Whoo! Summer... I'm glad I get to rest. Wait, did I say rest? Not so much...
So, first things first! I got a pickup installed in my new guitar (which is still unnamed, by the way), and it sounds beautiful :D I have yet to try it in the actual system (I only plugged it into a keyboard amp), but it sounds great! I'm gonna modify the strap I have so that it fits the guitar better (the neck end is too wide for the strap button on the heel, and the body end's holes are too small, since now there's a pickup instead of a strap button... so I've got some work to do).
Other than that... I have a pretty busy summer ahead of me. I'm leading the brass for band and have to do all the artsy stuff, of course! It's a big responsibility, but hopefully I can handle it... I'm volunteering at the doctor's office (starting this Tuesday or Wednesday...), and band practices are Tuesdays and Thursdays. I also have college apps to do (UC personal statements, other essays, etc.) and I'm visiting the East Coast to look at Ivy Leagues 0.0''' Summer homework is an even larger load now that I'm taking Gov/Econ, Lit, and Physics... luckily Mr. I is pretty chill and doesn't give out homework for Multi :DD
And I know people are gonna start asking me about which colleges I'm gonna apply to, so here's my current list: UCLA, UC Berkeley, UCSD, UCI (my backup), Stanford, Harvard, Brown, Yale, Johns Hopkins, St. Edward's University of TX. I don't know if I should apply to some other colleges just in case the UC's don't like me :PP Honestly speaking (not bragging), I think I should be able to get into SD and Berkeley, but you never know... SD is a good choice for me since there's an accelerated Bio-Premed program there, and I have family there... but Berkeley is cool too. I don't know... anywhere is good haha. Wherever God takes me, I will go.
And what would my blog posts be without the customary relationship status update?? :DD I guess I'm still recuperating, and things still hurt, but I'm definitely feeling better than I was last month... the only thing I hate about being totally and utterly "single" (in terms of the Winner's Game, a "loser") is that I start getting a little crazy (not flirty crazy... just crazy). I don't think I'm gonna be a "winner" anytime soon... I need a break, and I don't think I could like anybody right now without just having it be a rebound. If I'll like someone, it'll be because I like them for who they are, not how they help me to avoid memories or substitute emotions; even if they don't know that I like them, I still feel like I'm using that person... so for now, I remain completely single :]
So yeah... I've been sleeping later and later nowadays... something's bothering me, I just don't know what it is... pooooooh. ><
That's about it... I'm just rambling now >.>

yes sir
ReplyDeleteit HAS been a while
and good grief, you were a winner for a time in your life!
i thought you weren't gonna date till college?
Considering your grades, you might get the thing for UCs. I forget what it's called, but if you're in the top 4% of your school, you're guaranteed into at least one UC. Riverside and Irvine guaranteed me admission before I applied.
ReplyDeleteYou may want to look at some smaller private colleges. That's one of my biggest regrets.
Essays aren't that bad, but actually getting to them is awful.
Btw, if you're thinking of going med but you have interest in any other field, I suggest majoring in that.
As far as relationships go, whoa, I didn't even know you were in one. But the aftereffects are never ever fun.
Oh and your Fournier song was amazing.
Anyway, Joe, if you ever need someone to talk to about all this junk, you can talk to me. :D
No, no... no relationships for me till college at least... and I wasn't "technically" in a relationship 0.o
ReplyDeleteAudrey, I think you're talking about Eligibility in Local Context? :D
