one of those nights.

13/12/25.

it’s one of those nights.

i realize that the intense focus on the service academies is almost over.

just finished a congressional nomination interview.

idk if i’ll git it; i got a 60/40 chance imo after it.

could’ve prepared to respond to the “why you over others?” question more effectively, mentioned earlier that my main reason for a service academy is the brotherhood one rarely finds in the startup world, and when i asked my question, i made the mistake of asking someone who did not serve, maybe they thought i didn’t pay attention or i forgot.

either way, no time to worry about that.

the past is the past.

i won’t know if i’ll get nominated till either dec 31, ‘25 or jan 31, ‘26.

now, i’m waking up from that sharp endeavor.

all i need to do is send some other paperwork and we wait for three or four months.

in the meantime, i’ll focus on work, my last classes, and exploring my unusual obsession with recyclables and microplastics.

idk if i should care but we’ll look into it.

i’m excited for monday; imma practice american football kicking w/ a d-1 recruit.

it’s crazy how preparing all my life kicking a soccer ball and just being at the right place at the right time gives me so much luck.

opportunity + preparation = luck.

grateful for the moments with others this year and to realize im a piece of shit sometimes.

need to fix myself; that’s okay.

i also found out i do care about money; jus’ that i love skills, people, autonomy, and variety.

i am ambitious, comfortable w/ adversity, strong memory, likes patterns, etc.

i got too many “be my lawyer/therapist” comments, so something to look into.

other than that, we march on.

i need to stretch, the hamstrings are tight.

monday will be the day i show what my legs can do in front of two former nfl players, a football team, and a d-1 recruit.

this gunna be fun.
