February 2.0 : A New Beginning?

Welcome back to Febuary, so in my previous post, I had alot of questions to be answered in my life. And since then, alot of answers have come back my way, and yet... now I have that many more decisions to make in life. In the short time... things are as normal, still taking advantage of the last semester of senior year, and starting to get sentimental about the good things about being an undergrad, and thinking about how the bad things about being a student, well are the things that i'll look back on in 5 years and miss. But the past week has been pretty exciting in the fact that I now know my options for the future of my education, and essentially the future of my life. I was accepted today to the University of Washington - Seattle, and last Monday to UCalifornia - Berkeley... the former being one of my fave destinations, and the latter being that dream school that I never knew I'd be accepted to.... So looking forward.... and I'm sure you're wondering... so paul, what are you going to do? At this point, I really have no idea, but at this point, I'm ok with that uncertainty... I am just really happy to know that I've been accepted to a masters program, and have a shot at doing what I love, or at least think that I like to do. I am trying to plan college visits within the next few weeks... and if those go well, well I just might be in Northern California next fall.

So that's it for now, I just wanted to throw down a quick update, nothing very witty, deep, or exciting, but damn it feels good to have that behind me!

Welcome to February ...




So since my last post, I should preface that being 23 isn't all that bad so far! It's been quite an exciting week. I've had a good bit of fraternity items of business that occured this past week, namely Regional Leadership Conference and then our own Georgia Tech initation, I guess from all of that, there was bound to be some type of release point... and that release point is what we call the post-initation social, and was the site of Paul Supawanich in his rarest form in the United States to date... so I will let you assume what you will from that statement, but let's just say that it's been a rough Sunday.



As far as everything else goes, I have turned in all of my grad applications, almost all of my scholarship applications, and have made my summer plans. So all in all, I've started the beginning of the rest of my life. Which is pretty fine by me, I am loving this thing they call senior year, and probably because I have my hands full in just the right amount of things, but still leaving plenty of time to get to know the younger crowds, learning to try many new things, and trying to stick with the goals that I laid out for myself over xmas break. So I just got my new turntables, they are Numark TT-1s, which is a far cry from the Technics 1200s that I would have liked, but still, for how good I am (not very), and for what I'm doing (screwing around for fun), it's a good match for me. I'm hoping to get to do some good jobs here in the upcoming months.

In other news, classes are fine, not quite as much fun as last semester, but I guess you can't always win at school, espically schools like Georgia Tech. But on top of the usual grind, I'm taking a personal training class, to hopefully become PT certified someday, and also trying out a handful of other new things (going to the kayak club meeting tomorrow), learning to use photoshop, and going to try to get the new ambassadors to socialize.

I'm also pretty pumped because of my travel plans for the next couple of months. Of course I place travel pretty high on the Supawanich priority totem pole... but here's the list (leading out for 6 months): March: Charleston, Savannah, Grand Canyon, Bryce N.P., Zion N.P., Stillwater, OK. April: nowhere May: Seattle, WA, Calgary,AL, Glacier N.P. May: Los Angeles... where I will be working the same UCLA program that I was last summer. Hopefully by that time, I'll have the rest of my life figured out a bit better than I know now..

goodnight for now.
