Give me some regularity for me to turn it into extraordinary

1. Only recently have I been pondering the date of my birth, in terms of how early or late in the year, and I have concluded that it is, for me, optimum. Being born in the first half of the year means that, while I may not be the youngest soul around in my year, I am still some way into my batch, and 1990 already means I've got time on my side where most things are concerned. Also, it is early enough when it matters, like turning 18 last year when the real regular visits to watering holes began, and I was entirely legal, as I will be again when I turn 21.

2. There once was a boy who entered his second real employment seeking the idealism of professionalism. He laboured hard to project this perfect image which everyone who mattered took notice of, even the man whom everyone didn't want to have to deal with. This boy didn't care, because he had earned a position as respected colleague. There came a circumstance that was not meant to be an issue or matter of much complexity or conflict. The man, however, seemed not to realize that this boy was in the right not just subjectively but by every definition of the word. This boy thus caucused with his parents and, after Commitment, made plans and alliances that were not like a wall that collapses suddenly, in an instant; it rattled the man, and should make this boy's eventual aim that much easier to obtain, which really should have been no problem in the first place if not for this immovable, obstinate object in his way. This boy would also like to mention that the man is juvenile, even pretending not to be there so as to ignore a perfectly legitimate phone call.

3. I have long spoken of backups when it comes to education, and I now have 2. The first is the local option under my scholarship agency's sponsorship. The second is the overseas option, without having to go through any other application process, in the UK, where there is a confirmed place in October 2010 waiting. I tried the same appeal technique with Oxford, with no luck, expectedly; I'm thinking of doing the same with the other 7 Unis, but it might be a little late considering it is, gasp, already June.

4. This last point was meant to be the confessions post; I'm not sure that I've got the exact words in my head just yet, so watch this space. Point #2 was a little preview, but barely.
