Wow it is weird how fast this month went by, it is already February. This month has been a long month for me because a lot went on during this month but it wont happen again. today was a good way to end the month with 60 degree weather and a slight breeze to top it off. It is just crazy that this is still the winter time and its already 60 degrees. Im really gonna hate to see the summer time and the heat thats going to come with it. I hope everyboy had a good day today.

In AVID we had an in depth discussion of The Hunger Games aand how it relates to the media and how things are today.  Its wierd becaus eeverytime we have an in depth dicussion everyone gets so serious and gives some valid points to the discussion.  This discussion was the best one if I do say so myself.  The points that people had were very valid and made people think about what they were going to say before it was said.  I honestly dont think that the book really was supposed to make us think as deep as we did today but it happens.  We went from the hunger games to the death penalty back to the hunger games to the media.  It was an ongoing discussion until Mr. Carney felt the need to give us a quiz on the book after we were coming in for lunch. But hey, its ok and I almost forgot, we also started our "Farcebook" pages for the characters in the Hunger Games.  I have Ceaser Flickerman who is the reporter so my "Farcebook" should be fairly easy to complete.

Today in AVID we learned about some activities that we will be completing involving The Hunger Games.  In class we all received characters from main characters to subsiding characters such as Katniss and some of the Tributes.  The assignment is to create a Facebook page for the characters and we have to use the facebook to talk through them as if we were in there shoes in the book.  We have to make wall post pertaining to the character like for Petta and Katniss they would be friendly but competitive because they are fighting for survival.  My character happened to be Ceaser Flickerman who is the reporter of the town, so my facebook post will most likely pertain to the reaping on the television.  This activity seem like it should be interesting and I cant wait to start it.

What to talk about, what to talk about, what to talk about????????????

          I know what I could start with and thats my day,  it was actually good and it was very fast paced and interesting.  Besides the fact that i had to take my final in health and that I was cold all throughout the day.  Also the fact that I need to get those papers put in my binder for AVID so I can get my grade in line ASAP.  I also got some great news today in art class. Today i found out that one of my drawings, well my epic drawing to be exact was placed in an art show and it is traveling but to bad I didnt snap a picture of it before it got sent out :(. I really don't anything exciting to tell any of you guys about -shrugs- maybe next time.

The video above is what I drew for my epic painting

Its Martin Luther-King day and I am glad that we had someone like him to change the world not just for African American's but for everyone in the US. I didnt have a chance to go to the parade which is a yearly thing because I had to work today which was ver hectic. It was only four of us working with a copious amount of customers and then on top of that the gas stopped working and the phones cut off. We didnt have any customers for about a hour which was good because I took my break and had a little bit of extra time to do the fact of not having customers. So yesterday was a hard working day because everybody had to do something extra than usual but its going to look good for reviews from my managers.

Today had to be on of the MOST boring days I have had at school in a longggg time. Nothing really happened in school today nothing exciting at all I really didnt feel the whole school thing today to be completely honest. All I kept hearing all day was "Im so tired" all day. It just made me tired to hear everyone else say they were tired. just get some rest and everyone will be fine.

Today was a well put together day that was not that bad actually, the only thing I didnt like was the fact that it was a B-day which I despise. Its just something about B-days that make me not want to come to school at all. But besides that my day was very well and I had fun tonight because I was on Oovoo with some friends and we had a good time just laughing about things. But I need to start going to sleep earlier on the week days because i am always tired. I could barely stay up in school today, I kept fading in and out during classes so I really need to go to sleep earlier.

1-4-11 Toast For Change

    When I think of the word "change" so many things come to mind that I wish I could change such as my self esteem/motivation, the choices that I make and make financial issues that are going on around me.

     I have a low self-esteem and I set low standards for myself on a regular basis. I give up easily, I say I am I can't and I won't do things, and I always thought thought that I would never be successful. All of this truly started to turn around for me when I got into the seven schools that I applied to and two of them happened to be my top two school selections. In all honesty all I could do was cry tears of joy and thank god for the road that he is taking bringing me on. I am just happy that colleges actually want me on their campuses.

    Financial issues are another problem that is currently major in my life right now. I honestly have not seen neither of my parentes struggle before like I am watching them do now. With all of the things financially that is occuring, I really don't want to go out of town for college for the sake of saving. But my mom is encourage me to go to expirence different things and don't let home issues bind me into staying in Maryland. This whole sitution is going to become a learning expirience to finally realize that I cant let the bad things influence the good in my life.

     So in 2012, I will have self-confidence, I will have self-determination and motivation, I will get to college and live my dreams, and  I will make my parents and family proud of me. this is my year to show what Ive got and  shine bright

This is the last day we have off on this winter break and I wanted to spend it resting but I cant just do that all day. So around midday I went to get something to eat with my father at Cracker Barrel who has the best pancakes I have ever had. I highly recommend them to anyone that is willing to try their food. After diner we visited my Grandfather in the Hospital because he has pneumonia and something going on with his stomach. He is doing alot better than when he went in and I am happy to see him getting better. Hopefully he should be out by Friday.

Today was a very long and dull day because in all honesty I did not want to be in school at all. I was hoping for snow the night before so I could get one more day of resting but I cant get everything that I want. Today I had an effective day and I think that it went pretty fast for me actually, it seemed like classes zoomed pass and my day was over quicker than I expected. I am just glad to go home and lay down finally because I truely am Tired
