SITUATION 1
everyday brings something new, and today was no differed, not by a long shot.
today started like any other friday.. class.
i go out during our 20 minute break just to chill, you know breathe out that art history that i seem to dread so much.
as im on break i made some friends i guess you could say.
its funny how in college its somewhat more difficult to approach people, at least to me it is, when compared to those days of adolescence. you can't jsut go up to folks nowadays, especially in san jose, and expect a warm welcome. but anyway, today i made friends, then went back to class.
after class tho, this girl i met earlier comes up to me and asks me to chill for a minute, kickback and just shoot the breeze... so i do so.
n then 5 o clock hits, and im like ok imm leave now, cus im a busy body.
tired, i ses laaater, and as im cutting out, she trails me.
shes like hey, no hug?
whoaaa girl, i just met you. random i know but whatever, shit you're friendly with me, ill be friendly with you. so i gave her a hug.
n then she leans in and gives me a kiss on the cheeck. whaat?!
as i mentioned before... whoaaa girl, i just met you.
so i walk to the car, feelin akward as fuck, and cut out.
to this moment, im still like wtf?!

END OF SITUATION 1

SITUATION 2
chillin at dennys tonight after the mtown bike party (which was full of coo folks)
we was jsut enjoying our meals, doin some business talk and whatnot.
it was brought to my attention that someone i know, and dont really associate with..
doesnt like me.
random because to be honest, we alot alike, and if you don't like me... you don't like yourself.
the things you said you don't like about me, are the same gottamn things you get your shine from, dumbass.
if you gonna say you dont like someone, and have the qualities you list, be the ones peopel describe you by, then you my friend.. or not, are ignorant as fuck. hahahah
so ill jsut leave it at that.

END OF SITUATION 2

SITUATION 3
so alotta people think i like this one girl.
and the answer is nooo.. i guess.
she cute, has the qualities i look for, but shes not who i want i guess.
theres nothing wrong with her, and any man would be lucky to have her, but she just isnt it.
not one thing i could put a finger on and say that that is the reason why... but i dont?
i dont mean to sound bad when i say, but i think shes the bar for me.
the bar meaning, the one that my potential one would have to be at or surpass.
i know its not fair to compare other people, because each is allowed their own,
but it is what it is.
i dont know if its right to have a "bar" girl, or to even judge one by the characteristics of another
but i guess thats just how the situation goes.
thus ending this one.

END OF SITUATION 3

So finding out that i gotta register for classes today, so i did my usual "i dont know wtf im doin, but i think i got it" and figured that i have lotsa catchin up to do. Firstofall, i could only register for 2 classes, since to retake a class i failed, i have to get a permission number... so thats postponed till i talk to a counselor... tomorrow i guess.

i also have to..

- Retake Art History 70B
- Retake Art History 72
- Take 5 Upper Division Art Histories
- Take 3 More Upper Division Supporting Art Histories
- Take 1 More Photo Class

then and only then will i walk the stage and graduate with a DOUBLE MAJOR...
but do i really need it? i mean, majors and shit are jsut paperwork right?
wouldnt a strong potfolio be of more value than a decent one with official papers?
iono... man, i thought i was close to graduating.. guess i got a year and a half to two years still in front of me.
but dang, i really wanna be done with it, and do other things.
oh well.. gotta roll with the punches right?
i failed so i gotta pay for my mistakes yeah?

man... i dont even wanna do it anymore.
got to though i guess.

i just wanna be, i just wanna be, i just wanna be successfull......

To take interesting photos to document my trip using 1 prime lens, meannig no zoom... to get more, you gotta step back.
