Can you practice what you preach?

Black Eyed Peas

What's wrong with the world mama?
People living like aint got no mamas
I think the whole worlds addicted to the drama
Only attracted to the things that bring you trauma
Overseas yeah we tryin to stop terrorism

But we still got terrorists here livin
In the USA the big CIA the Bloodz and the Crips and the KKK
But if you only have love for your own race
Then you only leave space to discriminate
And to discriminate only generates hate

And if you hatin you're bound to get irate
Yeah madness is what you demonstrate
And that's exactly how anger works and operates
You gotta have love just to set it straight
Take control of your mind and meditate
Let your soul gravitate to the love y'all

People killing people dying
Children hurtin you hear them crying
Can you practice what you preach
Would you turn the other cheek?
Father Father Father help us
Send some guidance from above
Cause people got me got me questioning
Where is the love?(where is the lovex3)(the love2x)

It just ain't the same all ways have changed
New days are strange is the world the insane?
If love and peace so strong
Why are there pieces of love that don't belong
Nations dropping bombs
Chemical gases filling lungs of little ones
With ongoing suffering
As the youth die young
So ask yourself is the loving really strong?
So I can ask myself really what is going wrong
With this world that we living in
People keep on giving in
Makin wrong decisions
Only visions of them livin and
Not respecting each other
Deny thy brother
The wars' going on but the reasons' undercover
The truth is kept secret
Swept under the rug
If you never know truth
Then you never know love
Where's the love y'all?(I don't know)
Where's the truth y'all?(I don't know)
Where's the love y'all?

People killing people dying
Children hurtin you hear them crying
Can practice what you preach
Would you turn the other cheek?
Father father father help us
Send some guidance from above
Cause people got me got me questioning
Where is the love?(where is the lovex3)(the lovex2)

I feel the weight of the world on my shoulder
As I'm getting older y'all people get colder
Most of us only care about money makin
Selfishness got us followin the wrong direction
Wrong information always shown by the media
Negative images is the main criteria
Infecting their young minds faster than bacteria
Kids wanna act like what the see in the cinema
Whatever happened to the values of humanity
Whatever happened to the fairness and equality
Instead of spreading love, we're spreading anomosity
Lack of understanding, leading us away from unity
That's the reason why sometimes I'm feeling under
That's the reason why sometimes I'm feeling down
It's no wonder why sometimes I'm feeling under
I gotta keep my faith alive, until love is found

People killing people dying
Children hurtin you hear them crying
Can you practice what you preach
Would you turn the other cheek?
Father Father Father help us
Send some guidance from above
Cause people got me got me questioning
Where is the love?(fade)

Last day of the semester! I'm very excited.

No more AP Biology.

Now: Bioethics

An interesting switch.

I had a lesson with linda last night. It went better than I expected. I'm doing very well on my solo now, a lot better :).

I have an english test today. Five reading assignments in two days and then a test. Odd?

I just had some bacon and mushroom pizza and a cup of mountain dew listening to banter abroad. Pep band tonight, I'm not going home after school, but rather staying after with my flute ensemble to practice and going to subway and then coming back to school for pep band. It's going to be long day. But, that pizza WAS good.

So basically, I'm expected to get as close to a free ride at GRCC as I could possibly get. I will have to have some money to pay for books and other things like that, but all of that can come out of my MEAP money. But yeah, everything is gonna start happening pretty soon so I can start taking some classes this summer. As for WMU, I will have to take out some student loans. He expected me to have to take out at least $10,000 worth of loans to pay for what my aid doesn't.

I'm applying tomorrow.

hook, line, and sinker
The only sure feeling I have right now is college.

Other than that, I'm a mess.

This certain fish in the sea has her own hook.

EDIT: I need to get away, plain and simple. I need to move myself into a totally new environment. I know college will help me with that, but I think that to completely make myself content, I need to move away from BK as well.

The main thing that really sucks about opening is that you wake up at around 6:30-7:00 on days you don't have to work. Grr.

Well, I have a meeting with Mr. Walker on Tuesday to go over all of this college stuff. I'll be at the school at around 8:30 and be there for about two hours. Fun, eh?

:: Music: Syrinx by Debussy

I'm listening to syrinx by debussy, which is my solo for solo and ensemble. I think I've gotten myself in fairly deep this time, I have two weeks to learn it to a good level. That means listening to different recordings of it many times a day a practicing for god knows how long. That reminds me, I have to go to the KDL website and find the recordings of it.

Semester is almost done with. That's a good thing, I think. I'm looking forward to bioethics. Eventhough it's a college class, I'm fairly sure I'll enjoy it quite a bit more than AP bio. I'm still stuck with Dolbee for AP lit, but I guess I can suffer through for another semester.

My duet with Rob (and with Jenny's accompiment) is going along quite well for the challenging level of it. It's not too hard in sections, but all together it's quite imposing, at least for me. It has a ton of runs and whatnot.

Today was sunny and warm and I was pleased with it.

Perhaps later.

I need to get out sometime soon. I need to go somewhere that is not my house or BK. Who wants to go do something with me tomorrow night?

Edit: I finally talked to Maria again, after all this time. It was great too. She's coming to GR for spring break, and I told her we'd have to hang out for a while.

Another Edit: I've been reading about college so much lately, I pratically have each class I want to take memorized. Although I just read that I have to study up on basic algebra and arithmetic before I take my placement test. That should be FUN! (*cough*bullshit*cough*)

HOLY SHIT
So, I'm staring to look up classes that I am interested in or that I have to take to get my Associate in Arts degree. I have to take like, 8 english credits, 1 psychology credit and one child development credit, 8 humanities credits (most of them being psychology so that I can take Education Psych), 8 social science credits, 8 natural science and mathematics credits, an introduction to education credit, and one wellness credit (I chose first aid) over the course of two years. All I can say is that I'm going to get my ass kicked.

But I couldn't be more excited.

I don't know what to think.

I'm just... really confused.

And I'm also a bit apprehensive. I don't want to feel like shit again.

Jejuan, call me or something.

Edit: Yeah, you're right. I have to just forget about it. Besides, I have other things to focus on.

I want to get a part-time job somewhere else and drop down to part-time at BK. Does that sound stupid?

:: Mood: frustrated

why does it have to be so difficult?
Okay, here's my problem. Of course, I don't want to be stuck working at some dead end job for the rest of my life. I want to go to college, GRCC to be specific. I know what I want to do too: english and secondary education. But the problem is that I just don't understand how the whole system of college works (semesters, tuition hours, majors, minors, transfer, etc.), and why it costs so much fucking money. I mean, how can anyone in their right minds afford this shit. I looked at the only thing I saw that had a price, which was tuition hours, and it said that for a resident they'd have to pay 69.50/hour of "contact" with "an instructor or tutorial or laboratory equipment." So, if a class is two hours long (or however it works, I still don't know), I'd have to pay 139 dollars?!? What the hell is that? And I assume that I'd have to have a ton of classes throughout the semesters, or however it works (still don't know). And what if I have to pay for other basic classes, like math. Does that cost an arm and a leg too? I wish there was a person I could talk to or a website I could go to that would explain the basics to me, so I could start planning on going, that's IF I can find someway to afford it. It just can't be that expensive, if so many people are going to college. Yes, anyone who understands how college works must think I'm a fucking idiot, but I'm really flustrated right now. I've been all over the GRCC website, and I still don't know anything, and it makes me feel really stupid. Just really fucking stupid. I know I NEED to go to college. I want to go to college.

Anyone who knows anything about it, please explain it to me.
