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!

lossin out

I haven't been getting a lot of sleep lately. Its really starting to take a toll on me and to add on to that i haven't really been eating but that's because i haven't really been hungry. I don't have a lot of energy and to stay awake i have to keep laughing and being REALLY dumb. If i don't I'll be falling asleep in class.

Moises is having the same problem but that is because he stays up playing Need for Speed Carbon. I mean i don't know why he's addicted to the game, its really not that good on a handheld system. To stay awake in Spanish is our real challenge because there are so many chances to sleep and the class isn't that exciting.

summon

In school sometimes researching can be really hard, because your searches get all mixed with other things. If i knew about summon before my English class would've went by much smoother. Summon was very helpful, if there was one thing i could look up on summon it would be about a movie that i want to see, and see what people think of the movie and maybe ill find out if i really want to see it or not.
I wouldn't say i "liked" using summon because it was just basically looking up stuff. I mean i guess i liked it as much as you can like looking up something. I guess i learned something so it wasnt a waste of time.

So i had to take my physics quiz today and i think i did ok, but i know i only got like a B or a low A if im lucky. At first i knew what i was doing and then i just went blank and i dont know why. Then i learned i had a quiz in writting that i had forgotten about. I need to study for my spanish quiz because that class is hard for no reason! For spanish i think i should be good if i just review my notes on the four verbs she has given us and review my notes on the book.
I just really started claculus and it hasnt been that hard so far but we've only done limits. I'm not a big fan of limits because you have to read graphs to do them. I think i'll do great when we get to the part about math!

rain makes us sleep

So my backpack broke today which sucks because now i have to walk in the ran carrying a satchel looking thing. I'm going to try and get a new one during my internship because that's where i got it before, and if i cant get one I'm going to get an old bag to use.

I feel a little bad for Hector and Gsu because they were late this morning, i hope they don't lose their privileges for the week or anything since it is there first time messing up. I even beat on their door this morning and that's when someone shut off the alarm.

I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT TO WRITE ABOUT! I just relized caps lock was on, and i dont want to delete. English is not a prfered class for me. I was never good at it and i doubt that i'll never be good at it and that is by choice. My morning has been ok, but i'm still really mad that we lost chocalte milk because that's what i drink for breakfeast.

I really am tired and i didnt even wake up last night during the storm. I feel bad for Salina cause she was going crazy last night cause she's afraid of storms. All the girls were mad because the tc's didnt wake us up and move us to the basement during the storm, i dont see what the big deal is. I mean it wasnt even a tornado, it was a funnel and i didnt effect me although it did effect others in the area.

disney land

This weekend was my cousin, Camerons 19th b-day so Saturday we had a little get together for him and it was really fun. There are some others things i wouldve rathered have done like, go to the harry potter theme park in Disney land. even though i may be to old, its Disney land and i've never been there but it seemed to be very interesting. Some people say it wasn't very fun, but i mean your in Disney land why can't you have fun?



I will probably never go to disney land but if i do i'll enjoy myself and ill do everything you can do. I'll eat all the food, unless it's very nasty and i'll ride most of the rides.

e3

I missed all of e3! every single part! I'm SO mad, how crappy is that! There's a whole new 360 coming out and all new games coming out around my birthday! Man i want a job so i can buy a 360! This weekend im going to catch up on everything i missed!

Our first thursady and all we have are quizs in all of our classes. Im thankful that this week we dont have a quiz in writting or math. And our physics teacher didnt give us homework for the weekend but i'm sure we'll have some in the rest of our classes.
Also we have a "special" activity instead of study table, which i am not super pleased about right now even though i dont know what the acticity is! Because we were given homework today our study table was moved to sunday night.

Everyone was punished for being outside of thier rooms past the time, so it went from 11:15 to 10:30 that we had to be in our dorm, which sucks because i didnt get in trouble so i dont have to be but since everyone else ( minus the seniors) have to be in thier rooms i was really bored last night even though i hung with the seniors.

yesterday

Man i feel tired and sick, i feel like i have no energy, i hope today goes very effort free. I'm actually reading my Spanish book in my free time to stay on top of it. Spanish is the hardest class because of the fact that our teacher talks in Spanish for most of the time and when she does talk in English its very hard to understand but she is getting better. Sometimes i think she doesn't even realize that she's talking in Spanish and she gives directions and our homework out in Spanish.
Last night the Lakers won and Jamal wouldn't shut up about it, i sware you'd think he's dating Kobe the way he talks about him sometimes! And even worse is that he thinks he's just like Kobe when it comes to basketball, which he's not!

motivations

I've always been interested in what motivates people. I've seen people do things out of thier nature for different reasons. What motivates a man to change his side in a war, is it money, power, greed? Could it be that he has his family on his mind when he makes his desions, or could he only be thinking about himself? What motivates a man to leave his family? I do not know the answer to many questions that i have asked and many people can not answer them, maybe its because no one truly knows why they really do anything anymore. What motivates me to write this blog? This question is designed for only me to truly be able to answer yet i can not find the reason i am writing this, maybe its because i have to or maybe its because i feel there are things that should be said that arent, I do not know why. Do we think about our future when we answer questions or do we think about whats only going on now? i dont know why we acted they way we do eighter, but that is for a different time!

To blog or not to blog?

Blogging is not something that i am use to, but i have done it before. I think that i have not considered blogging before because i am not a big fan of writting.
