like hundreds and hundreds of other kids, i will be attending college in the near fall. if anything, (besides the precollege stress of financial aid and essay writing etc), that pisses me more about precollege, is the way people react to the choice of the school that i will be going to. especially with family or with neighbors. it's near august and i will be going to college in less than a month and people are still nagging me about what college i should have gone to and which college i should have applied to. people are doubting my choice of my major and that pisses me off terribly. sure, i'm young. sure, i don't know what's going to happen in the future but this is my life. at most, the only people who are allowed to nag about what's going to happen are my parents; not my aunts, uncles, and especially not my neighbors. every time my neighbor comes over, he always brings up college. he always tells me why i didn't apply to more state schools. he keeps telling me that i should have gone to farmingdale or nyit. i don't know why i didn't say anything but farmingdale state college doesnt' have civil engineering. i looked at all the suny schools that had civil engineering and farmingdale wasn't on the list. and while farmingdale and nyit are great schools, i worked hard during my junior year to get the sat score that i got. nyu poly was probably a reach school. it was the only school (besides cooper but i mean no one gets into cooper) that i thought i couldn't get into. and when i got into nyu poly, you can bet i was excited.
i don't think people understand the possibilities of me going to nyu poly. while it is not yet completely part of the new york university chain, by the time i graduate, it will be. and i will be graduating with a new york university diploma.
nonetheless the opportunities i can get. i know people say that undergraduate year doesn't really matter but it sort of does. people are selective with what kind of schools people go to.
and i think people are doubtful of the work i can put into. yeah nyu poly will be hard and i understand that. i know what i got myself into. engineering school in general isn't exactly a stroll in the park. nonetheless nyu poly holds the 8th highest paying salaries with bachelor's degrees. in. the. nation.
nonetheless, there will always be people getting in the way of where you want to go. it's up to you to stomp over them and show them what you can achieve. with. or without their help.

day 46
i got called to work early this saturday morning. the only reason why i go on saturdays is because i'm able to increase my paycheck by a little bit and it makes me feel better when i check how much i get paid by the end of two weeks.
by the time i got home, my mother got into a small argument as we were trying to get tickets for washington, d.c. she claimed i had no patience. i was trying to work with the website to get it to work. and all i said was a giant sigh (meant for the website) and my mother goes off on me and how i have no patience. and i didn't even bother fighting back because it wasn't even worth it. so, i'm just not going to help my mother get tickets. i want to go to washington, d.c. but honestly, i don't want to go with my family. my parents are getting old and they don't want to walk a lot. and nonetheless, they cheap out on anything fun and my siblings are old enough to walk around but they are too young to understand anything. so if my mother asks me to get tickets tomorrow, i'm just going to tell her to get my sister to help her because i apparently have no patience and then watch, all hell will break lose and then i will get an attitude for having an attitude when i didn't have an attitude in the first place.
then after that, i went up to my room and took a two hour nap. waking up at 8:30 am in the morning is so hard to do.
then j came over to hang out with my brother and i. i have to practice on my video gaming skills because i kept losing. and i basically only won to pure luck. but it was nice having him around just to chill. but i think my mother is on to something even though there wasn't anything going on. i showed j my room and my mother told me that i shouldn't have a boy in my room. -_-. when the door was clearly open and. uch. and i couldn't even just chill with j either especially since my brother was just being a butt a whole time. i think my brother has grown into the annoying 10-year old brother and i want to beat him up every time he opens his mouth sort of stage. uch. he'll finally realize it when i leave for college. it won't be the same for him.
so i'm off to do stuff.
bye!

day 44
i've never realized how much i hated kids until... today at work. another day in which my day revolved just around kumon. i've decided not to work there during the school year only because it wasn't worth it.
but after work when i was bumming and watching sex and the city, i was kidnapped by j and t who i haven't seen in so long.
and learned some college stuff.
and that's it.
the end.
bye

day 43
i'm laying down in my bed while on the laptop. and it's probably the worst position for me for my back and my neck, but as of right now, i'm too tired to care. it's 5:21 pm in the evening and all my friends are out. either they're out on dates or with family or just even at home like i am, every one is doing their own thing. my plans for the evening have been canceled and i am left here blogging. but i do have plans tonight; plans that i am quite excited about.
these last few days i've been thinking about my heart. i've always had a problem with letting people in. and i guess i'm constantly guarded. i know it's not good for me but no matter how hard i try and no matter how much i want to let them inside my walls, i always have a gun in my pocket. i guess i've just been scarred and scared of what can happen. and then i think of the time left i have in town. i have approximately a month left here are home. am i going to risk not doing what my heart desires only because of time and school? as much as i do want to knock my walls down, i also don't want to ruin a friendship. and then there is living with the what if's in my head. i don't want to live my life through that.
i guess i have to remind myself that i have to do this for myself and not for anyone else; no matter what people say.
edit: 2:19 am
i just had one of the best nights of my life. (:

day 42
all in all, i'm glad my friends and i had that slumber party. it was a hang out well needed.
but there was just this one kid i couldn't get off my mind.
i don't really have much to say.
except that i went to work today after the slumber party.
it seemed to go really slow.
and all i feel like doing is taking a shower, and watching more sex and the city.
you know? i might just do that (:

day 41
i am sleeping in linda's bed. i'll blog tomorrow.
BYE
edit: 1:13 PM the next day:
sadly, i sort of forgot to blog until last night when i was just about to get some rest from the sleepover i was at. i had to kick b off her computer just to write those three sentences you see above. ^^ so technically i did blog. i just didn't blog enough.
i spent the day yesterday getting ready for this sleepover and talking to j. and i did so from the moment i woke up until i had to leave. so i was just doing two things for like about... six hours. then i got to l's house with r and b and we started the sleepover madness. we did some nose pore strip things that i've been meaning to try for the longest time and we did the typical baking. we bought a special brownie mix called mississippi mud brownies and we used a smore icing to put it on top. nonetheless, it was DELICIOUS. so much chocolate in one bite and there were marshmallows and it was just... a chocolate-gasm in my mouth. then basically we just hung around in l's room and some people did their nails, some people were on the computer.
nonetheless it was a good night. but the slumber party craziness have seemed to just lessen down. i guess we're just getting too old. and staying up isn't as easy as it was a couple of years ago. i'm glad we had this. i'm glad the girls were able to hang around together one last time before college. it was a moment to remember. especially since many of us will be soon going our different ways in a couple of weeks. i just need a day with my boys and then another day where every one can meet up at the same time.
just one more month. four weeks. twenty eight days.
then we're all splitting and moving on and traveling down different paths.
till then, i'm going to wait for l's mom to get chicken and rice for us (:
and then i'm headed off to work.
bye!
