what's up.

The compostion of other people's blogs have made me remember that I, too, have a blog. lol

I've been okay, we're on our summer break and I have been very relaxed. I recently got a new phone, the G1, which isn't the best phone, but it's practical enough for my uses. Its while, with a clear plastic case, and contrary to my expectations, it is a pretty attractive phone. 

I've been prompted to write because the same thing always happens to me. People always make me think, they really do, and when I hear other people's issue's, it makes me analyze my own similar situations and dilemmas. So here I am going to write about a few different things: future, family, friends...blahhhh

My future is not really blurry, but its not bvery clear either. I have always had an interest in science, most definitely. Whether it was Aeronautics, chemistry, forensics, or biology, it was always science. My old interests always come back, and make me try to reconsider my plans. I have always loved aeronautics, but I didn't pursue it because engineering is very hard and very competitive and it isn't guaranteed to become a successful aeronautic engineer. besides, if i ever did that, I would want to work for Boeing, Lockheed Martin, or Airbus. BIG name aero companies. I still have an interest in forensics, not that this is important but I watch CSI like every day in deep interest. I still am interested in medicine. But I just don't know what kind of medicine yet. But that's okay, because many doctors don't even specialize until residency anyway. But I have a great interest in American Politics and some parts of American history. I am a political science minor, so I think I'm doing okay.

My family is the same mess it has always been, but they're great nonetheless. There are about 22 people in this house as I speak, and they are very loud. I did my two year old cousin's (but since she's youngshe calls me Auntie Tosin) hair, and boy she can talk. She told me that she was a princess. Lol. Someone broke a glass, another fell from a chair and busted her lip, another one of them got their hand stuck in a jar. While I hate being immesely occupied, these kids sure do amuse me. I find it funny that these kids break up into little cliques and get into little arguments. My little brother was holding a 6 month old, and his diaper was a little overdue...poop got on his shirt, I died laughingas I took the baby away from him. lol enough about this madness.

My friends. Ohgeez, my friends. I have some pretty interesting friends. I tell you. Its like mixing and matching. You have fun with a certain combination of friends. When all of them are present at the same time, someone gets either angry or irritated. Otherwise it can just be awkward and boring. Some of them have become distant, which is normal at this age. I barely converse with Jessica or Kiersten anymore, but at one point, they were my closest friends. Not saying that  have a problem, its just natural and people drift, things are becoming real. Things could change, but  I think as far as common interests, we really aren't the same.(you know, besides music). Brittany and Jasmine have been drifting from me since high school, but I still to them from time to time just to touch bases with them. Again, I'm just a little odd compared to them, and they know it, I'm weird. lol But It's still fun to talk to them, because they are really funny and  always have something to share with me. It's never silent on the phone lol. Brittany (Elite) and Albert seem to be the people I talk to the most often, we really haven't changed. I talk to them on the phone pretty often, although I haven't seen either of them since December.Haha. I'm really content with my friends though. Even though all of them are a pain in my ass. lol.

Well that's pretty much my update on everything, I'll try toupdate more often, and I have really been meaning to edit my blog layout but I just don't feel like it so if you would excuse me, I have to return to my family cookout activities. =]

Bringing Freshman Year to a Close

Soo

It has finally come to the end of my freshman year in college. Its been real. REAL. It was pretty interesting because so much happened this school year. I've been amused. I've been pissed off, I'm been all but an exception. I don't regret this year at all...well maybe I could have been more serious...but nonetheless, I am pretty satisfied with this school year. I met some cool people. I met some annoying people as well. There are some people in particular that I can see myself still keeping contact with in 5 years. It has been quite alright to say the least. The people in my residence hall have been amazing. Its almost sad when you start realizing that after Friday, we will no longer be residents of Lowell M. Sowers Residence Hall (don't ask why I even noticed). No more annoying knocks on the door from people asking for something, no more noisy neighbors, no more fights (haha). I think that I have connected with some of the people here, and that is pretty cool. Not saying that this was the most spectacular year ever, but it was one hell of an academic year.

