halloween

This weekend I decided not to go to RI as I had said I might in an earlier blog. I stuck around Cortland for some Halloween festivities. It was sat night before I had decided what I was going to be and time was running out. I was disappointed in my self I love Halloween, I actually love all the holidays. I pretty much like any time I am given a reason to celebrate, not even in a drinking sence of the word, but in an every one is having a good time. Any way at about 9 pm only an hour before I was going ot head out when my idea came upon me. I was going to dress gangsta for Halloween. This was truly a great idea. I quickly found the necessary dress required. First I barrowed my friends jeans he weighs about 300 pounds so they were a little baggy considering I weight 160. I was then able for find a 5xl “tall tee” I looked at what I had found and was fairly pleased, but my assemble was not quite finished. I was next was on hot pursuit of a “fitted” this is the type of hat with a flat brim hat that is not adjustable. I was able to find a black and white Mets fitted I put on what I had so far and I’m not gunna lie at this point I looked gangsta but I wasn’t finished. Finically I found a bandana which I tied under my fitted with my entire costume on I looked in the mirror and realized my costume was set. I headed out with my friends and started Halloween weekend.

to drive or not to drive

I love road trips. There is nothing better then filling a car with some close friends and just hading out. I have done a lot of road trips with my family but in recent years many with my friends as well. I have gone to the jersey shore after graduation VA beach for spring break and visited many other college campuses. When I was a first semester freshmen I went to a community college with little to do on the weekends so I would often hop in my car and drive to a college that would be more fun. With Lauren going to providence and Den at URI Rhode island was a usual weekend destination. I also came to visit Cortland for cortica although I diddent quite make it to the game last year. I even made it all the way out to Indiana although I cheated on that one – I flew. I am writing this blog because I think I will be going on another road trip on Saturday although Im not really sure yet. I haven’t made up my mind. I might go to rhode island and see laur … I also may night on one had id love to see laur on the other hand it is a very far drive and I have asked around no one really wants to go which means I would pay for all of the gas money which gets expencive im really not sure what im going to do …ill let you know when I make up my mind

community college

Have any of you ever had to take a ridiculous class. I’m not talking about a class with a weird teacher or a class that was just outa this world. My first semester of my fresh men year I too ceramics and naussu community college. Everything about this class was weird
Here was a group of fully grow adults playing with clay the class that sticks out in my mind the most was the first day we used “the wheel” up until this point was able to keep up with the teachers expectations my “art” was never good I managed bs and cs all until I had to use the wheel. I had seen the wheel on tv before and it looked easy and the teacher explained it perfect so I wasent worried until I sat down. I turned on the wheel and plaes my clay on it the next step is to put a little water on the clay so it slides through your hands and spins so you can shape it. I did not put enough water. It is also recomanded that you start at a slow speed. Unfortunately I am a huge fan of the phrase live life in the fast lane I slammed on speed control and stared watch the clay spin I grabbed on and started to try and shape my clay the next thing I know I launch the clay a good 20 ft into the wall it was bad news… I never quite learned to master the wheel

in trouble for drinking

Suny Cortland needs to change its drinking violation policy. The policy tat stands now is if you get caught you get a strike if you get three strikes your out. If it is clear that you were not guilty you are allowed to protest the strike in hopes of getting t take away. This policy sounds very good on paper but doesn’t really work when put into use. In college a large percent of the population drinks and it seems like the students that have a few beers with their friends are the ones that get caught multipliable times where as the students that get ridiculous and cause problems some how manage to slip through the cracks. This weekend my friend bill is visiting he was a student here last year but was given two strikes one because he was caught drinking one beer and one because he was caught throwing out beer cans. Because he is responsible he transfused so that his transcript would not show he got kicked out. Bill drank often but never caused problems it is people like him that make me think the system is unfair I think that before a student is asked to leave or even given a strike they should take other things into mind. Like the students grades and extra curricular actives and even their situation at home. I know of may students on campus that do what ever they want and break a lot of rules and some how do not get caught it just doesn’t seem fair to get rid of some good kids that were in the wrong place at the wrong time and let the ass holes run free

hungry

I don’t know about every body else but after being at school for about this long I start to get sick of the food. I know that compared to other schools we have a lot of options but it still happens. All of the subway subs start to taste the same, it seems like there are less sides at dragon every time I go there and the hang over cure all bacon egg and cheese from dunkin donuts just starts to taste worse and worse. I don’t know if this is just me or if there is even anything that can be done about it. As ive said before we have much more choices then other schools but everything is starting to be bland of corse I always have the option of ordering food but this costs real money something I don’t have a lot of i don’t know if there is anything that an be done to fix this problem for myself. I am trying to mix it up as much as I can even if it means walking all the way to the top of the hill from my dorm at the bottom the food at hill top is by far the best on campus its just such a far walk. In my opinion the flat iron steak is the best mean choice on the entire campus I really wish they would serve it at dragon. I know all of you agree o well maybe when im finished with this blog ill go talk to some of the lunch ladies to see what I can do to get the beloved flat iron at dragon well that’s all I have for now see you in class

