My Autobiography

College has started and I have made no friends yet. There are a lot of older people there. I mean, like adults! Anyways, the cool thing is that my brother, Mike, who dropped out of college years before, has returned and is attending the same college as I! So I get rides to college sometimes. The first week is over. College seems so much easier than THHS. Wiggyness. Parents aren't as bad. My dad is being a hemorrhoid still about college and what Mike did. He swears that I would do the same thing and that I'd BS, etc. I ignore him nowadays. I have a feeling he'll be repeating himself until the day he dies, which is pretty sad, I must say.

I made a couple of friends in college but some of them have sadly gone to other colleges for the spring term because, to put it frankly, QCC sucks. I wanted to try out for the basketball team but they have practices at 7pm! I had no time for it anyways. I was thinking about changing my major from nursing into drama but my folks would probably kick me out of the house or something so I'll stick to the Anatomy & Physiology classes. Besides, they are getting rather interesting.

I've decided to take a physical education class this term because I don't want to become flabby or anything like that, so I'm going to take my first swimming class tomorrow. I hope I don't drown...Eep! Eh, "mom" and dad will never get over the whole Michael and college bizz because all they think he does is pussyfoot around and stuff. Whatever...let the guy do what he has to do. They should be proud of him considering he has a 4.0 GPA!!!

Um, I sadly don't have my permit or license and I'm 18 1/2. Not cool at all. I'll work on it before summer starts. What really sucks is that Mike's and my schedule don't run in sync anymore. I have to take the buses every single day. At least I get driven to school every morning by my dad. I need to drive. Now I've been taking 3 buses to get home instead of the herdy gerdy Q30 that always takes forever to get me home. Even though the travel is a little bit out of the way, I can handle it, even if it maxes out my MetroCard twice as fast...Eh, more later...

I got a 95 on my A&P lab exam. I hope I did well on my lecture exam as well. I'm no longer taking 3 buses to get home. I walk all the way to the Q75 and then transfer to the Q3. It's well worth it but pizzy if you miss the Q75, which comes only twice an hour...

Freshman year at QCC wasn't too bad. I could have done better on my exams, but I must admit. I took on a pile of work my first year there. I've gotten used to the crappy buses there and I just take the Q30 to the Q85.

During my sophomore year what the heck did I do? It's almost quite hard to remember. Hmm. Let's see if I can remember. *thinks hard* Meh. I'll come back to it when I remember. Wait, I do remember that I finally learned how to swim. It's fun to swim. hehe. (Man, that was STILL freshman year. Jeez.)

Junior year was a great turn of events for me. Man, I felt awesome that year. I was finally comfortable with myself and understood how cool I am. Nope, not trying to be conceited here. I started gaining great self-confidence and decided to join the girls' basketball team. I needed to stay in shape, y'know? Sure, I found a lot of girls attractive and interesting, but one always caught my eye. She was sweet and funny, not a genius, but a sweetheart. Of course she turns out to be straight, but what else is new? I have no gaydar, just like Dana from The L Word. Ah, I love The L Word. It's one of my favorite shows. It sucks that this is the last season for Queer as Folk. It will surely be missed.

Anyhoo, back to junior year. I played a couple of games and my friends came to see me play once or twice, but I was sorta discriminated against playing. What sucked was I came to practice moreso than anyone, except one, on the basketball team and I barely got any playing time. My friends were disappointed that the teammates who NEVER came to practice played in the game. The downside was that all of that practice, though it made me better, ended up hurting me physically. I ended up stubbing a toe in October 2004, which finally healed July 2005, and respraining my ankle, and a first my knee. I also had my share of stubbed fingers. Owwiez. I somehow split the skin underneath my right foot! That healed after a month and I didn't find all of this work worth it, until I saw that I lost some weight and gained a lot of muscle. So it paid off somehow.

After basketball season, I finally knew what I wanted to do with my life. I decided to study to become an EMT. After 8 hour classes and a couple of Saturdays taken out my schedule, I managed to pass the final practical exam with 100%. I couldn't believe. Friggin' top of my class! w00t! I sadly am not working anywhere at the moment. I refuse to until I have my driver's license. Yeah, I know. I'm 21 now and still no license. At least I have a permit. w00t! Go me. lol

I graduated from QCC in June 2005 with an A.S. in health sciences. (Thank God I passed that stupid CPE (CUNY Proficiency Exam!) I didn't get a diploma because it turns out I actually need three more credits, so I intend to do those over the first half of summer vacation. No biggie. It's just a good thing that I didn't need to have a diploma to go to York, which I go to now. I'm studying to become a physician's assistant there. I can't keep lifting patients all my life. I'm bound to get old, y'know?

Right now I'm working as the softball manager for the QCC Lady Tigers and also as the game director for the QCC Lady Tigers' basketball team. Yesh, I get paid for these jobs which is awesome. Though, that camera they have is so outdated and heavy... Ah, what can you do?

I'm not entirely happy at York. I know a few people there, but no one from THHS goes there nor does the college seem at all open-minded. I'll be in the closet over there until I hear someone say they have a gay friend and is fine with it, or something to that extent. I'm not liking my biology class at the moment. Why do I need to learn about structures of plants in order to be a P.A.? I don't see the significance! I'm doing surprisingly well in chemistry though. Who knew? Go me! Meanwhile, English is a breeze. I need a breezy class. Helps upgrade the GPA. I have to just try my best and see what results I can muster. There's one good thing about going to York though: I only have to take one bus! And it's a very reliable bus at that. Sweet deal...

I received a car on October 7, 2005. A 1993 Toyota Camry. My dad's old car which is in the best shape of its life since it was so well maintained by my dad. That should coerce me into getting my license even faster, but I doubt it since snow is going to be coming soon. Bahz.

I finally was able to put myself on the facebook. QCC isn't on the list of vast colleges. I've been in contact with people I haven't seen or spoken to in over 3-4 years. It feels good to know that most people haven't changed and that they all remember you. My friends list is currenly 225. (October 24, 2005) One of my best friends, even though I haven't seen her since she was a sophomore, has been awesome and so supportive of everything I do. She rocks. Do I need to say her name? Heck, that's up to her. We'll see what she has to say after she reads this. Well, she read it and she doesn't mind being mentioned. She doesn't mind a lot of things. Pretty cool of her, I must say. I know I've been keeping all of you in suspense, so I shall reveal her name.

The holidays of 2005 are nearing and the same stages are occurring again. For those of you who don't know, whenever the holidays come, most people would be estatic and happy. Not me. Sure, I'm happy that there's no school for a month and some weeks, but celebrating the holidays with just my family gets boring and we barely do anything anymore. It sucks, year after year, not having a special someone to share the experience of the holidays with. *sigh* I just have to wait a little longer... But I have to also remember, that I'm not getting any younger. I think I need to put myself out there, somehow. But how???
