  • Well, just got my grades back. Two Bs, a C, and a C-. That's a GPA of 2.42. Wow...I don't think I've ever gotten in the 2 region for a GPA in my life. I know that sounds utterly elitist, but at the moment my grades really need to be higher. Now my scholarship will probably be cut by Williams. I dunno how it'll affect the scholarships I applied to. I need to figure out a way to make more money. Probably work more, whatever I can find. Either that or take out more college funds. Oh well. Do what you have to. Not the first person and certainly worse than me.

    I started my Winter Study class today - Peer Support Training. I really enjoy it. Ought to be good experience for me.

    I need to write more and work more on my wordplay, far as rap goes. I need to write, period, far as my novel goes. I think I'll google search something for publishing short stories right now....

    I read on some forum earlier today someone say Rap was a dying genre. Granted, most of the real lyricism has gone underground, but I'll just leave you with this:

    Since I'm in a position to talk to these kids and they listen -
    I ain't no politician, but I kick it wit' 'em a minute
    'Cause, see, they call me a menace -
    And if the shoe fits, I wear it,
    But if it don't, then y'all swallow the truth,
    Grin, and bear it
    Now, who's the king of these rude, ludacris, lucrative lyrics?
    Who could inherit the title? Put the youth in hysterics
    Using his music to steer it, sharing his views and his merits
    But there's a huge interference - they're saying you shouldn't hear it
    Maybe it's hatred I spew
    Maybe it's food for the spirit
    Maybe it's beautiful music I made for you to just cherish
    But I'm debated, disputed, hated, and viewed in America
    As a motherfuckin' drug addict -
    Like you didn't experiment?
    Now, now - that's when you start to stare at who's in the mirror
    And see yourself as a kid again
    And you get embarressed
    And I got nothing to do but make you look stupid as parents
    You fuckin' do-gooders - too bad you couldn't do good at marriage
    -Eminem

    What was that you said again? Eh, forget it - the utter talent of this is probably totally over your head anyway.

  • I'm totally feeling you in the grades department. And your ass too, but that's for later >.>I'm surprised that it's actually harder to get the homework done in college than at stevenson, I always thought it would be the other way around :/

  • I'm not sure if the deadline is actually march 1st. thats what I need to double check. I was just really nervous at school cause my counselor hasn't called me down yet and i was afraid i was going to miss the deadline for sending in the application. i'm totally late with this stuff, but at least I'm doing it. haha.
