Hello everybody!
Greetings from yuklguy;sfyu;yhufr i am upside down
hahahahah my friends here are crazy ^^see above^^
I was writing today during one of my classes (i know, way to zone into something completely different, right?) But I decided that I've neglected my lj for too long and so here it is..
"I've decided to start this journal of sorts so as to record any thoughts or events which I deem worthy of mention. I do have to apologize, though, because even as I begin to write, I know I will not be writing every single day (unless, of course, the thrills of my college life exponentially grow). This is my second month of college, therefore I don't have enough time or motivation to recall and write everything that's happened thus far, but the more important/interesting events will inevitably come up in future entries.
"What I can say right now about college (between notetaking and listening in my Freshman Seminar here at Penn) is that it's a very necessary experience. At this point in your life you are invited from all around to justify who you are, to explain why you hold your beliefs, to challenge how well you can live on your own. You push your limits - how long can you go without sleep? How long can you wait to write that paper? How many times can you wear the same pants to avoid laundry?
"In all seriousness though, college is a great experience that everyone should experience. Although you may do things or come up with ideas that contradict previously held beliefs/ideas/theories, this only adds a key element to the growing-up process. Even though I've just begun this journey in college, I am already sure that because of these four years of education and independence I will be able to define myself more clearly and more definitively in the conclusion of this chapter in my life."
That is all for now... Have a good time at school everyone!!

So here I am in Philadelphia, indulging in the New Student Orientation events that have been programed for this week until Tuesday of next week. I am so excited to be in COLLEGE! I absolutely love it here. Today it's raining on and off, and let me remind you that I have no car and I must therefore walk to wherever I need to be. I LOVE IT. The walking, the rain, the clouds, the trees, the new people (in particular my floor, and even more specifically the Californians on my floor), the feeling of adventure every time i leave my dorm to do absolutely anything... it's all so new and thrilling. The buildings are beautiful from the outside and exquisite on the inside. I can't wait to start classes.
But then again, I guess I can...

Hello everybody! I haven't posted in what seems like ages. I've been so busy with hustling and bustling that lj just seemed so unimportant. But now that I HAVE A NEW COMPUTER I can spend time writing/typing whatever I want on this thing. Please disregard any typos in this entry - I'm still trying to break myself from the whole PC mentality. I love this computer (MacBook Pro, 15.4 inches) and it's so fast. =D
In today's news, I woke up really early to take my sisters to Monroe high school for an AP readiness program they're taking (speaking of which, I have to remember to buy my sister notecards for her class). After that, I met up with Geoff and had breakfast at IHOP. This was planned during the course of an AIM session that was no more than 20 minutes in length. We got down to business. For anyone that wants to hang out before I leave (I leave the 29th [next Tuesday] by the way) you can call or instant message me or comment on one of the many websites. I hope I can see people but my week is already getting busier than I had anticipated... =/
In ongoing news, I can't believe that I'll be leaving in exactly a week from right now... I still haven't packed any of my clothes, I still have to talk to my roommate (who's an Orthodox Jew, btw, it should be an interesting year... I'm actually really looking forward to it). I don't even want to think about the future right now because I don't know if I can handle it. I'm pretty comfortable where I am right now in the whole scheme of things, but I also get very excited thinking about the new experience that college will be... eeeek!
Anyway, I hope everyones is having a great summer... i love you all.

One thing that has become more and more of a pet peeve to me: when people talk badly about an organization I am a part of.
One may think that this is because of the time and effort I have invested into the organization, and this is true to an extent. Other than that, though, the people who talk badly about these organizations usually have no concept as to how much time and effort is afforded to the club/group. They are generally talking trash based on gossip they have heard, misconceptions they have based on blinded observation, or just plain ignorance. When you have been involved in a group and tried to make it a success, then and only then may you talk about the faults and shortcomings of the group to other people who are also involved in the group. If you are truly trying to make the group a success, your talk will include ideas to improve those areas in which improvement is necessary. If you are not in the above category, then you have no right to talk of something of which you know nothing, or only very little of, especially to others who don't know otherwise about what you are saying. If you do, there is a great possibility that you will be involved in slander. This is not good and upsets the people who are involved in the group you are talking about because they will eventually hear of what you have said. Guaranteed. People gossip. It's a fact.
What's more upsetting is when these people who talk trash about a group without knowledge of its struggles, improvements, and success are adults. It's a horrible feeling when you want to bash the heads of people the same age as your parents because they have insulted you and a part of what you stand for very strongly. It's very depressing when people much older than you show less signs of intelligence than the person you were when you were five.
Anyway, fifteen more days... I don't want to leave.

