So Today I spent my day shopping with my mom, I wanted to get a couple of new things because I was in need of somethings.  After we went shopping we went out to eat at Moe's seafood in Glen Burnie.  I really don't have anything to talk about on this day.  But I had a wonderful day :)

Well everyone knows that today is Halloween, but to bad I don't celebrate it though but my little sisters love to dress up and join in the festivities of wearing costumes and trick or treating. Above is my 4 year old sister Makayla and she told me that she is a witch for Halloween.  She had a costume on at her daycare because they were asked to were them.  She had on her garish skirt and stockings with her little shoes, but where is the hat?  She did not have a hat on with her costume so I guess this is a new version of a witch that she came up with.  I had her to strike poses for her picture and I'm guessing this is her favorite pose because she does this same pose for every picture. Every time we say "Makayla Strike a pose" this is always her first resort and she will do it every other pose. You gotta love her though :)

Today was longgggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg and tiring.  I really did not do anything I had a test in first period, a project in second period, college research in third, and a project in fourth period.  Today was really tedious and lethargic because of the work that had to be completed today, nothing was interesting and nothing really caught my eye.  Now I'm waiting for my new phone to come in so I can get rid of this old broken phone that I have now.  This week has went by fast and I am ready for the weekend.

I had a good day today it was nice and informative, I learned alot today throughout my day in classes such as Human Geography, College Algebra, and Psychology.  I was tired and sluggish fior the most part but other than that My day was productive.  I really don't have nothing to write about today, I wish I did though.

Even though it was rainy and gloomy outside, I still had a good day.  Today was Breast Cancer Awareness day and I had on my "Support the Tatas" shirt to show that I support Breast Cancer awareness.  I don't have anybody in my family with breast cancer but I do have somebody close to me who has it so I am supporting Awareness for her.  My day was good and effective netherless of the weather and the gloominess

Today in AVID we watched a video of "ET the Hip-Hop Preacher" and it was called "Thank God Its Tuesday".  The video was supposed to be an inspirational video about how to get your Tuesday or your whole week align to make your life better and more successful.  "ET" had some valid statements that everyone should take into consideration they were Take Responsibility, Great people don't make excuses they make-up, Don't give up and Don't Quit, and lastly Without Struggle there's no progress.  It was weird because when he was saying these statements it felt like it was directed straight to me and it was like he was telling me to do these steps personally.  As a student, son, and a person I need to follow through with these steps throughout the rest of my life.  What I am going to do is Type these steps and post them up on the wall in my room so I can wake up every morning and know that I can make it through by following these steps and know that I can make my life better with these.  I am thankful that Dona showed us this video because I think it have effected me tremdously.

Today was long and tiring day, I just wanted to go home and lay down but i had work to accomplish.  When it comes to the work today was a breeze through except College Aalgebra.  We are learning something new and I have no clue what we are doing because it is a bunch of formulas and multi step equations that we had in Algebra 1 and 2 and I cant remember those classes because I took those in 8th and 9th grade.  We took notes so I'm guessing I could go off of that but it is just weird to pull up those archaic memories like that and expect all of us to remember them of the top of our heads.  So im glad we have coach class avaliable to us when we need it because thats where I'm heading.

I had a cool day today, nothing to exciting happened I woke up early and went out with my mother and that was about it really we went out Westminster mad we went to Friendly's.  For the most part it was a slow paced day nothing truly did happen for me to talk about. I did play 2k12 for the most of my evening that is exciting right??

I had a wonderful day today minus the fact that I only got 4 hours of sleep.  I woke up early for church today because today was my Cousin's Son's Christening service and we had to go to support him at the alter because we are his family and we have to show that we are there for him and his parents. But while we was at the alter he was really rowdy and crying because he had to much clothes on and he was hot and bothered but as soon as the preacher touched him he stopped.  The preacher said he had "the magic baby touch" ( lol ), but after the christening we went to my cousins house for dinner and desert and we sat back and watched the games until everyone was ready to go.  As a family we are blessed to welcome Cam Isaiah Carrington-Wright to the family.

Today is my day off and I have been on the computer all day looking at colleges and i even applied to Saint John's university in Queens New York. I have been trying to mess with my PlayStation all day because I took it to a place called Gadget Guru to get it fixed and it got worse so I'm going to take it back to them and they are going to have to fix it but this is my third time going over there this week and it is getting really annoying that I spend 100 to get it fixed and its still not fixed.  But minus that I had a doctors appointment and did some more of my homework, not a very exciting day but something to write about.

