Hell and Back-ish
First update in about four weeks! That's great. I missed this so much, my fingers were itching for typed self-expression for awhile now. Sorry, but college apps are still not done. Almost! So close.
Right now, all the stress is just piling on and sometimes I'm barely able to keep up. I haven't been able to be a morning person for awhile now, it's difficult when you have a 10:30 bedtime and a 5am calltime.
Some things have happened that have made me realize the duplicity of people (I find it ironic that I am reading "The Great Gatsby" as I find this duplicity). People I respected seem to have turned their backs on one of my good friends, laughing and poking fun at him and it killed me to see him struggle on his own. It's all said and done now, but looking given past experiences, I don't think I can look at some people the same way ever again. People can be such bitches sometimes.
The hell I aforementioned is, of course, college applications. Way to put my high school experience into perspective. I wept as I input my grades for math.
The best and probably only enjoyable part of the application for me was writing the personal statement for the UC applications. Reminiscing... call me a sympathetic fool, and I'll only be inclined to agree.
Also, more inspirations that I've found include The Nerdist, Chris Hardwick. Fine fellow, nerdy and hilarious. His site is great, and also Web Soup. YES. This, The Soup, Dexter, It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia and USA Network all make me want cable SO badly. Also, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, AverageJOE, has been doing neat stuff with his forum. Journalism can help me set up interviews/chances to meet them, yes? Like they did with me and LALO ALCARAZ?! Hell yeah. He's my hero. One of them, at least.
If you don't believe me, here is some Hardwick stuff:
Primal ME Therapy
Melons!
All of the above video are Web Soup. Huzzah! They works.
