Ok, so I lied....I'm updating the xanga....No not to whine or to tell me life story...just to explain something.....I put up my livejournal link about 3 weeks ago, and got such comments that I'm too personal on it....well It's personal, beacuse it is a JOURNAL....So if you don't like it, you don't have to read it...No one is holding you eyes open and making you read my entries....Some people have asked me why I taken the link down and want me to put it back up...so by popular demand I will. BUT if you read something you don't like....terrfic, leave me a comment....we'll debate. Why else am I at John Jay? I don't seem to know either....

well here is it..... Live Journal so Kicks Xanga's ass

Love peace and chickengrease

Well well well, This is going to be one hell of a long entry.

So where should I start? How about Friday which was my first day of classes...or should I say class? So I walk into my speech class and to my suprise we have a sub because my professor had a baby....wow. The sub says she'll be back next Friday and he gives us a brief review what this class will be about. Now he gives this assignment where we have to interview a person in our class then say it infront of the class. I met these 2 cool chicks who are both from Queens, so that's refreshing. The class is 3 hours long, but the sub didn't keep us there that long, but he did assign us homework.

So my first day wasn't so scary....the weekend flew by as usual and right back for my second day of classes Monday. Yesterday I had English 101 and 2:00, and man o man....was that an adventure. The teacher was pretty cool and laid back and told us to call him by his first name "John" so we were doing this excersize were we had to say everyones name in the class, well I guess it was too much for this kid sitting in the back and all of a sudden he starts having a Epileptic Seizure! My professor goes running over to the kid and holds his head and moves all the chairs away from him. Now the kid is like shaking for a good five minutes. Then he finally calms down and gains consciousness and I guess had no idea what happened and starts flipping out cursing at the teacher and starts swinging at him.....wow. So secrurity and an ambulence come and take the kid to the hospital. Wow, now the kid NEVER had this happened to him before. So the only reasons he had this was because A) too many drugs or B) He suffered a hard blow to his head. Can this start happening to a kid at 18? Wow, that's crazy. Now I'm horrible with stuff like that and I was ready to throw up and cry. The professor tries to calm down the class, and he lets out alittle early.

So off to my next class, my race and ethics class. I walked in there expecting to be the only white kid....well I was wrong...there was 2 other white kids. My professor is cool though. We have to write an autobiography about ourselves...no biggie.

Wow, my teacher is absent the 1st day, now a kid has a seizure in my class the second.....What should I expect today?

So I didn't think things could get any worse....but of course I was wrong. Gerson calls me and says we need to talk. So he comes over and as of most of you know we were on a "break" for the last three weeks. Now you are probaly asking yourself why? And there are many reason, but I don't wanna get into that. So of course "this talk" couldn't be could, and I guessed it....he was getting impatient and I don't blame him. Yet I don't think I'm ready for a relationship. So we called things off....yea, for the second time. I hope we can still be friends, but you know how "friends with an ex" goes.

Last night I couldn't sleep between the Epileptic kid and my talk with Gerson. I kept thinking about both, and I couldn't get my mind off either, and I would force myself to think about the epileptic kid cause even though that scared the shit outta me, the break up is worse.

Well I got my first day of my Math and Psych classes today. Hopefully no one will die in my classes.

Alright well I'm gunna go get ready for school, my third day and I don't wanna go, that's not a good sign huh?

Love Peace and Chickengrease

Hey hey....whats poppin'? I can't believe it, I'm atcually updating twice this week!  

Well today was another long day. I had orientation at John Jay from 10 this morning to 3. I ran into this kid Fred who went to Forest Hills, and I was talking to him most of the day. First I went on tour of the school. There are 3 buildings and I'm going to get very lost.   So after the tour and walking around like crazy I finally manage to sit down. There was different activities all at once. First I checked out this class where these kids who go to John Jay where talking about what to expect and how it's different from High School, and blah blah blah....After that class I got kinda worried because I can't fail any classes and I don't want working to risk that.....

