short short

Looking over at the speedometer, Mike saw from the passenger’s seat that it read one hundred and five miles per hour. Mike and his best friend Chris had just left Laura’s house. Laura was Chris’ girlfriend and had been for the past year and a half. Tonight, she told Chris she wanted to take a break with Chris because she would be leaving for college in two weeks.

            “Dude, slow the fuck down!” Mike screamed.

            “No, Laura is going to regret leaving me,” Chris said, angrily.

            “There’s more girls in the world besides Laura. She treated you like shit anyway.”

            “But I love her. She has been my world for almost two years now. I don’t want to live without her.”

            “Are you kidding me, dude? I don’t want to die.”

            Mike started to think about his life. He needed to find a way to make Chris stop driving sixty miles over the speed limit. There had to be something he could do. There had to be some way he could stop him. Mike sat in his seat like a statue, thinking about Chris, as sweat was dripping down his face in fear.

            “Come on, Chris. Just pull over and listen to me or let me drive!”

            “No, I’m driving.”

            “Dude! Slow down!” Mike screamed as he saw the speedometer reach one hundred and twenty miles an hour.

            Mike didn’t think Chris’ car would survive at one hundred and twenty miles. His old 1993 Honda Accord 5 speed wasn’t cutting it much these days. The car was shaking and Chris’ eyes were focused on the road. It was as if his body wasn’t even there. His mind was taken over and his only thoughts were to kill himself.

“Mike, Laura is my world. I know I’m only eighteen but I don’t want to live without her.”

            “She said she wanted to take a break. She didn’t say she wanted you out of her life forever.”

            “She should have just said that. It wouldn’t have hurt anymore than this does.”

            “Chris, just pull over and let me drive.”

            Mike shook his head and started to cry. His watery eyes blurred his vision and Chris started swerving down the road. Mike grabbed the wheel and tried to keep the car on the right side of the road. That was the best he could do if he couldn’t be in the driver’s seat.

            Suddenly, Chris grabbed the wheel from me, push my hands away, then looked me in the eye. As I tell him to pay attention to the road, I looked ahead, as we were headed right into this bright white house that stood right before us.  Going so fast, the brake didn’t even matter. The car slammed into the house, hitting a gas line. The house blew up, killing Chris, Mike, and the innocent family of four.

hello break

Finally, Thanksgiving break, you have arrived. You have know idea how exciting it is to finally be on break. For the last few weeks, school has been killing me. I’ve been doing countless hours of school work, studying, basically all the above. All the tests, quizzes and lab reports I have been doing are killing me. I need a break and it has come at the perfect time.

Last week, before our break was a killer. I had two tests before break and the last thing on my mind was studying, but it had to be done. This week that just passed I had communications test and a chemistry test. Communications was the most of my worries. It is the most boring class and I don’t care about it at all. It has nothing to do with my major so it doesn’t phase me. Now for chemistry, I over studied for that test. It was simple and I thought I did really well on it. I yet have heard back on either of these grades. I will just have to wait and see after break what I got. Hopefully As. 

Over this break I am trying to be a straight up nerd and get a lot of school work done. I have so much to do that can really help me get ahead. I have to finish my English story for starters, blog, and read a book. And for my chemistry class, I have to complete a lab report that is almost done. After this is all done, I would like to get a jump start on applying for nursing school. Hopefully I will be able to begin that process.

Besides that school is going really good. So far in my 3^rd semester at Penn State Abington, this is most definitely my best. I never have worked so hard for my grades but I like it. I like the idea of working hard and pushing yourself because in the end I know if will pay off. Now I know with nursing school, it will not be easy. The way I am now with school, I will have to be 100 times better then I am now if I want to succeed. I know I can do it so I will just push myself. It’s my goal to become a nurse and I will achieve it. No matter what it will take.

few more weeks

What a slow ass week it has been. After a heart breaking exit from the flag football play offs I honestly was upset for a little, not crying like a little bitch but it was fun to play on Sundays and now this Sunday I have nothing to look forward to but oh school is Monday. Anyway this week went by slow but I accomplished a lot of work as the semester day by day is winding down.

This week didn’t have as much work as in the past but it was more preparing for next week. This week I only had one quiz in biology. It was on the 12 cranial nerves. At first, I was stressing about this because there was a lot but when I got the quiz I was so mad that I busted my ass for such a dumb little quiz. Apart from that, the only other thing I have to do is my chem lab, which as always I completed the week in advance. Hopefully I continue my streak of 100s on all my reports.

