End of Upward Bound 2010

About blogging, what I didn't like was how you couldn't really write personal things because you would end up sharing them with everyone. I like keeping things to myself, so I just don't like putting my life out there. I could say that was the only thing I didn't like, but I also didn't like blogging because it's kind of boring. What I did like about blogging was how we can comment on our friends post. I remember commenting on Wendy's post because she a close friend and I felt like I could tell her something regarding what she wrote about.

During the rest of my summer, I'm not sure of what I want to do. One thing that I actually want to do is go to the walk through theatre on 28Th ST. There showing only one movie called "The 99." It seems kind of fun so I'm planning on doing that this week. I also want to go to the Ionia Fair which starts on the 21st of this month. There's many things I want to do, but I don't know if I'll get to all of them. I'm ready for my Summer to begin, but I'm not ready for school at all. Hopefully the rest of the Summer goes by slow because I want to have fun. Well, I'll try to have fun.

2nd to Last Post

My favorite candy is the Pelon Pelo Rico, it is a tamarind flavored candy. It's made by the Hershey Company in Mexico. I don't know why I like it because I don't really like natural tamarind at all. I guess the candy is different because it's artificially flavored. Every time I go to any Hispanic store I see them there and I just have to buy it. The only part about eating the candy that I don't like is when I have to squeeze it out. Sometimes it's hard to squeeze it because it's sticky, but that's pretty much the candy that I would prefer.

Last week of Upward Bound, we forget about work and start to have fun. I'm so excited to get out of here and do what I please. I didn't want to come back at all, but I found no reason to stay home now if we're almost done. Fortunately, I felt like this summer went by fast. Anyways, my weekend wasn't good at all, but I understood because I know that not everything could be joy at home. On Friday, when I got picked up I just went home and took a nap. Later on during the day I went to the mall with my boyfriend and my mom. I was trying to buy something, but nothing really convinced me at the moment. If I have to buy something, I have to go to the mall for more than 2 hours and I need to be by myself. Whenever someone goes with me they get frustrated because I never choose something quick. I also went to church on Sunday, not something new because I go every weekend. After church we went to this new restaurant they opened, but I didn't like the food. It was small and that just gave me the hint to never go back. I don't know, maybe it'll change later on and I'll go back, I doubt it though.

Friday, finally, I'm ready to go home, I need to be with my family. My mom called me two nights ago to give me some bad news. We are going through a rough moment right now, because we just lost a family member. My dad is pretty upset even though he tries to act strong around us. My mom was crying when she called me and i couldn't hold it in. I've been putting up with it since two nights ago. It's moments like these that I would love to be home instead of being away and receiving some new like that. Other than that I'm not pretty excited for my weekend anymore because I don't know how the atmosphere in my house is right now. I don't really feel good at this moment, I've been having some pain since yesterday, and then i slept wrong last night. My neck hurts when I try to move it. It's very uncomfortable, I wish I could go back to bed and wake up to a happy day. The good thing is that today is our last Friday, next week is our final week. I have many plans for the rest of my summer I don't know if I'll get to them all, but I'll try.

I'm pretty sure everyone had a great weekend, but now we're back. Everyone looks extremely tired today and I'm guessing it's because of the heat. Our dorms are very hot, the fans we have don't even help. In my dorm we have 4 fans and it's not helpful at all. We were all tired last night but the heat kept waking us up. It's like we couldn't find our comfortable way to sleep. My roommates woke up late even though the alarms went off 3 times. We've been told that this week is going to be hotter than other weeks, so I'm so not looking forward to that. I'm looking forward to going home and sleeping with the air conditioner on. My eyes hurt so bad, but i have to deal with it. The other thing I'm not happy about is having class on Friday. On the other hand I'm happy because we only have 2 more weeks left and our summer will officially start.

Thursday* July 1, 2010

July 4Th is coming up, we get a long weekend. It sounded good at first, but when I found out we have class on Friday it's just the same thing. No difference, but I guess. We have a volleyball tournament today which is going to totally suck because I don't know how to play volleyball and I'm pretty sure that people who are competitive are going to get mad. I don't play sports at all and they know that so we'll see what happens today. I'm a little tired not as much as other times. I stayed up studying for my Spanish and anatomy test. Tomorrow we're going to Western for our college tour. I would of preferred staying here because the lower classman just stay for study table and then they get to go home around 11. That would've of worked out perfectly for me but it's not happening. I'm hungry, I didn't eat anything for dinner yesterday because the food didn't look appetizing. I haven't had anything until now.

Wednesday* June 30, 2010

I woke up on time today, received a phone call from my parents wishing me a happy birthday. It was nice but too early. Last night, the TCs decided to visit me and wish me a happy birthday in their own little way. I turned seventeen, feeling a little old but those are the rules of life and to start my great morning Ms. Smith decided to sing to the birthday people. Her voice was so great it hurt my ears. Eclipse came out last night at midnight. I so wanted to be there, but it was just impossible. I would of been there if I didn't have to be here. Can't wait until Friday, so I can go watch it and get excited again. Besides that, I'm happy because it's Wednesday, tomorrow Thursday and then home on Friday. I'm counting down the days so we can be done with homework, teachers and work.
