Hello, you guys! Sorry for no updates since my acceptance to Gallaudet University!
So much has happened since then! Right now I am traveling ( more like cruising) down I-95 en route to the sunshine state, where I will be spending my thanksgiving, I know, I know I am a very lucky senior!
Anyway, back to my update, I have been really busy with my duties as chairperson for Miss. VSDB pageant, sponsored by the Jr.NlAD, Academic Bowl practices, preparing for my graduation, managing the Varsity Boys' basketball team, and I just was appointed as the High School rep for the food committee. I also have been voted Senior prince, by the High School body. There are two princes, one will be King. Wow! I will try to fit more time updating my blog but my HOMEWORK COMES FIRST!

The First two weeks of Senior Year...
Wow! Time flies when you are busy actually doing homework so you don't have to waste your energy creating transparent bullshit for the teachers to "see"! I love the classes.. (As for right now...) I have many brillant teachers and one awesome job coach! There are several teachers that I still wish I was under them.. Especially Rhondy! That's how Life rocks and rolls!
There is still the Soap Opera that plays out day to day! O, The Drama! (VSD ALUMS, yep Season 4 just started last week) We should just film ourselves without scripts and we would outperform the sadistic and may I say, poorly produced soap operas that the hearies make, especially with their rather totally fake and sometimes confusing "deaths", Come on, who returns from the death 5 times? We all know that's so crappy! I think our dramatic evironment is much better than Oakdale!...

Special People of VSD #1: Mary Murray
This is the first of many blogs recongizing Special People of VSD, who have created a impact on me during my years at VSD. The Blogs are NOT in a ranking order of popualarity or favoritism of any sort. The purpose of this series is to recongize people.
Mary Murray, Who is the Director of Student Life at my beloved school. I want to tell you about her. She is one of the most wonderful person at VSDB. She is under constant pressure to ensure the students' residental life are pleasant and as homely as much as possible. She does a lot for VSDB. She always loves to chat with all of her students, from all type of backgrounds. I have always found her in the office with the door wide open. I recall during the first few years, I did not like her because of what I was told, but as I found out the actual truth, I started enjoying interacting with her. I have learned al ot from my interactions with her. We also have one thing in common: We both are Chocolohics! When I graduate from VSD, I can tell you, she will be greatly missed! Thanks for all the great times!

Time Waits for No One
"There is never enough time to do everything, but there is always enough time to do the most important thing." -- Brian Tracy
With 11 days left, before I go back to my beloved school, for the final year. I look back to many fond memories of my years there. I realize that Time can either be your friend or your foe. I am filled with a mixture of prickling sadness and inspiring joy. I feel the prickling sadness because I know, that time will come soon enough to let go of everything I know and love. I feel the inspiring joy because I know there are many challenges and opporunties waiting for me out and knowing that there a group of people who are rooting for me and I cannot let them down. I will have only 179 days to laugh, cry,learn, experience, and to create memories before I say farewell to my beloved alma mater, or as I like to call it, my home.
I will begin a series of blog on how people at VSD impacted me during my years at VSD.I will write a series of blogs called "Memories from the Cardinal's Nest" I hope you will enjoy my series.

What does it really mean to be a senior?
In my Earlier blog, "My Thoughts as a Rising Senior", I posed the question. Here is my answer as promised.
My answer to this question will change during my senior year. I will answer what I THINK it means to be a senior, because I am not exactly there yet.
I think it means, time to wake up, and be serious. It's only a matter of time before I get thrown out of my security and comfort zones. (I am already freaked out thinking about that!) It's also excited because I, along with my class, will be at the top, but then everyone will stare at us, waiting for our move. I hope I can be a better role model this year. I have to start really thinking clearly about four extremely important things which are : my choices, actions, my present and my future. As my friend who is a former principal at my school, quoted Descartes, "Cogito, Ergo Sum" which translates in "I think, therefore I am"
I realized that during this year, I will turn eighteen, and with that comes great powers, but I am reminded of what Ben Parker (Peter Parker's uncle) said, "With power, comes great responsibilities"
Like other seniors, I have one thing on my mind, Graduation! My family, and friends can tell how over the top I am about graduating! I am literally counting down to the day! ( see the countdown!) I will post 3 blogs on the weeks before graduation and one after.

My Thoughts as a Rising Senior
Whoa! I cannot believe time flies so fast... It seems like yesterday I was leaving school to meet the warm rays of the sun that I was longing for.. Already its only 7 weeks before I return to school as a senior.. My thoughts start to shift in a new direction due to excess time on my hands.... I start pondering this question " What does it really mean to be a senior?" and I reflect on my past mistakes I made.. Some with regret and some with laughter.. I will post my answer to the question stated in the next blog.
When I got my class ring (more details about it later) I begun thinking and realizing that it was my last year, my final chance to do what I have always wanted to do.. I realized that the past three years I have been too focused on the serious things and not really having fun. I decided to let things slide on their own. ( My grades is a exception to that sliding thing). I want to have fun this year. After all , A senior gotta have his share of fun? Correct me, if I am wrong!
I also realized that I have to follow my heart, and not give up on my dreams, my passions, which I have neglected in the past three years. It has cost me dearly but I hope to make big strides to make up for it!
This is the beginning of a series of exciting blogs that will document my senior year, its ups and down, my experiences as a senior, my graduation, and my transition to Gallaudet University, where I will also write about my first year there here too!
