my day!

Today, I woke up at 6:30. I was very cold and tired, didn't feel like waking up. I had to roll myself out of bed, and get out of the house by 7:30. It wasn't a great feeling, but its something that needed to be done. I had a presentation today, and it was with some team members. We didn't discuss anything before hand so had to pull it together on the spot. It was a little hard but we did it. The professor always loves to put us on the spot for some reason. There was this one guy, also who kept going with questions. He was trying to be such a smart ass! He kept going on with questions and everyone just wanted him to shut the hell up. It was a very tiring day, because I had to be in Brooklyn after. I just want to crawl into bed and sleep! :)

guys

Guys are so damn difficult. I have heard so many stories from so many different people. My man is this way, my man is that way. Why do guys complicate things for themselves? They just like to make lie after lie to cover things up. I don't understand how it can be so easy for them. I know there are a lot of girls that do the same, but guys have made a habit out of it. I don't think its cool to play with a girls heart. If you don't like her, let her know right there. There is no need to drag it on. They also have to understand, what goes around comes around. Trust me, it will happen to you guys so watch out! Don't play with a girl's heart!

COLD!

I woke up this morning freezing. Winter came too early this time. I wasn't expecting it to become cold this soon. I woke up, feeling like I wanted to stay in bed all day. I had to wake up at 6 to get ready for class. It's not as bad as when it's December and the air is frisk outside, but it was pretty windy. I live in Long Island so the weather is much more cold here because there are no buildings for the air to go through. I'm hoping the weather becomes a bit warmer, but when that happens, people get sick left and right. I hope this winter is not that bad, but from judging with how it is now, seems like a long and cold winter!

Tired

It's been a long day. I have been running around a day. I was with my brother in the morning, running to his job to pick up things. I had to, then go and pick up my dads car, which still hasn't got fixed. I also had to wait for my mom to get back, so I can then take her to brooklyn. We were there for a little while. My cousin came to visit, we had to fix our house out there, and that was it. It rained like crazy, but we got back here safe. Now, I am sitting down, and finishing my posts, and doing the homeworks I missed. Oh WHAT A DAY!

Devry

I haven't been on e-college or really been able to do any of my work. This is because Devry decided to disable my e-college account. They did this because they thought that I was dismissed from school because of attendance. I was so mad, because when this problem happened last session, I made sure to fix this problem.I called people left and right, and no one would fix the problem. This really got me mad, because this session, I am trying so hard to stay on track, and how do I do that if I can't get to my work. I finally got it fixed and got to my work. I realized that I am behind, and hate that feeling because I don't know what I have to do. I have 2 midterms this week, and have a lot of studying to do. I think this college needs to get it self together, and then we get blamed if we fall behind and fail, when it's their faults.

obesity

There are many people that are obese in the United States. I think this has to do with the lack of exercise, and the fast food restaurants that we have. People have stopped caring about their health. They keep saying how people should accept them for who they are. My concern is not how the person looks, but what the weight can do to their health. There are steps being taken to have this under control, but nothing can be done, if the person them self don't want to lose the weight. I have seen a lot of talk shows where these woman come on, and say how they want to gain more weight, which I find to be ridiculous. I don't understand where these woman come off to have an attitude like that, when this weight can kill them.

fasting

I have been fasting for this month, and it's coming to an end. My holiday, Eid is actually coming up. I have been bugging my mother to get me a new dress for the longest time.This month hasn't actually been so bad. It's actually good, because we lose weight. We actually fast, for 30 days. Fasting for these 30 days, is actually part of the 5 pillars of islam. Every muslim has to fast for these 30 days. The five pillars in islam, are actually to give zakat, which is charity, to make a pilgrimmage to Mecca, to fast during the holy month of ramadan, to believe in Allah and his messenger, and to pray 5 times a day.

