It has been a while...

It really has been a long time since I last write a blog post. It's not because I am too busy to write one, but rather it's because I am lacking some interesting things to even attempt one. But it's almost the end of the month, so I decided to write one regardless.

So, one thing was unexpected. Our Midnight Rave T-shirts are selling a lot better than I have originally anticipated. One of our member, Kevin Qiu, designed the shirt. With the original price set at 20 dollars each, I often receive complaints about the price. However, with a one dollar profit per shirt at 20 bucks a piece, it is really hard to lower it even further. However, with much negotiation, the price of the shirt has been lowered to 15 dollars each. Since then, we have about 20 orders.

Apparently Midnight Rave is far from being done for the school year. We have about three performances left, maybe four if we are eligible to compete in a coming up breakdancing competition in March in a random school. With the coming up pep rally, the group is now making another round of effort to perfect our techniques and mentalities. Last time ended in a disaster, so we hope to not have any mishap occurs this time around. Thankfully, we r only dancing this time. So no glowsticks are going to be cracked.

With ethnic fair being our last official performance, the group is also making an effort to further expand our experiences with weapons. We plan to make a legitimate choreographed fight scene, but that is only doable if we accustom ourselves with the pain and experiences required. So this is another thing to look forward to.

Now, onto something more academic. I have heard from Urbana Champaign and I have been accepted. However, it is not the major which I intended to study in college. With that being said, I am having some thoughts about going there. Currently, my choice may be to go to Purdue for one year and if I still want to go to U of I, I will transfer to the school. I really don't know what to make out of it. But I really feel like I could've done a lot better than this. Ah well, just gotta wait to hear from other schools like Cornell now.

As the end of the year starts to approach, I can't help but ponders on my high school career. There are things that I cherish; there are things that I regret; there are things that I wish to remember vividly forever; and there are things that I wish to forget. This has really been a roller coaster ride. It saddens me that it's going to end in 3 months of time, but I am also excited to embrace the brand new chapter of my life: College.
