| To There and Back Again: A D.C. Tale |
| 11.01.03 (4:01 pm) [edit] |
Moving on Holloween? :shock: Who would do such a thing?... My brother. Yep, that's right. And guess who helped him. Nope, it was me. Anyways, I'm back in VA Beach now resting my wittle head from the long drive. Actually, it didn't seem long. Well, a lot shorter then Radford. :P
We left last night around 8pm. We used the Tacoma since the Civic couldn't hold both the new $400 sony flat-screen TV and the new $300 DVD/VHS & sound entertainment system that my mom bought him... [i]spoiled brat[/i]. :? We didn't get to d.c. untill around 10:45pm due to bad drivers. But on the way there, I got a call from Ted asking me if I wanted to go to this Hollowen shin-dig. I told him I was heading to d.c., but I was like... [i]damn, if only he'd called 2 hours earlier. [/i]:( The main reason why I helped my brother move was because I had nothing planned that night. Oh, well.
My brother's new place is on 3rd Street SW. It's a 3-story town house that he and two other guys are moving into. My brother's name is Juvenal, and his roommates are Jason and Jeff... J-J-J haha. Anyways... I took some pictures, but not of everything. I made a video with my camera walking through the apartment, but the videos are too big to post. My brother's room is on the first floor with his own bathroom. The second floor has the living area and kitchen. The third floor has 2 more bedrooms and another bathroom.
Jeff and Juvenal chatting. This is the second story.

| college? |
| 10.18.03 (1:13 pm) [edit] |
i dont think college is for me. granted, i'm going to a community college and i'm not experiencing the "college experience," but i think school in general is not something i can do at this point in my life. sure, i might go back to school later in life, but i just cant deal with classes and assignments and all the other crap that comes with it. dont get me wrong, i love to learn things. but school is just not my thing.
but then why [i]am[/i] i going to college? i guess its because it was expected of me. from my family, my peers, and from society. nowadays people kinda expect high schoolers to answer "im going to college" when asked "what are you doing after high school?" saying "i dont know", "im just going to work", or even hearing "im going into the arm forces" kinda gets you surprised when you hear it. there is totally nothing wrong with doing those things with your life, but society [at least from my point of view] frowns upon them. with joining the arm forces, a major reason why a lot of people join is to get money for college. its all about college.
i feel some pressure from my friends and family also. i see all my friends are going to college, and i feel that i have to go too. and my parents always expected me to go to college after high school. the pressure increased once my older brother dropped out of school. so im the first one to go to college, and its being paid for entirely by my parents even though our family isnt financially secure. also about my parents, i want to be able to take care of them. they've worked so hard and sacrificed a lot for me that i feel i have to go to college so i can get a job to make a lot of money so i can make sure they dont have to worry about money anymore. and if i tell them "i dont want to go to school anymore," what will they think? my brother still hasnt gotten his g.e.d. and all he's doing is working. will i be a disappointment? will they feel like they were let down, again?
what would i do if i did stop going? im not sure. i think a lot about joining the military. not for money for school really, but to travel and experience things. i would hate it if i go through life and not experience things that not everyone experiences. also, i think going to boot camp will get my lazy self motivated.
so many thoughts are in my mind right now. about the future. a little bit about the past. mostly about the present. but mainly about life.

| the meaning of "sheep" |

i used "sheep" as my subject header because sheep are followers. my friends of mine started to get their own tblog sites, so i followed their lead and got one myself.
