Ah… what a week. Well first off, let me welcome you to the first Week in Review, basically a synopsis of what’s happened to me during the week and stuff. As this is the second birthday of the blog, my goal is to launch a bunch of weekly (bi-weekly, or monthly) segments in order to facilitate a consistent level of content updates on the blog. So, without further adieu, the week in review.

So, this is my second to last week of school as a high school junior. I can’t lie, this year went way to fast. Really, it went from the first week of school to winter break to spring break and then the end of the year. That being said, being a three season athlete (fall, winter, and spring) doesn’t help slow down the process at all.

Monday was basically just a regular old day, for the most part. Wake up, feel like crap because I got five hours sleep at the most, and went to school. Wrote an essay in English for a practice exam we we’re taking, played some cards in Study Hall like always, French teacher was absent so we played cards third period too, Math knocked me to sleep again, and a double period of chemistry didn’t help keep me alert to top it off. Lunch was lunch, band was a study hall (as it’s been for the past week and a half) and in AP History we played Uno, because we have nothing to do (AP test was back in May, so we are done with the class). Monday night we all trucked out to the Verizon store and got our new phones. My parents and my grandfather got the enV 2, which is nicer than the phones they had before. I decided to get the Blackberry Storm, despite some of the negative criticism surrounding it. Don’t worry; a full review of it will be up by mid-week, if I can get around to it. Anyway, I basically spent most of the night playing with the phone, which didn’t lend me much sleep that night either.

The rest of the week, in terms of school, was basically the same as it was on Monday. Essays, cards, and sleep. But, there is something more notable that has been happening that I have decided to dedicate a whole separate paragraph to today. You see, as I eluded to in my post How Long Does it Take to Realize?, ‘C’ and I weren’t going to be getting together anytime soon. Thing is, shit changed.

The main reason for my reluctance was due to a friend of both of ours, the person who, in some ways, hooked us up. You see, he’s liked her for a long time, and despite the fact that he hooked us up as Prom dates, he still liked her. Recently he told her that, and she turned him down. Why? For two reasons, actually. First off, she said that she could never see him in way, and that they were better of friends. Secondly, because she still had feelings for me. After I learned this (that she didn’t have feelings for him), I immediately decided to change my game plan. The way I see it, it’s a Pascal’s Gamble of sorts: If you have nothing to lose by living your life one way, why not? So, by hooking up with her, I have nothing to lose, but everything to gain. It’s not that I want to use her, seeing as though I genuinely like her, but under normal circumstances I may have not pursued it.
So, over the past week we’ve been talking, and, in most people’s eyes, we are dating de facto, it’s just that we haven’t actually ‘declared’ it yet. So, the first thing I will do tomorrow is take care of the formalities and just ask her. I got this situation under control, no worries.

So, that was my Week in Review. I hope you enjoyed the first part of it. Oh, and WWDC is tomorrow, so make sure you check out my predictions for it!
