I Swiped, Did You?

I didn't really feel like going to Math class this morning so I just stayed in bed. I stayed too late last night anyway to even think about getting up at 8.

As I tried to publicize, last night was the "Meal Swipes for the Homeless" that S.I.K presented. Honestly, I had to really stop myself from crying because the amount of care and just over all appreciation I have for everyone who donated was so touching. It is so beautiful to see people give and donate for people who don't have much of anything. I feel honored and greatful to be a part of an amzing group. Although I'm happy of the amount of people who participated, the one person who really deserves a round of applause is Brad. Brad isn't on the E-Board, nor is he apart of SA, he's just an ordinary freshman who wants to do good things with his life. Brad dressed up like a homeless person for us just so people could really get the message.

I was talking to him through the entire program and he told me he really felt like he was homeless. Some people would just walk by and stare. They didn't ask what the program was about or when they were approached they said they didn't want to donate. He told me that is was a realization for him. He finally sees what homeless people actually go through. I think that's something that everyone should experience atleast once.

Are You With Me?

For the most part I'm in a really good mood. I'm done for the day so I'm just chilaxin' in my room listening to music :)

I got my tests back yesterday from my classes. I got an A- (94) on my Afro-American Lit test and an A- on my American Politics Discussion Paper. I'm pretty happy with the results, although I think I deserved an A lol My Afro- American Professor is so grimmey ! He gave us computer paper to write out essays on and then took points off if your margins were straight. That's like almost impossible to do with no ruler and on paper with no lines but w/e. I found that pretty funny. Today I took an exam in American Politics. I think I did really well.

Last night/ this morning I was having one of the most amazing conversations with some of my suit mates, Jacques and these two other guys that came to visit that we know from the summer. We were talking about things that people don't even really think about, especially religion. I'm not really religious myself, so hearing him speak about it and tell us stories about his father in D.R. made me actually believen it more. He's a very intellectual guy, and I hope everyone gets to meet him. What ruined the moment was when our RD knocked on the door and claimed we were being too loud. Mind you, we weren't even being loud compared to night before. I honestly think that they get bored and just look to pick at the littest things but w/e. All I know is, I'm not paying for college for someone to tell me when to go to sleep. They say you become an adult when you go to college. Your on your own, no ones there to tell you what to do, but I find that completely exaggerated.

So this weekend is finally Homecomming ! GREAT DANES ALL THE WAY ! :)
I have no clue what I'm gonna do. My little brother wants to come visit, but I feel bad about blowing him off. Jacques trying to get me to go to Sneeky Petes (ha) we'll see how that goes. I'm definitely gonna go to the game on Saturday though.

I really want Veronica to come visit :(

That Was A Wet One

So today was such a lame day. It's weird that I'm complaining about not having classes today (lol). Work was a bore, as always. Jacques was been a jerk and wouldn't stay and keep me company but w/e.

Today I realized that the song that says and shows the way I've been feeling is "There's Gotta Be More to Life" by Stacie Orrico. Listen to it. It's old but pretty amazing.

Now I'm talking to my best friend in the whole wide world on the phone (veroniqua). I'm actually on the phone with her haha. She has made a blog, not by my force of course so check it out ! Her life as a engaged, hardworking, teen is pretty amazing only because she's Mexican. Lmao I am soo kidding.

Some kid named Steve Saunders just came in my room a let not one but 2 ripp. He's so gross, even Vero heard it.

The rest of the night I'm going to continure talking to Vero, finish my hw and chill. I know it will be fun.

:)

Ello There

Last night was pretty amazing. I went to Casajavi with Jacques, Chanti (my suitmate), Armani and Julius who are Jacques friends. Because Jacques just happens to be someone semi-important in Albany (lol), we got in for free and didn't have stand on that crazy line. In all honestly, the party was not that poppin' but for me, when I see people enjoying themselves it makes me feel like I am. I had fun, and that's all that really matters right? It was nice to get out, dress up and feel good for once. I think me going out last night made me think what I wanna do with my life. I wanna be that impact, that influence, that person that does good. I wanna see children in the worst parts of the world have things that we take for grantage. I don't wanna make change, I wanna be change in the sense that I am inevitable. Nothing can stop my drive or my dedication. This is with out a doubt, what I wanna do. Now the hardest part is, what the hell to major in?

I'm still a little angry that my mom's birthday present has still not been delivered. Never again will I order online!