fall

The seasons have really just started to change. Summer lasted a little longer then it normally dose which was great for me. I like summer way more then the other seasons. The coming of fall to me represents being cold when sailing and surfing and the end the care free summer. Even though I was at school it still didn’t feel like fall until recently. I guess the coming of fall brings a few good things with it. Halloween is coming soon and that it sure to be fun. I think that my friend Kev and I are going to be Robin Hood and little john due to the fact that we have similar body structures to the legend. Fall also brings foot ball season and thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays. We usually have it at my house and not only do I get to enjoy the main meal I also get the leftovers. Fall also brings around winter. I know you may be thinking that if I don’t like fall I must hate winter but that’s not quite true. Although I don’t really like the cold I do like the snow and skiing and being up here for school I get the chance to ski a lot. I also really love Christmas. I actually love almost all the holidays in case you couldn’t tell. Last weekend when I was home my family as well as some of my neighbors started to decorate their house for the fall. I though it was early but I managed to see a few houses with Halloween directions and pumpkins. Im sure this fall wont be so bad and ill be sure to let you know how its going for me.

weekend home

As I told you all last time I was home last weekend I left Cortland at about 7 on Thursday night. The drive took longer then I would have liked because we stopped at two rest stops, I got pulled over and talked my way out of a speeding ticket. I also dropped my friends off at their house. Although longer then I was hoping for all and all the drive was good. I arrived at my house at about 12 30 to find myself locked out because some one locked the storm door which I do not have a key too and then everyone went to bed. After waking my entire family to get in the house I tried to convince them to stay up and hang out. They all had work or school in the morning so I was on my own; I watched a little TV and then went to bed. Friday morning was fairly uneventful I did some running around and went to the beach. After the beach I went home and had dinner with my family and Lauren. After Dinner Laur and I went out and met up with some of our friends. I got home late Friday night so I slept pretty late on Saturday. I slept right through lunchtime but met up with some friends for an early dinner at a pizza place. Later that night Lauren and I went out to a Mexican restaurant for dinner. I was quite an experience. All the waters were dressed in traditional Mexican clothes Neither of us had ever been there before so we figured why not? After dinner we went out with more friends and I got home late once again. Unfortunally Sunday morning my dad decided to wake me up at 9 30 I was not very happy about this and made it very clear. My weekend ended when my drive back to cortland started and now here I am

going home

I have been planning a trip home to long island for about a week now. I am going to leave school after my three classes. I know that every minuet of all my classes is going to seem like forever but it will all be worth it. I am going to drive home in my car with four friends, Kev, Kenny, Matt and Heather. I drive a small neision Sentara which is amazing on gas so the trip will not be expensive, probely less then ten dollars a person for both ways. I have not bee home yet so I can not wait to see my family. With any luck my grandma will cook at least one meal for me. She might be the best cook in the world. Everything she makes is delicious. Along with Looking forward to grandmas cooking I am also looking forward to spending time with the rest of my family and Lauren who will also be home for the weekend. I don’t get to see her a lot during semesters so I really do value the little time we get to spend together a few weekends during the semester is really all we get. To add to the fun my mom still does not know that I am coming home. My dad and I though it would be great surprise. Of cores she will be happy to see me but that feeling might soon leave when she sees all the laundry that I am surprising her with. I can only imagine what she is going to say to me. O well im sure its going to be a good visit and ill fill you in on it next week.

no music for me

This weekend my I pod head phones broke. This is extremely bad because I find it very hard to run and not listen to music and I run fairly often. I have fairly bad asthma the doctor said I should use a nebulieser every day and stay active. I usually use my nebulieser 3 times a week and run two or three miles three times a week. This keeps me in decent shape and helps my breathing a lot. I went to the gym today and started running like I normally do however today seemed to be the most painfully boring run of my life. Instead of being able to disappear into my own world I was forced suffer through the run with out my own music. The gym is kind enough to provide so awful pop from one of the local stations which may have made the experience even worse. I am going home this weekend and will be sure to get a new pair of head phones. I can not picture going though those twenty five minuets again. For the most part I don’t mind running normally an the time goes quick. I just crank up my music and let my mind wonder. Trust me if you normally listen to music when working out and for some reason you cant , do your self a favor and just take the day off.
