Last blog for class

Well this is my last blog for the classL, so I guess I will just speak on random thoughts. First off, I am so sleepy because I have not been getting any sleep at all these last two, but mainly all semester. My friend thinks that I do not get enough sleepy because I can’t say no to people when they want me to do things and that I am money hungry.  I did in agreement with her because I think I am money hungry too because I would rather work than sleep. I find that really sad. But I said I will change and start getting my rest for now on. I will be working the whole summer and taking summer classes, so rest is something I will really need. Well I am work once again and I am sleepy, so I will cut this blog off right here. I wish everyone a great summer. Everyone be safe and I will be around for if some strange reason you will need me well talk to you all later.

End of semester

Well it’s approaching the end of the semester and I am very happy. This semester was not that much of a struggle, but it did have it moments especially since I did not go to class like I should have.  This semester I had all good teachers. I am going to miss my English teacher the most. She made so easier on me and plus we did not have any test. She was very understanding and wanted us all to succeed and others teachers I have had did that care that much.  She should go down as teacher of the year because I really enjoyed her class. Well I am ready to get out of school, but the sad part is I have to go to summer school and that sucks big time.  Oh well, I will just wish for the best and hope my summer goes by pretty good.

late night at work

Well I’m sitting here at work kind of bored and it is 2:00 in the morning. I was hungry so my friend Shawna and I ordered some hot wings from Ubees. They were very delicious and juicy. I am always working graveyard shifts and normally I be here alone trying to keep myself up, but today I have company, Yay. Well she is only keeping company because she wanted to eat my food and she waiting on her secret lover to get off.  She has a boyfriend, but yet going over another dude house this time of the night.  Oh well I am glad she is going out because otherwise she would not be down here with me. Well while we are waiting, we are watching Blue Streak on Netflix. My friend Tia is also down here writing her speech for class, but she is caught up with her boyfriend on the phone that she is ignoring me. Hmm well I guess I will end it here. I just hope these last two hours go by quick because I get off at 4 and I want to get in my bed and sleep. Good night

friends chaning

I have a question for the world. Why do you stay the same, but your friends change in ways that are not good.  About 6 years ago I met my friend who is young than I am and also she is from Viennese. When I first met her she was a smart child who I enjoyed being around with her head on her shoulders. Now she just boy crazy, loves her friends over her family, and rebellious. Well I hadn’t talk to her in a while, but we got back in touch this past weekend for her birthday party celebration. Coming to her gathering was so weird because she didn’t even really talk to me. She brought her sister along with her even thought she didn’t want to, but I am glad because that was the only person I talked to. She has gained very wild friends who loves attention and to drink and they have just graduated high school, so they are under age.  They just were people I wouldn’t use to see her hanging out with. I really can’t say why she changed; maybe going to Memphis city schools did it. I heard stories about her that I could not believe at all. Her family was talking to her about how they don’t like how she is and she got mad and had a attitude at me when I didn’t say anything to her.  To myself I was just thinking wow this is not the person I use to love what happened, but oh well nothing I can do now. I do not know really what to say, but I hope she change soon because the way she is going she going to end up in trouble in some way.

hookah

Well today I really do not have anything to talk about, so I was just talk about my weekend.  To start it off, Friday after class my mommy came and picked me up and took me to red lobster for lunch. We both had the chef signature pasta which was really good, but we did not eat a lot though. We got to go boxes and went to off to get both of our hair done. Friday was the day my mommy said that she was going to treat me out for being me. The beauty shop was very packed because the owner of the shop mom’s passed and my beautician granddaughter was going to be in a pageant Saturday. All this led to the shop being closed on Saturday.  Afterwards, she took me back to the school because I had to be at work that night. Once I got to the dorm my best friend and I wanted to try some new, so we went to the hookah lounge. We had never been, but heard it was fun. When we got there it was very packed and we had to wait on a hose thing. After waiting and it was our turn, we soon learned that the hookah lounge was tobacco, which we did not know. So we got some that was tea leaves and the flavor was watermelon. This was the worst experience either of us had ever had. Neither of us smokes and the hookah just made us very sick especially that flavor. We thought it was the flavor, so for once we tried once that had tobacco and that was even worst. We just left the place wasting money because we did not smoke any up. The hookah thing is suppose to be flavor smoke, but I did not taste anything but nastiness. That was the worst night of the weekend. The rest of the days I just did the basics, lay around and watch tv.

roommate

Well I have been living on campus for the last 3 years and each year I have a different roommate. I am the type of person who likes to be very diverse, so that is why I thought coming to the U of M would be good for me. Since I have arrived here my friends have not been that much diverse at all. I find this to be very depressing. Well out of 4 roommates only one is white. Having a roommate of another ethnic background was something I always wanted and finally this spring semester I got one. At first I was very excited to have this happened, but soon I become very disappointed with that arrangement. Now she is a very weird girl, but everyone is in the own way, but that wasn’t the problem in why I was disappointed.  Now I do not smoke or have a problem with people who smoke, but I kind of want to draw the straw when it comes to the smell being in my room. I have asthma so the smell irritates me a lot. My RA and I came up with the idea that maybe once she comes in and washes her clothes the smell won’t be that bad and with my air freshener it will go away.

