Something to Ponder…

Should Ex-Cons be allowed to vote?

Throwback Thursday

What tracks are these?

Damn, I Feel Old.

So, my first two days of classes are over, and at this point, I’ve gone to all of my classes once. It feels wierd being a Super Senior. But I’m pretty sure I’ll get over that feeling in a few days.

I was walking around campus today (which is something I don’t do often) and I noticed some things:

1. There are alot of freshmen.

2. They’re trying to bring the 80’s back with full force.

I mean, I thought that whole ‘bring back the 80’s’ trend died out in ‘06? As I was walking to the bookstore today, this dude walked past me sporting a Hi-Top fade, a Swish-Swish Jacket (idk the actual name of it, but that’s the sound the material makes) and I believe he had on LA Gears. WTF? I had to do a double take when I saw that, because I didn’t believe what I was seeing at first. And then, I saw this girl walk past rockin a dookie chain with her name on a platter. No lie.

Back when I was a freshman in ‘04, I tried to blend in with the upperclassmen. I don’t know if it really worked, but I tried my hardest not to stick out like a sore thumb. Now, at the ripe old age of 21 (LOL), I see these impressionable youngins here, and I hope the majority of them make it through, MSU is a place that’ll drive you insane if you let it. Hell, there have been time when I’ve wanted to blow up Montebello.

I signed up for my Humanties requirement, and guess what it turned out to be? Female Writing in the African Diaspora. Not that I have a problem with that, but can the brothers get some love? We have some novels to read and I’m really interested in digging into Toni Morrison’s Song of Solomon. I heard that was a good book.

Calculus 3 is upon me and for the first day (despite showing up 15 minutes late), I understood what took place. I just need to focus and form a study group so that I can get an A out of the class.

I decided to take my Calc 2 professor over again for Differential Equations. Now I know D.E. is a branch off of Calc 2, but if you asked me what it was exactly, I sure as hell wouldn’t be able to tell you.

And last but not least, Engineering Mechanics. I know alot of people that have dropped this class the first few weeks because the work load is supposedly unbearable. At Morgan, I believe it’s a graduation requirement for ALL engineering majors, so I’m definitely gonna have to link up with some classmates to form a study group. I definitely do better studying with people, than I do alone. I get distracted WAY to easily. The professor seems cool, but he talks very softly so it’s kinda sorta like you have to strain to hear him speak. I sit in the second row and you’d think with the class only having 8 people in it, it wouldn’t be all that bad right? Ask me that question about a week or two before midterms.

Random Thought of the Moment: “Why are there so many editions of the same textbook, and which one are we using at Morgan???”

Back to School…

And back on the grind. Today’s my long day which means I’ll be in class from 12p-5p.

I’ll come back with a post later on about how my first two days of school were.

I also have some posts in the works wrapping up my Internship and time in Atlanta (2 weeks late, I know.)

Finally, I know I haven’t posted an O.S.A.G. entry in awhile. I have something in the works right now, so as soon as that pans out, I’ll get back to posting about that on a regular basis.

A Good Read via Organized Noise

Ok, so I was up last night reading a couple blogs before bed, and I stumbled upon fellow Morganite Organized Noise’s latest post. It’s definitely a good read.

If more couple’s read/followed this e-mail, the divorce rate would drop to damn near zilch. Check it out after the break.

Doing Some Spring Cleaning…

In late August. How ’bout that?

You ever get the feeling that your life is starting to get cluttered?

Stressful situations with people that you need to cut loose…

Overdrawing yourself…

No point in having useless things hanging around. right?

Still on Vacation…

New posts starting on Monday.
