I'm finally updating

Guess because now I feel I have time, and plus I'm kinda bored actually, well in addition to procrastination but it'll all get done tomorrow.

First of all this is my 300th post. Woot! (this has taken forever......). Yeah I don't know when my next posts will be, but whateves....it's cool.


TWO. blogger has changed incredibly much, but hey that happens all the time with this social networking thing.....


3) this will probably be a rambling of sorts, cuz I'm just typing as I go and stuff..


#4 Teaching is a lot of work. Hardest thing I've ever done in my life. and honestly I'm not enjoying it as much as I thought I would. Maybe because I'm just focusing too much on the negative stuff. I don't know I just want it to be better already.


V. But my students are great. I just want them to learn. And that's not happening with everyone.... But they provide me with plenty of laughter and amusement. They definitely give my life meaning, definitely can see my purpose. just wish it was easier i suppose. Yet I realize that mathematics, at least the mathematics I teach is not really my passion. I definitely like math, but not as much as I use to. And I think it's because I don't see as much usefulness for it out-of-school context. Again I'm talking about the mathematics I teach. (sigh)

F. It also made me realize how much I LOVE music...I love singing (duh) and listening to music is so awesome.  I love listening for small inflection or changes, and things that are slightly out of tune. I can't really describe it, but I love it...

Six.  I need to go to church more often/ find a church home. Need it. It's weird being an adult, and having to officialize (making up words) so many things, like what I believe in religious, my (non-existent) political views/voting, paying bills, spending habits, food and shopping. Alot of stuff was based on what my parents did, and now on my own I now have the decision to do WHATEVER, and that's what scary to me because I don't know what to do I suppose....

Neves. I don't like being an adult. It's hard. I just think my life is tough in general, cuz I'm learning to rely on myself, which is usually is alright until I don't want to do anything. (which often happens on the weekend) so basically my life consist of nothingness (besides teaching), which makes adulthood seem awfully boring...eh.


ATE. My birthday is coming up soon. 23. I want to do something AWESOME. like drink. with friends in my apartment.  


9. My apartment is still pretty bare. I haven't had the time (more so the will) to go out and buy stuff. I'm slowly getting there though ( I got a rug!). Hopefully by the end of the year ( calendar year I mean) I'll have my living looking pretty nice. Hopefully....


!*. this is the last one. I don't know the next time I'll update. Hopefully before the year is over. This was fun. random updates  about stuff in my life. I could probably write more, but then this would lbe the post that never ends. 


- Also: Thanksgiving was fun. Ate tons, went back to K3. Church and Family. I miss it. uhhh yeah.

(random picture why not....hahaha...chicken and watermelon...which interestingly bring up a story. my parents came to visit me in October. and basically we ate chicken and watermelon. so stereotypical Ikr???)

until next time
PEACE & CHICKEN GREASE!

Been home [a little more than] a week.

And it's weird.
Because I have that feeling like I would over a spring/winter break......I'll get back to Evanston soon enough (which is still true in this instance) but it's gonna be in a total different way.

 I'll be living in actual place of my own (the search for that is still ongoing and actual quite stressful, how I would love to play over $1000 for a 1 bedroom, I don't know if it's really worth it, esp since I have loans to payoff.......Do I want to live in Evanston or Chicago?....I just don't know, because I've never done this before...so really unsure but I'll figure something out, I'll keep you updated)

But really I have that feeling like I'm tired of being in K3 and that I'll be heading back to Evanston soon to hangout with friends and get ready for classes, but that defintiely's not happening..
And really I do not like being home.
One, I feel like there's nothing to do/I don't want to do anything
Two, No one is here
Three, family is family, but annoying after awhile, esp parents, its like stop telling me what to do, I'm not a teenage anymore, they don't understand that though.

Only a month left though, I'm sure I'll miss K3, but really looking forward to things to come.
Like sometimes I forget that I already have a job, because I literally have nothing to do, but there are moments of enlightenment when I'm like 'wait I have my own classroom, and students, and getting actual money for it'. It's a really great feeling....

