Drama with "Friends"
Thursday, November 15, 2007
Oh, how times have changed
I did want to talk about the 7 college kids in N. Carolina who died in that fire a couple of weeks ago. Its so sad, and tragic, they were sleeping or just trapped. and
that could happen here, in Brockport. I know of many, many house parties where there is not even one sober person. Gosh it feels like theres so many bad things that go on, but so is life.
Well happier times, My new classes for next semester. as an accounting major, I'm not really taking any hard classes, or even any accounting classes. But I know that in 3 years all I will be taking is accounting courses. I wish that they would spread out the general education classes, so that you can take a "fun" general education class every semester; but again so is life. Comment with any rantings of your own, about college life, young or old, questions or comments. Whatevah.

Great Writing
The shaky hands of my grandmother as I help her out of her car. Turing to help her up my front steps, and getting her into the house. The warmth coming from inside; where my mom makes turkey and sausage stuffing. Hugging her and then my grandfather. The dry kisses from the lips to my cheek, and the way that grandpa’s hugs only go half way around. My aunts and uncles most with my last name hunt for pickles and olives and pre-dinner drinks. The first bite of the turkey straight from the oven, and how my mom only lets me have the succulent piece. The yelling of my mom as she prepares us for the feast. The soft prayer that my grandmother insists on, and how most of us have broken the cardinal rule. The roar of the post dinner football game as my dad cheers on his team. The cold pumpkin pie that’s been kept outside since that morning. All of these sensations come to me at one of my favorite times of the year. The traditions of my family have been the same in years past and I am assured they will never change.

To Ponder
Some interesting thoughts for today: how often should I really change my bed sheets, why have I told so many my life story but heard so little of other lives so far, how can it be so early when I don't have class till 11:30 am, and why do some boys flirt with you when you know they like one of your friends? Questions to ponder. If any of you know this Nando Parrado came to SUNY Brockport yesterday and made a great speech. He talked about love, teamwork, and just having fun in the next 10 seconds of your life, because you never know what is going to happen. Nando himself was in a grueling plane crash back in '72 and was trapped in the Andes mountains for 72 days, a miracle that he is still alive. It amazed me how much passion he had for every thing. Passion for life, his wife his daughters, his friends, for just being able to breath he had passion.
So again I ponder the ideas of what he has been though, and even think to myself what would I do? Would I be a coward and commit suicide like I know I might have done, I don't know; I will never know.

English 112
this is a really cool idea. but on to other things, i want to describe my room mate. shes tall-ish, about 5'7", shes darker because shes jewish and Italian and she comes from long island. she can be cool at times but we don't really talk. i feel like she she doesn't even know im there sometimes. i dont even know any thing about her. she drinks alot and she seems to not really want to get to know me/ i feel like she doesn't even ask me anything, she hangs out with other people who is really dont know and i always feel like a third wheel. she never includes me, she will go out and i will ask where shes going and she tells me that shes gonna hang out with some people. she will never tell me where or if i can come. she seems really stuck up, shes very high school. she shuns me, and i dont know why. i think that she thinks that im a loser and that i don't want to hang out because we dont know what we have in common because she wont talk to me!
well that was a big rant, if anyone wants to give me suggestions on these issues just comment.
An introduction
This blog is going to be a place for me to complain and complement college life. Everything from roommates to food to the dirty laundry room thats 2 floors below me. I want you to know that I usually won't complain this much in real life, this is just an area to express how some at college have made me think that this place is just like high school only we live together and don't have to take phys. ed.
I hope you enjoy hearing about my freshman year here at SUNY Brockport.