I will not miss those triflin girls that like to leave period blood trails on the bathroom floor, leave hair in the shower drains, get hair dye all over the place, leave loogies in the sink drains, and improperly wrap sanitary pads. I will not miss the fact that our room always smelled like food in the afternoon because we live right on top of a restaurant. I will not miss the random knocks at odd hours of the day. I will not miss the people who annoyed me (well at least not their annoying tendencies). I will not miss the people at the restaurant downstairs waking me up at wee hours with their boombox and reversing food trucks.

But mostly the biggest change that I will have to got through next year is my living situation. I have rented an apartment with two of my friends. So, Morgan will no longer be my roommate.

So she finally gets her shine... Morgan is one of the most eccentric people (or obsessive?) people that I have ever met in my life. There are not too many people that can share the same sense of humor that I have.  Laugh at things that aren't funny (or meant to be). Break up relationship fights with. Help out drunk neighbors and laugh when they aren't looking. She is annoying bitch, but she was an awesome annoying bitch. Life at FSU would not have been as amusing as it was with her. Next year will still be pretty amusing, but it will never emulate or surpass the merryment that I had with Morgan. So, yes, bitch, when you read this, just know...you are pretty fucking amazing. (don't get hyped.) We have like a million insiders and its really funny because in 10th grade when we had Chemistry together, we would have never figured that we would be living with each other for 9 consecutive months. She puts up with my strange (and probably annoying) tendencies. So, will all that said, we (and I) will miss that ho.

As far as my academics, I am definitely going to step up the game next semester. I can't wait to bring the grades where they need to be.

I really don't have much to say, other than the fact that I'm waiting for my dad to get here so he can come get me (and my belongings.)

i'm a bit inspired..

Despite the fact that it's 6:47 am, and I really should be asleep like everyone else in the dorm (except my roommate, morgan...she's up with me). But we want to go get breakfast this morning, and we didn't got to bed until almost 6am so we decided to stay up. I was up studying for today's lab practical - wish me luck by the way- and you know, that has led me to write a blog....you know, among other things.

Okay, so like I was on facebook earlier and somebody posted a video on someone else's wall. it was a video of a beat-boxing flute player named Greg Pattillo. He is effing AMAZING. Here's one of his videos...

but I feel inspired because I went to his youtube account and he also has a video of him performing at the subway in new york..in front of the Q train. but this time he was playing with a cellist. I used to be a cellist, and when i saw this collaboration, it kind of makes me want to perfect my string instrument game. I don't have a cello anymore, though, but I do have a violin. however, my violin has a bad A string, and it sounds "absolutely dreadful" to the ear. 

But I remember when me and Kiersten used to play our instruments together because we were the only ones in out group of friends who could play instruments. She plays the flute and the piano primarily, and she can also play guitar. I play the piano and the string instruments, I am still learning the guitar, and we both can play the drums. We used to play around, and at one point, considered starting a group with jessica, since she sings...heheheh

but you know, that never went anywhere. but I really think instruemental music is the best thing that ever happened to me, and i would be nothing without it. i just wish that i had more time on my hands to practice. hopefully this summer i can get good at my instruments again.

things like this make me miss band.

but that video really made my day, believe it or not. That guy is AMAZING and if her ever came in the Baltimore area, me and Kiersten are going to go watch him. :)

yahhhhhh trick yahhhhhh...lol

greetings earthlings...

heheh

but anyways... I've noticed a grossly increasing number of readership...and that's pretty cool.

in other news, I have like 9 or 10 days left in Frostburg, and I'm kinda excited. I just want to do well on my finals and all that jazz, and hopefully my grades turn out the way I want them to. I have a crapload of work to do, so I really don't understand why I am writing this blog. But you know, sometimes you need to break the monotony.

I have a lot in store for the summer ahead of me. I am looking forward to it, and can't express how relieved I will be when finals are over. It is CRUNCH TIME.

Hmm...what else has happened lately? Nothing really, I've just been doing homework. I have been rather irritated with certain individuals simply because they like to waste my time. it's not that serious, but it just perplexes me when people do things sometimes. and i also am confused by the intentions and wishes of today's youth. [how diplomatic i sound.]

I really have nothing to talk about, and it would help if I had some ideas on things to write about. Uhhhhhh so, I think I'll end this, and with that being said, wish me good luck on my finals and stuff.

haha=]

of a different variety.

