SCHOOL:
Talk about the best semester ever. School is so fucking easy when you actually have goals and ambition in life. I got A's in the 2 classes I took this semester (Rock & Roll History and Business Communications). I'm so good that I got to skip the music final. Less stress there woof! But the Business final is this Monday and I smell another A.
Next semester, I'm debating wheter I should take Italian or Macro + Micro Economics. I'm leaning towards Econ if its trasferable to Cornell. Oh well, I got a month to decide.
But overall, I am done with Community College. I got my AA and my Business Management/Leadership certificate credential to add to my resume. The reason I am sticking with SMC is for Rotaract (which I'll explain in a bit). I also must add that it was great to meet the many new faces I met this semester. I did'nt think I would make this many new friends this year. But it all happened because of my Presidency and by being open-minded. Next stop, Cornell
CORNELL UNIVERSITY:
Whoever knew I would have become a Cornell junkie! Back in the days, I would see people in films or at school with high hopes for a school and wonder how that could be possible. Now I know what they are feeling. God damn I've done my research on this school, and have met people through an online network. I reallllly want to go to this school now. It has become my #1 choice.
Even though I have shown an amount of confidence of getting accepted, I will have UNLV as a back up. If that happens, I will proceed with high grades, Rotaract involvement, and possible school goverment to increase my chances to get accepted to Cornell for their Master's program. But for real though, I know so much about the Hotel business, I have 4 years of experience, I have this great character that has evolved from Rotaract, etc. Applications are due on March so you guys should see some results by April/May.
Oh btw, Cornell graduates from the Hotel Admin program start off at $250k per year.
ROTARACT CLUBWell well, what a surprise this club has been to me. Overall it has become the one of the best clubs at SMC and of Rotaract history. On our final meeting, we went over what we did during the semester and I got a lot of compliments for my excellent leadership. But I got the word from other members of the reasons why people stick to Rotaract:
"They come to Rotaract for you Edgar, you make the club worth going to." But to show you how much I have done for our club, these are our accomplishments for the fall semester:
- Raised $1499 for AIDS Walk
- Contributed over 200 canned food items for the Los Angeles Food Bank
- Helped out kids who suffer through Prader-Willi syndrome for an entire day
- Heal The Bay event: Helped clean the dirty beaches
- Strong showing of our club at the District Youth Conference
- Feeding the homeless at the AME Church
- Collaboration with UNICEF to Tijuana, Mexico to visit an orphanage
- Meals On Wheels: Delivering fresh meals to immobile senior citizens
- Volunteer for the Santa Monica Symphony concert
- Rotary 5280 District Picnic
- Rotaract club being mentioned in the Santa Monica press
- Rotaract club being mentioned in the SMC's Corsair paper.
- Has accomplished an apprximate 18 cimmitted members. The most the club has seen. There are a lot more members but they either dont attend to most of the meetings or dont do their part in community service.
And thats just the beginning. Spring semester shall be the most fruitful!
LOVE LIFEAnyone who has been following along with the recent story should know that the results ended in a sour note. Good news is that I was back to good in less than 24 hrs. I have moved on and gone back to the smooth bachelor I am.
But I've also come to realize my standards have risen. Talking with all these beautiful women lately has made me realize I have potential for higher and the "plain Jane" type of girl will no longer do. I guess you can say I'm going to be picky, but its all good. Searching for that right girl will be even tougher for me because I don't know if I want to risk falling in love again. Besides, its really hard to find a committed girl. Girls can be cruel in so many ways and I realized how much I've been screwed over by the many girls I dated this year. So time to play the ass-hole game to some girls. I've done it once by fucking the girl and never calling back. It was bad, but part of me enjoyed it.
NEW CAMERA
I'm on my what, 4th camera in the last 5 years lol. Ok so I bought me a Sony Cybershot 8.1 megapixel HD camera. Its fucking sweet! I love the HD pics and video capability. I'm going to need it for Rotaract pics and events what not. This time I purchased the right type of insurance (Accidental insurance) so that history doesnt repeat itself
Camera #1: (Canon) Screen cracked
Camera #2: (Fujifilm) Screen cracked then it was missing
Camera #3: (Toshiba) Lost it at Disneyladn :(
WORKMy 4th job ended as of November 13th. So now its back to my other 3 jobs as a part-time/on-call banquet server. Making me all that cheese =D
LIVINGWow its been tough living with a house full of fresh immigrants. No privacy anymore, need to be discreet with many activities, and more people to support. I give my aunt and other family members any amount of $ they need. Thats why its hard for me to live a peaceful life knowing I can't treasure all the money I posses. More reasons to graduate from Cornell.
The sister drama is far from over. She's been locked up twice but twice has been set free. Its been a month since our last conflict, but I really gotta be careful. Who knows when she can strike?
FRIENDSWow I miss everyone. I'm so looking forward to going to Ash's to see the many people I care about. But its also very hard to see people when you dont have a car. ::sigh::
Smash people are real fun to hang out with as well. Damn they are funny!
Big Bear trip coming up with my school pals
Avenged SevenfoldWow I've become such a huge fan of them. I feel like I'm cheating on Alter Bridge because A7X is sooo close to becoming my new #1 favorite band. Ive heard them non-stop for the past 3 weeks and been to 2 of their concerts in the past 5 weeks. They have shown me the world of moshpitting, the world of real metal music, and this great feeling when listening to their music. I even mosh randomly cuz their music is awesome. All I listen to is A7X and it doesnt bore me. Their old stuff from "Wakin The fallen" and "Sounding the 7th Trumpet" is fucking amazing not to mention their latest self titled CD.
I'm now a hardcore A7X fan!
Thats it. Hope you are all as happy as I am :D. <3 you all.
