wrapping up the summer
Yesterday marked a week from my last day at work. It's only like 12 days or something until I move into the dorms at Chico State. That's less than 2 weeks. And I still haven't once been in the lake. I haven't gone wakeboarding or anything!
Anyway, I guess the summer is starting to close for me. The days are getting shorter already, and the ceremonial "Joe take the person from work who's leaving out to lunch" day was yesterday (we went to subway). Even my boss is in on it. He walked up to me yesterday and asked, "Hey, Dave, how do you like getting your ass kicked?". I think I replied "Only if it's by you, George." He walked away laughing, nodding in agreement. I only hope that Chico is fun, which I know it will be, but I am just waiting. I'm not nervous or anything, it's just that it is college.
Both my parent's have degrees. My mom has a masters, my dad has 2 masters, an MD, 2 residencies, etc..., so he is quite the overachiever. Why do I hate this? They expect the same from me. First, some people look at me and say they "hate spoiled little bitches that get everything from daddy and everyone else in between", which is shitty enough for me, especially when people say that stuff without having any sort of backing whatsoever. As if I could choose my parents. But now I feel I have to fit my dad's shoes. And the way my schooling has gone so far, I have quite a ways to go.
So I am not nervous about college, per se, but I am just waiting to see how things go.
have fun in college, it was fun talking to you so much over the sum sum.. we be work buddies
