Senioritis 1/31/2012

So I was supposed to stay after school today, but I didn't because my step father had to work so I had to come home after school. So now I am left with the job of babysitting my younger siblings. I am so afraid to get my report card because I know that I didn't do well second quarter, which only means that I have to do even better third quarter. I know that I may have at least 2 D's and 1 C. I know that last quarter was hard for me and I was under a lot of stress, but I am not going to make up any excuses because I could have worked harder.

 

Finished reading the 1/30/2012

I finished reading the Hunger Games and i am completely in love with it. After all it does kind of remind me of Twilight, but not by much. I love this book and i plan to read the rest of the trilogy. I overal, love the plot and theme of the book and how it had a twist to it at the end. I love it.

Hunge Games 1/29/2012

Over all my favorite character from the hunger games is Rue. Rue reminds me of someone who is forced to grow up and face the harsh reality that the world has to offer. Rue is so sweet, loving, fierce, musical, and trustworthy. As i was reading the the book up to Part 111 "The Victor", Rues death hit me the hardest because i think that Katniss was comparing her to Prim. Overall I love Rues character and i can only hope that they portray her well in the movie.

1/28/2012

I spent today cleaning up and reading the Hunger Games and i also watched my mother work in her homework. Other that then that i think that the book is becoming more and more interesting. I am really starting to like this book, and i would recommend this to anyone. Other then that i spent the day reading the hunger games, doing my homework, and playing just dance 3.

1/27/2011

Today i had an interview with the youth works people and think that the interview went well. And i spent the day with my father, other then that, that is all that i did today.

Getting prepared for the interview.....1/26/2012

Today i uploaded and upgraded my Resume for my job interview tomorrow. My father hopes that i get a job working in recreations and parks, but to be honest with you i don't really want to work with kids. So in order for me to be prepared for this interview that i have tomorrow at 9am i had to copy my birth certificate, SSN, and my school ID. Although i will not be in school tomorrow i let my teachers know a head of time. Well at least not all of them. So i just hope and pray that i get a job within my mother and fathers reach.

Recrea who? 1/25/2012

So today I talked to my good friend Yemi and she told me that my character dies in an explosion. WHAT!!! Why didn't anyone tell me before that my character dies. Other then that my day was pretty mundane, except for the the fact that it went by fast. And also my father called and informed that he wants me and my sister to work together for the summer, at CC Jackson Recreation center. Now don't get me wrong i love kids, but honesty i worked at a recreation center last year and those kids were BAD!!! They tell you what to do  and how to do it, they are just horrible, now don't get me wrong, some of the kids there was nice and we got to go on fun trips. But i don't want to work in recreations and parks. Well i guess that i shouldn't complain because if it wasn't for god and my father i wouldn't really have a job for the summer so Thank You Jesus.... :-)

1/24/2012

Today was like all of the others except for the fact that i had a new class which was EPI, which seems like it is going to be an ok class. In AVID Dona gave each person in my class a character from the Hunger Games book and i have Madge Undersee, who is the mayor's daughter. She also gives Katniss a pin with an mocking jay on it, just before Katnis leaves for the capital. I don't know how i compare to Madge, other then the fact that she is generous and i don't know what else. So for now i will have to read the rest of the trilogy in order to understand better.

1/23/2012

Today is another no meat Monday and we ate some yummy home made omelette's for breakfast and Salmon and rice for dinner. I went to BCCC with my mother, so that she can pick up her books for this semester's classes and my mother brought me a BCCC purple jacket and my sister a purse. She also got herself the same jacket with black sweat pants. On the ride home my mother told about how I was inspiring her and how i made college seem so exciting. She said that she is proud to have me as a daughter, which really meant something to me. 

And the Ravens lost :-( 1-22-21012

So today was a very much pumped day...... It was all about the ravens. And then they lost, my mom made her special chili and rice which was oh so good. Other then that the ravens lost and my mother cried. We were so close and then Cundiff had to miss it...... I think the ravens won't have that much fans next year... and that is the reason why i don't get that into sports like that.

Snow? 1/21/2012

So today I woke up to snow in my backyard, and boy does it look pretty. I like the way that snow looks at night, it is as if it glistens into little crystals and in the morning it looks even better. Other then that i spent all day looking for scholarships to apply to, but the only one that i applied to was www.usbank.com/studentbanking and i will here from them within 30 days for the confirmation. So in all i applied to 3 out of 10 scholarships. And i am feeling less and less stressed and more blessed. I guess the only thing that i had to do was to calm myself down and trust and believe in the lord to make everything better. Overall i had a pretty cool day, i played just dance 3 which was a work out session.

