Daniel Webster's Lonely Hearts Club Band

The turkey was great, football was boring but the highlight of the week was on Saturday. A large white package from Daniel Webster College arrived. Trembling in fear, I opened it.

I have good news.

I just saved a bunch of money by switching to Geico!

Kidding!

Anyways, I tore it open and opened up a folder to reveal several letters, the first one saying "Congragulations on your acceptance to Daniel Webster!" Needless to say, I was elated for hours.

Embry-Riddle and Bridgewater State have also accepted me but Daniel Webster is my top pick for a multitude of reasons. Proximity to home, skiing, airport on location, private pilot liscence by October, small campus, it won out in the end. It's got AFROTC so I can get my first step into a larger world called the F/A-22.

In other words, my parents and my sister went off to get a christmas tree while I sat at home and wrote a paper for English. Dad did his usual arm thing. We can't take him anywhere in public!

Tis the season to be jolly I suppose. The tree's still waiting in the garage to be all light up and tinseled. Christmas trees are fun. Christmas is even more fun. That being said, Happy Hannukah!

I feel like such a dirtbag! -Alex

The Senior Class of 2006

Halloween. 2001. Sun was shining and all was normal. Normal. As normal was defined four years ago. Anyways, it was on that day when Mr. Gleason walked into Mr. Fournier's room and presented St. Dom's to my class. On that very Halloween. He talked about how great the school supposedly was, how it was brand new and had all this great stuff. I won a vinyl jacket that day cause I answered some random question correctly. I marked 'very interested' on a little sheet of paper and took an application. Then I thought to myself 'Thanks, but no thanks' and carried on with life.

But St. Athanasius St. John School was full of cretins, as any other school would be. I was their specified target. It became clear before the end of the year, I had to get the hell out of that situation before something bad happened. Ultimately, I changed my mind. I sent in the application.

And from that point onward, well, I'll just say its a long, long, long story.

The end result however, came out amazingly well. Certainly, my class has jerks, but nobody this time is against me. They have all accepted me as who I am and I am grateful of that. To the Class of 2006 - Thank You!

In other news, I've been accepted into Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, my #2 school! That knocks Bridgewater State and Florida Tech off the list. Now it is down to Daniel Webster, which is my #1. Once they respond, I'll know where I'm going next year.

"Good Morning! Its a beautiful rainy day! Time to get up!" -Mr. Servidio at 6:30 this morning.
