• The Year in Retrospect and some •
Tuesday, January 2nd 2001 03:10PM
Reflecting on the entire year 2000, it's almost strange to realize that I have really gotten closer to where and who I want to be.
At the beginning of the year 2000, I was in my senior year of high school mostly looking incredibly forward to college. I was recieving more prestige and self-confidence as a peer tutor (although as the year wore on, I saw the itty-bitty corruption as my fellow peers used tutoring time to socialize whether than actually tutor). Nonetheless, it was much more easier to view the teachers as...well somewhat equals. They understood they really did! My gov't teacher was way too much into that. Although the high drama of senior year, senior ball and graduation, weren't that incredibly spectacular, they were pleasing nonetheless. Then the summer. An incredible summer as it was. Although I started it by first bypassing the 6 unit college writing class in the fall by taking an English class during the summer, it was fantastic. Being in class with mostly immigrant students, I felt the self-confidence surge. Also too, met some great people there (i.e. Tram!). This was also when I first attended my first AZN dance--interesting enough that I attended one more which I shouldn't have gone. Then there was THE trip in August. Who would have known that particular ambition would have led to a constant admiration and obsession? It's you, Alan. :) Then college. Better than high school, if I can say that. Intimidated by everybody (especially my three roommates) but settled quickly into comfort. Schoolwork was yucky, but that's okay. I haven't gotten my scores back from the semester yet though. Then the year basically ends. What year 2001 may bring, I don't know.
Using Juno now. :p It should disconnect very soon without warning. How annoying!!! I have nowhere to go today. Although I told myself that I would start my personal projects, I haven't yet. My mom told me, on her way out, to play the piano. I haven't touched that thing for more than five months since I quit. Boredom is impending.
