Wow it has been a while since my last post. I didn't realize it was that long. Well here are some thoughts. I actually watched the superbowl in its entirety, well almost, for the first time. Why does the superbowl get so much hype. It's not like you really get to watch most of the game. It's more like your watching comercials and a litle bit of the game. All I remember is that they would constantly go to commercials. That was pretty annoying. I know that in baseball it isn't that way. You actually get to see the game. I also didn't watch the ending because it was pretty obvious who was going to win so I went to take a shower. I also didn't watch the halftime because Charlie didn't want to. Apparently I didn't miss much because nothing major happened like it did with Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake. You know the funny thing is that I would usually only watch the halftime and not the game.
Well also my brothers have been receiving acceptance letters from the Univ of Washington, Washington State, Penn State, Boise State, and Montana State. We are still waiting on 2 more schools. Now they just have to decide which school to go to. One of them is going to visit Penn state this weekend. I hope he enjoys it even though it will be very far from home if he decides to go there. Sorry fadedgirl but no application to Carleton. I think they applied to enough schools. Part of me whiches to go with him in order to get to see the campus and make sure he has somebody to keep him company. They are worried about leaving home. I remember how things were when you first leave home.
When I left to UCI I was sad and started missing my family and friends. Of course it didn't help that my mom got emotional when she left. After that I was feeling pretty home sick. Although I would go to LA on the weekends I still felt a little lonely. It took me time to adjust but in the end I managed. Well what else was I going to do. I wasn't going to fail. Failure was not an option. I had to succeed. I had made it further than anybody else in my family had and I still had to keep going. It was even worst when they all left to Idaho because LA stopped being my second home. I had to get another home.
My brother that is currently attending Boise state wants to stay there at Boise. He already wants to get an apartment there and is not planning of returning to Hailey. I am glad he is making a smooth transition.
I am still kinda tired because I have been feeling out there applications and that is done. Now I had to fill out there Fafsa and that is done. Fadedgirl tells me that I should let them do it so that they learn. Because what are they going to do when they have to fend for themselves. I tell her that they will either call me or my sister. What else are they going to do. Although I am tired of doing their applications they are still my little brothers and I am here to help them. I didn't have anyone help me and I wouldn't want them to go through the same thing. And well they haven't. Eventhough one of them will have to fly all the way to the East coast on his own. Not cool because you feel so small when you are in a place that you don't know and there is noone there that you do know. But I guess they do have to grow up some time.
Which reminds me that two of my nieces recently had their b-day. One of them turned 11 and guess what she got as a present? Well let me tell you, she got a cellphone. Yes ladies and gentlemen an 11 yr old with a cellphone. I remember I didn't get mine till I was 22 and even then there was some opposition on my part to getting. I didn't think I needed one. Who would want to be calling me anyways. But I got one. And now I can't be without it. Funny how things change. The other one just turned 3 and she got your usual presents. Barney, Wiggles,and clothes. Atleast that is still the same.
