So giddy
One of my predicted feelings of love used to be the nice feeling you get listening to a nice song tied with a nice beat or smooth melody. I’m glad that my assumptions hold true.
15-25%you complete me.
It’s when I’ve been able to apply what I’ve taken through my eyes and my ears and put it into my voice and hands that I’ve really learned something.
Basically, I’m only learning between 75-85% of the time nowadays.
I miss organizing outside of an essay assignment and speaking up in the classroom.
When and how do we jump back in?
IM DOWN.
Dear Oprah,
Your girl really wants to go to college, but it is so damn expensive. I know you get people marvelous gadgets and cars, but I was wondering if you can hook it up with a full ride scholarship. I promise I won’t let you down! I hope to hear from you soon!
Sincerley,

Haiti
Haiti may have experienced a very devastating earthquake a few days ago that wiped out thousands and thousands of people, but from previous readings and more so from this informative interview with Randall Robinson, I can see that Haiti was already shaken up before the earthquake occurred and continues as we speak. More specifically, under the hands of the United States the people of Haiti have...
I'm arguing with myself in answering this...
What defines our nation as somehow being quintessentially American? How do you become an American? Define it? What is it?
With all honesty I was very unfamiliar with the word “quintessential” and figuring out the first part of the series of questions. After looking in the dictionary, putting in some thought, and asking for some help with rephrasing the question, I came to a conclusion that...
Day with the madre
I really thought that I was going to rest my body today or yesterday if you want to be precise, but I went straight to zumba with my mom with a sore body. Following this, i walked around costco, half price books, mancinis sleepworld, ashley’s furniture, king noodle, island pacific, and the beast.
My favorite part was going to island pacific getting the ingredients for the kare kare...
Hella scared
I know I posted about this before, but after the Haiti disaster I’m even more fearful about earthquakes. I mean there’s so much to worry about. The worry already starts not being able to determine exactly when one is coming. I’m just scared because I don’t want to find myself trapped in rubble and I really worry about the safety of my entire family. I just pray that nothing...
Yahesss
I have good grades. I have so much doubt sometimes and think I’m doing awful, but when it comes down to it I’m greatful that I can get through it all. This here is the good news, but my frustrations lately revolve around getting a job. At this point I really need one so bad so that I can support what I like to cook and eat as well as for college next year. Well I hope everything works...
Stressland is approaching
My head hurts thinking about school and which one to go to. When has that shit changed? I’m kind of frustrated on determining if I should take an anthropology class or a creative writing one? I don’t know….

This was good to review considering that I didn’t know that you shouldn’t leave or run during one because that’s where most injuries occur. I didn’t even know that I’m supposed to put my head under a pillow when in bed.I just knew duck and cover, but the magnitude of that earthquake wasn’t enough to indicate it was one so I usually just chill in bed making up...
