Reading Hardballkid's journal

Not giving a flying luck, or so it seems. I wish. 16 days. Sixteen days and the 4 years of high school are over forever. Sixteen days and I turn 19 as well. Nothing to big. That is ninteen is no pinnacle age or anything. Ninteen is a crossover age between smoking and drinking- none of which I partake of, of course.

Back to graduation- I am excited to say the least. Im really looking forward to my Get out of the house and go live on campus Free Pass- only ill be paying the $200 instead of collecting. I recieved my financial aid package about 2 weeks ago from my college and saw that ill be getting about a 70% ride. So- only a few thousand will we have to fork out ourselves. We will probably just still go with the colleges student loans seeing how the interest rates are impressively low.

Also started a new job about 3 weeks ago. Its going well- great co-workers, ok pay, but hard work.

Im starting to feel like Im actually in the drivers seat of my own life. Having two sets of parents has dicatated my life for much of my existence- but now...its my turn and I feel a lead
foot pumping the gas.

"Whatever tomorrow brings I'll be there with open arms and open eyes."

I hope to be little more active again at NAO after my brief AWOL period. I feel as if I might not have to time, however.

Now are ye undeceived! Welcome, again, my children, to the communion of your race!
