End of Upward Bound 2010

This isn't my first time blogging but i always hate the fact that one someone comments on one of your post's you don't get notified and i don't check my post for comments often. I also don't like that we didn't blog as much towards the end. I did however the that we could blog about anything and that blogging is a good way to express how your feeling about a certain topic.

When I get out of here i plan on just enjoying my summer. I may even go to a couple parties but mainly i plan on just relaxing with my friends and making up for lost time. I'm also going to try and find a job that's near my new house. I hope that i get to see people from here every so often, and I'm going to try and make plans with them. I am planning on trying to play basketball with hector sometime.

My favorite type of candy is Reese's cups. They are so good. I am not a big fan of chocolate but Reese's are AMAZING! I've loved them for so long! I have Reese's and Mountain Dew, man I love that combo!

my weekend/ summer

My weekend sucked. Friday night I went to the movies for my best friends birthday. I watched two chick-flicks, killers and Eclipse. Killers was kinda funny but i was mad i couldn't go see Predator, and Eclipse was OK, i don't think there was enough action. I only watched Eclipse for Alycia's birthday. Annette lied and said there was a lot of action and there was only a big action scene. Then Saturday Austin, Corey and I ( whom i was with all weekend ) went to Harrison park but no one was there and then To Richmond but no one was there either. So when we got back to Austins the neighbor invited us into her pool, which we accept because it was hot out. And Sunday i had to babysit my little sister but I napped for a couple of hours instead, and when I awoke my mom was home. A few hours later I was on my way back to GVSU.

Today I'm realizing how i may miss some of the people that are here. Even the ones that are beginning to irritate me. I'm going to miss ALL of the guy seniors, and our amazing wars. I'm going to miss the people I wont see next year, and i probably wont see at all this summer. All i have to do when we get out besides visit family is try and get a job to pay for the things i need and to help out my family. I hope i can get a job right when i get out then I can get a phone and talk to the people I'm going to miss. Since I'm moving right after i get out I'll probably enjoy my summer more since I'm moving back to the westside, where i was raised.

dont forget to rember

The summer program is almost over. I have learned a lot while i have been here and i have made a lot of friends. I have no idea what I'm going to do when the program is over besides get a job. I'm going to want to hang out with a lot of the people over the summer and i am going to try. It really sucks that we all are going our separate ways, for the most part. We are all going to go about ourselves until next summer when we will think about this summer and how much fun we had.
It really sucks that all the seniors wont be back next year, cause that's who i hang with the most. The only plus to them leaving is that we become the seniors. I many not see anyone from here for a long time but i know we'll always remember each other cause that's what families do, they remember know matter how far apart or how long you've been gone.

So many good times, like hooping with Hector and Eric. And running from Hector and Jesus. I'm going to miss the laughs. I'm going to miss the hard basketball games, and the competitive challenges from the seniors and the t.C's. The only thing left for me to do is to beat Eric in basketball before this summer is over. And since I'll be at City next year with Hector i can beat him later.

I read a paper about sleep disorders called "Sleep". It was hard me because i was starting to doze off. I can't read without music to keep me awake, i learned this about myself this year wehile trying to read for my Spanish class. It was an interesting article, i didn't know sleep loss was such a big issue in the world.

Thursday we get extened free time and we get a chance to swim. I don't know what all i'm going to do but i know i'm going to try and play basketball. Ms.Palmer mentioned that we have another "special" activity for thursday. I'm a little interested because instead of it being during study table its during our free time. I hope it's fun, if it's not i may be a little upset.

We have class friday which sucks because i really want to sleep in. I can sleep in today or tommrow, i'm going to try and get all my work done in class before study table because i finally made the all A's list so i can take a nap from 7:15 to 9:15. Then after the song at study table i can go back to sleep for the night. But i have this feeling that evev though i have all my work done i will not get any sleep.

Yesterday was confusing, people are starting to have me think. I don't know what to think of a lot of people anymore. But those topic is very complicated so I'm going to pick a new one.

I had my physics exam last hour and for sure i got five points off, out of 36 points total so i have a B. I did the extra credit worth four points and i hope i got it right so that i can have an A on the mid-term. Also today during our physical activity we are having a volleyball tournament and i don't really like volleyball nor am i good at it but we have to participate. Besides i don't want to let my team down.

Last night i hid a game from my roommate, Moises, because someone ate my stuff and i know it wasn't him but he's being punished for it. And he's blogging about his version of the story which is a complete and total lie! So to cope with this lose he started a new game called Kill zone 2. I don't know what his deal is but i HATE handheld games so much because they suck!

Hoop dreams

Yesterday between 6:15pm and 7:05pm we a miracle was suppose to happen but it was stopped by the Tc known as Eric! In a game to 15 i was first to reach 15 but I had to win by 2 and with Eric right behind this was no easy task! Eric shot and missed but he stepped up his defense because i was in the lead. I took the ball back, i dribbled for awhile, i watched Eric waiting for him to slip up....but he never did and i took the shot and missed and i was to tired to hold up good defense with my only motivation being the victory that i could feel in my sweaty palm. He grabbed the ball and took advantage of my weakness and scored twice in a row to win the game. I was the closest to beating him in the past 2-3 yrs ( of the students). I was a little disappointed to have a victory as important as that one taken from my hand. So today since Eric has basketball as his physical activity i am going to see if i can have it for today and tomorrow. I'm going to beat Eric and then beat Mr. Brandson before this summer program is over!
