Apocalypse 411

My pathetic life

  • High school graduation

    High school graduation
    For my graduation, I hope to have an overall GPA of 3.0 or above, which is what everyone in my family suggests that you should have. I also hope to have a decent car and have already paid for braces by selling cows and working at Cal Sandine's cement mixing farm (or whatever you would call it). I hope to have an extra $1500-$2500 in the bank.
  • Attending college

    Attending college
    For college, I will probably go to one of the biggest nerd schools in the USA, possibly in the world. This is the School of Mines. My brother is attending there to become an industrial engineer. It sounds awesome. The one downside of living in Rapid City is the constant fear of being attacked. Not joking. As a safety precaution, the majority of the people living there, including my brother, carry some type of weapon at all times.
  • Art

    Art
    By this time, I want to be able to draw something, anything. Literally everyone in my family is good at some type of art except for Thomas and I. I want to change that. I have been drawing a lot more recently and hope to work on it everyday over the summer. I am starting out with cheap, regular colored pencils, but maybe one day I will be able to use expensive, fine-edged colored pencils for detailed art.
  • College graduation

    College graduation
    For my college graduation, I would like to do exactly as my brother Bryan will be doing in about two weeks, nothing. The total cost will be about $42,000. I hope to have an overall GPA of 3.0 or above. I hope that my whole family will be there, even the ones I don't get along with because I had to go to thiers.
  • MOVING

    MOVING
    I shall move out of Rapid City as soon as I have to move out of my apartment. I will be moving to either Astoria, OR or Olympia, WA. The only reason why I won't live in Oregon is because there are no places that will hire computer hardware engineers (sadly).
  • Computer hardware engineering

    Computer hardware engineering
    I will start working by the end of my summer break. I may start working before that though. My job will be extremely stressful, but I guess the money will make it worth it. Most of the money I make will be used to help my brother James create nature reserves, wildlife conservations, and parks.
  • Nature reserve

    Nature reserve
    By this time, my brother James and I hope to have bought all of our parents and aunts/uncles land around where I live currently and turn it over to The Nature Conservancy.
  • Retirement

    Retirement
    I will probably retire at a very old age because I will give away most of what I earn. There is not much else to say except that there is always the chance that I die before this, but thats just me being optimistic.
