Hola Chicos, Que Tal?

Now that all but I are back in the country working a the details of daily life we have a 21st birthday to plan for and a 23rd not to forget. I will meet you all at the airport on the 17th but we need to figure you guys out. Avi what are we doing and what do we need to bring? Widge y Rali, how are you getting up? One suggestion fro Vala on the subject was for you two to drive to his place and then take his car up to Avi's. This would put gas costs on him and me between our place and Avi's and allow you guys to visit the other friend in San Francisco on the way up or back. Giving you $3.50 a gallon, assuming 1,000 miles one way, and asuming 30 miles to the gallon in Rali's car it would be about $233 total so that may be the best option money wise because you will have a hard time finding airfair for one to one of the destinations for that much. Oh well, I know we won't know anything for sure for a while just keep me updated and look at my blog.

Still

I'm still a biscuit - a Nice one in fact. Perhaps you don't remember. That's okay, I will remind you.

I make a difficult sandwich. Perhaps you don't remember that either. Fear not, I'll remind you.

There's a pidgeon that's obsolete and a certain country that's a super loser and a girl who will always tell you you're wrong. Don't you remember? Well, no matter. I've reminded you.

I think I'm just getting tired of the smell of Kuu. It's too bad really.

Perhaps we ought to erect totum poles to that pidgeon anyway.
Curse him.

Shifting Paradigms...

I've got one for you guys. What would you say if, after three years of shifting above and below average grades, your parents, in digust at yet another low point in your academic standing, decided to pull all funding for school for at least 2 years and made (not suggested but made) you have to consider such options as a) joining the navy. b) joining the airforce. c) joining the coast guard. d) joining the peace corps. or e) joining americorps?

How would you react to such an ultimatum? How would you go about re-evaluating your life in the face of such a paradigm shift?

Well if you haven't guessed by now this is not just a casual problem that I threw out there for $h175 and giggles. This is my life as of this moment in time. School is no longer an option. My parents are tired of this back and forth and are no longer willing to support me in, as they call it, "ramming my head repeatedly into a wall." They think i'm not motivated enough or don't know exactly what I want to warrent spending more time and money on college. In some ways I agree with them but I never EVER expected them to do something like this. If I join up I will be the first in my family for three generations that will have gone into military service. What that would do to my grandparents isn't something I want to think about. Personally I don't see myself going for the Peacecorps or Americorps though. Granted there are more options out there I think. These are only the ones my parents considered. The Oregon Air National Guard would keep me near by and allow me to keep another job. Thats the only other one i've really thought of though. I'm in the process of looking around though so any suggestions you guys can offer I would be happy to at least think about or investigate. I wanna see what you guys think about this.