I had a long day today and I had a lot of work to do during this day It was as if all my classes had a new unit to teach and it was a hectic day to learn new things in every class in one day but I can handle it because I am going to push myself to do my work and get my grades up.  I had to do a lot of Homework also I have to do 60 note cards, College Algebra Homework, and Human Geo Homework.  It just a lot of work to do I was up till 11 doing homework last night but man I am glad that we don't have school tomorrow I get to sleep in.

Today I woke up early this morning and went to Crakerbarrel restaurant with my father and we had some of the best breakfast food that I have ever tasted in my life.  They have some of the most delicious pancakes that I have had in my life and there menu of foods is to die for.  Once we got finished from there I came home and completed my chores and then wnet outside for pick-up games of football and basketball with some kids around the neighborhood.  I eneded up bruising my arm to the point where it looks like another arm is growing out of my forearm but I know it would heal.  My day was kind of dull today but none the less I had a great day.

I had very good and productive day today,  I completed all my assignments and I stayed to myself today because I didnt feel like being bothered really by anyone.  I was tired throughout the day and I feel drained like I need to just get in the bed and go to sleep.  Today in AVID I completed my random act of kindness by helping Dona with her Wall of PSAT words from A to Z.  I helped Lamenate the words that the Avid 10 and or 11 put together and then we cut them out and posted them on the window in front of the library.  It should be helpful to those who are taking the PSAT on Wednesday. But one act of kindness isnt enough and I am planing on making Acts of kindness a habit.

I had a looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong day today.  School today felt like it lasted for a year and it was rigorous  today in College Algebra and AP Psych.  I had two tests in those classes and they had to be  two of the hardest tests I have ever taken in my life.  I even studied and I still was lost during the tests I swear I  need a tutor for both of those classes.  When I came home I went outside and played a pick-up game of football with my friends.

Today is my mothers Birthday and I am more excited than she is for her own birthday.  She views a birthday as just another day in the world and it is nothing to really be celebrated.  But me on the other hand view it to be a day were you celebrate like there is no tomorrow, but hey thats just me.  She didnt want a celebration or people to give her anything, she just wanted to go along with her normal scheduled day.  We eneded up going out any way to Loafers because thats where she wanted to go for her little dinner and we had a good time.  Once again Happy Birthday Mom Dukes!!!

I spent most of my day over my friend's house for his birthday weekend and then I spent the rest of my day with my mother.  We went to Towson mall to get out of the house and then we went to dinner with one of her friends at The Cheeesecake Factory.  The food was excellent and I love the restaurant because of the vibe that it gives off while eating.  We later came home and worked on job applications because i am in desperate need of a job and some extra money.  I put in 3 applications to DTLR, Wawa, and mars and I am anxiously waiting to receive a phone call for an interview soon. Wish me Luck :)

I did not come to school today because I had my first migraine in a while and I could not get rid of my headache.  I took Ibuprofen, Advil , and Tylenol  and I could not get rid of my headache but some rest got rid of the headache finally and i felt relieved. I also was able to send in my interim grades to Dona and Mr. Carney.  I also noticed that the House of Themis is in last after being in first -_____-.  We need to pick it up Themis!!!

So my mother wanted me to try something new because she says that I need to broaden my horizons when it comes to food.  So she took me to RA sushi restaurant. The restaurant gave off a benevolent vibe and showed a small look at the culture from Japan.  The menu was different with Funky names for the food and different flavors for it such as Las Vegas Rolls and California Rolls.  I still didnt try anything differnet and stuck to something I know I would like Chicken *lol. 
My mother had Crabs today from Blue Point Crab house today and she got a dozen and a half crabs for 36 dollars. I didnt touch any off the crabs because I am not a fan of them. I do not like the smell nor the taste and everytime I eat them I get my hands and fingers sliced.  I try my best to stay away from them.

I had an all around good day today, it was a very appealing and entertaining day. I had a lot of fun with my friends today because everyone was just funny to me today for some odd reason but besides that we had our second Socratic Seminar within our AVID houses on "A Hope in the Unseen".  I believe our house did a wonderful job on digging deeper into the text and fully analyzing every word and taking Cedric's events and using them to show how we would react to these situations.  I wish I could show the link to the video which is on the AVID wiki but it is currently not up on the site.

 (I couldnt take a picture while playing)


Today I spent my day at Route 40 Paintball for my friend Kamari's birthday. It was a very fun experience and I would refer it to anyone.  The only bad part about it was that the gun was jamming and that the face masks were not to  effective because of the eye protectors that continuously kept getting fogged up and smeared from all the paint.  Everybody makes paint-balling to seem as though it is worst then what it is but it doesn't hurt as much as people make it out to be.  The only thing that hurts is when the paintball does not explode on impact with your body.  I got shot in my hands, legs, and back and the only true lasting injury is a swollen pinky but besides all of that it was a joyous event.
