Februaric Days

My Capstone Project has officially started. That means all hell has been let loose in the senior class. Some of us have already started on it and are working on it like headless chickens. There are a few who still don't know which topic to chose or what to do theirs on.

I have chosen to do something I enjoy. Not necessarily as a career but as a hobby and a side thingy in the future. And as for February - I finally made my drivers licence today! :D the certificates been sitting on the table for like a month now -____- oh well, at least now I don't need to drive illegally. Now as for my car .... lets not talk too much of it. All I need to say are these words: Very Old 1993 Toyota Corolla. Yeah yeah, you get the picture.Now the brightside: I can finally apply for a PAYING JOB. Don't get me wrong, the job I have now is awesome! Executive Administrative Assistant and Directer of Public Relations. The only problem is that its a nonprofit organization and I don't get paid. But it truly does look good on my resume.

First Post of 2012

Well, looks like it's been forever since I've last blogged**

Its been quite a few months. Senior year is really getting into action. I just wanted to say that I have seen one of the most graphic things in my life. A few days ago, I saw a man on the street - who was involved in a hit and run accident. There was a giant pool of blood around his head. We were all hoping that he is just unconscious and will be better soon, but found out an hour or two later that he had been confirmed dead.

As for school, my semester grade didnt look so good because of the stupid Pre-calculus class and because of Anatomy class. I think I scored low because of the teacher being super hard on us. He was a great teacher though. Math was never really my thing. Although I do try.

Now that I have the school Yearbook to help complete and my own Capstone assignment, I will be very busy for the next few weeks. For now, I'm just waiting for May to come already. I want to get out of High School already and start living life. Get a job, buy a car, go places, spend money, go to college, and get the best job one could want. *Sigh*. Then again, I want to cherish these moments I have in High school.


I'm getting mixed feelings now.

Happy November!

Hey everyone! Happy November, Happy Thanksgiving, and Happy Birthday to me. Lol. Thanksgiving went awesome this year. We had a giant Turkey, Mac’n Cheese, Gravy, Garlic Mashed Potatoes, Chicken Stew, Corn, Apple Pie, and Ice-creame. :) Everything home made during noon. Damn that oven was on for soooo long. But now, we’re having a Post-Thanksgiving dinner party for family on this upcoming Sunday. I’ve already decided on the menu - A Turkey with a Desi twist. It will have Tandoori marinade and different kinds of spices. Then I will have a chicken and bean soup. Then some Biryani. And those are the main stuff. We will still have the side things like mashed potatoes, and Corn Bread Stuffing.

My Birthday is coming up this week :D Woohoo. That means I can start my PhotoDiary. I will take a picture everyday, and have a description. That photo will resemble the highlight of my day. :D

Also - I got accepted to Wayne State University! Yay! Now, time to ditch the University of Michigan and drop my admission there. Wish me luck.

My Future -- Explained

So a lot of people ask me "what are you gonna be in your life?". Hmmm... I will give an answer but I cant guarantee that it will go as planned.


Well, lets start off with education.
I will graduate this upcoming June (2012). I have applied to the university of Michigan, got accepted, received the scholarship, but my ass still ain't going there. Too much driving, very confusing campus, and classes are advanced. I've decided to go to Wayne state university for my undergraduate studies. ♥ their tuition is lower, quality education, and in downtown Detroit. I wanted a degree in public health, but non of these colloges offer it as an undergraduate course =\ UofM doesn't have a single thing I wanna go into. I've decided to major in health sciences with human nutrition. That way, when I go for my masters in public health, I'll have some background knowledge.  So there we go. Graduation from FIA, Wayne State University for an undergraduates degree in Nutrition. Then to another university for my masters and most likely (98% sure) for PhD.


Now, I'm not gonna be in Michigan my whole life... duh! My career will require a lot of traveling. Once I get my degree, I will sign up with the Red Cross or Peace Corps or some nonprofit relief corporation and travel to developing/underdeveloped nations to provide health services. Once I get my masters, I will work with UNICEF and take on a research position in another country.


But focusing more after receiving my bachelors.
The job I wish to take on after my bachelors is Health Counseling. ;) but not in Michigan. This will require a really populated city. And hehe, if your thinking New York City, then your ass thought right! I want to live in an apartment in Manhattan (kind of expensive, but not with a roommate). This will cost about $2-3,000 dollars a month for a two bedroom rental. Its aiite ;) you get paid like that in new York too :P health counseling jobs usually take place at clinics and hospitals. And we all know there are hundreds of them there.


Now lets fast forward!--
I've comeback from an assignment from Senegal or even India. What do I do know?
Aside from NYC, I've always wanted to live in LA. And that I shall do! But-- I will have my own company there too! A Health Clinic with a Health store (like GNC or Walgreens). With a heavy population, I will get a lot of people coming in. This will give the opportunity to open up other branches in other places. I shall receive grants and become sponsored so that my company can keep growing and provide service.
Those are my educational and career aspirations.

Hamtrashy Cops

Hamtramck Cops are so fucking rude! Fucking bitches need to learn some manners, and stop asking questions so curtly!

-Firstly, they really need more diversity in the force. All I've been seeing are white officers. So far, I havent seen a single Arab, Asian, or Black person on the force, although I've heard a friend speaking of a black person on the force.

-Secondly, their asses need some courses in manners. They have to speak politely when they are questioning or dealing with someone who is also polite and cooperating. If a cop acts like a total bitch to you, then of course you're gonna get pretty pissed off. If the person is a thug or someone who is not cooperating and rude then he deserves that kid of tone.

I dont want to bad mouth my own city. The city I grew up in. But I cant take anymore.

Lmfao! Im keeping my future children away from Disney! Lol.
