Update

Let me update you on how things have been...
BUSY
aww moments
BUSY
some fun.
BUSY!

Weddings...most joyful and emotional traditions of all time. Shout out to my brother and new sister in law. I just know you 2 are going to distance...you art feinz.

Anywho, yes ive been able to do more things outside of ball and workouts. My brother has been kind enough to take me out and hang with him at his crib..THAT was fun. I can say that every time im with him, I keep learning how messed up ths country is and how its only getting worse. Why does Canada sound like a good place to move to? Free heath care. FREE!! Social Security is so messed up in the U.S. it's crazy. Economics...bunch of B.S. right now. And the rumors on that Mary Jane...not true. I never been so shocked on my life to hear about the false statements on this natural plant. Its because people be mixin' stuff in that makes it so dangerous.

Furthermore, Ive been able to chill with my girlfriend. Going to the movies, to her house, wing stop, and shopping. Its been a joyful ride. That was 2 weeks ago and last week. With the start of senior year right around the corner and our 1 year anniversary...i cant help but wonder whats in store for us...in the present...AND the future.

With bball, ive been to 3 colleges: USF, St. Mary's, and Santa Clara. All for camps. Recruiting process is extreme right now because it started in April. Getting signed in November is the main goal...so i have to ball outa control this July and make an impression.

So yeah that's all that has been happening...check you later

1st Term is OVER!

Well, I would like to say that I am proud of myself. I've worked extremely hard this whole year since the start! Yes, I've had my roller-coaster moments where my grades have dropped to a 1.86. I took it upon myself and got my grades up to a 2.86. I just hope I do really well on these finals because on a real note... I've been falling asleep in class and getting off track lately. Like, I know the material but I don't come off that way. So THAT'S academics.

Socially,
I made so many new friends and got along with people really well. There wasn't that much drama if I think about it... well besides drama with my dad but that's always gonna be there. As much as I hate to admit it, he's helped alot when it came to grades and basketball. Yet, I don't think he accepts me for me, so.... I don't know.

I'd like to thank those that have been there ever since middle school. Y'all haven't changed a bit and always kept it real with me and always kept me updated on events and kept in touch.

My basketball family and close friends... shout out to y'all because we've come so far and put so much work in... best believe we getting state this year. The lil groups we have ( Bounce Nation and Thizlam ) was a nice add on to the chemistry we have. Y'all still some goofs though.

Ode to all the teachers. Without you, us students wouldn't be so successful. I don't know how you put up with us but aye, you haven't given up on us. Honestly, I have learned so much and really am happy that I was able to become friends with you. I appreciate all of the advice given to me and you as people. Same goes to my coaches and trainers. I wouldn't be that strong or as skillful as I am. At times I didn't want to workout and put in the time but you reminded me constantly that it would pay off in the end, and that's with what ever I'm doing. Whether its school, other interests like photography or writing, or basketball... hard work and being dedicated show great results.

Relationship,
WoW. I don't know where to start. Ever since the end of last year we've been pretty cool, but since that day at the fair.... July 31st... its been outrageous. We started dating ever since August 1st ( first day of school ) but it seems way longer. Thank you for being so understanding, caring, and supportive through this whole period. With the drama that has occurred from time after time, you stayed strong and made it seem as if everything was ok... and it was. You never left with a frown, but with a smirk or a smile which let me know that you were content with the limited time we had. Words haven't been invented yet to describe how much I love you. I mean that. Others may say that we are too young to be falling IN love or too busy for love but obviously we showed that we can handle it together. I must say that I'm going to suffer without you these next three weeks. I love you with all my heart babe<3 ITS GUCCI!!! hahah

Computer Design Class

This term in Mr. Sarabia's class has been CRAZY!! The people in this class, although, do be doing too much. Its hard to concentrate with all the smack talk and annoying laughs. I do like the fact that we can listen to music while we do our work though. It helps the concentration and really provides more enjoyment in the class. Furthermore, I've learned pretty much the same stuff I did last year when I was in this class for Visual Communication, along with the color codes and learning how to make CD cases and labels. My favorite part of this class was taking pictures. I'm photogenic, so taking pictures or taking pictures of others was the best part to me.

The most difficult assignment to me was the blueprint project. It took a while to make all those lines and adjustments when it came to making the rooms and the backyard. I didn't really turn in this assignment until like a few weeks after. Though, it gave me an idea of what I want my house to be like in the future... or better. The most interesting and my favorite was the magazine project. I was able to practice something that's part of my backup plan if basketball didn't work out for me. Though I didn't take the picture, I enjoyed editing the picture and adding on pieces and headlines that relate to me or conversations that I've been in or overheard.

I really hope I have this class next term or even next year. Sarabia's class provides freedom to me. I'm usually restricted and can't go on the computer at home unless I'm looking up grades or doing homework. In this class I was able to blog my thoughts and feelings like I am now, wonder around the room and observe other students creative mind set, and taking pictures. I just know that next term/year's students will love this class like I did last year and this year. Hopefully, they feel as if they are escaping reality and jumping into another world when they make projects.

TRANSFORMERS!

TRANSFORMERS!! This project was a lil boring for me. I did this same project last year and I didn't really feel like doing it again. I put some images into photoshop and traced em. Then, I dragged em onto my project. Same goes with the face. That's a handsome robot!

Color Pattern

This project took some time. A good week or so to be exact. Andy Worhol was the guy who discovered these color codes and identified if they were complementary, analogous, or triad. All I did was use the Trace project I used earlier and used different colors from the Hexodecimal Color Wheel project.

HEXODECIMAL COLOR CODES

During class, we were making this color wheel along with the color codes to make things easier. At the bottom our favorite color was to go from light to dark. This really helped me to understand the codes of colors, but its a lot more complex in many ways.

The CRIB

WELCOME MTV CRIBS!! haha This is my blueprint for a house that I basically came up with on the spot. Obviously there isn't any kids room or upstairs... I just wanted to keep it simple. Kinda. I added a basement which is a party area. I combined a movie theatre with pop corn makers and soda suspensors. DJs will be hired for the backyard and the basement. The basketball court in the backyard was a must. I'm a baller, of course I'm going to put one in. I just wanted my house the place to be.
