The College Life

So it's been about 4 or so months since my last blog. Nothing but venting,lol. Seems like thats all that i use this for,lol. So the last was about graduation. A quick catch up of what happend during the summer...Acted silly, waisted time away...because summer went by wayyyy too fast! Because next thing i know people are leaving for college and then im leaving for college. That turned out to be pretty good. When my parents left i thought i was going to be miserable and was waiting for the home sickness to come in, but suprisingly when they left i just sat in my room and was on the computer and once everyone moved in, we did some getting to know you type thing. School is going good. Once we got more into the school year it got a little more stressful because knowing me im a big procastinator and it got a little more stressful. But since my recent freak out of putting off 2 PROJECTS i've learned my lesson and now my goal is to not procrastinate anymore! So of course people want to know the question that gets asked the most, is if i get along with my roomates. I mean for the most part yes...but of course they get on my nerves every now and then and some more than others. What else are you supposed to expect, when you throw 6 GIRLS in a apartment style dorm who dont even know each other. I thought it was going to be really hard for me because I am a only child (for the most part), but really I think im takeing this a lot better than anyone thought,lol. But know this...there is no way in hell am i living on campus next year, and as far as i know right now that i will not be living with these girls next year (but who knows, time will tell). Im counting down the days to Thanksgiving and Winter break. Why???

1. Because im DYING for some thanksgiving food!
2. It gives me a long weekend to visit more people.
3. I can get away from some of these people here and sleep in a FULL SIZE bed!
4. I get a chance to mourn for my dog who got put to sleep Monday 10-21-2007. Because i know i cant do it hear because it just feels like he's still there and im just away at College. (Oh yea, something else that happpend, dad put Midnight to sleep Monday for obvious reasons; he was struggling really hard. But i know it's going to be hard for me because that was my first dog and pet, so ya.)
5. Winter Break for me is about 1 month and a half. SO NICE!
6. I get to see my new God-Child/Neice. (Yes, Angela is having a baby, probably didn't put that in here i dont think? Im pretty excited. I already have a god-son. But now i'll have a god-son AND a god-daughter. They just might keep my want for kids down untill i get out of college,lol!)

One last thing i want to add in here...Say some prayers for my sister Carmen. Her lungs have a infection and she is in a slight coma. Her husband is doing a excellent job of keeping everyone posted and being a wonderful husband and father. I try and look at things in a positive way because she got this infection before the wild-fires that are happening in San Diego, and think that God is putting her threw this challenge instead of what could of happend if she was put threw with all that dust and smoke (which my guess would of been worse). Whatever the matter is, i've always believed God puts pepole through situations such as these because he knows that we can fight threw them. So, even though i know she is going to make it because if she is anything like me we are fighters and want to live life to the fullest, so she's not going anywhere. But keep your prayers in mind for my sister and her family, i fully appreciate it.

Peace,
Sam

I GRADUATED!!