Today we had a S.I.K meeting. We talked about our upcomming events, especially the Gospel Hip-Hop Fusion event. If all goes well with our dancers and performers, I think it'll be an amazing thing to attend. I hope everything goes according to plan. I really don't wanna have to cancel. We'll see how everything goes later.

Oh I forgot. I AM SERIOUSLY GOING TO LONDON for study abroad. I am so excited! I really really can't wait.

Pero Like You Know.

So last night was fun. I stayed in and chilled with my suitmmates, called a few friends over and watched some scary ass movie. My friend Joe a bottle of Jose Cuvo and ppl were done ! My suitmmate Chanti has to be the cuttest drunk in the world ! lol I wish you could've seen it.

Today has been a chill day for me. Mainly I've just lounged around and went to walmart for a couple of things. Tonight is by far gonna be a good night :). I'm going to Casajavi with Jacques and his loser for friends (jk). I think I definitely deserve going out for once. lol

For the rest of the day I'm probably just going to procrastinate about doing my Enlgish hw and chill with Joe. I'll definitely let you know how the night goes. ;)

There's Always Time For New Things

Today my day has gone pretty well. I only had one class which was Math. My Professor gave back out hw and past quizzes and I aced them all. That was a shocker for me myself, but w/e.

Yesterday I had a really long day. I had two meetings one for S.I.K and the other for Phi Beta Sigma. S.I.K is a community service based group that does work shops and also peer education. Yesterday I was announced as the treasurer so I'm super excited about that. Our presentation was called "Homies and The Homeless". Participating in it I actually learned a lot of things. Living in the city, there is a stereotype that all homeless people usually ride the trains, smell, and are usually crazy but anyone can be homeless, maybe even a friend that you know of. To give back to those that don't have, on thursday we're hosting "Meal Swips for The Homeless". All the food that we collect will be given to a near by shelter.
I think it'll be a great success.

Phi Sigma Beta is obviously a sorority. I'm not joing, but being a part of S.I.K we give back to our fellow groups and what not. Their program was called "How To Treat a Lady" and it was really really entertaining. There was a panel of guys and a huge group of ladies in the crowd. Everyone filled out an index card where they basically asked questions that the guys had to answer. Most of the question were based on sex, and just basically talking to females and what not. The answers, I have to admit, were halarious but they showed how reguardless of the fact there are double standards. Personally I feel like if every female were to set them selves to basically the same high standards, there would be no room for a player or someone who "spits game". Every guy would have to treat females the same and respectful way. But obviously this is impossible. Some girls make it easier for males because they don't set their standards high but there's also other things to think about. One thing that I probably will never forget is that the guys said that the amount of sexual partners a girl has depends if their gonna talk to them because that increases their chances of having an STD or HIV/AIDS. They definitely failed to recognize that anyone can get either of these by having sex just 1 time and they also didn't think about how girls feel about them having a lot of sexual partners. It's the same exacat thing.

So today I got a call from this modeling agency. I'm actually thinking about going along with it. I've been wanting to do this for a while but I've never had the courage to actually pull through. I have a meeting with them next weekend in Manhattan. I'm actually pretty excited :)

5 Leaf Clover

Yesterday was another extremely long day for me. 4 classes that went by slower than a turtle. I had my first exam in African American Literature and I'm so upset that I got 4 wrong. I really felt like crying. I studied my ass off, just because I know I have a terrible memory and look how things ended up? But I'm definitely not going to dwell on it, there's always an extra credit assignment.

Today, luckily, I have NO classes :) My English is cancelled until next week and I just didn't really feel like going to American Politics. Instead I went to the mall and bought some long sleeve shirts and a pair of sunglasses because it's freezing in Albany. The weather here is completely bipolar. There's no point in watching the news anymore.

Last night was probably the hardest nights for me. I guess crying myself to sleep seems like a new method. One of my roommates always says that "humans will always dissappoint you, no matter what" and I think I went above and beyond that. To make someone feel so much pain is just inhumane. I never ever want to hear someone cry so much over me; especially when I'mnot worth it. I basically had an ephiphany last night, realizing that I myself need way more changes than some other people. I was ready to let go of something that has only benefited me because of my selfishness. I'm truely sorry and I hope you forgive me. In so many ways I'm lucky to have you.

The rest of the day will probably be pretty laid back. I'm probably just going to study, clean my room and around 7ish I have a S.I.K meeting. I think I deserve to relax a little. This weekend as always there are like 90000000000000000 parties. I'm actually considering going to one. Yes people clap !
