Last Week of Classes

Wow. That word happens to be what has frequently escaped my pie hole since the beginning of last week. Its been truly hectic. I have had to scramble to turn in work and to study for finals. As is i still have work to turn in, even this very second im doing just that, turning in work that was due a while back. I truly have to give it to all my professors this semester for doing such an excellent job and for putting up with me and my inconsistencies and procrastination. I especially have to tip my hat off to Calderin, and im not just saying this because he's going to read this but because he is a wonderful professor and a kool guy in my book. I have even considered taking him again in the future if it permits. I heard he was going to teach creative writing. The only way ill do it though is if i had the time on my hand to actually write, which has been my problem through out this semester. As is i still need to turn in my work to Calderin and he had given me till this morning to do so. I got tangled up with my other class's final and now im late on the extension he gave me. i dont know if hell take it but i really hope he does. I hate to even ask because its taking advantage of someones good nature and kindness and i normally frown on that. In fact i detest that, so i have become what i hate. this is an awkward feeling and one i wish on no one. Farewell for now Blogger.

Service Learning.

a few weeks ago as i was in class, my english professor Victor Calderin addressed the whole class and informed us of a extra-credit opportunity. He said if we come back to campus at around 12pm the fire department was going to be do a presentation and all we needed to do as attend to get credit/service learning. so seeing how i was off from work and had the time to spare i figured what a better way to use my time. I met up down stairs with Angel as we sat down for the intro to the whole demonstration. at least thats what we thought it was. It turns out they where doing a practice fire drill and needed to film it. so we all signed wavers and received instructions on what to do. Angel and i had to do a bit of acting and we got filmed for what seemed to be a MDC film on fire safety. Who knows you might be seeing us soon on a campus tv. Once it was over i went home happy that i at least satisfied a requirement for my class.
