I really don't feel like updating so I'll just make this one quick.
But um.... I'm Back in E-town, nice to be back.
Basically what's happened since last time I updated: Hung out with friends. Band Camp. Football Game. 'Cats Win!. Partying ensues. Trumpet Bondage. Met mentor Teacher. Move-in.
Now NUMB 2010. Truthfully I was a little worried about this year. I felt I was going to fit in the band, cuz all the really close trumpet friends were no longer in NUMB. But by the end of the 1st day, I knew it was gonna be pretty kool. We got 22 trumpets this year and I seriously LOVE all of them. Just as they love me. It's been great, they'll definitely make this year very enjoyable. so NUMB's gonna be kool.
Mentor Teachers. Okay first let me just start off and say, ETHS is ridiculously large, like no one should have a high school that big, like i don't understand. But I met my two mentor teacher they seem pretty good. It was kinda overwhelming, because I have to do so much stuff. But I know its gonna take some time to get adjusted to the culture. I'm pretty excited though, I'll start my observation probably next week going Tuesday and Thursday, I need to find a solid mode of transportation though. Currently I'm looking at take the bus (205) which I'm really not gonna like, but ehhhh.
Also enjoy this gem of awesomeness about Chicken
I seriously wanna make this my life's anthem for about 2 weeks.
that's all
PEACE & CHICKEN GREASE

Read's to go...
read: red-s tah go (as in "ready to go")
Been home for sometime, almost 2 weeks, and I'm ready to head back to good ol' e-town.
It's been nice being home and all, seeing the fam, and the familarity, but I'm SO Bored.
Nothing here changes. On the surface things change, like the furniture and the fact that there's kool-aid back in the house, but it still the same folks and same interactions. Nothing has changed. which I guess is a good thing, ya know with stability and such, but at this point in my life, I've had enough of the same ol' same ol'.
or maybe it had something with me not going home doing spring quarter at NU, then coming home for like 4 days, heading off to denver, basically living by myself out there for 2 months, then heading back to Illinois, i guess where I now have to rely on people, where in denver and at NU, i'm depending on myself mostly. Which I can say I enjoy, i like the freedom the independence.
which is why I'm looking forward to senior year so much. So much happening!
the Big Thing: Student Teaching, WHEW! as I said I'll be at ETHS, which I thinks gonna be really awesome, my mentor teachers already seem pretty awesome, although we've only communicated by email.
Next thing(s): NUMB and NCE, it's my last year with these organization and I'm really excited about both. NUMB, will have 23 trumpets this year! So excited about this. This means maybe like 8 per part, where as the past three years we had only 5 per part. Major Development! And in NCE i'll be Treasurer, even though this will be hectic position, I'm excited about it and the upcoming 40th anniversary, it's gonna be pretty awesomeness.
But with both of these organization, I'm a senior, so people are defintiely gonna be looking up to me, asking questions about stuff, I just think it's pretty kool to finally be back at the top of the experience chain again. And plus I get to the things seniors do, ya know. Ahhh it's gonna be amazing year!
Next things: Promote 360 and Work. Unfortnately these two things fall last for me, even I love P360 so much, and I love the things we are able to do within SESP, and work I mean that's money. But I have to fit these in somewhere most def this quarter as well.
And including classes, that's a total of 6 things I'm juggling this quarter. So I think it's gonna be pretty crazy. But my guess is it's not gonna be as bad as I'd imagine. I mean one thing I learned this summer about myself I always expect the worst thing possible, but then nothing is ever that bad. As with BT, I had no idea what to expect, but I just imagine stuff being really crazy and me feeling all loner-ish and stuff, which in fact it wasn't that bad. I can say there was only a couple of times I felt really alone, but those were really random times.
Anywayz I'm looking so forward to senior year. I'm excited to be done, and I'm so glad God has brought me this far, like when I think back to freshman year, it's just amazing I made it this far. And I'm not through. More to come.

