Becky's Blog Challenge →
So after 11 days of sulking and whining, I’ve begun Becky’s assignment.
Chances are she may not be too pleased about the platform I chose, but screw it — I’m only breaking one rule, so she should be happy. And Tumblr is frickin’ awesome.
One of the reasons I took so long, however, is that I couldn’t come up with a name. And a bit of procrastination.
But hey,...
Becky's blog challenge is turning out to be more...
The mere fact I have to open a WordPress or Blogger account is disconcerting enough. And I want it so badly to be in tumblr…
You know what? Screw it. The more I think about it, the more time I waste.

Nah don’t sensor! Hope it went well!
It did go well; the group and I set a bar, i hear. Let’s see if the others bring it.

An Ode to Hamid
To this day there is no one in this university who can hold my attention the way you do.
No one who teaches with so much confidence and passion.
No one who can effortlessly motivate a room full of students to go out and seek knowledge.
You are part of a dying breed, sir. May these halls never see a day without your legacy walking through them.

Congratulations — you have successfully made me annoyed.
You are such a hypocrite. In fact, for intentionally making such a foolish statement in a room full of Communcations students, you are just a dumb bitch.
There is no chance in hell you can be living in a society that is so sexually charged, especially at this time of year, listen to the lyrics of an already piss-poor song performed...

It doesn’t have much in it, and I’ll have to censor some things. Like a LOT of things…
Presentation number one, in less than an hour
After taking the better part of two hours putting together PowerPoint slides from scratch, and brainstorming with my colleagues for almost two weeks, it all comes down to this — 20% of my final grade.
So the topic is boring as hell. But the presentation won’t be. Space age blue text on black, music playing in the background, and a few semi-tastefully censored nude shots here and...
My good deed for the day
It was about 12:30pm, and I was on the Bus Route waiting for a maxi to head east. Genius that I was, I forgot an assignment and had to rush back home for it. So here I was, the sun blazing down on me. The heat was defininitely unnatural.
Next thing I know this dude crosses the road, and asks me, “Aye, yuh know where the Croisee is?”
I was caught off-guard for a second, but only a...

Uncle Joshua. My God.
Is this actually happening? This is not supposed to be happening.
So my brother and his girlfriend, who decided to do a Brangelina type of arrangement have announced their future bundle of… whatever it’ll be. My mother’s now a grandmother, and my father… well, he’ll have to live with it.
What’s surprising though is how well the two old fogeys took it. I was...

But you should have showed her all the advantages of using Tumblr :D!!
I tried, but no cigar :( Still gonna push for it though.

Ugh Wordpress. Blech.
LOL… I relayed your disgust to Becky with the worst grimace...

Becky: So for your assignment I want you to start a blog. My original intent was to use the campus journals, but since campus IT will get to completing the network shell sometime after Carnival, and they conveniently locked me out of my account with no hope of giving it back, we'll go this route.
Me [thinking]: YES! [opens tumblr app on phone]
Becky: Now I have a few rules. They must not be existing blogs...
Me [thinking]: No problem [attempting to conjure up a name for the new blog]
Becky: ...there must be some sort of way for me and your fellow classmates to comment...
Me[thinking]: Disqus!
Becky: ...you are required to post at least once a week on the topics in your course outlines...
Me [thinking]: Pssssshhhh!
Becky: ...and I expect the posts to be somewhere around 300 words max.
Me [thinking]: tumblr is SO perfect for this!
Becky: Oh, and one other thing - I prefer if you use a site like Blogger or WordPress.
Me [thinking]: WHAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTTTTTT!? No tumblr? [sob] Very well then. CHALLENGE ACCEPTED.
Stop the world I wanna get off.

12 weeks of this is going to be a doozie.

Procrastinator me: I have until 5, it's only like the conclusion, and how long does e-mailing take?
Model Student Me: What about your vow to conquer STA this year?
Procrastinator Me: Well I am, duh! I ain't huttin' my head over UWI.
Model Student Me: Oh, how inspiring.

My thoughts on week one, semester two
It’s so good to be around familiar faces. I actually thought I’d be alone, in a set of classes with the run-of-the-mill wide-eyed UWI teeny-boppers
My new nickname is 007, since the dean of my faculty has approved all seven courses, along with a licence to kill — myself
I is not looking forward to the schedule; six days I’ll be up in that place. But hey — I gotta...

...and so it begins. Again.
School is back in, yay! Ha.
Another semester in the pursuit of enlightenment, knowledge, and ultimately the formula to a better world! Or so I want to believe.
But I’m glad it came sooner than later, on the heels of my mind being lukewarm from last year’s series of adventures. Add to that my surprise A for Criminal Justice Systems, and I’m a bit more stoked than usual.

Lucky number seven
So I did sonething I though I would never do. Even though St Augustine only allows five courses per semester for their full-time undergraduate students, I had the gall to apply for seven.
SEVEN! I, who bemoan long lectures and spaced out tutorials. I, who would stop at nothing to stay off of the people’s campus. I, have taken, seven courses for the period January to April 2012.
I must be...
...well this is a fun start to the day.
Go onto UWI’s website. Check grades. B, B, A, B, C.
…wait, WHAT!? A!?
Now I have no problem with the A, it’s just what I got it for. The one course I LOATHED more than everything else. The one with the difficult lecturer and obnoxious tutor. The one whose content was lost in some corner of the West India Collection, which, apparently, is off-limits to undergrads (as if that...

At least its a start.
Indeed, at least. Fingers crossed in hope that we make some headway.

How did it go?
Ummm… better than expected. I got him to talk, but not much. Whatever it is that’s troubling him, I hope he gets it off his chest soon.

My father and I
We’ve had an odd relationship. It has changed from little wide-eyed me seeing him as this big, tall superhero guy to trying to understand his textbook Hispanic machisimo to struggling with his attempts to mould me into his image and likeness to something so complicated I can’t even begin to explain. And we’ve gotten to this point where we barely cross paths, and when we do...
