Speeding Tickets, Ugh!

So last week I had a visitor come up and see Pullman and see me and Spencer. Well on the way home, I got a nice fat speeding ticket ($154) in a town that has a grand total of 5 police officers. It's been about 4 years since I got my last speeding ticket, and that price is the reason why. There was a little stretch where I got a speeding ticket each year. I'm basically giving the police department $154 and got nothing for it. So, is going 46 in a 35 worth it, not really.

As far as school goes, it's actually been kind of slow since Spring Break, which is really nice. I've been able to get a lot of work done and get started on my study plan for the cores. 9 weeks to go, and I haven't really started studying. Eek! I guess I'll start soon enough.

Oh! And I went biking on the Chipman Palouse Trail! It's a really nice trail, and I think I'll be hitting that path more often:

One Small Step at a Time

I've always jokingly mused that I would love to have my name plastered all of Sam Houston State University. Today I have moved a few steps closer to be all over campus. My friend Ashton informed me that my photograph was on the front page of the SHSU website. I also was told by the advisor for Omicrom Epsilon Delta that they would be sending me an invitation for membership into the International Economics Honor Society. This, coupled with the past couple weeks of joining Orange Key and becoming a College of Business Ambassador, has been a good month overall.

Yay!

This Isn't the First Day of Being an Overachiever

o·ver·a·chieve

To perform better or achieve more success than expected.

So, this is definitely not the first day that I've realized I'm an overachiever. I think I might have realized this when I was a freshman in college. The only reason I recognized my "disorder" is because I wasn't involved in any activities my freshman year. You may hear me refer to being an overachiever as a disorder, but in truth, occasionally I see it as valuable, while other times I see it as a disorder, but I digress:

Just a brief list of activities in High School:
Debate (3 years), Public Speaking (3 years), Computer Applications (1 year), Football (4 years), Soccer (3 years), Track (1 year), Student Council (3 years), National Honor Society (2 years), Spanish Club (1 year). I also took AP classes all four years of HS and worked a steady part time job on the weekends and after football practice for 2.5 years. And I was officers in the majority of the clubs. And had different girlfriends for various lengths of time.

Needless to say, I had a rather full resume. I'm a classic overachiever in the sense. I do too much with too little time. So I took a little hiatus, a sabbatical if you will. I dropped out of different activities and just stuck with work. But now, oh nay nay. And here's the college list, it's a combination of last year and this upcoming year (assuming my position will remain unchanged):

Honors Students Advisory Council Vice President
Spivey House Council Vice President
Alpha Chi Honor Society Member
Golden Keys International Honour Society
Campus Caller (job)
Economics and Business Analysis tutor (job)

So it doesn't look that full (it really is), but I'm also considering:

Orange Keys (SHSU Ambassadors)
College of Business Ambassadors
Student Regency (for 2009)

Annnd... i've made the Dean's List (>3.5) every semester and the President's List (4.0) for the past year and a half. I have a 3.89 GPA and I will literally freak out if I get another B. Oh, school wise... I'm a double major in Economics and Management with a minor in Entrepreneurship. I want to get my MBA after I graduate and then proceed to get my Doctorate in Economics.

I know, I go way overboard way too often. Enough about me for one day. This is just the start of my crazy overachieving life.
