still goin. 3 more weeks
On top of thesis, i finished the OTL budget request. download it soon if you wanna see what my life revolves around cuz i’m not leaving that up for long. also beware it’s like 26MB because the photos included are print-quality. hopefully i’ve secured around $12,000 for the club next year. Which is a good deal because we took 1 in 12 Claremont Colleges students (and 1 in 5 Pomona students) on an outdoor trip this year. no shit, that’s some impact. OTL rocks. next up is hiring staff.
I got in to the UW-Madison intensive Arabic program! So i’m going there this summer; june 11 – august 6. in May and the rest of August I’ll be working for OA again because I can’t stay away cuz it’s too awesome =)
but… from the end of May until June 11 I will be on the road, baby! let me know if you either (1) want to ride with or (2) are able to put me up for the night. I’m down to go anywhere west of the Mississippi. The hopeful route is – LA – mid NorCal – Bay Area – Portland – Seattle – Vancouver / Whistler-Blackcomb mountain biking – Idaho – Colorado – St Louis – Chicago – Madison. Seriously if you’re in any of these places in early June tell me. Already I think Seattle/mtn biking and Colorado, and of course STL will work.
I have to quote part of a song I really like right now
Children grow too fast without a strong foundation
They ain’t built to last, they reject their past
Cut class and the generation gap is vast
So they scared to ask, it’s a difficult task:
We gotta unlearn the lie and unveil the mask
Teach’em how to be thorough, and not come half-assed
Everything that we want is right behind the glass
Yo it’s yours for the taking, hit’em, full blastChorus
We stand face to face with hardship ya’ll, we never run,
Soon Come
Going out to all of my Cinnabunz and when we’re done
Soon Come
We wanna welcome you all into the new millenniumm,
Soon Come
Remember staying proper*, and don’t forget where you come from,
Soon ComeIm 24 years old and, molded by my peers and family
Keep’em close ’cause no one else can handle me
Some might find me strange the way I change moods
One minute from the next, go from happy to vexed
With no prompt. I’d be foolish to think there’s no calm
With brothers outside my show standing round like, “Wanna romp?”
Well Hip Hop is what I do
You think a brother can’t do this simply for the heart, but I do
You put this in a capsule for years, because it’s timeless
These rhymes ain’t only nice. Son, I’m killing’em with kindness
yeah. goodnight =)
*this is definitely a misquote but I couldn’t find anything correct on the web. It’s something like “Remember San Kofa…” but I have no clue what that means.
