Soooo i haven't posted anything on here like all summer... Not much has happened this summer. I took 3 classes. I got an A in my Political Science class, and A in my Anthropology class, and a B in my Statistics class. I'm not very happy about the B but whatever.
I got a job at school that I will start probably on the 25th. I'll be taking notes for students with disabilities. My schedule for classes this semester is all tuesday thursday classes, so I will probably work and do a show on mondays wednesdays and maybe fridays. This semester I'm taking Mass media, Social Dance, Physical Geography (and the lab bleh), and Sociology. And thats all for community college. I'm turning 18, I'm getting my AA. I'm moving out. All of that in a few months... Scares the buhjeeby out of me, but I'm also really excited.
On Wednesday, Gabe and I are flying out to see my mom... He's never met anybody over there, so I'm nervous and excited. Thursday is his birthday, he'll be 19 :]. He's made a lot of good changes since we first met. I'm really proud of him. He always works really hard. The ticket was his birthday present from me. We will be there for a week, and we are going down to DC up to New York, and all over the place. It's his first time past Texas and on a trip with out his parents, so we are gunna try and have as much fun as possible. lol. We'll see how this goes.

Oh Darlin! Please believe me. I'd never do you no harm.

Sooooo not much goin on, I'm done with this semester I'm in Bel Air visiting my mom and all is well. I'm kinda bored so I'm doing LaShawn's blog thingy.

10 years ago:
I was 7 years old, just getting out of second grade at St. Anne's Catholic School in Sacramento,CA. I don't really remember much else, except on dec 28th of that year my mother and I moved to St.Croix.

8 years ago:
I was 9 years old and going to St. Mary's Catholic School in St. Croix. I was in 4th grade. My teacher was Ms. Steele. She got pregnant in the middle of the school year and she had her nose pierced. I thought that was pretty cool. One thing I distinctly remember is her taking us out into the courtyard and having us look up and see if we could name the type of clouds we saw. At that point I had a huge crush on this 6th grader named Jean Pierre. He was from Canada, and his mom was the lunch lady at school he had an older brother in 8th grade whose name I can't remember but it was uber French too. J.P. (thats what we called him) was one of my best friends, and he introduced me to N'sync. For the talent show that year J.P., my friend Lauren Bigsbee, and I lipsynced and created a dance routine to the N'sync song "Bye, Bye, Bye". I also dressed up and sang "Don't Cry For Me Argentina" from Evita. Bobby came to watch me in the talent show and won a raffle. my mom was at home sick because she got food poisoning from KFC. (In St. Croix you have two fast food options KFC or McDonalds both were toxic to health beyond normal). After that school year, my mom and Bobby that we should move and we moved to Wilmington, NC.

5 years ago:
I was 12, and went to St. Mary's Catholic School in Wilmington, NC. I was in 7th grade. Lauren McAree and Andrew Marhefka were (and still are) my best friends. That school year I got my first C on a report card ever. It was in math, pre-algebra. That sucked. at the end of that school year, my mom and I moved to Durham and Bobby moved to Delaware. Lauren moved to MD. Andrew stayed in wilmington. That year I started 8th grade. It was the first year I ever went to public school. It was Brogden Middle School. It was there that I got my first real boyfriend. His name was Edgar Hernandez. We "dated" for a whole entire full 2 weeks (ha!) He was my first kiss. It was gross, I was in shock, it was totally unexpected. I was walking out of school because I had after school tutoring (for algebra one go figure)and he caught me as I was in the front hallway and kissed me. I think I threw up a little. lol. After him I had many other boyfriends because it was the first time I'd had any type of male attention. 8th grade was over all pretty awesome, except for edgar *gag*.

