I just called misty and her sister answered the phone. Misty's asleep. I miss her so much. She's been working really hard for the last few weeks with homework and work and shit. I miss her. Anyways, this semester's almost over! Three more weeks and the fall semester of my senior year will be over. I don't know how to feel. How does a felon feel when his 15 year prison sentence is up? Yea it's amazing and I'm pretty excited about getting outta school but then what? What's gonna happen after that? I have no idea and it's scaring the shit outta me. Everyone's telling me that I should have an idea what I'm gonna do after high school or else my life will suck hairy nuts but I dont have any plans thus I'm a lazy failure.
My birthday was on saturday. It was ok. I didn't want anything big. Especially inviting people over for shit. It was just me and my family. I got a Bruster's chocolate and that ice cream with oreo's in it cake. It was amazing. I wanted the big 20" one but my mom said that it was too much for one person to eat because no one else eats that thing. I've proven her wrong because it's all gone. All gone. And I enjoyed every bit of it too. I got a black iPod nano from my parents. I feel a little guilty too cause they've spent so much money on me this past month with my eagle project and everything that I didn't wanna make them get me a present. But they said that I deserved it because I've worked so hard for the last month with my boy scout thing. That made me feel even worse. Anyways, I love my ipod. I absolutely love it.
Ok so for the past month or so I've been busting my butt with my eagle project and other stuff. Around October 17th I decided to pursue my eagle and that's when it all started. I spent the whole week writing up my plan/proposal and on Friday evening I met with these three guys to have it approved. I remember that night distinctly because it was one of a number of defining moments in my life. I had to have it approved that night or else I wouldn't be able to appear before them again until the middle of November which would be too late. Anyways I got it approved and then went to the Peachtree Ridge game. That was a pretty wet night. It sucked that we lost on senior night but w/e. Ok so my project's approved and I decided to do it the very next weekend. That presented another problem. I had seven days to get two grands to fund my project. Well everyone chipped in and I got like 1200 and my parents gave me a grand so I just had enough money for it. I'm not gonna go into detail about my project 'cause I'm lazy. Yea, it took us awhile to do it but man it felt amazing when we finished. I got my form signed last friday night around 7:30. All I have to do is appear before my eagle board and convince three guys that I am qualified to be an Eagle Scout. That shouldn't be too hard. I can't believe it's all over. I can still see that first night when I first joined troop 21. I was a goofy looking 12 year old who was so intimidated by these kids who were so much bigger than I was. I joined the lightning patrol with Himesh patel as the patrol leader. As I'm writing this I can still remember everything that happened so vividly. I can still remember us going outside to practice tying lashings. I can still remember how cold it was that night and how this kid taught me how to tie a clove hitch. I can still remember it all. That kid is long gone now. He left a year after I joined. I think I'm the last of a golden age in troop 21. I'm one of the few kids who can still remember when Mark Neil was SPL or was at Kacey Thompson's eagle project. I can still remember it all. I think I'm gonna stick around and help these kids. Our troop is dying and it's vital to have someone who actually knows a thing or two about the boy scouts instead of adult leaders who have never been in the scouts before a few years ago.
"it really doesnt matter, girl, how you do it just as long as you put your back into it"
I'm gonna be in an all-asian basketball tourney! This kid that I ball with wants me to play on his team. He said that he needs a tall asian kid who can play the post. Well, I'm a tall asian kid, I hope that's enough. We played this afternoon and I absolutely tore it up out there. I was owning the paint and I even drove it in a few times. It's amazing how much I've improved in a year. I sucked so bad last year that it's embarassing. I think i've gotten a bit better.
it's midnight! geez. I should go to bed.
