Classes!
Job hunting has been negative... I doubt I'll get a job, considering that I have an internship for two weeks at the end of July.
So I was looking at my classes and was confirming the schedule or whatever. So it looks like this:
Mondays & Wednesdays: Political Science 10-11a; English 1-3p
Tuesdays & Thursdays: Philosophy 9-11a; Math 12-2p
Fridays: Political Science 11a-12p; English 1-3p
I suppose it looks good? On Monday mornings, classes don't start until 10am, which is great for weekend recovery right?. I always have a break at 12pm...for an hour! And no classes after 3pm. Yesssss.
No luck on finding a roommate, though. I have until July 2nd to submit a preferred roommate. I don't want some random drunktard! =(

Gradu-what?
I know it has been a while since I have made an entry. So some big things have happened... I don't really feel like typing each play-by-play. So I'm going to just give you the gist of it all.
On May 20th, I went to the Salute to Excellence Banquet. Some of you probably already know about it, but I know there are some people who are very dear to me who have no clue. Out of 3,600 graduating seniors in San Diego County, 83 were chosen for being in the top 1% of their class. I got a cool medal, certificate of achievement, and a fancy pen. I felt kind of bad because I didn't really have any emotion about it... but that doesn't mean I didn't care. At first, I didn't think it was real lol. Anyhow, the school was very excited because I was their first student to ever receive such recognition.
Then there was graduation rehearsal, finals, had my last newspaper meeting (more like a party and passed out certificates of appreciation to a select few). Alright, so the funny thing that happened was that I while I was walking to get my medal at the Salute to Ex., I found out I was valedictorian of my class. So of course I was like, "...what?" When did this happen! And what a crappy way to find out! Anyhow, from then on, I accepted it and chose to give a speech. At first I didn't, but it wasn't the right thing to do. I mean, who's had a valedictorian and NOT have a speech? I certainly didn't want to be the first senior to do that. :\
It sucked because most people get their entire second semester to write it. Oh well, I made one up in a few weeks.
On graduation day, the seniors and a few teachers went out to have a Mexican styled breakfast in an old part of San Diego. My feet hurt, I was mostly either barefoot or in heels. The food WAS GOOD, I had Chorizo con Huevos and orange juice.
Alright, so before graduation, the school had a barbecue and Sharp Hospital TV crew was walking around filming. It was weird because I kept hiding and they kept trying to film, "the big shot." They finally got me and I said my blah blahs.
It was time to "walk" and some of the admin forgot that I got a yellow chord to wear which signifies honor students. Only about 2-3 students got one, so I felt extra special. :-P
Anyhow, I had no idea so it wasn't like I could have reminded them. Who forgets that?
OK--so here's the speech. The video was crap, so I separated the audio from video.

Graduated!
Now I'm sitting at home doing nothing. Trying to find a job, but having difficulties because no one wants to hire someone who can only work 2 months. Hopefully, if God willing, I'll be able to pay off the $1,4000 deposit for the dorms at San Francisco State. I have $560 now...only $840 to go. Grawwr.
