My T-giving Break  

wow, i forgot how much fun all my cousins and i have together... such good times. snowboarding was amazing, and now that i actually know how, it was that much better the 2nd time around.

i wanna feel tears forming out of the side of my eyes while i go down snowy mountains, again... maybe next month.

ill post a pic later.

No more band!!!
its a bitter sweet thing, although its more sweet than bitter.

so BOA was aaammmaazzinggg, it was so fun and what a way to end my last year of marching band... wow i wish i had a picture when all 14 bands came out onto the field at the awards ceremony, it was so awesome looking at the big T.V...and having fun with the other bands before going into the alamo dome... hahahaha good times.

i found a picture!!!

soo cool... (we're on the very right.. next to the people who got first, reagan... that was awkward.)

school is pretty easy now, i have to get started on UT Austin app and i think... Pomona in California...?

im out for blood after my placement in region orchestra... theres only a slight exaggeration on that statement. slight.

yay for daylights saving, losing an hour is always a good thing...

so i have yet to finish my college applications to Northwestern and Notre Dame, which i have to do by tonight or else i am screwed. (the NHS canned food drive is tomorrow... all night... tomorrow...) and i haven't even thought about the Northwestern statement. yikes. i also have a really hectic week ahead of me, as do all Coppell students, well most of us, because of the screwy semesters system.

but yay for my sister helping me with my personal statement (thank you vivivan =]), some more bright news, the SAK youth group will (most likely) be hosting the first ever Winter Ball, the date is still pending, but its a great fundraiser idea and im excited that just maybe it'll be an annual great YG event.... i hope im not jinxing myself by saying this.

yea... random thoughts in this post, but hey its an update =)

albert

btw......this is how photogenic i am...

hahaha... sigh...

i don't think that this is even worth a post but... the freshmen this year need to learn how to humble themselves and lose the attitude. You can easily tell the success of our band year to year by the strength of the incoming freshmen class, we made 11th at some lame ass BOA competition, that should tell you all something. shut up and listen to leadership/ upperclassmen.

i can't believe i even wasted my time with some insignificant few egotists, but i just had to have somewhere to vent. its ridiculous.

-----------edit---------------

my xanga is boring cause i dont have a digital camera...
but i will soon =] and hopefully an ipod nano... so for the mean time ill steal pictures from the web. muahaha

  <------- nano =]

i'm pretty sick with school work, band, and other crap. I know alot of people are saying this but, I'm ready to get out and go to college... its a cliche, but its true. I guess i'll be sad to leave behind the friends and memories, but to be honest... i dont have too many fond memories inside the coppell bubble, and i dont have a set group of friends or any 'best friends for life'. its all crap and either way i want to get out in the world.

wouldn't it be great to travel the world?

a some-what melancholy

wow, so i guess im back. couldn't stay away =]
haha

so i've decided i'm ready to go to college about now... problem is i have to get accepted into one first. So far i've decided to early decision to Northwestern (though i dont particularly know why...) and do early admission to Notre Dame.

fortunately, at college night the Notre Dame's admissions officer for Coppell High School is Timmy French's mom! She has been gracious enough to lend me some advice and contacts. ya know the general hook ups... =] hopefully that will fall in my favor. yea? (i must say im pretty thankful that i lucked out, lets hope i dont drop the ball)

college... college... (thought process of the majority of seniors)
