I wish there was a 4G network for ATT that I can take advantage of while waiting for class or waiting for an appointment. Sitting here at MHS just to get a freakin high school transcript. Wish I can surf the net on my iPhone at super quick speeds to read articles and upload stuff while I’m waiting right now.
After taking chem, I know I’m a work in progress after having not taken chemistry in 5 years. I can’t help but think about all the friends I’ve lost throughout the years. All the misunderstandings and lack of awareness on my part, as well as my lack of maturity and the determination. This past year has made me realize that as time goes by and everyone starts their careers and you haven’t really kept in close touch with others, it can be heartbreaking to see your old friends look down or ignore your calls. I guess that’s just life; you just gotta suck it up and keep moving forward with your goal in mind. You’ll meet new friends and acquaintances, and one thing I just need to keep in mind is to appreciate the present. At the same time think about my future and gain strength and wisdom to improve myself as a person. One reminder to myself is to not give up on life and to keep embracing every moment God gives you because you never know when he’ll take it away. God bless everyone
Age ain’t nothing but a state of mind. It’s retarded to fight with family over stupid shit. We gotta love each other. We gotta be wiser over the choices we make. I wanna be a better person, wiser and more knowledgeable. I want to become more aware of my thoughts and actions.
From what I’ve learned about interpersonal communication is that it’s tough to employ interpersonal communication strategies especially when its natural to be reactive and defensive. It’s easy to be protective over siblings. When you have a younger sister, it’s a rite of passage for boyfriends and significant others to go through the hazing or interrogation phase. It’s a part of life; it’s a rite of passage. What do I say to my dad to let kilo go. Why does it bother me that I want a bachelors now. My cousin was right; if I didn’t finish my bachelors before, then I won’t ever finish with school. It’s time to go back after this semester. Eminem’s song on my iPod during my Workout made me realize that now is the time to handle my shit more than ever. No one talks to me anymore, even though i want to so bad to communicate with others and make it up to them. It’s like what do you say after all these years if everyone thinks you’re weird. I act like a fucking uncle. How does it feel to not be able to have the support or rapport of old friends?
Started smoking again. Three cigs so far on my second day. I read Debra Moore’s blog on accepting responsibility and it has opened up my eyes and helped me become aware of not blaming anyone or complaining. It’s all about action and doing what it takes to get myself back on track to be successful. Time to finish this semester off and study to get certifications for IT. Do I really want to drop my public health class and bootcamp class and just focus on the three classes I’m taking right now? I don’t need public health; it will jeopardize my gpa though. University of Phoenix is expensive; is it worth the investment??
When you isolate yourself, you do not hurt anyone else except yourself. That’s a fact. Stupid decisions or it’s best to say not-so-bright choices have made me without a degree and unnecessarily stressed out. Constant comparisons to others like my cousins and the situation I’m in. I got myself a dog, I signed up for volunteer opportunities which I didn’t need (as my moms said to me). Now all I have is self-blame and a feeling of unaccomplishment.
Once you hit rock bottom, there’s no where else to go but up. It’s like working your way up to the lead biker when you are riding a bike race. You know you have the ability, you just need to take action and steadily work your way up to the front. Life is truly like a marathon. Only the strong-willed can make it to the finish. It’s all about who can go strong the longest.
It’s time to get my shit together; time to be selfish. Fck everyone else, it’s all about you Tim! Handle your shit
George St Pierre — for his work ethic and to become the most balanced fighter he can be. Just like the Greeks preached, it’s all about moderation.
Bruce Lee - for an outstanding personality and heart, and because he was pretty strong for an Asian dude. Also, because he was the shit.
I just keep thinking about other’s perceptions of me; becoming more self-aware of myself and the decisions I’ve made. It’s best to focus on the present and focus on the task at hand— school. It’s all about doing one thing, staying positive. It’s discouraging to think about the length of time for me to transfer to sdsu; is it really worth it to go back to ucsd? That’s when one begins to realize the consequences of his actions; when things aren’t going so great. Now, is the time to man up and block out everything. Remain optimistic and remain headstrong; forget the past. You made mistakes Tim, and it’s ok. What you need to do is do the best you can at school(Grossmont) and focus on succeeding (getting A’s in your classes), then worry about what the future brings. Do you really want to work part-time at Home Depot?? Is that where you want to be working at; not much job opportunities at the moment. Stay positive— what can I gain from working at Home Depot or Jack in the box? One last reminder— remember why you quit Cal-Western; you want a better future for yourself. Others would do anything to go back to school. So, don’t take this opportunity for granted. Yes, PIMA looks like a great opportunity. It’s best to think about how expensive it is though. It’s not cheap and you won’t find a job right away. You can learn faster. Is the time really worth it for you?? Class sucks at community college; cmon Tim, handle your shit.
