Scholarship Squandering

Today, I finally started the inevitable process, I started filling out some scholarship and college applications. I fear I may have started the process a tad too late, as it will be down to the wire to get all the necessary paperwork mailed in time. Hopefully, I didn't wait too long. I mean, thousands of dollars are on the line, quite literally.

Costco Conversation

Today I ate at Costco. While I was sitting there eating, I heard a man say something brilliant. He said, "stupidity has nothing to do with age, there are stupid young people, and there are stupid old people." I am not quite sure why he said this, but I thought it was funny, yet true. A lot of times, it seems people lump one age, gender, race, or any other group of people into one stereotype. Yet, these stereotypes are almost always wrong, and definitely not true about everyone in that group. Little good can come from lumping people into a group, especially if it has to do with stupidity. I just hope their conversation didn't arise from them seeing me.

A S.T.E.W. Sort of Day

Today was a sad, tiring, exhilarating, and rather weird day, in that order. My brother had to return to school today. It is always sad when he leaves. I wasn't going to let the sadness bring me down, I went running. I believe it to be the furthest I have ever run nonstop, over 6 miles. It was tiring, yet well worth it. The Seahawks won an exhilarating game, even more amazing seen in HD. As for the weird part, it was Saturday relived. Yesterday felt like Saturday not having school, so today felt like it should be Sunday, but it wasn't. Overall, today was an eventful day, maybe even a groundbreaking sort of day.

Bonus Saturday

Today was a rather bizarre day. The way I have scheduled my classes for this quarter, I don't have any classes on Friday. Today was the first of these Fridays without class. If felt weird to sleep in on a Friday, weird but very nice. All day has felt like a Saturday, tomorrow is like a bonus Saturday. I think I shall get used to this bonus Saturday idea very quickly.

Pizza Perfection

Today, I continued a new habit. No, I'm not talking about jogging, although I did do that. I cooked. Yesterday, I made some ham and cheesy scrambled eggs for my siblings and I. Today, I wanted to cook something else, something bigger and better. Although, yesterday's eggs were very good.

So today, I decided to cook dinner for the whole family, a pizza dinner. My father pitched in, and we whipped out some really good pizzas. There was one pizza that was all my own work of art. I made the dough, rolled it out, and layered the sauce, cheese, pepperonis, and more cheese to absolute perfection. The pizza tasted so good. Maybe it was because I had poured my blood, sweat, and tears in to creating it.

Old School New Habit

Today, my break was finally over, and I had to return to school. It actually wasn't that bad, and was a little bit nice to get back to "normal". I even woke up early enough to go jogging, maybe it is a new habit in the new year. I hope so.

Found Lost

Over the Christmas break, my family got addicted to the phenomenon that is Lost. In just under two weeks, we were able to finish the first two seasons. We stayed up late almost every night watching Lost, our record was 6 episodes in one day. Last night/early this morning, we finished season two.

But now, comes the real problem. Season four starts in a couple weeks on TV. So, we have to watch one more season to be caught up. School is also starting, so I don't think we can stay up so late watching season three. But the main problem, is how we will get the episodes. At Hollywood video store, for $10 a month, we can rent an unlimited amount of movies that aren't "hot", basically ones that aren't new releases. The dilemma, season three of lost is "hot". So, we can either wait two weeks for it to no longer be hot, and have to cram before season 4 starts on TV, or pay money to rent them. Another issue would arise. The complete season 3 DVD boxed set can be purchased for a little over $30 dollars, the price it would cost to rent each of the 6 disks individually. While I am not sure which of these options is the best, I am definitely hooked to this amazing show.
