Update

Its been a while since I wrote in this so I thought I would just jot some things down.

The SIFE table at SOAR ended up getting 205 signups, which is far more than I expected. I'm hoping for a 20-30% conversion ratio which would place our freshmen recruits just from SOAR at about 40-60. These numbers might be a little overly optimistic, but we'll see.

We have a SIFE EB meeting this week. I'm excited to see what we all have been up to.

I'm taking two summer classes this session. Both are history classes. One is on Germany after Hitler and the other is on Euro history since 1660. The Germany class is much more interesting, even though both classes have the same teacher. I made As in both of my classes last semester.

I've been going to the gym and shooting hoops with Dallas a good bit. I'm getting better, although I'm no where near where most kids are my age. My shot is falling better... sometimes.. and my ball handling is slowly improving. I still look really bad in competition though.

I have a massive reading list backed up. I am way behind.

I've started watching the Jimmy Falon show and its pretty funny.

It seems like sometime over the past few months my overall attitude towards life has changed. I'm amazingly inspired and see the forecast as very bright. I love my life more than ever before.

I move into my new apartment in like the second week of August. I'm really excited and can't wait to put some IdeaPaint on my walls. For those of you who don't know what that is, it basically turns your wall into a whiteboard.

I'm really excited about next school year as well. Aside from all the SIFE stuff, I'm a peer mentor for a group of freshmen and I get to teach a class. I want to apply for the tour guides still but I am uncertain because of a scheduling conflict. I dropped one of my classes to try and have an easier semester. Hopefully the adjustment isn't too much, but I'm preparing for it.