But in the meantime, I need to find stuff to do.
yeah.
Random PIcture time. 

that baby is so cute...and I would totally say the same thing/have the same facial expression if I was with Obama.

Random Factoid.

Did you know?A shrimp's heart is located in its head.


Another random picture (just cuz I felt like it)

PEACE & CHICKEN GREASE!!!

Yeah, it's May.

Wow. It just kinda hit me while I was typing this. Pretty soon I will have only 30 days left in my college experience. Wow, I can't believe it.

So much is going to happen in that time........ But classes will be over then. so I'll be considerably happy. I don't want to talk about school or I'll get depressed, angry, stressed or crazy
So I'm just gonna talk about some random stuff. Enjoys.

1. I'm enjoy myself, chillin for the most part. Procrastinating is what some folks would call it. But it is, what it is. And if that's what it is than that's what it is.......idk.

2. Basically, I miss teaching. I realized this on Tuesday. P360 had a student visit, its was kids from Waukegan. And I had like a group of 9 students, and we just showed them around the campus, had lunch with them and stuff. It was really fun, the kids were awesome. And I really got them excited about college, so I hope that their visit really got them thinking about college. And basically I just realized how much I missed teaching, that's the reason I want to be a teacher to inspire the students, make them know they can do anything they want to. so basically I'm excited about the upcoming school year. so glad I gots employment. :-)

3. I need to find a place to live though. I definitely want to stay in Evanston/Chicago for the summer, because Kankakee might get on my nerves considerably. but I need to figure that out soon......urgh.

4. TUMBLR is awesome. I'm pretty much addicted. Past addiction to say the least. It's basically my new facebook. It's awesome, I get to track post on bacon, education, math, technology, and trumpet. It's like I can incorporate all my interest into one place. This is last time I'm posting the link. So click if you'd like. http://imtheasauce.tumblr.com

5. Oh, Bin Laden is dead. Kool, thanks Obama and all the troops. I'm still afraid about any retaliation efforts from his people's, I'm praying that nothing bad happens though. But I think it's really good that people who lost loved ones from 9/11 now feel some sense justice has been served. That's good.

6. Just finished watching Black Dynamite.

 I loved it. Stars Michael Jai White, guy who played Tasha's husband on TP's Why did I get married?. Pretty funny, and just generally interesting, makes fun/pays homage to blaxploitation films of the 70s. I loved it (Did I say that already?). I basically thought this story was gonna end like 3 times before it actually did, it's just pretty ridiculous. But that's why I loved it. So if you haven't seen it. Watch it.

Oh kay that's it.....
Yes.

PEACE & CHICKEN GREASE

I mean since I'm not being productive

It's seems with every passing week of classes, it becomes harder and harder for me to do school work.
i really don't like doing these assignments.....
and I really have no motivation....I literally understand maybe how my student feels about homework and assignments......but they just don't do it.
I mean I'll finish the assignments soon enough....or late enough....depends on how ya thinking about it....
I really just wanna be done....I've probably said this on every post, but that's cuz it true...

But really I don't want to talk about that....so new topic.
------
I got a NEW PHONE. It's a Motorala charm with T-mobile.

 I love it. It's touch screen, but still had the keypad so I can type stuff. Did I say I love it?. It's so cool. The only thing I probably shouldn't gotten my own account, I didn't think about it. Because of course I had to have internet and then my parents said, 'we ain't got no money.......etc. etc.'. But I'll probably do that once I get my job and stuff.

speaking of which, I need to figure that out. I should hear back from Evanston this week hopefully. In the meantime, I should've been filling other applications, did I? nope. oh wells. But I finally made a list of schools to apply to, which I can now do. Aren't lists great?

Ummmmm idk what else to talk about I really just don't want to do school work, urgh..

Random Picture Time

I feel the same way about porkchops.

yeah.

PEACE & CHICKEN GREASE!

sooo... I ramble

hey what up world
just had a nice 30 mins+ walk to kemper.
i guess i like long walks (not necessilarly on the beach though)
but it was cool.