Okay so basically, i NEVER use this,lol. Only when i remember or somethin happens in my life. Sorry to say that my life isn't interesting,lol. Just kidding. So since last time nothing too exciting. Ever since then school was really stressful. As i said once one gets their acceptance letter from college, they feel as if they dont need to do anything else, high school is over. WRONG! one tends to forget that they have to send that final transcript in and if you slacked that BAD then they can DENY you. So i was basically stressed the rest of the school year to bring my grades up. I've never had 2 D's in my whole high school career. So i tried my hardest to bring those up and not so sure i got to my goal of C's but could be a possibility. Prom came around...wasn't the best i have to say. I, myself was nominated as Prom Queen but didn't win, no biggy. I had fun most of the night, BUT untill when i was about to leave, i couldn't find my camera!! Yes, my DIGITAL camera. I knew exactly where i placed it but it was no longer there. Some asshole stole it, so that pretty much ruined my night. Sadly, for me i have NO, NONE, NADA as far as prom pictures. :( Soon after prom was GRADUATION!...although i didn't get a new digital camera, so i could have pics on it BUT dad did take pics with film, so i suppose i should share that with yall. So ofcourse after graduation you have a graduation party. Well let me just say that this is the most stressful thing yet. Simply because my father isn't much of a help. He thinks that all of the party stuff is up to me, and i should have to do everything. EXCUSE ME! I did a lot! Sent out Graduation announcements, if it wern't for this stupid computer it would have been for me to make the DVD invitations for the party, wrote out and addressed the regular invitations (as well as addressing the DVD ones), put nice lil covers over the DVD invitations. I think i've contributed enough. He says that he's had to buy a lot. HELL! give me a credit card and i'll be happy to go out and make a few purchases. What makes it worse is that i had to do all of this during the school year, with none of their help...i think all of that on top of school work is a lot! He thinks im supposed to be callin people askin them to bring stuff, askin them if they comin....okay! i've done some of that , but shit i can't do everything!! This is MY party...for ME...I Graduated. He thinks just because he's gonna be doin a lot of the cookin he's doin everything. Well, i gotta be make close to 6 batches of cookies. I'm gonna have to do the decorations...(which he said he'll end up doin just because he'll think i'll do it wrong)...get over it! You would think that he could throw this ONE party out of only maybe 2 major birthday parties i had in the past 19 years of my life?? But so now, no1 is really talking to anyone in this household because of my fathers reaction on a wedding we went to this past Saturday. He blew up...as usual...over somethin really REALLY stupid and of course i guess i got "smart" when i just asked a question. He must of gotten into it with my mother the next morning, while I'm sleeping...and the next thing i know i try talking to her askin whats wrong and she wont answer me, DAMN! Once again they are BOTH actin really immature. She acts immature because when he does somethin wrong she takes it out on me...not fare on my part....He acts immature because either he's talkin bout me to her sayin she's a bad mother because i do this and that..basically im a HORRIBLE kid, but i'll NEVER hear it from him, HELLA FAKE! ORRRR immature in a way because he's not grown enough to apologize for his unnecessary blow ups. I'm just really fed up with it...seriously!! Idk i just really needed to vent that out...so now I'm bout to take a shower and get outta this retarded ass house and go to the damn doctor and deposit some money, cause God knows i need 2.

2007

So really i havn't written anything at ALL for 2007. Shame i really DO suck at this. Nothing much has happend ever sense the last time i wrote in a entry. I think at the begining of Feb. i got accepted into Columbia College of Chicago, which was a relief! I was stressin about ever since i turned my application in. I had went to a college visit they had set up here in St. Louis and said "Yea, pretty much most of our students that apply get accepted" i was feelin good like im gettin in then they said, "We really focus the acceptance on the essay they send in" that really just shot me down cause i didnt spend so much time on it and not a lot of effort. So, to get that acceptance letter begining with that relieving word "Congratulations" i didn't kno what to do with myself. But ever since then, it has made it harder for me to be concentrated on school!! You think HEY im already into college but they want that final transcript after graduation. O ya that dosnt' help either cause Graduation isnt too far...May 20th, ya. We've already started to plan my Graduation party as well. Im excited because i convenced my mother to have DVD invitations!! O YA! Doing big things! She was worried about the cost of mailing but we really only need to mail the ones that NEED to be mailed. Like Uncle Tyronne and his family, Uncle Floyd in his family and like My Sister and more...Now the theme (even tho i didn't kno u had to have one) i dont kno cause i wanted it to be Toga but mom said no..i mean dad was all for it. Other news...I DYED MY HAIR! Not much of a change just more red of course. I wasnt trying to cause on the box it was lighter brown than what my hair color was...but it turned out just to be more red. Other than that i can't think of any other major news than that. OH! one more thing...My Doctor is an Asshole! So yes, i kno that i need to loose weight and i need to get going on this cause Chicago is going to kick my ass with all that walking im gonna be doing..BUT! That dosnt give my Doctor the right to tell me im not going to be successful with my Career because im fat. Okay first of all im in the room because im sick and i thought i had strep...where did talkin bout my weight come in at? Second, i dont wanna be a model i want to be a Fashion Designer...market worries bout puttin the clothes out there not the way you look. Thirdly, you are not thin and you are my doctor your best interest for me is to be healthy dont worry about if im goin to be successful or not! Okay so i had to vent a lil....but nothing major that you have missed out on. I'll try more often to write.