Driving, the Dentist, and Disaster
Driving
so I gotta big goal set for the next 3 weeks( my actual summer): get my driver license/.This time for real........ maybe. But on Monday I went driving after a long, long, break and surprisingly, I felt pretty comfortable and natural with it. I mean I admit I am not the best driver and I definitely need more practice, but I feel like in an emergency situation, I would be an okay driver to get someone somewhere safely. It would be pretty awesome though to have my DL before going into my senior year of college, then I guess I'd feel pretty grown. But then again it's still not that big of deal if I don't get it suppose. i mean................idk.
Day at the Dentist
Strange things happens at the Dentist office (remember this post?).
This time I go to the Dentist office and I'm walking up the window and say my name and then the assistant lady responds, "Oh I met your dad and brother already, but I hadn't met you" and I'm like "oh, really", thinking though she was just talking about my actual brother and dad.
And then I get to the dentist chair and she asks me " Do you also play an instrument?" and I'm like "yeah, I play trumpet" but I'm thinking 'How did she know that I played an instrument? My Brother doesn't play an instrument". And then something happens but she's like "Yeah I met your brother Alex" and I'm like "No, Alijah" and she's like "I'm pretty sure his name was Alex" and I'm thinking "Really lady? I know my brother's name", but then I was just thinking she just messed/forgot up his name.
But then she's like "Oh, ya know what I was thinking of another family". And then I put 2 and 2 togetherto get four to know she's talking about the Francois, and she thought I was Andrew, a friend of mine from high school. And I tell her "yeah we use to get mixed up all the time". This is so hilarious because people in high school usta to call us each other all the time and some people definitely though we were brothers. I truly think it's because we were black, but then again....idk.
But just that's one thing that happened at the dentist.
so now I'm at the dentist right, getting a filling and you know dentists and people like to talk to you while they are doing stuff in your mouth (that's what she said). and my dentist is a NU alum so he's talking about northwestern, football etc. Meanwhile I'm like making noises like "uh-uh, mmmm, etc". But then I learn that the other dentist in the office. Dr. Lacoste was a NUMBalum, and they showed me his NU room, and it had pictures of him in band uniform, I think he's pretty old cuz those pictures were quite looked old. But it just lead me to the conclusion that NUMB is everywhere, but I really want to talk to him now just cuz he's a NUMBalum.
Clean House
Basically my favorite new show now. Started watching it some weekends ago in Denver. It's basically a show where they clean up messy houses, sell the stuff in yard sale, and give them room make-overs. The first shows I watched were the Messiest House in America, which were just crazy, I just couldn't understand how people would live in those conditions, like it was so disgusting. But then it just made think of the saying "Cleanliness is next to Godliness" I mean I think that true, because the people who often have these messy home got messed up minds, they cling on to stuff instead of clinging on to God, so yeah I think that's true. And I've never had problems with clinging on to mass quantities of stuff, sometimes a lot of times you gotta let stuff go though. But I loved this show. Niecy Nash is hilarious, and reminds me so much of myself.
Another random thing......hmmmm I could talk about senior year, but that deserves a Whole 'Notha Post. which I probably do later....so until then hope you enjoyed this one.

On Break Updation
Sorry, I haven't updated in awhile, I was breaking from the blog (but you probably don't care anywayz, neither to I....duh....)
But um break's been pretty good. I put it up there (wherever that is) as one best winter breaks ever. Like I just really enjoyed myself, I feel like I generally just had fun and break'ded. A well need break before heading back the "E" and the world of academia.
More fun to come though with the upcoming bowl trip (AHHH!). I Leave for E-town on the 28th, then heading down to Tampa with the rest of NUMB on the 29th. Whether we win or lose, I'm fairly certain I'm gonna remember this trip and I'm gonna have a grand ol' time. And since the game is on the 1st day of the new year, it'll be the first time I have NOT been with the familia on New Years Eve, so yeha. It's one for the books(??).
Just excited about the new year in general. 2010. WOW! weird. A decade in the millenium and I'm still here (THANK YA JESUS!!)
Speaking of Jesus, Christmas was kool, I think I'm officially over it (not the whole day that Jesus was born thing) but like presents and stuff, I feel like it's all unecessary. Fun, Food, and Family (the 3 F's) that's all I need for holidays. I got a new phone and some clothes, which was kool. But I wouldn't've (<--whoa contraction mania!) cared if I didn't get a thing.
one more post to before the new year, i guess.
not sure yet.
anywayz

The Procrastination Continues........
so one again instead of doing homework
i'm once again writing on this here blog
to tell ya somethings that is (are) on my minds.....
yo, yo, check it out!
fo reals tho!
2016 Olympics
will be revealed tomorrow @ 11:55 am. Will Chicago go get it? The whole world or at least my whole world will be tip toeing (who says that?) with anticipation. I don't want them/us to get cuz it'll change so much stuff that we know about Chicago. But ya know when ya got the President & Oprah (what is up with this chick, it's like dang Oprah got mad power yo!) backing you up we are bound to get it. If we don't, I'm pulling the race card ( And yes I actually I have a standard 52 card deck, with all the races in the world..) because I can. we'll see.
Marching Band Tuba Tumble
remember when I posted that video about the Ohio State Tuba player knocking out that cameraman?.Well, here's an even funnier one and it comes from the one and only Northwestern University Marching Band (Go 'Cats!....????). (Goodness around the 1:10 mark, but you should probably watch the build up)
Top that Ohio State! We had two Tubas involved. This is particular funny to me because I had no idea that this had happened while I was marching this. It's one of the funniest things ever. This will go down in the history books
So this is the portion of the blog where I wanted to write something really insightful....but I don't feel like so I won't and I'll save that for another post or probably not.
yeah
PEACE & CHICKEN GREASE!!!