I how was just thinking how many times am I gonna get to do this before I graduate?
it brought me back to freshman year, when I would walk from PARC to Sargent all de time.
And I think about that person back then, and the person I am now.
And it's like wow so much as changed like since then
Like, who was I back then?
Where was I going? What was I doing? (idk)
But it's cool to be older, wiser, a lil' maturer (is that a word?)

any hoo longs walks are nice. 
-----------

first week of classes.
it's weird being the student again. actually it's not weird. I totally hate it. urgh. Like I'm bored instantly. but my last classes should be interesting.

Math 104. Basically playing games all day e'reday. But so much work.
Philosophy of Ed. Gonna get on my nerves. like my last one. But this one I HAVE to take.
Reading in Content Area. Hoping to learn some strategies to teach literacy in classroom, probably most practical one. AND I DON't even have to take it.

Besides that I'm chillin. I'm game for doing anything and everything, BUT school work....
Random thought: I need to really be working on my DP (digital portfolio) right now instead of typing this.

Another random thought: Today's April Fools Day. Yeah.
-------------
Real life is scary. I don't wanna grow up. I wanna stay home and bake cookies with my mama. And be a Toys r us kids. And wear pigtails. And eat ice cream. uhhhh.
But such is the time. So I have nothing but to be ready. So I say here it goes....
------------
Speaking of real life, I  had a job interview at ETHS on Wednesday.
Things went well. It would be nice if I get it. Don't find out until 2-3 weeks from now.
So there it goes.

Is you okay? Is you? Good, cuz I want to know!

Student Teaching and stuff

I just realized this is my first post of the new year.
I'm a lil bit late.
so HAPPY NEW YEAR.

2011 has been off to a great start. I've begun my student teaching at ETHS, and I'm really loving it.
There's so much I can talk about my student teaching so far, even though it's only the 3rd week (7 to go). One thing I love it that I'm finally doing what I've been wanting to do for so long: TEACH. Like last week, after talking with my mentor teacher about how I did in the morning. I just felt really happy. This was possibly the happiest I've been in awhile. All because I'm doing what I wanna do with my life, and not taking STUPID classes. Unfortunately I'll be back to 'college life' come spring quarter, but I'm deciding not to think about that or I'll get all depressed and stuff.

Otherwise I'm really enjoying it. The kids are great and hilarious. For instance, I've seen a girl pull a pass outta of  her bra, and a  kid chew on a wad of paper. There should be more hilarious things to come. Stay tuned. The students are really cool. I'm teaching a Geom H class, all freshman, mostly white, and 3 Algebra 2 Regular class, culturally mixed . and it's been interesting seeing the differences. Honors kids are a lot more self-motivated. Like you give them a problem and they immediately start working on it. Whereas in the other classes you definitely have to nudge them along, sometimes ya gotta do a little more than nudge. But it's an experience nevertheless. I'm enjoy the challenge. I think this is one of the main differences between regular and honors. I don't think it has anything to do with intellect but more so motivation, like who cares more about learning it seems. Not to say that regular students don't care it just seems from my experience they just don't want to anything, and this could stem from plenty of things I'm sure, especially in relations to mathematics. But anyhoo it'll be interestin seeing the difference between the classes, over the quarter.

I haven't taken over any classes yet. That comes in about 2 weeks, after the students are done with finals, ya see ETHS is on the weird system, but it works out okay for me I suppose. It's gonna be really interesting teaching though 5 classes alone because I'm currently co-teaching 4 of them, which is really great, because I can interact with the students get to know them, and instruct them as well. But it'll be interesting having that full load of classes, and having to do so much preparation, like I already know Ima be dead tired. Literally, there's like so much left to this quarter it redunkulous. But I'll get through it and be fine.

