A Casual Conversation with the Reader
The sun’s setting and I’m looking over the city of San Antonio. It’s very beautiful. I’m reminded of my friends coming back from San Francisco and not understanding how I could have ever left. I never had a place to live that looked over a city like this. But something tells me, I will. Seeing the endless field of tree-tops that touch the borders of the city, raised above it all, yeah, I could live here. I could see myself overlooking a lot of things.
I have so much ambition and so much desire to succeed, but I scare myself sometimes. I worry that I won’t be able to make it, or I’m starting late, or that I just don’t have the talents needed. I’m eager for this summer though. If I don’t find an internship I’m gonna do a lot of research on my own. I intend not to waste this summer like I have every summer prior to this one. And by that I mean, I plan to do things that are going to benefit me and help me later then just work for money (i.e. teach tennis). Teaching tennis isn’t going to get me anywhere, I need to stop that now, even if I won’t make as much money. I’ll bartend for money this summer, I like doing that and it’ll help me if I plan to make that website of mixed drinks. I also bought a 1500 page book on web-databasing, so hopefully it’ll help a lot.
On another note, the tennis team won conference for the 13th year in a row. We won 7-0 in every match, winning all 27 individual matches played as well. A tournament first. It’s the last time of the year where the girls and the guys travel together. Coach remarked how this is probably the closest the two teams have ever been before. And we’re very close for separate sports teams. I talked to Christy a long time on the way back, and I drew a few people on the girls team on a piece of scrap paper in a notebook for fun. We sat in the aisles of the plane and joked around. We talked and exchanged gossip and shared stories. I’m very grateful to have the connection between both teams at Trinity. I don’t think I could have gotten that anywhere else.
Well, with that being said, I’m planning one final blow-out party for the end of this year this weekend. I hope it’ll be a success. I’m shooting for the moon on this one (as I tend to do sometimes more often then I should). We’ll see how it turns out, my fingers are crossed. I guess it’s time to go take a walk with Daisy now. Rashna just stopped by, Ticia wanted to come over here to do homework, and Daisy and I are going to go for a walk like old times and come back and watch Family Guy. I guess this year isn’t so bad. In fact, I think it’s gonna end on a high note. Huh, kinda makes me smile...