Crime Fighting TV Shows

I love to watch these crime fighting TV shows. They are very interesting depending on the type of show it is. My favorite show is NCIS. It's very interesting, and so are the characters. They have the main characters being Agent Gibbs, Tony, McGee, and Kate. These are actually the old episodes. I know it seems lame to write about a TV show, but I'm actually watching it now. There are also the other shows such as Law and Order. I guess I find these shows interesting because they have suspense, and they keep you wondering until the end. You think that one person committed the crime, and you find out that the person who actually committed the crime, would have been the least likely to do something like that.

Remembering September 11

Today is a very big day for many people. This day, 8 years ago, the twin towers came down. It was a very sad ordeal for everyone. I still can't believe that this actually happened. I remember what I was doing that day. I was actually in Math class, in junior high school. We were sitting down, when my math teacher came over and said, the twin towers came down. Everyone from my class was astonished, because no one has ever expected such a thing to happen. I remembered my dad had meetings there from time, to time. My dad was also sick these days, because of seizures he had been having. I was so scared, but the second school was out, I ran home, so quick and bugged my mom, on where my dad was. I was so relieved to find out he was okay, and home. The sadness that came over me for the people who had lost their loved ones was overwhelming. How can anyone take so many people's lives like that. It's ridiculous. They were innocent! All we can do today is have a moment of silence for the people who lost their lives, and remember them! :(

The dog experience

We actually got our dog about 6 years ago. It's a funny story how we came to get our dog. We went to an adoption center in Nassau County. It was me, my bro, my sis, and my dad. It was my sister's birthday, and she had been bugging my dad to get a dog for the longest time. My dad finally agreed, and we didn't tell our mom about it. We picked out the cutest little Shepard coli mix they had. We were at the front adopting the puppy, and they had to call my house, and talk to my mom about where this dog would be living. In our head, we were thinking that we would take our dog home and surprise my mom, and she wouldn't be able to say no. When they called, she had no idea what was going on, and she said hell no, is any dog coming to my house. We were so upset, because we couldn't get the dog since my mom said no. We stood outside, and my dad called my mom, aggravated. Turned out my mom called them back and gave them the OK, and we came home with our dog. It was a win win situation, I guess you can say...

Going Out...

Yesterday, me, my brother, sister, and his friends went out. We thought it would be fun to go around the city, onlabor day, since there wouldn't be much traffic. We went to China Town, and went shopping for a bit, which wasn't bad. We also went to J& R which was a big mistake because I was stuck in he car for almost an hour. Don't send guys into an electronics store alone, they will never come out. They had finally come out, and it was the end of the day, now it was time to eat. Everyone had their own opinions on what they wanted to eat. We had finally decided on what we were going to eat. We decided to go on Queens Blvd, to a thai restaurant. That ended our day.

The parrot

Me and my sister actually bought a parrot last year, and we thought it would be all fun and games. In the beginning the parrot was friendly enough to at least sit on my sister's shoulders and play around. It would take walks with her outside of our house, and it would just be good. The parrot is a girl herself, and she hates men. If a man would go even close to her, she would start to attack, so we kept everyone away from her. Some time started going by, and the parrot that was close to my sister now was very frisky. It would start to bite my sister now which it would never do. It just came to a point where she would have to stay in her cage. One day I was trying to be a brave thing, and was trying to pet the parrot through the cage, now mind you, this parrot is a cockatoo, a big white one with yellow feathers on the top of it's head. I'm petting her, and she is okay, and all of a sudden her beak changed to my direction, and she grabbed on to my finger. I had to pull it out of her mouth, she ripped a whole part of my finger off. It was bleeding profusely. That parrot definitely needed some training after that. Guess you can say this was a story about when parrots go bad...

my first day of class

Today was my first day of speech275. I didn't think I would enjoy it because I hate public speaking. I knew that the professor would be cool because my sister had her before. I actually enjoyed this class more than I assumed I would. The classmates are friendly and everyone is nice. I enjoyed the conversations that everyone had in class, and the discussion topics, especially about homeless people on the train, and how many of them are really homeless. It is hard to tell, if we really think about it. Some of them do it for drugs and booze, while other's really do need the money to survive. I guess you need to have good instincts or just ignore them, which isn't the most polite thing to do.