After feeling very confused I head over to this Forensics Psychology class which is similar to my major which is criminology. That was very boring and didn't pay much attention.....hopefully I still wont feel that way once school starts. hmpf...it's 2 o'clock by now and I'm getting very irrated/hot/bored/tired and hungry so I check out one more class which was "John Jay Jeopardy" I lost, but hey I got a free mousepad  After that, I was so drained....mentally and psychically, so I just walked around for alittle then hopped on the train and headed back to Queens.

Tonight should be fun. Chillin with Jenn. That's always an adventure.   Tomorrow I got work all day so I can't be too tired or messed up....

Thursday I plan on going to the beach again. I went on Monday. Tried desperatly to get a tan, then came to the conclusion that I'm just too white.

Friday and Saturday night I have work along with Sunday afternoon. I'm gunna have to cut working to like 3 shifts a week. Whatever, Vito even said it "School comes first"

Wow Friday is my first day of classes..

Alright, well I'm gunna go eat, mom made spaggetti!

Well let me start this entry by stating that I'm alive. I had a rough past 2 weeks full of confusion and depression. I just couldn't deal with all this change around me...some good and some bad....I needed to clear out my head....I still need more time, but I think I'm better now.

So let me start off with yesterday cause It was.....Wow, a long day.  I had to registar for my classes at John Jay. I got there around 11:30 ish. First I had to hand in my diploma to prove I graduated High School. Then I head over to register for my classes and see if I passed my math test. I find out all the classes are booked up, and the earliest classes they have is 2:00 which blows because I wont be getting outta there until 5. So I have a advisor help me, pick a major(criminology), and I find out I passed my math test  , not only that, but I actually did well on it and I'm ranked for math 104 . So Mon and Wednesday I'm taking english 101 at 1:55-3:10 then Race and ethics of America from 3:35-4:50. Then Tuesday and Thursday I'm talking Math at 1:55-3:10 then Psychology 101 at 3:35-4:50. Friday I only have one class, Speech communications....but It's 3 hours long...12:30-3:15.  

So I'm taking 5 classes, 3 credits each which is 15 credits this semester. After getting all my classes, I paid for my first semester of classes, then got my books. It was line after line after line. Finally I was finished, or so i thought. I was ready to leave but you need to get an ID card. 3 hours of waiting in line to take a picture. I didn't get home till like 7...I was wrecked. So came home watched Freaky Friday, then fell asleep.

...My orientation is this Tuesday. Hopefully It won't be that bad. I met a few people there and know 5 people going there. Manny, Becca, Helena, Eric (kid from Cinemart) and this girl whose name I forgot but she's a tutor in math, so that's awesome. My first day of classes is this Friday the 27th. I'm nervous, but excited too.

Now the only thing I'm kinda nervous about is telling my boss about my scheducle. Even though I had no control over it what so ever, I know he's gunna flip out. There's no way I could work, except for weekends and I really don't wanna do that. I've been doing that for the last 3 years....I wanna finally have a life....and not worrying about rushing to work. I don't want my life to be be school Mon-Fri then work Sat and Sundays. That doesn't sound fun. So I'm gunna stick it out for alittle bit until it dies down, then I'll leave. There's no way I'm gunna balance 5 classes and work. It was hard enough in High School.

I also took a flyer for the softball team. I saw a picture and man these girls are HUGE.  I don't think I'll try out this year...maybe next year.

Well I guess that basically it. Just getting ready for college (got a new computer for my room) Still need to get new furniture, but everything is coming along I guess.

Man I can't believe summer is almost over. I really did nothing this summer. I worked my ass off and went to school. Even though I made a lot of money, I still just wanted to chill and have fun....whatever. You can't always get what you want.

Well I guess I'm gunna go. Gotta call Eddies to see if I'm working tonight. Terrific. I need a vacation.

Peace out cub scouts.
