~~Finals and Projects upcoming, may every student scramble to get all of the studying work done on time. Sizing up their grades "will I pass this one??" lets hope so. Late night education sessions and rough mornings out of bed to finish what could not be finished in the last night/early morning. The weeping off students who couldn't get the work done, the cry of the ones that curse Procrastination for bringing them to this point, The Cheer of those who got their work straight and has no fear of the oncoming onslaught of work, The sigh of those who have given up, All these and more can be heard as the semester comes to an end. All semester there is whinning and complianing about how the semester should end quicker and wishes of the end coming closer, faster. Compliants satisfied, wishes granted, you got what you want are you ready?? No?? Guess it's crunch time then!!~~
That was a free write that I just felt like writing, I wanted to express how i felt about this rush of work the I know we all are going though. Man this is getting crazy, Some classes are killing me now, and I was doing so good in them earlier on in the semest. on the other hand there are some classes where my grade has been good all the way across; gonna need that to stand strong in the presence of the classes that I may look kinda shoddy in. And Fin Aid's gonna be pissed, if I fail any of my classes than I wont be a full time student anymore and I'll lose my aid...I'm already on Academic warning and if my GPA isnt up to par I'll get Academic Probation...I think I'll be ok though, I might not have to worry about that one. I'm struggling and stressed but I'm not giving up. I'll make it somehow, God will make a way.

Thanksgiving Break
So last week was Thanksgiving Break, We all have alot to be thankful for but living life from day to day, doing the same mundane things over and over again, causes us to think that everything that we are so lucky to have from day to day is promised to us and that we deserve all that we have. I for one, stopped to realize all of the things, people and etc in my life that I am lucky to have and I'm so thankful for it all.
It was also good to see my family, the first day was alot of fun. I left around 3 pm on last tuesday, 64 was a little rough but I made it safely home around 6 or so. no one was there...I got a little worried because I wondered if they when to Maryland and forgot that I said I was coming home for Thanksgiving. They went shopping in Gloucester, came in around like 10 or 11. I met up wit everyone and saw one of my classic movies on Starz: Mighty Morphing Power Rangers the movie. Call it what you will but that was my favorite movie growing up, so I watched it for old times sake. I came home with my pockets looking right trife so I was looking forward to working with dad to make some money, but appearently even his business is being effected by the economy and he really didnt have any room for me to work with him, which was ok with me I had a trick up my sleeve. I call Mr.Kulpa, my HS band director, who now runs a printing company in Lottsburg, which is about a half an hour away from me. Hoping he had some room for me, but alas he told me he had nothing for me, he was flattered that I asked though. So I was stuck. What was I gonna do for money??(keep your dirty comments to yourself...that;s another story LMAO) I was stuck at the house alone, the kids went to school, the folks went to work. I started off just watching TV, DVR'ed some Inuyasha and watched some other shows, then I decided to clean the house a little, did the dishes, dumped the trash cans and the dog food, cleaned up the den, which has become my new HQ since I'm now forced to share a room with my little brother. I even stopped to play around on the piano a little, I noticed that I have a real gift to hear music of anykind and then reproduce it on the piano just like I heard it...only thing is I cant play it with both hands yet, I'm not ambidexterous and I can only control one hand on the keys at a time...but I believe with practice I could get that down pact. My sister came home first by then I was playing the game so she joined in, then my Brother and Mom came in at the same time so lil bro joined in the gaming, the three of us always do it like this, Brawl, Mario Kart, I showed them Bomberman they liked it, we always game and have a good time...had I known what the week would bring I woulda treasured this day more...various events happened in which I'm not at liberty to discuss here, I'll just say that rules were in place, and where they werent common sense shoulda took over...it didnt and long story short my sister was in a funk for the remainder of the break. Thanksgiving day came, me and lil bro helped mom in the kitchen because my sister was in her room and still in a funk. Dad did a little bit of work and me and lil bro played Mario kart in which he did actually beat me a couple of times...when it was time for the Thanksgiving dinner things were a little awkward because although everyone was there it was quiet because of the tension between the folks and my sister. everyone was gone exceot me and mom and we talked for a while, it was funny cause my mom is a trip, we talked about shows we like to watch and we talk about all sorts of other things from traveling to maturity and immaturity. I helped clean up and went back to playing the game with my brother, Dad even jumped in and played too for a while. The rest of the day was spent sleeping and in front of the TV but I had fun for sure. Friday dad found some work for me to do, I painted the ceiling of the den and went he came back home we all did some yard work. Me and Maurice(Scooter H) were sorting the truck and dad was working on a piece that goes to a roof. After a while I was to gather all of the copper just lying around the yard. It was a pain but it kept me busy and paid nicely, I also got money from cleaning the house wednesday so my pockets were healthy again but I needed to keep this money for a little bit longer, that and since the family didnt go anywhere neither did I so I chilled at the house made some phone calls and the like. saturday I was taken to te bank to get some money for my account that I use at school after that I went back home and chilled until dad came from work and mom came back from shopping. My sister was in her room still not comunitcating with us...we decided to go to Newport news and upgrade our phones and whatnot. So we did that and it killed my pockets... :( but the phone is niiiiiiiiice Verizon Voyager, I've wanted one every sicne they came out last year. The whole rest of the night was spent on playing with that. yesterday I came back to ODU after saying goodbye to my family...still no words from my sister...but anyways now I'm on the grind doing alla this work that is due this week. Expect to see more I think I'll start writing poetry seperate from this blog and occacationally bring some of it here for yall to see. I was inspired by some poetry I heard over the break, I used to write good poems and I think I can do even better now that I'm older and exposed to more things being more mature and whatnot. Well I dont know if anyone is reading these posts cause no one writes comments on my posts...to anyone out there that may be reading my posts, you can leave me comments, as long as they arent spam I'll approve it...I'm actually looking forward to some feedback...if not well then continue to enjoy the Life of the DJ2xway.
