It has been a little bit since I’ve posted here so I figured now would be a good time to give an update. The past two weeks have been pretty well and pretty busy. I can’t wait for this year to finally be over and then the fun will begin. With AP tests starting this week, the stress begins but I don’t think this time it will be that bad. The two AP tests (calc and physics) are going to be pretty tough so I don’t really have any great expectations to come from them. Speaking of school, I spent this past week signing stuff for state loans and all that stuff for my financial aid for college. Reading all the fine print is annoying because there is so much crap in it and mom just wants to make sure everything is all good before I sign my life after college away (only for a short while ha).

Work at Circuit City starts tomorrow so I’ll be there at noon training and getting accustomed to their system and way of doing things. With another job I’m not sure how my time will be after this but I’ll make sure the time i do have is either with my lovely girlfriend or my friends. It is only a matter of time before they leave for college over the summer and then it’ll be awhile before I see any of them. A good portion of them are staying close to home which is good but the others that aren’t I sure will miss being able to stop by anytime. We’ll handle that when the time comes I guess

The Receiving End of Sirens had their farewell show in Rhode Island last night and I’m disappointed that I was unable to go. Heard from a few friends that went that it was pretty epic and I really wish I could’ve seen them for the first, and what would’ve been the last time ever. They have been an inspiration to me with my guitar and learning their songs to teach myself has been something that will stick forever. Even though it was their last show, their music will live on and I hope in the future we can see them coming back together.

I’m in a war right now with my parents about getting a car soon so I won’t have to rely on their schedules for work. It is quite annoying especially when they are thinking about having me on my own insurance plan which could mean $1,200 for 6 months. I pretty much wouldn’t be able to afford that, a car, and have money left over to do anything else with the way gas is, so that is quite the bullshit idea. I’m trying to work them over having the car on their plan but we’ll see how working them over this week goes… Dad is almost ok with it, but it is mom who needs to be worked on.

Really I can only think of two things that have been good in the past week and a half: my friends and my girlfriend. I think the only reason why I somewhat enjoy the bullshit we do these days (aka last few months of senior year) is cause of my friends. Brandon came home from boot camp for 10 days and seeing him in school was pretty good. Was glad to see how the marines changed him a little bit, but then again he was still the old Brandon as well. Hopefully I’ll get to see him after he comes back from his combat or whatever training he has to do next. I think the only thing that has been keeping me sane the past week with all the bullshit that has been going on is my girlfriend. I can’t begin to say how happy I’ve been for what is almost a month now that we’ve been dating. Thinking back I can just remember of how shitty a mood I was in most of the time before we started dating. I’m glad all that has changed now and I couldn’t be happier right now if I didn’t have her =).

Maybe in the next post I’ll talk about volleyball since it has finally started again, well at least open gyms once a week. I can’t even find the words to explain volleyball right now cause it can be many extremes haha.

As TREOS likes to say, “Take care of each other” until next time,
