Distracted by Life

One of the reasons why I haven't posted in quite awhile is because I have been busy with life. Very busy. Way back in the beginning I said that there are four parts to my life (swimming, music, Boy Scouts, and school) besides socializing with my friends. All four of those are winding down now that I am near the end of high school.
  • Swimming: My last end-of-the-year awards banquet for high school swimming was last week, concluding my high school swimming career as a four year varsity Captain of the men's team, Coaches Award recipient, First Team All-Division 500 freestyler, and school record holder in the 400 meter freestyle. As for my club team, I am taking a break for at least a month (much to my coach's disapproval... oops!).
  • Music: Marching Band season is long-gone, with me earning the MVP award as one of two Drum Majors in the band. Jazz band is ongoing, and will be wrapping up sometime in April. Unless I join a music group in college for fun, I am almost done.
  • Boy Scouts: As of yesterday, I have every single requirement fulfilled for the rank of Eagle. Now I submit my application and project write-up to the Council, who will approve me for earning Eagle. Then it will go off to National, who will give the official stamp of approval. Finally, it comes back to my troop and I participate in a final Board of Review before my Court of Honor. When I turn 18 in May, I am finished with Boy Scouts.
  • School: Oh boy, have I become the stereotypical "second-semester senior"! Except for my two AP classes, if I can't do the work in school... it's probably not getting done. I got accepted to Fairfield University and Marist College, both with a nice academic scholarship attached. Needless to say, school is winding down.
The second reason I have neglected to keep this updated is that... well... I don't have much to say! With all my free time, I definitely plan on doing something. What that is, I have no idea. But with these few precious months that I have where nothing much of anything is going on, I'll do something. Stay tuned for... whatever it is I do!