 The first week she was right it was not that bad, but then the smell got extremely strong over the air freshener and made the room smell horrible. To made things worse, she a very dirty person. She literally throws all trash on the floor and on the vent and that a lot makes the room smell bad. She is not a bad person I wish she would just Lysol her clothes and throw away her trash. People use to walk in my room and love the smell, but now I do not even want to be in my room. I just hang out in my best friend room all the time and I know she think I have abandon her, but I do not want to be mean and tell her that.

major

Animals have always been my passion every since I was little and can remember. Growing up I had many different pets and loved them so dearly. When I am playing with them or taking care of them, I feel like I am doing my purpose in life. So, as a child kid and even as I got older, I said I was going to be a veterinarian. Then, when I got in high school I had a thing for being in water, so I wanted to be a marine biologist. I kept that dream going all the way until I got into in college and found that the University of Memphis did not have that as a major. From there I wanted to go back to being a veterinarian, but they do not have that as a major either. If I wanted to come close to being a vet I would have to major in biology and transfer to another school and I did not want that at all.

            My new major became criminal justice because I had been watching the animal cops show on animal planet and said hey…I could be a animal cop and help get the people off the street that’s hurting the animals as well as be around animals. Once I told my dad of that plan he was not to excited bout. He wanted to know how much they made and so on, and preferred that I be a nurse something he knows make decent money. I felt very hurt because to me it didn’t matter how much my major made. It matter that I was going to be doing something I loved and plus I will have a good degree I could also find other jobs.

Stress

I am currently taking 17 hours of class and working twenty hours a week. Now for any person that is not a bad schedule at all, but I seem to be having difficulties with it. All my classes are at very decent times like on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays I don’t have class until 11:30. Tuesdays and Thursdays I have classes from 8am to 12:45, which also includes my Tuesday’s class at 5 and Thursday’s class at 1:15. I work graveyard shift every night from 12 to 4am every night except Sunday nights which is Monday mornings. My job title is called a desk assistant and I work in the dorms which is very convenient to me since I stay on campus, but my Tuesday and Thursday shifts make my life a little hard. I have a early 8:00 class on those days and do not get off until 4:00 or even later sometimes when the next desk assistant do not show up. Then, I have to get up at 7 to get ready for class and that means I only like 3 hours of sleep which is not good. I be so sleepy when I go to class, but I have to go because my teacher takes attendance. In my two classes right after that, my teachers do not take attendance, so I hardly make it to them, but I still do all my assignments though. I really want to give up my shifts permanently, so I can be well rested for class, but it is my only job and I like having the money. I think getting rest is so much important, but I really do not know what to do with my schedule this semester. My parents think I should ask for better hours and give up my late one. I wish I could do that, but I cannot because everyone hours is already set…so I am stuck being miserable.

growing up

What do Hannah Montana, Ninja Turtles, and Scooby Doo have in common, well me. These are just few of the many things I love, which others look at as being childish. I have always had a passion for these characters growing up and I don't see why I can't still love them at the age of 20. My friends make fun of me for idolizing them and talking so much about them, but I don't care because they make me happy. From the Hannah Montana poster on my wall, my Scooby Doo pajamas and shirt, to my Ninja Turtles: slippers, throw, key chain, and laptop bag. I will never give up my passion for them. I don’t see why people make fun of me when it comes to these characters; they always tell me to grow up. But why should I grow up, there are still people who love Mickey Mouse, SpongeBob, and Hello Kitty and even go as far as getting tattoos of them; and their older than me. What’s the harm in loving things that you once did when you were a kid? I’m sure there is something that you grew up with as a child loving and still love till this day and wouldn’t change your love for them just because people talk about you. For instance, my best friend loves Mickey Mouse and has so many Mickey Mouse things; she even named her car after his girlfriend Minnie Mouse and she’s 24. She doesn’t care what anyone thinks about her loving him, I guess because they know she can kick their butts. So, see I’m not the only one who idolizes things from my childhood, I’m sure everyone does.

friends

Today was not a good day at all. Well it started yesterday when my best friend and I got into this huge fight well argument if I must say so.  I will rather not say what is was about but it put our friendship to the test. We have been friends for officially two years now. We have known each for a short time but have come to love one another as if we have known each other for a lifetime. It is known that friends will not always see eye to eye and they will bump heads because no one shares the same brain so they might disagree a lot. Well the meaning of my story is that I really love my best friend and I am glad I met her and wouldn’t change it for the world. We may have fought for the last two days and it seemed like we were not going to be friends anymore because the situation kept getting worse the more we argued.

The argument started because of some she did and I really let it get to me bad, which I don’t know if I shouldn’t have but it seemed so wrong at the time and still do. After constant messages of arguing back and forth and the situation was not getting any better. I was on the edge of walking away, but in my heart I didn’t want to because I knew I was just talking out of anger, but I didn’t know what else to do.  She is a really sweet girl and knows I cannot really hold grudges against her, especially if I get a bear or some. So when I got out of class the first the first it was a bear in my room with a card apologizing. It was heartfelt but I was not going to cave in that easy because she had already told me it was some waiting for me. The fight still went on. Then finally, I go and come back from my last class and there again is another bear, this time with a post it that she written on. It was really sweet and it broke me down. From there she took me to get some to eat and we chilled and watched TV with my roommate. We have been through some hard times and this will not be the last but I know every time we have a fight, we have to be strong and fight for one another because life is too short to not have the ones you love in your life.