Also my mentor teachers are really great. Peter's awesome, even though he's a little reluctant about letting his class into my hands because I'm probably gonna mess them up and confuse them. But there's nothing I can really do but my best, and it's not gonna be perfect and I'm okay with that for now. Maryjoy though is also awesome, she reminds me alot of myself and we get along pretty well. She just had a baby in October so she's really more focused on him (his name is Theo, I'll get to see him Wednesday next we hopefully!) than on school when she's not at school. Which to me, is totally understandable, it just might make some things kinda of difficult to do. But as usual I'll be okay, I'm a big boy. Ummmm yeah I love my mentors, they have been so awesome.

so basically, Monday through Friday
I wake up a 6am outta the door by 640,645 because i take my shower the night before. take the cta purple line from noyes to davis.this involves me waiting usually like 5 mins which sometimes might look like this.

 i then take 93 bus from davis to the school (it literally drops me off right in front of the school) then I'm at the school until about 430, 5. so it's pretty long days. Basically I'm working, without getting paid. Actually I'm paying someone else to work. It's really great. But the experience I'm  is priceless gaining in my mind.

But as I've said like a million times by now I really love my student teaching experience so far. Mainly cuz I'm doing my thug thiz.

Okay so I honestly don't know how much I will updates bout student teaching or general life problems or randomocity, prolly not much, but you'll be alright. I know.
Yes this is it.

PEACE & CHICKEN GREASE

hola, como estas?

my name is Adrian.
and this is my blog. nice to meet you, whoever you are.

i like nachos. and this is why...see sometimes it's the mystery of finding that perfect chip
with the right amount of cheese on it (or jalpenos or ground beef or salsa or pepperoni or peppermint or enchilada, whatever you like on your nachos). it's like one of the greatest adventures of life. really. believe me.
or don't. I don't care.

this is stupid. Mucho. Bueno. Santo Crango (okay now i'm making up words).

anyhoos

one time I was walking. no, I was ice-skating. no matter of fact I was flying. yes, flying, like a bird. nah, like a plane. no actually it was like superman( I had a big S on my chest and e'erythang). and I saw this ant on the ground. this really really really small ant.  I don't know how I was able to see it. I musta had on those 'super' vision goggles I stole that one time at that one place that I wasn't supposed to tell anyone about. (oops)

and i flew all the way down from up in the sky ( I was like a milion miles up in the air, ya'll). I met up with the ant and we talked, about corn and lollipops and aprons.  the conversation went on and on, I wasn't sure how long we were talking, but eventually the ant, who liked to be called Chester, had to get back to helping all the other ants do something important, i think it was like collecting bunnies or gold coins or something...

but after I got done talking to that ant, I was kind of sad,  because I had no one to talk to. so I proceeded to fly again. and so I flew until I wanted to fly no more. and that's what happen on my way to the bank today.....

ohhhhh, you don't understand do you? I don't understand either. but that's okay. sometimes that how the world does ya. for real. Ask O.J. Simpson or Jessica Simpson or Homer Simpson, they know. Cuz nobody really likes those simpsons.....ewwww

um so that's about it.
I hope you enjoys.
I hope to see you soon.
I hope you don't get eaten by a racoon (those things are dangerous)
and blah blah blah. ha/ha/ha/

PEACE & CHICKEN GREASE!!

It's almost the end of the 2010

which means my blog-versary has either passed or is approaching.
(after getting over my initial laziness and looking it up, it's December 17th,  sooo I'll be posting something on that day probably)
either way I can't believe I stayed with this thing this long,
If I believe this is gonna be year 3. Wow.

Like so much has changed since I was a sophomore,
I was at a totally different place, totally different frame of mind.
It also makes me feel so old. I mean I have been 22 for 8 days,
I don't know if that means I have experience or anything (it doesn't).

But this blog meant something totally different to me then, than it does now. 
And I don't update as often as I used to,
I mean who has time when your as busy as I,
But when I started, it was just something to do, something to be random with, to have fun with,
and just try to be kool, i guess?
But now I use it more of as a place of reflection. It's where/when I can think about significant moments in my life, and it's really kool...i guess?

