I'm Having Daymares

So, the final grades came in from freshman year. I finished with the 3.2 I need to meet the CAP requirements to get into UT. But, every day a scenario plays out in my head, and it goes something like this:

- I am rejected from UT, and it's because somehow I didn't meet the requirements. Perhaps it's because one of my classes secretly wasn't part of the list of classes for CAP; or perhaps it's because one of my classes' GPA was rounded down or something unfortunate.

But, the way I feel is that if I made a 3.2, they should not reject me. That would be entirely ridiculous. If I don't get in, I think I will spend a day crying, or sleeping my sadness off in my bed. To do all the work, to work so hard, and be rejected even though I made the 3.2 and took 2 extra hours above and beyond the 30 hour requirement...that would be cruel on their part.

However, I've reviewed the CAP requirements and all the classes I've taken are the correct course numbers. 

At this point, the anticipation is messing with me. The stress is all in my head; it has My Mind Playing Tricks On Me, like the Geto Boys. 

I've been trying to find ways to unwind, these consist of playing basketball almost every day with my buddies David, Zach, Chris and Scott, chill time with Khaled and his sisters (Summer, Jawaher and sometimes Yasmin), and helping my parents out around the house.

For now, I cope with this song by A Tribe Called Quest.

Freshman Year is Over

A lot has happened since I last blogged!

I made 300 dollars DJing for a sorority and fraternity at UTSA, I got my iPhone replaced, and I experienced 2nd semester finals for the 1st time!

I also had the first of three birthday parties. This first one was at Ryan's, and it was probably the best party I've ever been to (thanks to our list of Ryan's House Rules). I'm glad it was so successful, there were no problems and no one got drunk and passed out. Everyone was there, and Zach and Jill even came up from A&M to see me! 

The Cool Kids released their second mixtape, "Gone Fishing," and I was thoroughly impressed; but neither of their first two mixtapes ("Cool Ass Ninjas" & "Gone Fishing") have been able to compare to their first release, the Bake Sale EP. Here's to hoping the album is greater than all three combined!

Then, finals week came. My concerta, Red Bull, and Whataburger's breakfast biscuits got me through the week (not to mention my brothers from other mothers: David, Jeff, Jonny, and Tony). All that's left now is to wait for final grades to come back in, and then I'll know what college I'll be going to next year (Cal State or UT)...I'll be making the official announcement here on my blog, so stay tuned!
