BIG TRANSITION

My first few weeks of college have not been to easy. I guess the transition from high school to college is quite difficult but its still achievable. I remember high school was really easy its quite pathetic seeing other students give up so easily. In high school all you needed to to was do your work, you really didnt need to be smart or anything like that. Students often confused intelligence with hard work, I wasnt smart all i did was the required work to pass. College is the same thing but theres more precise and complex work that needs to be done. I really need to step up my game now i think i might be getting a bit lazy, that is not really an excuse to me its just a flaw that must be worked on. I need to make that transition from high school to college or im not going to make it.

The all nighters

Have you ever had one of those all nighters where you stay up all night working on something that you must get done. I really hate those nights they are very tiring and its big hassle when you wake up in the morning. it fells like you are still drowsy and still you must get up. Once you get through a week of those sleepless nights its impossible to get anything done. You can try and try but sleep will prevent you from getting anything done during the day. I like normal people would be stressed out from working all night, sleep and food are the only things that regulate our energy levels throught the day. i think that having an Eight hour rest is important especially in todays hecktic society.

What is art?

Art is a way of life, full of the creative spirit that lingers in the artist.
It is the passion that drives the artists soul to create a masterpiece.
Art is something you do just because you can do anything.
It is the blood that runs through our veins that gives us a purpose.
Art is that graffiti on the wall that no one likes to see their neighborhood.
it is of the foulest most disturbing images that go unappreciated.
Art isn't just a part of our everyday life, but it is everywhere everyday.
it is a part of me........................................................................

College is tougher than high shcool

I was in a bit of shock after the first week in college. I noticed the workload piling up! Wow! I need to really get organized, and i have to start managing my time better. I can achieve this i think that college would get easier on me. The only problem for me is i have never been organized, somehow i get everything done in my head by prioritizing assignments, work, projects, im not sure that would be a smart method fo me now that im in college. College is too expensive for me to fail. I was reading this one book taht came with my school suplies called the The Art Student Survival Guide by Jeffrey K Otto, that is very interesting and helpful book but Ill need to put the effort to survive in that school.

My New (Used) CAR!!!

I am finally driving! I can finally go to school without a ride from someone else or my parents. It does give me a scence of more freedom. But i still get nervous at times when im on the road. The fear of a deadly accident never leaves my mind. I was honestly terrified of driving because my uncle Marcelino and cousin Andy died in a car accident. I felt really sad and depressed you see, my cousin Andy was'nt only my cousin he was also my godfather, he was the one present at time of my baptism which is a big deal. Me and him were really close, so everytime i drive i think about both of them. when i went to his funeral i remember my tia (aunt) Carmen crying as well as the family there. There was alot of sadness and sorrow that day. The last memory of my Uncle and cousin alive was at a park they were sitting next to each other having a good time with the family. Well my cousin (godfather) Andy gave a 20 dollar bill I remember saying thank you to him that day. That moment hit me hard when i was a his funeral, remembering that generousity and kindness that one last time. Well the point is that driving to me is like an obstacle or speed bump in my life, which is why having this new car is a big deal to me.

First day @ Ai

My first day at my new school. Its is college not high school anymore. Somehow it seems more serious getting a bad grade if you are paying money out of your wallet for that class. well anyways i walked in i was kind of lost. i asked this one guy probably a chef instructor for help. this guy not only helped me out but he showed me the right building. i was very greatful for that. the moment i walked into class it felt a bit nervewreking. i noticed many people starring as i walked in. i thought to myself "oh crap! this isnt it." but the teacher said "i think you are in the right place". So i took a seat in the front row at the very end. i felt very confortable in the school i felt like i was welcomed like i belonged. but i still didnt really know anyone yet.
