College-Grades-HopeNovember 1, 2009
Trying to decide upon what I want to do with my life I began looking throughmy notes on majors and noticed that there are so many things that I haveenjoyed in past classes that I will most likely find it quite hard to choose amajor and stick with it in the future. In total, I have listed 30 majors that interest me based on classes I took concerning the topics included in that major. I am yet to narrow it down. Plans for eliminating majors have beenmade for this summer. My idea is to graduate early from middle college withat least a 3.0 and then continue my education at another community college, taking courses that interest me and math in want of findingsomething I will truly love. After completing classes in Fall 2010, I would liketo be able to choose what and where I want to study. Furthermore, yesterday I looked through several college view-books I picked up from aninternational college fair and discovered I need at least a 3.0 to enter acollege of my choice.
Next Semester-Ideas-Remembering
November 5,2009
Last night I forgot to do Clardy homework somehow. It must have beenbecause I had been in pain from yesterday’s wrestling conditioning. I had also been reading Huck Finn so that I’d be able to write the paragraph for Fraser today, which to my surprise I did get done. I probably got it done ontime because I didn’t procrastinate as much as I usually do, which is anaccomplishment.
 
I have been thinking about what classes I need to take toget into college and to determine what I will do with my life. So far I havethought of several classes I should take to figure out if I still am interested incertain subjects and that I will need to take to get into college. Those classesare: Chemistry, Trigonometry, Pre-Calc, Spanish, Italian, Poli. Science,Physiology, English 100/10, Sociology, Psychology, and probably others tohelp me determine my interests. I can’t not like something I have never tried. In career class today we did an assessment thing that had resultssignifying that I had a dislike for engineering, which I disagree with. So Ineed to take an engineering class too. I would also like to say that I would like to learn how to speak as well as Mr. Moorhouse. I thought he had great inflections of the voice that created a sort of interest/ will to listen to him.But I would like to be better than him, I would like to speak with complex words and have influence over others by how I speak. That would be great.
Remembering-Credits-Work-Plans-RegistrationNovember 23, 2009
 
 
Well, Truthfully, I haven’t written a journal in a while because I forget. I dothink about writing my thoughts down though, which is the funny part of the Journal situation. What I need to do to help me remember to write these is tobuy a white board and stick it on my wall so I can frequently update my list of things to do without forgetting something. Maybe I should go look up howmuch those costs right now.. Okay well my search didn’t go as well as Ithought so ill look that up later. Now speaking of credits, I have discovered that I am in need of 17.5 credits however, I have just had a mini-conversation with Mr. Clardy who has informed that Mr. Basques class, boththat is, amount to 5 credits and advisory is another ten if I pass both with an A. Therefore, I’ll have finished 15 credits total plus another 5 credits for thespeech 120 class, I’m taking, meaning I don’t have to take sociology next semester as I planned and I can just stick with 9 units in PLSC 210, Math123, and Eng 100. Now I just hope I can get into the Math class at 10 amthat I want to. Now work has been good so far since I haven’t been gettingmany hours. I had much more time for homework but now what I have to fix is how much I procrastinate and I guess I need to spend less time with my friends, unfortunately. Also, Wrestling has started and I weigh 143. That means Ill be in the 145 weight class if I don’t lose some pounds. The work out in wrestling is great it lets my mind wander as I relieve my stress
 
Oh,and I forgot to mention that at work on November the 13
th
I passed my  probation period and earned a raise of 25 cents, which may not seem likemuch but its good in the long run. But then, also, I’m guessing it’s because I just passed my three month probation period, I have been getting morehours and this week I am getting 25 hours compared to 8 next week.Furthermore, I had an interview with sears and that was cancelled thank goodness; I definitely don’t need a second job. In addition, I stayed up allnight working on Mr. Clardys essay because I went out with my friend onSaturday which I wasn’t planning on doing, and I worked on Sunday which Ialso wasn’t planning on doing so them I spen about 10 hours on Mr. Clardysessay and felt like I did a good job but I didn’t answer the question the way he wanted it answered. Also, I found out that I am very detail oriented inwriting and am stubborn when It comes down to facts; I always feel like Ineed to be precise with dates- most likely because of Ms. Ferro’s “bespecific”. I prefer the facts rather than vagueness anyways.
Overwhelmed-JCP-moreDec. 6 2009
 
It took me four months to figure out I was working too much; now that’s sad.Ms.Fraser called it smart for figuring that out and lessening my hours, yet Ithink it stupid because it took me so damn long. Its about 12:52am and itsraining outside. The sound of it is calming. Its saddening to know I have somuch work to do and yet I have no time for it. I like being busy but I guessI’ve become a workaholic; it began when I got the job at JCP and started middle college. I now think middle college was a bad idea because it hasgiven me so much freedom and is so easy that I have stopped doing thework for lack of a challenge and time to do it. Recently, I have been doingquite a lot. Then I just stopped going to wrestling practice if I worked, whichsucks because I really wanted to wrestle this year. I even missed my favoritetournament because of a pointless middle college party. Wel,l here is howmuch I have been working at JCP since the beginning of the year:8/16 - 29 was 59.40 hours8/30 – 9/12 was 41.60 hours9/13 – 26 was 49.40 hours9/27 to 10/10 was 44.30 hours10/11 to 10/24 was 42.70 hours10/25 – 11/7 was 23.50 hours11/8 to 11/21 was 12.40 hours11/22 to 12/5 was 45.20 hoursI’m so scared of failing this year. I can’t believe how much I have paved theroad to my own failure. I actually like doing school work and challengingmyself to do the projects better than they need to be. My procrastination isat its worst this year and I really have to start using my time management skills. I was actually talking to my Bio Professor about that. She said shewould love to help. I don’t know if she can. It is too late already. I requested to work only the weekends at JCP but they didn’t approve. Why? I have noclue. I don’t even think they really need me and I don’t want the money anymore, its no longer about that. I would have quit as soon as I found out my grades were low if it hadn’t been for an intellectual who works with me.Its not that he literally asked me to stay or convinced me, it is just that Iadore the people I work with and I would hate to burn all the bridges that have just been built. I REALLY DON’T WANT TO FAIL THIS YEAR!! I AM NOT ABAD STUDENT. I AM ONE WHO STRIVES TO BE THE BEST. But somehow, it has lead me wrong. I am now stuck in a rut. I hate my stubbornness I wish Icould change it, I hate my environmentalism, I wish I could just waste paper like everyone else, I hate how I love people so much, and yet receive nothingin return and keep giving, I hate how I procrastinate doing nothing because Ithink I should relax when I know that the way I have set my life up I can’t
