They're pretty much awesome. If you like their stuff and want to support a talented bunch of young, struggling, starving (haha) artists, then buy their CD, Runways, when it comes out on March 2nd. And if you want to help me support them, then buy one for me too. J/k, I joke. They also have a list of concert dates...nothing happening in NorCal but a couple gigs in Socal. A bunch on the East Coast, but I don't think that concerns any of my blog readers. And no, they're not a Christian band. They're all Christian guys, but they don't play Christian music.

I was talking to my friend today about Haverford...I just realized that people here talk about the dynamics of our school a lot, a freaking lot...anyways we were basically just talking about how everyone here works really hard. And that may seem like a retarded statement to make because well my school isn't a dumb school so why wouldn't we work hard? I mean, the kids here are smart. But really more than that, everyone here works hard, often overachieves (which can be annoying but I might possibly fall in this category some of the time so I can't hate), and does a ridiculous amount of activities also. We're not a school where everyone is smart without trying. People work hard to get where they're at, and they're sincerely dedicated to everything they do. And when the presidential candidates came to meet our community, every single one of them touched on that point. They all talked about how Haverford is very well respected outside our community and that we're known/valued for being hard workers, and I'm not saying that to be cocky, but it's something the students here don't really think about and don't really know either.

Last year I often wondered wtheck I was doing here. Why did they let me in? I've always found it a little frustrating when people who don't do ANYTHING at all still excel in everything they do. And of course good for them, they're talented people, but at the same time there's still a feeling of injustice...like why do I have to do ten times as much work for the same result. But thinking about this now I know that even if I could do the minimum to get the desired result, I wouldn't. I'd work my butt off. This is why I can't do pass/fail classes because even if I took a class p/f I wouldn't work any less hard or be any less concerned...I'd still work as if I was trying to get a 4.0. I think I like working hard. I guess a lot of people equivocate that with being under constant stress and are always telling me to chill or take a break. Which I probably should do more often, but it's really not so bad. I'm quite okay with the way I am =]. Now I see it's a good thing I'm not naturally good at everything, otherwise I don't think I could live with myself and might have to throw myself off of a cliff so a Taco Bell truck can run me over.

Anywho. I'm done with that now. I'm going to do hw. hahahaha how many of my entries do I end with "I'm going to do work now." Probably like a gajillion-million huh?