Alice in Wonderland pictures

I won't be the one to leave this in pieces

soooooooo its 11pm and i have nothing to do really... sooooo im blogging.ummmm nothing much has happened this week. sunday night i stayed up hella late to finish my english homework, and then i have to get up at 5am the next day so that I can get to english on time, because I have to take 3 buses and the lightrail to get 4 miles down the street... its rediculous. but yes back to the story so i do all of that, get to school half an hour early, sit for a half an hour... at 7:31 the lady comes and puts a class canceled sign on the door. im like O.O i could still be in bed right now.... dang... then i came home and got all excited cuz I got to see pictures of little mr. shultz... LaShawn's son is adorable. I get way too excited about new babies. lol. Tuesday in journalism we watched Barack Obama's speech about the racial issue in the US and his pastor. It was amazing. I felt like I was actually witnessing something similar to the I have a dream speech. It definatley let me know what kind of person Obama is, and I found that I really can relate to him in lots of ways. He said a lot of things similar to what I say when I go on my random ignorant black people rants (which i feel the need to go on often, because sadly many people of our culture in my age group go around acting a fool in circumstances where they need to pull up their pants and stop playing the victim). if i had the ability to vote, I think i really would vote for Obama. I'm not sure how I feel about having to make that big of a decision for this country though... It's like a huge responsibility, and I kind of feel like, all of the candidates could be wonderful people, but even the best people make bad decisions sometimes... its like they are wonderful now, but next time a disaster like 9/11 happens, what decision will they make? And will it be the right decision? Every great empire has its down fall, I kind of feel like this is ours. I mean seriously its like all progress of becoming better in our country has come to its peak and is slowly sliding back down into oblivion. Its like Obama makes that beautiful speech barely a week ago and we are focusing on that stupidness on a vogue cover. I can't stand it. Thomas says i'm idealistic, but why can't everything be okay? why cant everyone just help each other and be peaceful and act like they have good sense and stay out of everyone else's business and not be sadistic jerks? Wouldn't it make everything much easier? I dunno i think I am going to leave it at that.
I've been meaning to do this... for a while my blog titles have been lyrics and just incase ur interesred I wanted to list the titles of the songs:
"I wont be the one to leave this in pieces"- In Pieces by Linkin Park
"So darken your clothes and strike a violent pose maybe theyll leave you alone but not me"- Teenagers by My Chemical Romance
"When your a Jet your a Jet all the way"- Jet Song from West Side Story
"Yeah Ill tell you something I think youll understand"- I wanna hold your hand by The Beatles
"Will you be the savior of the broken"-The Black Parade by My Chemical Romance
"It don't make any difference to me what the world thinks about us baby"- It Dont Make Any Difference by Kevin Michael
"I'm Ms. American dream since i was seventeen"-Piece of Me by Britney Spears
"When the rain is pouring dooooown"- No One by Alicia Keys
"But my smile still stays on"- The Show Must Go On by Queen
"Lets do the time warp agaaaaain!"- Time Warp from Rocky Horror Picture Show

from now on I will be putting the song title and performer at the end of my posts so i don't have to make a list like this :] all of those songs good songs if you are ever looking for new music :] peace out folks

So Darken your clothes and strike a violent pose, maybe they'll leave you alone but not me

Soooooo Spring break...I have done a lot of nothing, yet it seems that I have been quite productive. I have turned in six applications for different student assitant positions with various departments of the state government. And i have decided where I want to go with my career. I would really like to do public relations. It makes good money, the position is always in demand, its working wiht the media, its a little bit of writing, and I can easily have a semi-large family with out major complications with my job. I think its pretty perfect. So the moving out date is getting pushed back due to parental interference. I really want this to be a happy supportive family type of step for me so I'm waiting until they are ready to be supportive. I would most likely be moving in with Gabe. Thomas is opposed to it, but my mother and my grandfather seem to have very few issues with it. Thomas has this thing where he feels my virtue needs to be protected, which is nice and all, but its like wow I'm not used to that. My mother has been arguing with the christian group that comes for bible study on fridays. She apparently was upset that out of 12 part series 2 parts are spent on explaining whats wrong with evolution. She said she doesnt want to be the stuck up creationalist gay bashing christian that gives people the impression that christians are crazy. She said all god wanted was for people to believe in him and be the best they can be. I am very proud of her.. she sounds like me hahaha. well today I went to the mall with my little cousin, Kenneth and his god brother, Savion. We went to go see Horton Hears a Who which was okay, not all that everyone said it was. I have some advice for you... never take an eleven and a seven year old boy to the mall and walk around for two hours... you will end up really really annoyed. tomorrow I'm going to the mall again only with my friends. I have some homework I need to do but I'll get to it before monday I think. sooo yeah i think thats all for now folks.

When your a Jet you're a Jet all the way

Sooooo its been about a month since I have written anything on here. I'm not suuuuure where to start... I have been going crazy with my schedule which has been very repetative lately.... alice rehearsal choir rehearsal homework ensamble rehearsal alice rehearsal homework class class class alice rehearsal ensamble rehearsal... lol you get my point. I have also been job searching and writing for writing contests and filling out scholarship stuff. I'm going all out on a money search.
My boyfriend and I are contemplating moving into this cool apartment complex that is a college living setting. It costs like $610 a month and you have your own bedroom and bathroom, but share a living room kitchen and laundry room with one other person. Our friends live there already, so we know who we would be sharing with and we are going to go look at the place tomorrow between my alice in wonderland show (second week open) and my choir/ensamble show.
I have been getting irratated wiht some of my teachers lately... they seem to expect me to want to stay over the alotted class time, just because they think their class is more important thatn any of my other classes and that I have nothing better to do than hear them repeat what the assignment is for the fourth time in an hour and a half. its rediculous. I feel like i'm considerate of your time by not disrupting your class, be considerate of my time, by letting me go on time. many of my classes are literally 10 minutes apart, I can't miss the beginning of one class because the teacher before that one feels that college students cant read the board and figure out their assignment. JEEEEESH! well yes... I know I'm being a bit anal but if you take up my day from 7am-1pm and then expect me to stay through half of my 30 minute break which is my only chance to eat till 5.... expect me to be a bit frustrated.
Well I have to go get ready for my choir/ensamble concert... i need some hair cye desperatley.... also a shower... well hopefully in a few weeks ill have more time to blog and i will be less frustrated.
