Assessing Ourselves

Well first of all I wish it could have been the spring semester because during the summer everything went by fast. Even though all of it was crammed into one month I still think I became a better writer because we had to write so many papers in so little time and it actually made me a stronger writer. It helped me out because I knew that I didnt have the luxury of missing one assignment, even though I did miss the first one, you have to be on top of everything in order to pass the class. You cant really slack off. It made me a much more responsible person. One reason was because the assignments are all so close to each other. Once you finish one you have to start on the other one. I guess it kept me in a good rythm with class work. Because after writting one paper I had to start another one. So far I’ve accomplish what I wanted in the class and thats pass. So far I’m on a good track. Also I now know that I can actually take on many assignment in such a short time. Especially since I have two classes this summer.

Connecting

Well I clicked on the first name of the blogroll for our class and it was A.J. and I just read his last blog which was soundtrack of my life. I gotta say I like almost half of his songs. I’m more of  a ol school kind a guy. I agree why do we have to embarass ourselves but at least he was honest and put down the songs that came up on shuffle. I kind of cheated in a way because I had the recently played playlist. So none of the embarrasing songs came up. Fheww lucky me. One quick question for A.J. did you grow up in Florida because most of his songs remind him of something that happened in Florida. It seems like he has a good taste in music so we could become friends. I also like the fact that he actually has a memory for what happened for each song. It seems like he keeps it real too. He wrote whatever he felt like writting or whatever the song reminded him of. We only got one song in common that came up and that was Justin Timberlake’s What Goes Around…Comes Around. And yes that is a hell of a video with Scarlett, damn Justin is a lucky bastard.

Cleaning House

I clean my room once in a while. It usually takes my at least half a day to clean my room but I can never really finish cleaning. I get started and then I get bored so I stop. Everytime I clean I throw a lot of stuff to the trash. One of the main reasons I take so long to clean my room is I look at some of the stuff I throw away and start thinking why in the heck did I have this in the first place. If I remove something I usually dont replace with something else because I like to have plenty of space as I can. I mean I think my room is small as it is so why would I keep adding crap to it. Cleaning under my bed is always interesting. I dont know where in the world I get so much junk under my damn bed. One thing you will never find is food I dont eat in my room. I find quite a bit of memories piled up in my room everytime I clean from gifts from family to girlfriends and to random crap I buy.

When I Grow Up

I know when we are in college we are supposed to act like adults, as a matter of fact they consider us adults, but I think Im still young and I admit I still act childish once in a while. When I was growing up I always dreamed of becoming a professional soccer player, playing either in Spain, England, or Italy but it never happened. One because I got injured and two I’d rather follow my other dream, which was becoming an architect. Im still pursuing that dream now. Hopefully one day I become an architect. Ever since I was a little kid I’ve been wanting to be one if I did not make it in soccer. Maybe because I like drawing and they get paid well. Many people have suggested other careers but luckly I’ve stuck with this one. I never did question wheter I wanted to be one something told me that I was going to be one and thankfully Im still working on that. But I still play soccer quite often, with my friends. It something I love doing ever since I can remember I’ve always had a soccer ball at my feet.

In The News…

This past week I heard about the big health reform problem that’s been having heated discussions in the nations capital. President Obama is proposing a health-care-reform to make health care affordable to millions of Americans. I think this is a really important topic right now because we are in such a economic crisis that many people cant really afford health care. I believe it will take a lot for President Obama’s proposal to go through because its just a delicate subject. Whatever proposal goes through has to satisfy both consumer and provider. Besides many people are against a health care reform plan, especially doctors and hospital since they rates are so low it wil be like taking in a person with Medicaid, low low rates. There stories that do impact our lives for example 9/11, it impacted everybody who had  a loved one inside the World Trade Center. Sometimes you may see something similar on the news that could have happened to you so you would know how it feels. I remember when there was a huge earthquake back in El Salvador in 2006, I believe, it affected our family because it happened where my grandma lives. Even though the earthquake was in El Salvador it still had an affect on us because we wanted to know how my grandma was doing.

On Self-Destruct

I tend to live my life drama free so I’d have to say I hardly ever self-desruct. Maybe when I use to play club and high school soccer I would come close to self-destructing but I really didnt because I cant hold grudges against myself. I believe you cant always be holding on to stuff or things you’ve done in the past, they happen for a reason and if its a bad thing then just learn from your mistakes. If I can recall the last time I felt like this was maybe my first semester of college when I was’nt doing to good in school. I felt like crap because I was just not getting the grades I wanted so I’d just lay down in bed at night and think about how bad I was doing. But that did’nt last too long because I started doing way much better my second semester. Like I said we all gotta learn how to deal with our problems and we gotta learn from our mistakes. But that’s probably the closest I’ve ever come to self destructing.