In about 8 hours I will be in LAX, plunging my way through security and awaiting my flight to Argentina.
This means no Amy until July 24th. I know. Boo hoo... =D
I'm really stoked and am almost completely packed and therefore choose to avoid the completion of such a simple task by logging onto this black hole of time. I'm actually quite tired. I should go to sleep. Maybe after I pack my carry-on... Yes, that would be nice. I think that's what I'll do.
I am soooooOOOOOO STOKED!
I really like that word.

I feel like I've been wiped off the face of the planet.
I will be wiped off the face of the United States from July 3-July 23.
Well, I should decide what classes I wan to take. Off I go...
=/
PS. Enjoy high school. I mean it. Squeeze the juice out of every second that goes by. Drink it. Get drunk off of the moment without letting it ferment. That's happiness.

I know I should be doing
The work that soon is due
But the internet is gluing
my mind to itself, it's true...
They said that senioritis
would hit sometime in May
They were right because my mind is
Quickly and surely slipping away.
What makes me kinda sad
Is that I'll be leaving soon
And then all that I've had
Will turn into dreams under the moon
All the people I've known will be so far away
I'll come back and visit, of that please be sure
And I know that these feelings are not premature
They're things I've been feeling for a while now
Supressed and played off they can no longer go
I guess what I'm trying to get you to know
Is that each moment that passes is bittersweet
because soon I must go...
Funny how a choppy, sing-songy poem can turn into a choppy, rudimentary revelation of my feelings.
Although I am counting down the days until I graduate (12 school days) I also dread each passing day and count it as one that will not be lived again, but one that needs to be remembered for as long as possible.
Please don't judge that poem. I swear I'm a better poet when I choose to be. =D

This morning I thought I would be extremely bored because right after I dropped my sisters off at school I realized that I had absolutely nowhere to go. I didn't have to be at school until 10:15 am (hence the very early livejournal post) and I did not want to park and wait until that time or spend it sitting in the auditorium with nothing to amuse me. So I opted to head on over to Jamba Juice. I know. I have an amazing life. Aftre I had ordered, though, the guy behind the counter asked me if I smelled something burning (I hadn't noticed it until then, but yes, it smelled like something was being combusted ever so mildly). He looked at the grilled cheese sandwich grill (that was slightly redundant, forgive me) but it seemed to be working fine. He took the next customer's order and asked him the same question, but this time when he turned around to check the grill for a second time, we all notice a nice, healthy flame feeling quite at home inside the grill. The guy didn't know what to do (and because he was in his early 20s, you can only imagine how amusing this was, especailly in an uneventful morning. You know, I wish I had more interesting stories to tell, but this was the highlight of today thus far).
Oh, yes, one more thing. Rewind to before Jamba Juice, before I dropped my sisters off at school to when I was heading to school. It's raining, so I was driving cautiously, but I guess it wasn't cautiously enough because a car was going to make a left (not at an intersection, on a small street with no light or stop sign) and I braked behind it, but my brakes gave in, my car skid gently forward, but I hit them nonetheless. I followed them thinking that they'd want my information and all that crap, but they kept going towards an elementary school. I stopped next to the elementary school to see what the damage was (I had noticed that absolutely nothing had happened to the other car, and I was afraid that my car had been deformed. I checked and noticed that only my lisense plate frame had been bent and broken. Hooray! That was a close call.
That is all for right now. And that might be all for a while because my life is really uneventful, but I guess I'm ok with that. I'd rather have nothing to say thatn have a million bad things to recall and retell.
=D

One of those days - Shaun Groves |
] |
Yesterday was very relaxing and FUN!! Here's what happened:
- Taught the Sabbath School class, and everyone participated, which is good.
- Helped plan a movie night even though i would not be able to attend.
- Adventurers: Arts and Crafts, my students were absent
- CHICAGO at Hamilton High School = AMAZING. We saw a big chunk of CES there: Mr. Dion and wife, Mr. Beckman and mother(?), Mr. Schur and wife, all 10 of us, and to top it all off we also saw Tony Shalhoub.
- Afterwards, we went to In 'n' Out and Diddy Riese!!!!! But not until I had taken us all the way around Beverly Hills by accident...
- Got home at 12:45 am and passed out.
Also during the day, though, I got some things figured out that had been weighing on my mind for too long. Things are figured out in my head and I've regained my mental composure.
TODAY - I went looking for a prom dress. I have decided on Jessica McClintock, but I will go back next week when they get more dresses. The styles I wanted seemed to disagree with my body... BOOOOOOOO!!!
HAPPY MOTHERS' DAY!!!
