicyle can't get me past 15 feet, no matter how hard I've tried.
I've learned in English Comp. 2 that "I don't belong in this class" and to "keep writing no matter what I do." Thank you Mrs. Booker.
I've learned in Health Class that YOU CAN SPREAD MONO BY JUST COUGHING! (However, half the population gets mono by the age of 5 and, thus, are forever immunue to it. The rest suffer.)
I've learned in Philisophy in Film and Literature that I am just waste in the universe, but it's okay because "CARPE DIEM!" and because Lester Burnham says so. It's never too late to get it back.
Not bad for a shaggy looking freshman.
Alex