1/20/2012

So today i am totally stressed because today is the last day for me to make up any late work and why didn't i go to school on Wednesday. I could have gotten my grades up by then and i wouldn't be so stressed. I so want to just get high school over with and start my journey to college. I just looked at my grades for all of classes and i am seriously about to drop AP psychology because i can't take it anymore. I am so stressed and on top of that i have driving school next month, to add to this chaos. The only plus that i have is that i have successfully applied to two scholarships, i did 2 out of 10.

1/19/2012

So today was just another mundane day and i just want to sleep. I didn't want to go to school because i just didn't want to, but i reluctantly did. I guess i am starting to suffer from senioritist. I don't know why, but my spark just seemed as if it busted. I need to find a way to relight it and regain my spark again.

Missed doctors appointment 1/18/2012

So today me and my two other siblings didn't go to school because we had a doctors appointment and what do you know, by the time that we got there my doctor wasn't there. And boy was my mother heated, she was soo mad because Sinai Hospital is far from Baltimore County and she said that she wasted a lot of gas(we had to reschedule). So now my mother has to make us an absent note because the man at the desk wouldn't give her any. Other then that i went over my grandmothers house and raided her freezer and i got some some red hot sausages to take home. Yummm....

1/17/2012

Today was a crazy day not only did one of my good friend leave and move to alabama unexpectedly, but also I worked on the first half of my health final exam. Other then that today was ok and I am also going to watch brides maids because my friend Jervonne suggested that I watch it.

1/16/2012

Today was somewhat of a normal day because I mostly spent it searching for scholarships. And also me and my mother talked about how if I go to the university of Baltimore it would be more cheaper. The reason is that my mother thinks that Stevenson cost too much and I am going to have to rely on fasfa to see how much that I am going to have to get via scholarship money other than that today was no meat Monday. And we ate samon and rice for dinner. Other than that I had a pretty mundane day.

Yippiee the ravens won 1/15/2012

So the ravens won today yippee, other than that i helped my grandmother cook baked mac and cheese, fried chicken, sweet bread, and rice. I think that everything came along pretty well and not only was myself and my cousin rooting for the Texans, the food was right on point. So yes as we all know that the ravens won this game, and I'm not knocking the ravens, but i don't really like football so Hey! Other than that i had a awesome day with just me and my family, laughing, goofing off, and watching the game.

forgiveness 1/14/2012

So today i talked to my father about something personal and it got way out of hand to the point that we were both crying. I didn't know that i was going to get out of hand like that, if i knew that it was going to happen, i wouldn't have said anything. But in the end we forgave each other, so all of that drama that we had before was squashed. Other than that i felt awful today and not only that but me and my sister had to get our license renewed, but we brought in the wrong things for it so we have to wait until next weekend and we also have a job interview within two weeks for the youth works program.
 

Getting Great Advice 1/13/2012

So today after school i helped my youngest sister make her first dish which was baked ranch chicken. And it looked delicious and although i wasn't home to enjoy it's deliciousness, I'm pretty sure that it was yummy. And also today i went over my fathers house. And i was able to talk to my cousin about college and she gave me really good advice which was "Your not gonna get hazed, just because your a freshman. lol". I was scared that when i got to college that the upper class men were going to prank us freshman's. I know silly right? My cousin said that they wouldn't even be worried about us freshman's.

Vampire Diaries 1/12/2012

Today was an awesome day because my favorite show called "Vampire Diaries" was on. And it was awesome, i loved the way that Stefan had to get his point across to clouse. By almost killing Elena and turning her into a vampire. I also think that there is a secret love affection going between Elena and Damon, but Elena doesn't want to admit it. Overall my day was pretty much the same as always and i thank god for allowing me to see another beautiful day.
 

Feeling like a new me.….… 1/11/2012

Today I woke up feeling like a new person. I just felt like a big weight have been lifted off my shoulders. I took a bath while listening to my twilight sound track in the background. I just felt so good, I ate breakfast while singing old church songs to my sister and we both started laughing. And also I asked my stepfather to fix the washing machine so that we can wash clothes. And he a agreed to do so. But overall today I felt so good.

