a Little LATE.

I know I’m late ya’ll but I’m not the only one so… start commenting! Please.
Okay, I got about three responses so I guess I will just have to work with that. But thank you to the ones that did comment, I appreciate it.
The few that did respond pretty much said the same things and you know I have to agree with them because I do feel like I’m burned out and I need some rest and just to relax so I don’t over work myself too hard trying to stay in school that I mess around and flunk out! They also gave me some suggestions on what I can really do for my project to help make a difference and I make an impact on things, which is really the whole purpose of these blogs.
I don’t remember who sent me the comment about putting recycling bins in the dorm but I think it was Imani, but anyway that was a good idea and I went down to the dorms to talk to someone but we already have recycling bins so I have to think of something else. I still don’t know what to do about the fact that o don’t want to do anything with the environment; I really honestly don’t have time because it is hard trying to do something with out having a group of people by your side and the best way to do that is to join a club, an I’m not in a potion to make that kind of commitment right now. I did not know that Xavier had an Environmental Club, and when I sent and email to the lady over the clubs she responded like we did not have one but we do. I seen a flyer on the wall saying that they were having a meeting but of course I wasn’t able to attend because I have to go to R.O.T.C. on Tuesday’s at 1:00pm but since my room mate and I have to walk all the way to Tulane every time we have to go over there on Tuesday s and Thursdays I have to leave like 30-40 minutes early! I am going to think of something though because I need a good grade in this class. Right know I know I have a C and hopefully I can get a good a grade on my blogs which might bring me up to a B depending on the final. I don’t care if it’s a 79.5. I’m not trying to have no more C’s. I can’t get to law school like that! I got a 78 on my on the second paper dealing with Job (Homan, you couldn’t hook me up with 2 points?) I would do the other one but no time! Well, all I can do is hope for the best but I am going to work to try and get my grade where I want it to be because I want to earn everything I get. But any way like I said, I spent some much time trying to make sure that i was okay financially, that I slipped up a little academically. But back to my project, I have some ideas I mind on what I can do. I will probably have to do it over the weekends when I have time because since I switched my major to education, Saturday take up my time because I have to take all these practice test to pass the PRAXIS exams. I really feel like I don’t need the practice, but I have to do it in order to pass a class that is worth ZERO credit! Even though I’m not as excited with this project, like I am with children I will stick to it because no one else is doing it that I know of, and I guess I kind of see why. About it still is an important issue that needs to be address and some one has to do it. Maybe I can hold like a little meeting or something and just inform people of some of the problems and see if they have any ideas or suggestions about what can be done to make improvement and also if there is really anybody interested and willing to help act on the projects. I think before thinking too big. I know realize where I stand and I have to be realistic about certain situations and circumstances. There is no way would have been able to complete what I wanted to do on my on. I would have went with my heart and did what I know I should have been doing I wouldn’t be having this problem! This is making me want to drop this class and retake so I can get a better grade but I can’t afford to so that either. I don’t know, I just have to pray about it but I honestly think that everything is going to be okay. If I need help or anything I’m sure that Homan will help me out or any one of my classmates. I’m not going to give up and in my future blogs you’ll see how my project is going because I know I can create something. I should have worked with the kids anyway and asked them if there was anything that they would like to do. Little kids like to be involved I things like that, especially since it is outdoors, anything that requires a break from schoolwork. I think I might be making hi out to be harder than what it actually is. I have to think a little smaller, it is almost like I am staring over again but that is okay. I will try to focus on having a project more to do with the community and my closer surroundings. I want something I can do on my own I don’t want to have to deal with the governor and mayor and president all those people that you have to bug and constant complain to just to get a pre written letter back saying they appreciate your concern and they are working on it. I’ll be better off on my own, that is another reason why I’m not a Poli Sci major anymore!
