919 on my mind


Hello again friends,


I have had a very busy and hectic week. School has gotten more tougher as the tests are getting closer and closer. I have been looking forward to come back to Raleigh all weekend. I got in last night and got to hang out with my friends. I have had a great time since I've been back and I still have two whole days. UNC plays against NCSU today in Raleigh and I've got tickets! I actually am in a hurry to write this so I can be on my way to the game. I love this rivalry and my team (UNC) usually always comes out on top. My dad went to UNC so we are diehard fans. There is really good games on right now. I love watching good college basketball. The ACC is stacked with good teams and great players. Also, I love watching the Bobcats even though they aren't great. I am big on the local sports and will always be following the North Carolina teams. I love being back here haning out with my friends that I've known for so long. I feel home and it feels great. I went to a UNCW game the other night. We lost at the buzzer but it was a great game. Not many students go to the games but I thought it was a very good time. I have my Raymond Felton jersey on and am about to leave. I am so stoked for the game.

Raining on the Mountain


Rainy Mountain


This was an easy short read. It was very descriptive and lively. I could see the picture being painted as I read this story. It sucks for this guy because his grandmother died when he was young. It was cool how his grandmother was an Indian and so in touch with herself. She had to go through some tough times that made her who she was. I thought she told a pretty cool story about how te Big Dipper came along. I did like how this story was so descriptive again though. I am sure glad it was a short read though. Anyway I'll see everybody in class tomorrow!

I Love College

I Love College


It is as simple as that. So far I am enjoying myself very much. This weekend was awesome and I am stoked for the weekend that is approaching. Last week I think I had a little too much fun on account of I missed English class. I really do like the class its just I went to sleep at 4 in the morning' so it was impossible to wake up for. I am watching the new Kat Williams stand up comedy "pimpin pimpin." Kat Williams is one of the funniest comedians I've ever heard.


As for the Assignment

Yes I do think that the government does have say in whether the page goes down. I believe if the government does not agree with some things then the major web pages go down or not. The first amendment specifically states that we have a freedom of speech. Yet when 9/11 happened Bush "changed" the amendment so people could not show certain youtube videos on the planes hitting the twin towers. He If he can change that then I am sure he can get a web page down.

What a drag



This Sucks


Well it's 9:20 and thank goodness my geology teacher canceled class. At least someone here has some sense. Everyone in the state of North Carolina has today off except UNCW! I had to wake up at 7 just to check and see if classes were canceled and with my luck they weren't. Hopefully my freshman seminar class will be canceled too but I really do doubt that. On the good side of things I just found some pretty good songs on youtube. I have to catch up on all of my homework today (sigh). I had a pretty good 3 day weekend though. I had a lot of fun with no hassels or anyone nagging me about anything. Oh and did I mention the Eagles lost. tear. Poor calls towards the end of the game doesn't help. Kevin Curtis get tackled before the ball is thrown to him and no pass interference, pathetic. I don't want to get started on that game though, sore topic.


Wow

Not saying it isn't a big deal but people really are taking this Inauguration way too far. Ya it's cool Barack won if you voted for him but if you didn't you are tired of hearing about it. All the news talks about is "oh what kind of dog will Obama get!" Who cares. Pointless media showing its true colors as usual. I bet he won't even get a cool dog. Just some little stupid shaggy dog. And by the way Obama says the tax cuts won't start until his next term. People voted for his "tax cuts" well sorry but you aren't getting them.



College Life


I have one dollar to my name. I can't wait to spend it! I wonder what I can get with ONE WHOLE DOLLAR now. Or I could make oragamy like this cool fish. It is finally SNOWING! Wow things are looking up. I am so stoked right now. Hopefully UNCW will wise up and cancel classes now.

I Don't Know


Who's Thirsty? I am!




This has been a pretty productive week for me. I am just about settled in and got my schedule down. Oh ya and it's Thirsty Thursday which I'm pretty stoked for. I love chillen in the common room of my dorm. I think it is cool to just see everyone come and go all doing there own thing. Also I love using the elevator. I love stopping on different floors and seeing the different atmospheres. Ok so it's 12:30 and I just got back from a party. I love going out on weeknights with no parents to tell me what to do. I just met my neighbor Rhett and he is really cool. We are definitely chilling every night. I am really excited for tomorrow. Fridays are the best days because we have the weekend to look forward to.

SAH CAR!
I love playing soccer. When I get stressed out i play. Soccer is a passionate and very emotional game. My family is from England so I am very into "football." I love watching soccer to, seeing a goal is one of the greatest things I've ever seen.


Rude Awakening

I hate freshman seminar. My teacher just gave us a pop quiz on pointless material. I got a ZERO but I don't really care. I wish add/drop classes were still open but apparently they aren't. Talk about stress zzzzzz.
I Can't Wait
There are so many things I can't wait for: tomorrow being Friday, getting a career, going to sleep tonight, and watching the Eagles win the Super Bowl in a couple weeks.

What's Philly Good?




The Best





The Philadelphia Eagles. It's as simple as that. The Eagles are the best team in the National Football League. Brian Westbrook and Brian Dawkins are by far the best players. Brian Westbrook plays every game like it is his last. Westbrook had broken ribs and a bummed ankle in a couple of games this year and that did not stop him from playing. How can you not like the guy? And Brian Dawkins? Are you kidding me, he is the toughest most hard nosed player in the NFL. He doesn't back down to anyone and is fun to watch. I am really excited about the playoffs this year. There is absolutely no chance for the Arizona Cardinals to beat the red hot Eagles. After coming off this win against the Giants they have both the swagger and confidence to carry them right into the Super Bowl. I have some family that lives in the suburbs of Philadelphia and it is nice to visit there. Philadelphia is a great sports town and city.






Friendly

I just came to UNCW last week and everyone here is so friendly. The first day I moved in just about everyone on my floor came in my room and introduced themselves which was very cool. Everywhere I go on campus everyone is willing to help me if I have troubles. Whenever I see someone I know walking around they will always go out of their way to say hey. I think I am going to enjoy my time a lot here and glad I chose UNCW.


Hate-Love

I am so chillen right now. I love Tuesdays because I only two classes spread out a couple hours. I love all this free time because I get everything done in the day as opposed to late at night. Although there is some downfall to this schedule. When I get my errands done I hate going back out for one more class. Especially when its raining outside and cold. There are some things in life you just have to deal with.