Debates 1/10/2012

Today in AVID we had a debate about racism. To me i agree with everyone, i think that us as black people degrade ourselves by listening to the things that we do and acting on it. We as African American's have a habit of hyping up situation that already make us look bad. Instead of rappers rapping about real life things and encouraging kids to go to school and becoming better people, they are rapping about illiterate things like being in a gang and or living in the hood. I think that there is nothing special about living in the projects and repping it as if it is what defines you. Yes i am from the city and yes my parents were born and raised in park heights, but whats so special about it? Is the hood helping you with anything, is it paying your bills, is it helping you in school, and or is it getting you through college? I think Not!! I think some people just like to say it because they think that it is cool and i am willing to bet that none of those kids who say that they are from the projects, would last a whole day there. My mother moved to the county in order to give me and my siblings a better education. And us as African American's cannot expect to get things handed to us just because of our skin tone, but because we worked hard for it.

What to do now? /9/2011

So I am officially stressed because I have been trying to get in touch with my father all yesterday and yet he was no where to be found. My grandmother told me that she hasn't seen him since 3 Saturday evening. And I am starting to get worried and mad because my father told me that he was going to help me with my fasfa. And I need some of his info and he's making it seem like its no big deal when it actually is. I told my mother and she said that if he screw me over she was going to get him. And I'm stressed because I don't want to start any trouble. So I talked to my good friend Ebe and she gave me really good advice which was to keep calling him until he can't take it anymore and tell him how I feel and what needs to be done.


So just a few hours ago I talked to my dad and he apologized so I don't know whether to believe it or not.

1/8/2012

So today i got my nails done, dropped my little cousin Tristan off home, and made homemade chili hot dogs. When i went over my aunts house to drop off my cousin, my mother and her sisters started to reminisce about there past,which led them to talking about how they were treated when they were children and also about there ex boyfriends. I already know about about how my mother was put out when she was 17 because she had me. So my grandmother put my mother clothes into two big trash bags,  sat them on the porch and made her move out. So my mother then moved in with my aunt. Anyway they all laughed about the past relationships and were they thought there exes were now. Other than that i had an ok day with my mother and sisters.

Scary movies 1/7/2012

So toady while my mother was getting her hair done by my aunt, we all sat down and watched scary movies and knowing myself (i abhor scary movies) i was scared. So we watched Let Me In, which wasn't that scary because me and my sister watched it before. And then they watched Someone Help Me 2, and i went upstairs and updated my fasfa because i wasn't going to sit there and be scared (once again i am a chicken). Other than that after being confused by my step father and cousin, i finally understand that i am dependent ( my father files me and my sister for taxes) and that i need my father ssn and his date of birth (don't judge me).

What a lovely day 1/6/2012

Today was definitely better than yesterday because myself and Ebe presented our project to our AP Biology class. And I think that it was successful and in avid I feel that I got to know the members in my house a little more. Even they can be cocky they all mean well and besides it is a competition. Other than that I had an awesome day, and I can't believe that I am blogging from my iPod which is really amazing because i found a blogger app so I can just blog about something in my iPod and it will be sent to my official blog. I also took a picture this morning of the beautiful sun rise.

1/5/2012

Today was an ok day, I think first period was the only period that actually kept me awake. Myself and partner Ebe finished our project early in class :). Other than that the rest of my day in school was pretty boring and it was filled with lectures and substitute work.

My Toast for Change 1/4/2012

I will break my family cyle, all of the women on my mothers side of the family dropped out of high school when they were 17 (including my mother) because they all got pregnant. I will be the first grandchild on my mothers side of the family to graduate high school and go straight to college afterwards. All of my other cousins either dropped out, gotten there GED, and or have been arrested. I will show my younger siblings that although high school can be a struggle, it is possible.

1/3/2012

So today was unlike another day at school except for the fact that i had forgotten to do my homework for one of my classes that is worth a lot a points towards my grade. I thank god that it is not due until Wednesday,and i almost finished it. So when i got home i made spaghetti with chili powder and with my newest secret ingredient. So far today was pretty mundane and the only thing i worked on was my hw for AP Psychology and AP Bio which is a project that we have to do on Protist.

1/2/2012

So today i didn't do anything except for clean up the house after my cousin left to go home. And I also talked to my cousin about some personal issues that are going on in my life at this moment and about how i wish that my father would change his ways. My cousin already has an idea on what she's going to do in and after college. And that made me realize that i only had few months in order to get myself together..

It's the new years 1/1/2012

Happy new years.....So today is new years and my cousin cinnomin came over to spend the day with myself and my sister. We had a lot of fun, first i beat her in the Twilight saga New Moon board game and then we played monopoly. And we had no idea what we were doing so we stopped and we tried to find something on netflixtp watch, which was a bad idea because we couldn't agree on anything. And yet other than that we wounded up watching America's supper nanny and i fell asleep. My new years resolution is to build a better relationship with god, make my parents proud, graduate and make it to Stevenson with no hassle.
