Memories

i love getting mail, but i believe i may have said that too
often because our mailbox is flodded with college-related
mail every day. most of it would best serve the purpose of
kindling a fire, but i need to pick through in order to
find the good stuff. today, the "good stuff" was an
envelope from tasc, which i assumed would contain the list
with all of the other kids' phone numbers and e-mail
addresses. i wonder if we'll ever get that...or maybe i
just didn't get it. come to think of it, the letter we got
today sounded as if it was the first thing they sent to us
since the end of the program. ok, now that we're all
clear...

so what was actually in the envelope was a letter of
greeting, a questionnaire to fill out and return to them, a
picture of my class, a picture of everyone who was there
standing together on the main staircase, and a collage of
picutres that looks like it would be used as an
advertisement for the program. it was so exciting to get
this stuff! i'd better fill out the questionnaire soon, or
i'll never get to it.

i can see myself getting either fed up with homelife or fed
up with "the college search" and just deciding to go to
tac. i heard that if you go to the summer program, you're
pretty much guaranteed a spot in the entering freshmen
class. but i know i don't want the type of classes they
have there. and i don't like the whole isolation thing
either. there's NOTHING around the college.

hmmm, football pool didn't go so well this week.
apparently, i came in second to last even though my record
thus far for this week is a not-extremely-terrible 8-5.
it's okay; we have to give the boys a turn to win. i
understand. and i think it was nick's first time winning,
so i won't get upset about it. in study todfay, nick and
jeff decided to quiz me on my football knowledge as they
often do to people who they think no nothing about
football. nick actually defended me (i think) in saying
that i "knew football." but they asked me questions about
safeties, which rarely come into play. ok, i know that
they're worth 2 points, which is the basic thing. so i
wasn't aware that the team that scored gets possession
after that. so what? :) all in good fun, all in good fun.

i was really hoping for that contact list. humph. oh, but
there are pictures of andrew...it's a shame he plans on
entering the monastery! no, no, i'm really happy for him.
