What's Been Going On
I'm sitting in my room on the phone with my friend Roland. I really don't feel like writing right now, but I'm doing it anyway.
I've been working everday from Monday to Thursday. On Fridays I have classes and lectures (can you say boring?!). Working is rough here. It seems like everyday that I have to get up and go to work I absolutely dread it. And it's not like the money can motivate me because I'm making minimum wage... and taxes are a b!*%# !!!!! I'm so glad that I'm exempt from federal taxes though. I only hav eto pay social security, medicare, and state taxes, but that takes enough as it is.
I have computer classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I like that class. I'm actually earning college credit for it, and we are covering a lot of material. We learned basic HTML codes, Unix, C++, and next week we are doing Java. This past week I made my first C++ program. It was pretty simple. It solved mathematical equations.
I went to Santa Fe a couple of weeks ago. That was pretty nice. I got some stuff for my entire family while I was down there. And I'm boosted because I got my softball glove in the mail today so I can play softball!! It's this other girl here from Archbishop Carroll that plays and then there are a couple of boys that play baseball that would be willing to play with us. I can't wait until he gets her glove and ball so we can play. She plays catcher on Carroll's Varsity team. I hate the fact that when people ask me what position I play I can't give them a straight answer. I play pretty much everything and anything that my coach wants me to play with the exception of pitcher and catcher. I played catcher once and all I can say about that is NEVER AGAIN!!!!
I'm kind of pissed right now because the food here is horrible. Plus these NASA People gave us a Joint Program Assignment two weeks before it's time to leave and they know that we have to work on our final presentations. And on top of that the program that I am at was supposed to give us the guidelines for our final project a while ago. They still haven't done it and the stuff is due in a couple of weeks. I had been e-mailing the coordiantor to eternity about the junk and he never responded. People be acting so trifling out here... but that's another entry. I turned in my abstract this past Friday and I hope it's okay cuz if it's not then I really don't care. I even asked the man before I wrote the abstract what they wanted to see, or for some type of guidelines and he said, "There are no guidelines." WTF?? I just don't care anymore
On the plus side, I applied for this internship at the Bank of America. I don't get the results until like the end of October. It seems pretty cool. It's geared more towards community service. The candidates they are looking have to have a strong background in community service. The purpose of the program is to build young leaders that will give back to their community once they become successful. I hope I get it. IDK. My mom said that she hadn't heard anything about it like being publicized on the news or the radio. I don't know if a lot of kids from the region applied (Washington Metro Area) and how thick or slim my chances are. I just hope for the best.
I'm tired of typing now... and I'm about to go eat some more nasty food from La Posada (the campus cafeteria).
