So I’m confused. I thought I lived in Texas… ya know, that state that’s supposed to be ungodly cook a egg on your sidewalk kind of hot? I guess not, cause it’s snowing again. I’m starting to think I’m back in Colorado, only I’m not snowboarding.. bummer.

Well, I’m fairly sure I’m headed back to Austin on Friday, because I am an official Longhorn! Hook ‘em! I’m accepted to the College of Communications as a Radio-Television-Film major; you know how I’m always talking about going into the Media Biz. Guess it’s happening because this college is pretty freaking legit. “the largest and most comprehensive communication college in the country. The College features nationally-recognized researchers in all five of its highly-ranked academic units and includes among its former students 18 Pulitzer Prize w…inners (three of whom have been awarded the prize twice).”

I’m pretty psyched.

I just got home form The New Valentines Day movie, and honestly, it wasn’t half-bad. Well, I got to thinking about it, and I really hate valentines day. I always have, even when I’m not all alone, like I am this year. I guess what I hate most about it is the idea of truely depending on someone else. So many people around me are so “in love” they forget how to live their own life. It really just bothers me, a lot. Well, I got to thinking about it, and I had a great night tonight with some friends, and I started remembering some previous Valentine’s days… Well, I remembered what I did Last Valentine’s…. without further ado.. one year ago tonight, this video was posted. We have all changed, a LOT, but we are all still best friends, and this video (for our blog) was what originally got me into blogging. Enjoy.

Brent & I are just killing some time, and giving Lauren a chane to study for her GRE exam. So, we took some pictures at Starbucks. If you are.. a facebook friend.. twitter follower.. blog reader… know me personally… anything at all you know that I’m taking senior pictures. Well, we just counted. & We’ve taken about 500 pictures… so it’s going to take us a while to upload the best. So, stay around, and keep checking back!

Dear faithful readers,

I’m very glad you decided to visit me today. If you are in hopes of another adventurous weekend with Mr. Rustin Charles, I’m sorry to disappoint. I’m going to be spending the large part of the weekend without leaving town.  In fact, I’m not even going to get out of my pajamas until at least 8 o clock. & that’s only if something sounds interesting enough to rip me out of my nerdy lifestyle.

So lets start with how the weekend kicked off. As soon as I got home at 3 on Friday, I passed out. I didn’t wake up till about 7:30. Man, did that mess up my circadian rhythm. So, I went and bought the entire first season of Glee. Now I know what your thinking, faithful reader; “But Rustin, your tweets have never said anything about liking glee.” Well, I bought it on a whim. In fact, I’ve never even seen an episode. So the adventure begins.

I called up the crew and we all got together for the first episode. I like. A lot. Well, I ended up staying awake till about 4:30 in the morning, just watching this show. Today, I’ve got to make up for the production I lost yesterday. So today is devoted to sweatpants, scholarships, and books. I’m going to do my best not to leave town, even though I would massacre small children for a Venti Iced White mocha, 4 pumps instead of 6, no whip.

Well, I suppose I should get started on these essay applications, but before I go I need you guy’s input on something. I’m going down to Austin, Texas to take my senior pictures, I want some killer ideas of places to go and things to do when I’m down there. So leave me some comment love and let me know, alright loves? See you tomorrow.

So this morning, my GAP group presented our project. I believe it went well, we had a few bumps, and left out a few things, but all-in-all it was a good mixture of information and entrainment. Now, all i have to do is write the essay and I’m done, I’m going to take tonight off and work on it tomorrow on account of I am sick of this freaking project. In other news, I’ve been looking at plane tickets for my spring break, and it’s only gonna cost me about 300 bucks to get to Seattle and back, not bad at all. I can’t wait to hit the slopes for the last time, till next winter break. I’m pretty excited to check out the Bungie workplace, too. Well, I should go get something done, I’ll write later, bye!

If you’ve been wondering why I haven’t posted in about a week or so, you’re about to find out. At good ole’ Henderson High, AP English IV Seniors have a special project known as GAP. If you’re a follower of mine on twitter, or my facebook friend, you know that basically every tweet in the past two weeks has “GAP” in it.

So what is GAP? Group Analysis Project.We get placed into groups and as a group we choose a book from the AP reading list. Then we have a few weeks to come up with an entertaining and informative, AP level 40 minute presentation that allows all watchers to understand the book, inside and out. Sound easy? Think again.

Lucky for me, I got a really good group of fun people in my group. Unfortunately for me, we get along so well, we sometimes forget to work. So, my whole life lately has been devoted to this project, why? Because it’s basically half of our grade, if not more.

So, I’m going to upload some of the videos I’ve been directing/editing when I get done with them for you guys to see. Oh I forgot to mention, each of us also have to turn in a 5 page critical essay. That part is not very fun, at all. In fact, I’ve got it open right now, and I’m going to return to it as soon as I finish this blog.

Oh, and I want to give a special shout out to Tiffany Hughes for letting me borrow the book “Witch & Wizard” by James Patterson which I read over the weekend. If you’re into fantasy fiction, you might enjoy it, but it’s an easy read, nothing super impressive. If any of you decide to read it, let me know what you think.