So I haven't written in a couple days. Not that I planned to write every day or something but I just thought that would be enough to say. 

But anyways, we have a little over two weeks left in the semester, and I am happy to say the least. I don't want to get too excited, because I still need to keep myself focused enough to close in for the year and get decent grades. I can not afford to slip. I'm trying to stay focused, but the worrysome and distracted person that I am won't allow me to. But fuck that, I will prevail. haha.

OH! and in other news, I pierced my own cartilage on Tuesday. Morgan and I did our own ears. And it did hurt. But not enough to cry. But the stupid thing I did was I put a nickel-alloy earring in it...I'm allergic to nickel... SO I don't feel too smart right now, but hopefully the force is with me and my ear doesn't react negatively to it :-/ I'm pretty sure it will because every time my skin comes in contact with a nickel,  it starts itching and I get raised bumps, and sometimes fluid comes out...gross, yes, but it's true. So I'm allergic to most belt buckles, some bra snaps, buttons, necklaces, keys, or anything that contains nickel. I need to go get a titanium earring for it. The pin that I pierced it with probably has nickel in it, too. =[

But if the force acts with me, I'll be fine like my mother tried to assure me to believe. But she told me it it starts reacting funny, I should take it out, and I could always get it done professionally on the other ear while it heals. I don't really think I regret it, I'm just kind of skeptical of the outcome. I would actually feel the safest if I used a hollow piercing needle... but anyway it's all good.

On other notes, I just came from a UPC (University Programming Council) interview. I think it went well, and hopefully I get chosen to be on the exec board next semester. 

LMAO. My statistics professor sent all his students a very amusing picture (it's amusing considering the circumstances that the world is currently under)

click here to see =]

I just could not believe the humor of that. haha

well, thanks for reading. I tend to use my twitter more nowadays, so follow me on twitter:

events and such.

I've ha a pretty interesting week. It was Earth Week, and a lot of events went on around the campus. All kinds of fundraisers and charity events were going on. Me being a Bio major, its all I've been hearing about all week.

But yesterday was Relay for Life, and most of the organizations of Frostburg State were there. Fraternities, Sororities, Sports Teams, Leadership Programs. I'm part of the Pre-Professional Medical Society, and we had to stay there for a REALLY long time. Relay for life was from 6pm to 6am this morning. I was there from like 7pm to about 5am. So I was there for a while. Pre Med Society raised the most money....

Oh, by the way, Relay for Life is a walk for cancer awareness and support. I've had a family member recently survive cancer, so the whole event was pretty cool. There was like a vigil for all the cancer survivors and those who lost their lives to cancer. I took some pictures too.

this looked really cool=]

me; sometime at 8pm

moesha and toesha.

lol

right before we left.

here's her blog by the way.

stuff.

I don't have much to say today, besides the fact that I've been pretty busy. It has been a good week though, and for that I am grateful. I have a lab practical on Friday, and I'm not sure how well I'm going to do on it, but I'm pretty confident that I will pass. Statistics is kicking my ass, but I won't surrender to it, I've come too far to stop now. Besides, I have a B.

I still have to send in my job and internship applications before I wrap up this semester. Next semester I'm going to have a plate full of events because I have signed up to do a lot. I need to be more active on campus, and get a little bit going on for me to put on my resume. Currently, I'm only involved in the Pre-Professional Medical Society. 

But anyway...

I am really looking forward to this summer, even though most of it I porbably won't be sitting around enjoying myself. I'm just excited to take a break from the full-time student thing. I'm still going to be taking classes this summer, though. One online Psych class, and possibly a Chemistry class. I still have to work and all that stuff too. But honestly, I'm more concerned about school than making money at this time. Next year, I might be a tutor for Biology 149...so there's some stipend there too.

Kicking into overdrive.

Besides school and working and camp counseling at my youngest brother's school, I will try to squeeze in time to go places and do stuff. I am going to New York at least one time this summer. Definitely will be taking the MARC train to Washington, DC as well. I'll also go party with everyone, its been a really long time.

So, I am looking forward to that. So, i'll be working extra hard until the semester is finally over..then home I come.
