Tonight I was watching the NBC Nightly News when they did a segment on a school district in Washington, D.C. that was paying its students for good behavior and good grades. The lady who was heading up the push for this program said that her school at one point had only 8% of it’s eighth [...]

If it’s not one thing…it’s another
My family never seems to be at rest for more than a week at a time, never. I love my parents and my brother, but as a family unit we can never seem to operate properly. My brother is 22 works in a local factory and still lives at home, though is in the process [...]

Ranting on Manners
*mounts soap-box and clears throat loudly*
I’ll make this short and to the point, because I don’t like talking about others. So here it is. Several times this week and last while eating dinner with Doug, we have set near a group of African-American students (about 8 of them) who show no sense of manners. In [...]

Short Ranting
Well, I am working my first weekend as I type this. Each office assistant is required to work 2 Saturdays out of the semester, and this is one of mine. I’m working with my friend Islam…well sorta. See, we’re supposed to work from 9am-2pm. I got here at 8:57, called the RA on call to [...]

Today I:

Bleh…
So I’ve recently had a toothache, as previously mentioned in my blog, and today I finally went to the dentist to have it looked at. Being that it was merely my 2nd time to ever go to a dentist, I was a bit nervous and unsure of what was to come. Well, the doctor was [...]

Toothaches = No Fun
So for the past like 3 – 4 days I’ve had the worst toothache I’ve ever had…ever. It’s been so bad, that at some points I’ve lost hours upon hours of sleep and study time; both of which are rather important in the life of a college student, depending on who you ask of course. [...]

Black Friday
Who in the world came up with this name? I loathe them for it… Today is probably my least favorite day. (Not today Nov. 23, 2007) Today as in The day After Thanksgiving. Today is a day where people go crazy over material items and Elmos, and clothing, and electronics….I hate it. I hate it [...]

Ever feel…
like everyone is kinda avoiding you?
I felt this way today..kinda. It seemed like the people I wanted to spend time with and talk to just had other things that they’d rather be doing, whether it be sleep, studying, eating, talking to someone else…anything other than talking to yours truly. I hate that feeling or sense [...]
