April Showers

It's raining outside. I love it. It is definitely April weather, complete with thunderstorms. And...its Thursday, meaning all I have to do is make it through Friday (which are always questionable), and then its the weekend, meaning.... dancing at MARGARITA ROCKS!!! I'm pretty excited. Aggie Muster is also tomorrow night...never been, so I guess I'll get to see how that goes. Muster is one of A&M's may traditions. What happes is that 'On April 21st, each year, on the anniversary of the Battle of San Jacinto, Aggies gather together, wherever they are, to commemorate fellow Aggies, who have died during the year. This tradition was begun April 21, 1903.' (<-- I had to memorize that.) So, whenever I die, no matter when it is, I will be commemorated by my Aggie family. I think thats really cool, and thats one of the things that makes A&M so unique from other universities. Lately, things have been going pretty good. I have basically one week and one day left of the Corps. Next week is going to be pretty bad, mainly because we are earning everything to be a sophomore. We've have been doing training drills lately, to get ready to train the fish next year, and I have really surprised myself at how mean I can be sometimes. I like it. :) Of course, its only when I have to be....I'm not a mean person....usually. My brother would probably argue otherwise. Speaking of...I got to see my family over the weekend. I went home Thursday for Easter. I saw basically everyone, including family I hadn't seen since Christmas. It was pretty cool. I wish I could go home this weekend for Christy's quince, but I won't be able to :( I love seeing everyone at home, but I can only be there for so long before I get annoyed at certain things. So much goes on behind my back that really pisses me off. My aunt has mood swings that really get on everyones nerves. I try to get my brother and sister away, because I know they get annoyed with a bunch of crap as well. I feel bad for them sometimes, but I tell them just to work hard so they can get out of there. They get the raw end of the deal, and I feel bad being so far away from them. I care about them a lot, and I hate seeing them upset. It is my sister mainly that is upset when I go home. I hate it. She has been talking about coming to A&M, and that would be so awesome if she can make it. We would have a lot of fun down here together. As for Tony...I don't know what he wants to do. I honestly don't think college is for him, as of now anyway. Maybe he could join the Marine Corps....live out one of my other dreams. Anyway...I've bene planning my summer, and it doesn't look very fun. Final Review is May 13th....I will go home that day. On the 15th I will start a May mini-mester class (Intro to Theater). I'll be home for arounf three weeks. During that time I have two graduations: Bridgeport and Northwest. I know like 10 people graduating from BHS and one (Maria)from NHS. Then at the beginning of June I will come back to A&M to start my Summer I classes. I am signed up for two classes right now, but I may go down to just one, depending if I find a job, and how much time I work. Then in July I will be taking more classes, probably one or two, depending on my schedule. I should get aorund 12-15 hours this summer, making me a Junior, and leaving only one year till I get my AGGIE RING!!!! WHooP!! Anyway...school...thats what my summer consists of, however it should be kind of fun since I will be living with a friend in his apartment, working, and no Corps to worry about. I'll have lots of time to utilize the rec as well, and I will have a car down here. My brother is having his quince this summer too, so I will be going back and forth to help with all the planning as much as I can. I am just ready for the summer to get here. The summer brings new routine and fun (hopefully). Guess thats all for now...until next time, take care.
