First off, I totally missed sign ups to retake them in November, so I decided since my mom and I fought about 20 minutes before this, to just register for the December ones. Except a funny thing happened, after I had payed with my debit card..OH RIGHT.. I'm away at the All-State Music Conference the weekend of the December SATs. WAY TO GO RYAN!! But I resolved that by simply speaking with my guidance counselor and I have to come back on Monday to see if I can take it as a walk in. We'll see how that pans out..
Secondly, I totally didn't do any application nonsense until about 25 minutes ago. Well that's totally exaggerating. I did my SUNY (State University of New York) Applications online, and am just waiting for the go-ahead to send them and pay for them. I started the supplemental applications for them. I did half of my NYU Application, but stopped at the essay, which I started at around 12:30AM. Oh yeah, and I just started my Emmanuel, Northeastern and BU Applications..splendid
Thirdly, I had completed my resume about 3 weeks ago, but thanks to having my computer no hooked up to a printer I emailed it to my new one. This new one, has shiny new Microsoft Word. It has all the settings that I don't know how to work, and so copying and pasting my resume, which originally resulted in a perfectly engineered and well spaced 2 pager, into a monstrous 4 page disaster of a resume after I pasted it. EPIC FAIL. So fiddling with it for the past 3 weeks, tonight I simple click the "NO SPACES" Mode or whatever, and POOF! Perfectly "Re-Engineered". I just showed the world how stupid I am with that. So Much relief :)
For the rest of my week however I didn't really do much. I haven't really played WoW, partially because I feel simply lost in Azeroth except for Hallows End, and the other reason is my dad jacked my internet cable to play Call of Duty 4 on the XBOX 360 Live. Joy. A 47 year old playing with my brothers 14 year old friends, makes for quite a time. One quick anecdote, yesterday my dad was setting up his little gaming home with the folding chair near the TV for the usual hour long stint of cursing and getting WTF-pwned by 5 year olds, when suddenly I hear him let out a yell, and with a giant thud, my father fell over backwards with a broken folding chair. It was probably the closest I came to actually believing Karma, HAHAHA.
The one thing I did in particular this week was the 46th Annual Newsday Marching Band Festival. Basically, it's where all the schools on Long Island make a yearly pilgrimage to Hofstra Stadium to partake in a giant performance of their halftime shows. 3 nights of school bands, luckily we only go for 1. However, New York weather on the 23 of October seemed more like the 23 of December. It was pretty friggin chilly out there. I mean kicking wasn't bad, it was the sitting in the wind-swept bleachers that made the water in your eyes freeze.
Here's one more shot of us being pretty beastly, see if you can guess who I am :)
If you'd like to actually watch our band routine extravaganza, feel free to go to the Newsday Marching Band Website & search good old Bethpage.
Later Kids, It's a little late for me