Right now in regards to school, I stand with I believe, 4 A’s and a B+ border line A-. I am continuing daily to put a lot of time into school because it is important for me to bust my ass because nursing school is a lot harder then school here at Penn State Abington. I have to continue to push myself because if I slack who knows how I will be in nursing school. I don’t think I have to worry about that though because I am not that type of student who just sits back and relaxes, if I do it rarely happens. I usually bust my ass every night regardless of the workload I have, this is the type of student I am, reflecting my grades.

Aside from school, everything is going good. I have been working out 3 days a week, lifting wise. Some other days I throw in some cardio days, if I have some time. I am doing a Monday, Wednesday, Friday lifting program now. I change it almost every week, I know. I have it split into two body parts a day. This is easier because I am working two muscles at a time and can give them a good rest for the week while I work on different areas of my body.

As of right now we have about five weeks left of school. But one week is thanksgiving break! Thank god. This is needed. This break is always good because you sit there and say hey, two more weeks and then a finals week and now we got off for six weeks! I cannot wait until the last day of the semester. One more semester down and then nursing school! That’s if I get in.

About nursing, I am extremely nervous. Tomorrow I am taking my pre-nursing test called the TEAS. I need at least a 60% on it but I am so nervous because I am not good at all on standardized tests. I just have to relax and take my time and hopefully I will do well. If I pass this test, and finish with good grades, I have nothing to worry about at all. I should get in to school. If not then im basically fucked. So I took my test and passed! 70.6% I was so happy because now I have less to worry about. I still have a long way to go but I will get there soon.

football is now over

This past week was a breeze. I had only one test and a quiz, which is shocking because usually I am stuck every week about three tests on average, and or quizzes. I was happy to that my test was in HDFS. That class is super easy but also super boring. When I got that test score back, I was shocked I got a 90. I wasn’t too sure about this test after I took it. It was much harder then I thought but I still studied my ass off as always. Besides that test, I had a quiz in anatomy. This quiz wasn’t too bad. I studied a lot for it but she always throws so many diagrams on her quizzes and test, which make them a lot harder. We still haven’t gotten the grades back but I hear if she likes you then you have a better chance to get an A or at least a higher grade anyway. It doesn’t matter about that though because I have an A anyway. After Tuesday, my week was looking good, I handed in a paper for English and then the rest of the week for me was studying and completing my lab report for chemistry.  Now I was looking forward to Sunday the most, which is tomorrow, why you might ask. FLAG FOOTBALL!

After our games last weekend, and all the final standings came out. We ended up finishing in 8^th place, with a record at 4-6. Even though we are 4-6, we are still a very good team. Some weeks we don’t have all of our players and other times, we just shit the bed. On Sunday, we play at 9:00 vs the dragons. They are 3-7. In the regular season we beat them 33-19. It was a good game but we had them from the start. So Sunday’s game is basically an even matchup. The winner of this game will head to play the number 1 seed, the bar who is 9-1. They only loss one game to F&F. F&F destroyed us. Hopefully we get to play that game at 1 and upset them and make it to the flag football super bowl. Anyway if we don’t, then winning the first game will give our franchise our first ever flag football playoff win. Over the last 3 seasons, we have lost in the first round all 3 times. It was upsetting but this year’s team is looking a lot better then ever before. We just need to play strong defense and not give the ball away on offense like we have been. We must go out there and just bust our asses so we can show the league that this is the Team America they don’t want to play.

Sunday came around and we had our first game. We dominated from the beginning. Our defense was sharp and our offense was explosive. I lead the team with two huge catches, both resulting in a touchdown. The final of game one was 39-19.  A complete blowout. Now we had to wait four hours to play our next opponent. The number one team…. Time pasts and we begin to play. We played a strong first half and were only down 14-13 going into the second half. But as the Bar came out and completely dominated winning the game 26-13. We had two huge chances to score and win the game but we choked and blew it.

Now the season is over but I am glad. It is a lot and the ride isn’t close. Now that the season is over for good, I will be able to work more and pay for my car. I thought over all I played really well this year, both sides of the ball. Currently I am in the running for offense receiver, best hands awards. I hope I win.
