The great lengths this procrastinator will go...

Although I believe it is too early for anything to do with Christmas, here I am watching Home Alone 2: Lost in New York.

And honestly, it's even too early for this picture since we're still over a month away from Halloween.

Simply because I don’t feel like doing my COMM 233 reading and homework. And srsly, the tv has been on since 12pm.

Feeling edified ♥

After reading my cousin-in-law's blog, I'm always uplifted and edified. Her joy in the Lord is infectious and really makes my day better. Thank you LORD for putting Daniela in my life ♥

Fall 2010

I know it seems like I abandoned you blogger but I'm not the one to blame. You can blame my incredibly, horribly, boring yet busy summer. 

Two summer school classes, which overlapped, was not as smart idea. I passed one and the other I ALMOST passed. I don't know about anyone else who has ever gotten a D in a class but doesn't it just make you really mad that you were so close to that C yet so far? Math has always been my weak subject, along with science. It was business calculus in 6 weeks. I could barely grasp the concept of one chapter before we were onto the next one.

Now I'm back at CSUF, retaking business calculus of course :[ At least this time the class session is not 4 hours twice a week. It's now 1 hr 15 minutes twice a week which is so much easier to handle. PLUS, my professor is very good at her job. She explains everything so clearly and neatly, as if she had tied it up in a pretty bow. I really like this semester's schedule but it's a bummer that I'm not tackling much of my major classes. 

This semester's schedule is 

RTVF 371 (contemporary american film) 

Math 135 (business calc) 

BUAD 301 (advanced business writing) 

COMM 233 (mass communication in modern society). 

I tried getting into COMM 361 (principles of public relations) for my minor but the system wouldn't allow it, saying that I didn't meet the requisites. If I want to add the class I have to go see the communications dept. I'm not entirely sure I want to take the class this semester considering it's another night that I have to drive to the Irvine campus and back. Although I really should take advantage of the units, and I would avoid traffic both ways. Decisions....

Summer Reading

My 2010 summer reading list includes Where the Sidewalk Ends, so I thought it would be nice to post a poem per day.

So, let's begin!

Invitation

If you are a dreamer, come in,
If you are a dreamer, a wisher, a liar,
A hope-er, a pray-er, a magic bean buyer...
If you're a pretender, come sit by my fire
For we have some flax-golden tales to spin.
Come in!
Come in!

Summer is...

a beginning, an ending, and sometimes a last chance.

I have been on "vacation" for two weeks now and I have not done anything worthy of mention. Monday, I start macro economics at COC. I thoroughly hated the class at CSUF (received a D, 67%) because it bored me to sleep and sometimes to tears. Thankfully this will be a very quick, and minimally painful 4 week session.

I'm still fighting to be released from the prerequisite course for applied calculus at Ventura college. I emailed the required documents and followed up with a phone call. The guy, Steve Manriquez (whoever that is!), hasn't bothered to call back. My registration date was May 24th! Thankfully registration is open until later and there are still 11 open spots in the class. I passed college algebra (the prerequisite) with a C+ so there should be no problem. Also, Applied Calculus is shown as the equivalent of Math 135 (Business Calculus at CSUF), so having it count for my requirement won't be a hassle.

As for jobs, I've applied to Target, Petsmart, Chipotle, Chase, Six Flags (bastards!), and as daycare aid.

I need the money to pay my month credit card bills. I wish I never signed up for them!

I don't understand!

I saw this on my Yahoo! webpage and I just had to see how badly Megan Fox had put her foot in her mouth to cause her to get dropped from the Transformers 3 sequel.

I don't understand these actors: Shia LeBouf and Megan Fox. They keep trashing the past films (or film* for Megan Fox). Why would you trash-talk about the produces, directors, screenplay etc. who worked on the past films you were in, the ones that gave you JOBS and CELEBRITY status? Do they really think that people will take them as something more than an actor, perhaps a movie critic? I think they just have a bad, no horrible, case of word vomit. It just seeps out and they can't seem to control it.

I understand and agree that everyone is entitled to their own opinion. BUT when someone starts criticizing jobs done when they personally have NO experience or knowledge in that part of the industry, it makes them look like jerks who are being arrogantly modest.

Do they think that criticizing these people will get them more acting parts? I think that is a seriously faulty plan. Why would they want to hire someone who, although delivers, will attack the film and give it bad press later on?

Of course it all comes down to one thing: pride.

* Jennifer's Body isn't worthy to be even called a film. More like a piece of crap. IMHO.

A sad day at Cal State Fullerton

Around 11am this morning a woman committed suicide by jumping off the sixth story of one of our parking structures. It's so sad and my prayers go out to her family and everyone who was affected. People actually saw her fall and that must be traumatizing.

Lord help the lost.
