The Beach and Soccer

Ok so I've been really lazy about updating this thing ... right now I'm a bit bored and tired so I'm gonna update.

I got back from beach week yesterday. Overall I enjoyed myself (I particularly enjoyed the person in my apartment - who shall remain unamed - running smack into the sliding glass door to the balcony). I really didn't do a whole hell of a lot. Mostly sat on the beach or bummed around the apartment with paul. I accompanied Steph and the girls on the boardwalk several times (one of which paul even came). The whole group of us went miniture golfing one night and bowling another night. Sadly I gained no clubbing experience. Honestly, I need a male group of buds to go do that with; not that I really think I'd enjoy it all that much, but it's a good experience if nothing else. Nikki sure had some stories to tell ... which I won't delve into here, but I will say that they're interesting and quite amusing.

Today was fairly uneventful. I woke up at 7:10 (bleh) to go to work, got home around 1:15 and bummed around for a bit. At one point I went outside and started playing around with the soccer ball. I've forgotten how much I loved that game. I played it (on a team) from kindergarden through sophomore year .... that's 11 freaking years of playing soccer: well over half of my life. Georgia Tech should have some intramural soccer teams that I could join next year. If fencing doesn't work out for me I'll probably just join one of those ... hell I'll join one anyways. I think I'm also going to try and joing a brass quintet; and if they don't have one then I'll form one. Soccer and the trumpet are two things I don't think I'll want to give up fully. I've done fine not playing soccer for two years, but I would really enjoy it if I could get back in the game (and get back in shape).

hmmm ... never said anything about graduation did I? It went pretty well. Ms. Plitt added an extra chair onto the row I was in because there appeared to be a shortage of chairs in the row. As it turns out there ended up to be about two extra chairs when all was said and done ... so I stuck out a bit. My aunt, two cousins, me mum and dad, my sister, and my granddad all made it to graduation. Apparently my aunt sat next to Mr. Manbeck and had told him how she hopes that the kids at GT won't corrupt me next year lol. One thing that surprised me was Han's mom. I saw her up there taking pictures but it kinda surprised me when she started taking some of me ... after giving me a big grin. It surprised me but it also cheered me up a bit. I don't think she heard my "thank you" when she said "congradulations" though ... hmmm ... might've still been in a bit of a shock. But yeah ... another surprise was Chris Hall's mom ... gave me a kiss on the cheek when we all got outside. I've never had someone's mom do that. O it's no big deal but I was a little surprised. Anyways, Moller, Chris, some other guys, and I got some nice pictures after graduation ... very James Bond-like if I do say so myself.

After graduation I got together with the four gals (Steph, Nikki, Katie, Kester) and Chris Fritz. We all went over to steph's house for some graduation cards, refreshments, and we watched a movie that had our year documentaries. Nikki's mom did that at the pre-prom at Nikki's house.

So that has been my life up until this point. Right now I'm just working. I need to make plans for the 4th of July though. I might see if Chris wants to go into DC. That'd be pretty sweet. Anyways ... until next time. *salutes.*
