Guest Post #2

It's been a while since I made my first guest post, and Dad has told me that today's post is all on me. So here are some of the things I have been up to since the last time I posted. 

- With my Dad's present of $200 for fancy clothes that he left my friend Sam in charge of, I got a couple of nice shirts, including this wonderful sweater that I have worn a few times. None of these clothes match my usual style (sports shirt and basketball shorts), but I guess change is what college is all about. 

- I dominated my history of jazz class, finishing with a perfect 4.0 grade. After a couple months of learning about different musicians, my favorite is still easily Dizzy Gillespie with his incredibly puffed out cheeks. I also managed to pull out a 3.1 in my second calculus class. This semester I have the third and final calculus class that I will have to take, a computer programming class, and an online statistics class. Two weeks down, and so far so good. 

- I have gotten a lot healthier since my first semester. I always swore that I would never let the "Freshman Fifteen" happen to me... but it did. My first semester diet consisted of chicken fingers for lunch, pizza for dinner, at least a soda per day, and very little running or basketball to keep me in shape. Now I have turned that around to chicken caesar salads every day, only one soda a week, and running three miles every day. I have to work hard these last couple months to get my camp body on. And speaking of camp-

- I have secured my job as a camp counselor for next summer. This will be my third, and most likely last, summer at Camp Spindrift in Gloucester. I have loved every second of working there, and it will really stink when I have a summer that doesn't involve playing with four, five and six year olds every day. Every day I look forward to this summer that is coming up. It won't be long until I can get paid for doing stuff like this. (I'm the big kid in the orange shirt and black bandanna. I still can't figure out why they pay me to have this much fun. I love doing this around campus, and I get nothing for it.)

- I am pretty sure I have found a roommate for next year at UW. Jen couldn't be happier about me possibly rooming with Marco, since he is a gay guy from Rome, and Jen seems to really want me to end up being gay and marrying a man named Pedro. Marco is a really nice, down to earth dude, and now its just a matter of finding an apartment or deciding to live in the dorms. 

- I became a family disappointment by coming in dead last this year in Dad's office pool for march madness. I got no excuses for my pathetic performance. I guess after my school failed to even make the tournament, I lost all hope. Next year I will come back with a bang and take all of them down.

And that's about it. It has been a pretty successful freshman year for me, that is coming to an end pretty soon. I will be sure to do a surprise guest post if anything interesting happens soon!
