8. Host a party at my house ( The pool is there for a reason)
9. Grill a steak and eat it ( Not too unusual but very tasty)
10. Stick a Baylor bumper sticker on the back of my mom's care ( She definitely needs one)

College Transitioning
I'm finding it slightly harder to focus in school now that I know AP's are over and I am in to college. While I know that I need to hold it together in order to avoid the dreaded "senior finals", I'm beginning to question the purpose of my work in High School at this point. I've begun to ask myself: is there a real point to my work here or are my teachers just buying time whilst I transition to an entirely new situation? Perhaps in this way I'm finally starting to sympathize with Mersault and his world view. Before his death, Mersault feels that it doesn't really matter what he does with his time on Earth since his existence his short and the world will not remember whether he died in his 70's or his 30's. Hopefully though I won't make a trigger give and shoot an Arab before the end of the school year though. I wonder if I would still graduate after that.
