My Passion

A passion that I have is astrology. That can be both bad and good. Astrology is the study of the movements and relative positions of celestial bodies interpreted as having an influence on human affairs and the natural world. Since I was young, I was into the zodiac signs. Every Sunday when my grandmother received the newspaper, I would go straight to the back of the paper to read the horoscope section. My mother owns a horoscope book and I would read up on the signs. I believe it's good because I know how things can work out between me and other signs. It can also be bad because there's a lot of different beliefs and judgement about the signs too.

CRR

Right now, we're writing our essays on A Midsummer Night's Dream. I feel like my essay was good the way it was but there was a complaint that my essay wasn't two pages long. I was told I could connect it back to Othello and Romeo and Juliet but I couldn't figure out how. It's times like this that I miss BAM so that we wouldn't have to write in class. I just can't wait  until this is all over.

Procrastination (SSR)

As I sat here thinking of what to blog about, I became mad. I didn't know what to write and it's the day before senior trip. I have to wake up at 5:15am to make it to the bus on time and it's 11:45 and I'm awake blogging. The only person I can blame for this is myself because I procrastinate too much. I have always waited until the last minute to get things done. I didn't even mention that I knew about my trip for months and just decided today to shop and pack my suitcase.

I have a project due every Tuesday for Ms. Tomlin and I always wait until Monday night to get it done. I try to make changes to my bad habits but it's so hard. Sometimes I think I work better under pressure but time and energy is never on my side. Time management is important in college so I'm trying to change my ways now. I won't give up on myself though.

BAM (CRR)

When  asked the question if the class should read Hamlet together or do the BAM program, I was one of the people who voted 'no' for BAM. Acting has never been my thing. I am too shy to stand up in front of people and do anything. Although, when the program did start and we were first introduced to WT, I loved the game of 'Yosemite'. I would usually look forward to playing it because that's the only thing I was in favor of doing. I was even able to win a game of Yosemite and it felt great.

However, I did enjoy the performances. Of course we had the best performances but everyone else did good too. I loved how one of the schools had the whole class participate. They went up and did something I couldn't see myself doing. Overall, BAM wasn't that bad and sometimes I miss it.

Another Class

I am so excited to be doing my upcoming project for my economic class. We will be working on a project that is going to help us out later in life. I also appreciate the fact that she split the project up. We have to come up with a real career that works with our GPA. We decided if we wanted a partner (marriage) or not and were given a number of children and income.

Thank God that my partner and I, Fanta, were given no children. We chose to have a teacup yorkshire terrier and that's it. We are able to bring our incomes together and spend it on important things other than children. Now we just need to figure out where we are going to live and the transportation we are going to need. I can't wait until the project is over so I can see how we worked it out with our incomes and needs.

The Greatest Rapper of All Time

I absolutely can not wait until March 23, 2015! You may be wondering what's so special about the date and I'm here to tell you. That is the day that Kendrick Lamar's long awaited album will be releasing. His last album, 'Good Kid M.A.A.D City' which went platinum came out October of 2012 and is considered to be a classic. It was said that he was going to release his next album in September of 2014. That never happened. Then he announced the album will be released before 2015. Once again that didn't happen.

Last night he released what the album cover looks like and said there are 17 songs on the album. But yet, the album is still 'Untitled'. I'm eager to know the name of the album and hear the greatness that will come from it. I hope it's worth the wait and can go platinum because he deserves it. A look at the album is below:

 

Other Classes

In my College Readiness class with Ms. Young, we have a project due March 12th. She was teaching us how to do MLA citations because she says they will be used in college. We used about 10 articles to write citations about, along with a who, what, when, why, and how. We also watched "Do The Right Thing" directed and starring Spike Lee. It's a movie about Black and Latinos being against the Italians and Koreans in their Brooklyn hood.

Ms. Young wants us to do two different parts of a Power Point presentation and send it to her. One will be based on our citations and the articles while the other will be based on the Spike Lee movie. I don't really remember most of the movie. I also don't want to do the project. I have no choice but to do it though.
