What Title?

Apparently, I can't really think of a title for this blog. Might as well let out on what's been going on.

This lady from this UCLA program for youth jobs called me recently regarding my application. She said she needed a few mature students for this particular position that only 2 will be selected. Since I'm one of the qualifying individuals, I have to make an arrangement for my job interview next week. I haven't called her back on what date I'd like to go, but I have a feeling I'm going to choose the 9th around 9-10 am. Hopefully I'll be able to get this job. If I'm selected, I start sometime around the 14th from 8:30-12:30 pm Mon-Friday. Not sure on how much I'll get paid though. As long as I get a job, I'll be good during summer.

I finally called my dentist to schedule an appointment regarding my braces on Saturday. I'm scheduled in for 2 pm and my mother is going with me as well. I haven't been in touch with my dentist for so long that I'm so late to get braces. I had my X-Ray completed about half a year ago, so I should be all set by now. Senior year is right around the corner and I'm going to deal with the fact that my braces might be a bother. It's a good thing that I'm finally getting them though. I should've got it a few years back. I hope Saturday is the day so I can get it over with already. I'm sick of pushing it back and wait on when to get them.

Summer hasn't been that boring lately. I've gone out here and there, but mostly at home talking to my Skype Crew members. I've been sleeping late as well. The latest is around 3 am now. My body growth has stopped I believe so I won't be getting any taller than I desire to be. I've consumed more food than I imagined. I need to make my list on what to do during my summer. I don't want to end up doing the same routine all over again and pretend that alot of things happened when nothing much came about. I should definitely make a scrapbook for memories. I know I haven't quite taken as many photos as I wanted, but Senior year will be it. I'll miss my current friends from LAHS. I don't really keep in contact with them during our two month break. Once school starts, we'll be catching up on the good & bad things that happened while spending summer away from school. Everything will seem like we just started high school all over again as 9th graders. Pretty weird, but that's how it feels for me. Things will be different once we go back. New classes, new people, teachers, and maybe new personalities. I've noticed for the past year people have changed on who they are, which prevents me from figuring out as to why this change occurred. It's like that one quote "whatever happens, happens." I mean sure I agree with that quote and all, but I seem to be curious for the reason as to why things just turned out the way they are. I hate to go on without knowing the purpose that it happened. That's how I've been thus far over the past month. Things are beginning to clear up and I'm not so stressed or worried as I was few weeks ago. I am however content of where I am, despite of certain things. I hope it'll stay this way for the time being *knocks on wood*.

I'll edit later if anything else is up.

Drop-In Center Field Trip & Skype Changes.

I went out with some of the members of the Drop-In Center for mini golf and laser tag. It turned out great! The heat was annoying, but everything else was alright. I was almost left behind when I found out everyone was in the bus as I was getting my food from the counter at Castle Park. It was kind of embarrassing, yet hilarious. My group lost during laser tag after two rounds. I kept being a part of the yellow team, no matter who was on my group. Lol, running around trying to shoot your opponents was tiring. Overall, I love and will miss the experiences I've had with the members. The main coordinators, Ernie and Yenny are in negotiations with the new after school program regarding whether or not they'll remain at LA High. I do hope that they do stay because they sure kick ass. I may do some community service/leadership related programs sometime during summer and perhaps throughout the whole senior year. I sure do need to step it up more.

Now on to Skype. Basically, it's a way to communicate with others through your microphone that acts like a telephone. Though it has some issues with the major lags and what not, it's a useful program that helps you keep in touch better than Ustream.tv I suppose. So far it's been great talking to the Ustream members, well just certain ones. These newbies keep entering our chat and conference, which is going too far. I love our 'Skype Crew' and all, which consists of at least 12-13 people. Nowadays it's like 16. That can nearly destroy my internet. The noobs are expanding and it's not good. They make the conversation awkward and uninteresting. At first I was used to Ustream full of noobies these days, but Skype is another story. I don't mean to sound selfish or anything, but lately it hasn't been the same. Skype has brought people closer, especially with the people I've been speaking to now. I know our conversations can be off topic at times, but the beauty of it is the closure from each and every one of us, as well as what we have in common. I'm not interested into talking to such annoying and odd individuals who are only on the conference because the main person that is in charge of the chat in which they were/are in, is either the host or participating. Certain people add these noobs and it has to be stopped. Skype is the only place in which we all connect and having more useless people is apparently getting out of hand. I don't know if anyone would agree to this, but hey...everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I just hope this cools down soon though. It's not so exciting as it used to, but it's still worth it.