As i develop into this full adulthood mode, I'll try to keep this up.
Maybe, I'm not keeping any promises...

!#$^#$^$%*&^%(&&%$$@$#$#%$$%)(%&^^%$!#@#$245 (<--- decode the 'secret' message)
[now searching for something to talk about]

Thinking about one of the first topics I talked about on this blog, snow (here),
it's back. and it's cold. I pretty much think my sentiment about this white stuff (hahaha white stuff)
remains the same as it does in this post. Also I think its really funny.....the post that is not the snow....

Here's a random picture.

I would be the exact same way if I was a crack hoe. But unfortunately I am not. :-(

Yeah now that's about it.
I'm on Winter Break so I might update a lil more than usual.
But as I said before  I make no promises, Mister!

PEACE & CHICKEN GREASE!!!

hello World

this is ya boy,
the one that brings ya joy
when ya all shy and coy,
sippin on a sauce called soy

lately i've been feeling like rhymin
ya know that slick poetry
and since school had me overtimin
time just wasn't free

but at home in my comfy bed
chillin at half an hour to midnight
i thought i would break off some creative bread
and to the world i'd write

somethin real kool
somethin that would make ya drool
somethin that have ya lookin like a fool
sans pants on the ground, i'm not that cruel

so i hope you listen, I hope you like
so I hope I to inspire, make ya fly like mike
with my simple words, spitting from my lips
dripping down my arms to my fingertips

see, sometimes I try to see but I'm blind
and sometimes I try to speak but I'm a mime
and sometimes I try to touch but I can't reach
and sometimes I try to taste but there's no peach-

PIE that jilll made, so all i can do
is listen with my ears of two
and trust, hold on like glue,
when actually I have no clue.

Like I don't know how to play that game,
Literally I've never played clue,
and as long as things remain the same,
I'll focus on hitting the cue

Wherever that strike leads,
hopefully in the corner pocket,
unlocking the door of the freed,
releasing the sky-bound rocket

Of my maturity, my insecurity,
my nature, my legislature,
my sobriety, my entirety,
my debaters, my creators

and yes, I ask who's talking?
Who's the one in charge?
Who's the boss, the one pimp-walking?
Who is the man at large?

Who's the one swiping the credit card?
Who's the one scooping up the pig lard?
Who's the one that said it was hard?
Who jumped that extra yard?

Questions, so many unanswered.
It's actually kinda awkward
Down right absurd
I'm a little perturbed

Because, I'm an  the Afroboiii,
the number one, not number three,
and if you knew alot things
you would know about me.

But ya don't, so your dog has fleas
and please take him of the leash.
Try to give him some carrots and peas
and maybe some

Sometimes I like mustard on my sandwiches

sometimes I don't.

Why, you ask?
Well the thing about mustard is  insert[a long story about how this one time when I was a kid I had this really terrible, embarrassing situation with mustard, which made me very fearful of it. Like seriously I can't talk about it on here. It was so bad, I mean, I couldn't even stand the smell of it. Until one day  I accidentally had a sandwich with mustard on it and it was so delicious. Then I started eating it again. But then from time to time I think about that horrible experience, so then I totally don't want mustard on my sandwich, but then  I remember how good it is so then I do. A Paradoxical lifestyle. But then turns out it was all a dream, and  the story I just typed was completely falsified :-) ].

******
so. it's tweleve thirty a.m. I'm kinda tired, but not wanting to go to sleep I decided to update randomly.
I don't really want to talk about anything. (psych, yes I do)
Basically, School sucks. I'm busier than I would like to be. I don't know what I'm doing when I graduate. I don't wanna grow up (I wanna be a Toy 'R us kid). I wish I was a Pokeman. Sometimes dreams do come true. I Can't wait till spring quarter.

That's about it.

You know what I just realized? I don't like complete sentences. They are for losers, like ya mama. Yeah I said it. You offended? You should be, I just talked about your mother.
********
Anyhoo. There's not much to this post.  <---Lies, Deception, Deceit, and Trickery
