happy valentine's day!!!

hello faithful readers!
I'm back again, and unfortunately, I have the sniffles. What bothers me about it is that it hit me like a ton of bricks...BAM! yesterday I woke up with a bad cough, bad enough that I was afraid to cough. The bad thing is that I had a mid term yesterday, a quiz, and a mock speech. I fell asleep early on Thursday, but I had no clue why. I couldn't concentrate on studying for my Poli Sci mid term. I think I did mediocre on it, thanks to not skipping any Poli Sci classes. Especially since I might major in the subject. I just can't stand the teacher, he reminds me a lot of Mark Nienstaedt, a former lawyer turned teacher, in terms of being stubborn and thinking his assumptions are always right.
So I have some kind of cold, and it's actually the first time i've gotten sick on campus. The last time i got sick was when I was at home. I probably caught it from someone here and then got sick once I went home. I was sick over Christmas day. It came to my advantage when I didn't want to be with my mom's side of the family anymore. I hate that side. All they do is complain when in reality they should be grateful because my mom got their illegal asses here just in time so they wouldn't get busted. Does that sound at all fair to you? Give shit to your aunt because she brought you over? Last time I checked, the probability of my cousins still living in Mexico, getting shit pay, and having a ton of kids, was very high. I hate to be so stereotypical, but it's true. I can't wait for break, only one more week...I get to see Tricia! in Boston! I get to see boston for reals this time, which I am so excited about. The last time I was near that area, I was looking at boarding schools in New England, but didn't get into anywhere I wanted to go to. So, that's basically why I went to Conserve...teehee...now you know my secret.
Well, i'm off to eat. I've been sleeping all day and it's 3:50pm. I can sleep an amazing amount when i'm sick.

It's hard to lie when you're drunk

Hmmm. I've been keeping a promise to write a really long blog, but I just can't seem to find for it. I don't know why. Well, recently four of us have been getting together to play a good game of back alley bridge. It's a long game to describe, so I won't bother with it. Anyway, it's been snowing like crazy lately. People have been complaining about it, but I certainly haven't. Hell, this sort of makes up for the lack of snow that PA has. inspired by that, I finally gave in and bought some college logo wear. After all, it's 15% off. I needed new lounge pants anyway. I went about a semester with that one Lyco shirt they gave me at the beginning of the year. Well, gotta invest my loan money somewhere good, right? Anyway, the day was pretty uneventful. I went to work, and I also slept in for my only class, I have no idea how that happened since my cell phone is my alarm and i'm usually awake when it goes off.
Anyway, I'm psyched that this possible Boston trip to see Tricia might work out. I haven't seen her in a loooonggg time, and I misses her a lot :( With her help, my mommy, and I, i think we can pull it together and make it work. I've been to Boston once, but we didn't stop long enough to sight see and what not. So i'm excited. I also have to get all this together. Afterall, i'm registered to be gone 2 days of break :)
Anyway, I just remembered the shitload of hmwk that I have to do.
Until next time,
Ciao amores.

American Gangster

So I watched the movie today, thanks to my college film showings, etc. That thing is great. They show movies Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights. I usually catch the movies Sunday nights. Anyway, I went to see American Gangster. Let me tell you right off the bat, I liked the ending. There's nothing much to it, but it's one of the strongest scenes in the film. The film is based on a true story of a gangster, and unlike any other gangsters, this is a family of black gangsters instead of your typical Italian or Russian mafias. I like those too, but this diversity made me crack up a little, simply because you don't see too many of them. Anyway, before I make myself sound any racist, overall, it was a good movie. It had a good theme (hurrah for gangster movies!), although the beginning was incredibly slow moving. That's one of the things I didn't like. It was very realistic, so there was none of this "love is in the air" and "my life is a complete tragedy, let's slow everything down" kind of crap. I recommend it, and give it...let's see, the star system is over used a lot, so let's go foreign to make me sound cooler :P i'll go with puffmais, german for popcorn. It also kind of sounds like spanish. So, I give this....3.5 out of 5 puffmaise's.
