So its been some time since ive updated. It's due to me just being a lazy.'Lets begin.
Since my lat update alot has happened. Though i still work in JFK highschool, my title has changed. Instead of being in charge of computer repairs, the copy room and all around mexican, i am now a security gaurd. I dont know whos bright idea it was, or how did they make the assumption that id make a great, or even decent gaurd, but it is what it is. One day my two bosses were mad at me for to the best of my knowledge no reason. i later talked to one of them and was told for the various reasons for my transfer. All of them, which more or less involved me not doing my job to some degree, were not true. I dont know if i got through to her, but im still a gaurd and its not fun.
Working with the kids is stressful. These minorities have to be the biggest, most ignorant bunch of babies i have ever met. There is nothing right about them. Everyday i work there my opinion about the majority of them only worsens. Hope for the future of New York is bleak to say the least. They dont listen, and dont want to. For them school is only a place were ppl your age go to hang out. Not only dont they want to go to class, but after school is done, THEY DONT WANT TO LEAVE!!! What kind of sense does that make? There is no drive in these children. i often ask them what they are going to do after school is done (i make it a point not to say graduate because that is the last thing on their minds) and they dont know. And this is just the kids that were born in America. Im not even going to start on the immigrants. I hated my job, to say the least. On top of that the kids barely listen to me because i get confused for a student all the time. Its very hard to preform your job when people laugh at you because they are suprised to find out that you work there. i wanted to quit.
Then one day someone told me, "Dont stress it, were just babysitters." Then it all became clear to me. I was approching the children in the wrong manner. I started treating them like the babies that they are, and they responded positively. No longer was i yelling "get to class." Instead i would say "common guys your gonna be late to class." The words make a world of a difference.
In my time with the students i have gotten to know alot of them. Most are as i stated above, but a few are very nice and intelligent. Most of the people i talk to seem to be women. Now this isnt normally a problem, but when my boss is next to me and a group of girls come to me screaming "HI MILES!" and give me hugs and kisses it looks bad. One of the girls that has taken a liking to me is worth mentioning. Her name is Tereasa. She is a riot to be around because she is so blunt, loud and even racist. Its like watching Carlos Mencia live. I have 2 probelems with her though. One is that she dosnt know how to turn off being loud. I know one day shes going to be loud and im going to get in trouble. The other problem is that shes in a gang. Know it dosnt directly affect me, but she does spend alot of time around me, and i hope that people dont start associating us together.
Now that last problem probably saved me ALOT of problems. On Thursday i was "gaurding" one of the lunch room doors. A kid walks up and tries to walk through, but i block his way, saying "sir its a closed period you cant go through." He replies with ÿo get off me." I say ïm not on you your on me, if u back up...." He interrupts me saying, "Yo i swear on my blue if u dont get out,,," and pushes his way through me. I call security, because o yea thougn im a security gaurd i cant touch the kids, and he gets all mad and whatever. Later him and Teresa talk about it (they apparently know eachother) and he threatens me. She defends me and threatens him back. According to her im safe, but ill still watch my back, cuz bitches are crazy in the hood.
Outside of work i dont do much. My love life is none exsistant though i thought it would be. I was wrong.
The world of Magic: The gathering has been good to me. I won FNM, a few drafts and.I've entered 2 Pro Tour Qualifiers. I did horribly in the first one going 2-3, but last nights i did amazing in. i went 5-0 in the first 5 rounds gaurenteeing me a slot into the top 8. I attribute my success to the deck i opened up, it was amazing (or so i think). In the top 8 my plan was to stay away from white because i dont think it is as powerful as the other colors. Yes Sean attacking with flankers is nice but having spiders that never die is better. I ended up being mono green with 17 creatures, 4 of which were said spiders that never die. I think the deck was very good, btu i lost in the first round. I dont feel too bad because i lost to Teferi's moat and i had no enchantment removal. in games 2 and 3 he always had it and there was nothing i could do to it. Otherwise i would have won the games being i had infi creatures on the board and he only had a few. I got a pin and a box of cards. Cant complain.
Im a little frustrated about the upcomming states tournament. I havnt tested much because I dont know whats best. i have less than two weeks and have been jumping from deck to deck and not being satisfied with anything. I can only hope that either ill find something good or someone will give me a list.
Well thats all for now.
