Losing my way

God, help me.

So many people have already finished school and I want to be one of them. But that cannot happen for I still have 5 weeks of Hell left. I'm starting to gradually lose focus and concentration after each week. I'm drained, and I don't think I can find anymore inspiration to fill the void. I remember seeing Andre's quote, "Forever Stay Focused," and I thought it might be possible. But if there's constant work in front of you, then that concept might never escape the world of idealism. It's one of those things you'd like to think of, but never fully execute. I know I always say "I gotta grind, I gotta hustle" and all that shit, but I realized that half the time I'm half-assing. Only a few times this school year have I truly felt I put everything I got into a piece of work. I feel that I've slacked off little by little, and now it has started to roll down the hill pessimism into one giant hollow snowball. I guess the best I can do now is strategize the five weeks I have left and see what I can do to keep my GPA.

Two A's, and two B's. Yeah, that might work out.



So help me, God,

Summer, what the fuck? Get over here already!

Ok, so another month has passed since I last blogged. So whoop there it is! Here's another monthly essay of shit!

I can't wait for the summer already! I just finished my fifth week of Spring Quarter at De Anza and it has gone by so quick. I have to say, this quarter is my hardest one yet. I'm taking a Physical Anthropology class which is pretty interesting. My teacher is straight up African and look like a cross between Mr. Schuler and Dave Chappelle haha. He's already one of my favorite teachers! I'm also taking Physical Geography which is half the time interesting. It's weird though because it seems we learn a lot about meteorology. I also have an art class that's on Tues./Thurs. for 2 hours and 40 minutes, but he usually lets us out 25 minutes early. That class is hella fun and easily forreal! And I'm also taking an English writing class that is basically another fuckin' physical anthropology class since our discussion is based around Darwin's books on the theory of evolution. The class is cool, but I have a drill seargent for a professor :[ I swear, he has the craziest MANtrums.

Por ejemplo: the class wasn't really discussing the assigned reading so he gave us a pop quiz. Some of us, including myself, didn't read so he just took our blank sheets of paper and basically went off saying shit like, "Are you too fucking busy to do your homework or something?" blah blah blah. So he was pretty much pissed. The ones who didn't read had to stay and read as much of the Descent of Man until he let us out. When he finally did, he was saying shit like, "I know you guys are busy with other things, but you gotta find a way to finish the readings because it'll greatly help you with your midterm papers" blah blah blah. I was like WHOA, did this nigga just turned on us?! He's like the second coming of Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde! But besides his uncontrollable bitching, he's a cool teacher who knows his shit. You can tell that this jiggaboo is hella smart.

OK, enough about school. Let me get back to how excited I am for summer '09! I have a feeling that this summer is going to be out of fuckin' control! I could already see it: concerts at Shoreline and Arco (The Fray, Beyonce, No Doubt please!), bbqs in the hood with lawn chairs of all sorts, bowling 'til the AM without getting in trouble for once tehehe, breakfast ;), OH SHAWWWING to the max! haha, sleeping in, open gym volleyball everywhere nigga!, making THEE videos, chill sessions, hookah, Grey Goose haha, Fowler, deep conversations, all-nighters with the downass bitches, hopefully an LA trip!, summer blockbusters, more financial aid money! hahah, riding around with the longboarders on my BEACH CRUISER hollleration!, my siblings' birthdays, kites!, TARGETTTT, BEAAACHHES with the bitches, mall hopping when the weather starts to fuckin' frizz the weave, ETC AND ETC. I live for the summmmaaaaaa time in the SJCC DAWGZ.

In other news, I'm going to MP's prom with my FOB SISTAH SELLYSELL! How fun is that shit gonna be?! I need some cash for my blazer and shoes though yikes! But it'll work out itself :]

I'm gonna ref with CRAZYASSS BITCH CHRISTLE BALTAZAR at Battle of the Tribes yeee! That's gonna be HELLLA FUN too! I just hope we don't ref Evergreen's team eeeeeek :[ that'll be alll booootsie!

ummmmz, I think that's it for now. But prom and BOTT hella remind me that summer is just around the corner. And I'm going to welcome it with open arms.

impatiently waiting,
