Vlog? I’ll try that! ..again
Lame little video I worked on today I’m working on better quality ish just gotta get use to these converters (because u bitches wont eat up all my damn bandwidth!) I know it may look like I’m talking to myself here…. but I was singing along to my ipod…which is probably just as bad if not worse than talking to myself…
My last entry was almost 1000 words long and there was still things I forgot to say and I’m sure there were all kinds of grammar errors in that shit. I refuse to read it again! So I figure if the entry would exceed 500 words I’ll just grab the nikon. That is all!
Balancing Group Projects & “Perfect” Hair
warning…this entry is long as hell for no real reason!
I am so nervous and sleepy which makes it hard to sleep. One of my biggest phobias is public speaking in terms of presentations and things of that nature. On our syllabus it indicates we would have a debate. For whatever reason we got behind in the class and she felt like there weren’t any hot topics to do a debate on so that was 86′d. What we’re doing instead is a group project in which we’re doing a mock lobbying meeting -stares off into space- I had originally planned to just skip the debate thing so picture me mad as hell when the words group project slipped from her lips.
The reason I detest these things is simple and plain. It puts on the pressure when it just isnt you’re grade anymor,e now you’re participation can effect everyone’s grade. So I managed to dig deep within myself and just be open to the situation fact is a bitch needs either and A or B to get her financial aid back so I have to get on the good foot. In the beginning there was 4 of us. One of my class mates suggested we have an interest group that is focused on going out rescuing animals getting them rehabbed then placing these animals with the elderly so they’d have a companion. This project would help out the elderly, animals and there was some kind of way this could help out the youth but I forgot.
So we all agreed this idea felt good. Then I went home and thought more on it. We have a 50,000 budget (orginially) and I thought of the following factors:
A Facility to house the animals
Veterinarian’s to treat the animals
Ad Campaings
Expenses to get to washington
Quite frankly our budget was gone with the first two options. The next time we met up the guy who made the idea for the group didnt show up to class. Fact is he hardly ever shows up to class so maybe we were a bit naive for even thinking he’d show up for the next class so we could work together. We decided to work on a bill that already went to congress regarding same-sex marriage. Our instructor added someone else into our group because at this point we only had 3 ppl in our group. He seems cool enough and is willing to work with the concepts we have going.
I was working on mock billboards, calling clear channel for some estimates and speaking with my friend about fees and what not for certain things. Now the new guy in our group was supposed to call up radio stations to get estimates on how much 45 second commercials were. We all planned on getting our information and meeting the following day. I don’t have class on Tuesdays so it was a big deal for me to wake up out of my slumber to come on campus on a day I usually don’t. I get there about 30 minutes earlier than I have to. Every one shows up but the new guy!
We stayed there for 2 and a half hours working on the budget. Never even got to the 3-5 minute skit she wants us to do. Now today the project was supposed to be due she said well if you all need more time we can push it back til monday. Then comes in the guy who abandoned us with an idea and a dream and the motherfucker who bailed on us when we needed the radio info. Grace-el (the guy who had the idea) is all up in arms over the fact that we ditched his idea. He badgered us to change the name of the group because it had the word “gay” in it. He then proceeded to explain how he had no problem with people living their own lifestyle blah blah blah bulshit bullshit bullshit painted in FUCK-ER-RY!
Him and Tom (the guy who ditched us) tried to gang up on us to change the group name. So considering the fact that they hadn’t contributed anything one of my other group members gave in and changed the name. Then Grace-el had the nerve to ask me for notes I agreed to send them to him because I got tired of him hitting me with the “my sista” bullshit. This is why I hate working in groups! How you been M.I.A and come in and try and take over shit! This blog entry has been crazy long!
Last Friday I did a blow out on my hair and I’m still rocking it! I personally feel like Julito McCullum has perfect hair. Seriously his pony/puffs are always on point. This morning I was in a rush and didnt want to worry about ppl staring at my fro so I pulled my hair back in a low puff. One of these fine days I’ll have Julito hair… ok well it wont be all wavy but hell it’ll be big! (click the thumbnail to see it bigger)
