I signed a lease for a new apartment this coming August till the end of may. The place is not as bad as I expected but compared to the place i'll be leaving, its a dump hands down. The neighborhood is so ghetto it defines LA. The places i've looked at a while back had insects and rats running around I seriously just told the lady I was OUTTA HERE! and I ran off. lol

Anyways, school is starting soon and financial aid is coming up QUICK. I need to get all my finances in order then I can start class!!! sweet.

I met this chick walking down USC and she was like "wait, are you lost?" and I was like "not until I met you, can you help me out?" I know that was cheesy but it was kinda off the cuff remark that threw her off. After a quick snack with her she gave me her number. score

I had my final for my business class today and i wish I could've known my score for that class before I left. Too bad this class won't matter in any school...ever

I've been looking for a house near USC and i've realized the extortion they put on you for housing. USC housing has no room, the university apartments have no room, the third party managers are shady and the neighborhood is not that great compared to even Riverside. I wish I did this sooner. Lessons learned

Yesterday was my transfer orientation for incoming students. The day started off at 5:00am in the morning where I had to drop off my sibling off to my parents house. When I arrived however, I found out that the dog had puppies and gave birth to 2 young ones. Unfortunately, 1 died because we weren't there to supervise the delivery but the other one is completely healthy and moving around. After that short little detour in my schedule, I was late for m USC orientation meeting set to start at 7:30am. I had to get to downtown LA in 1 hour and beat traffic during peak 6-7am travel time. After that enjoyable experience of traffic, I arrived to USC to meet my group of advisors and future friends from my major. The whole experience was full of information and meeting some interesting people. I've met very successful individuals from that place and listened to their stories of accomplishment and sucess in their lives. I also met a person named John who seriously questioned my belief in the admissions process but that's another story in itself. During orientation, the food was great, service was excellent and they really had this thing planned for every minute of the day. I went to the fair for clubs and organizations and met some great people there in addition to joining some organizations on the spot. I got my USCspirit card for all games and sporting events on campus including the football games. I also registered for some classes and I barely managed to get 12 units in so far. This orientation has been an experience and I can't wait to get my housing and start school this semester. This was a good choice.

Congrats to Matt for also getting into USC. I didn't doubt your chances in getting in man. All three of my friends who focused on USC got in so we're all excited about getting in. And to think, we were all sarcastic about our chances and doubtful in the beginning part of this year. "man wouldn't it be tight if we all got in...we should throw a party with a keg".

I got my letter today for USC and I am so happy. It finally came after several months of delays and personal visits to their campus. I will be making my decision soon but I am almost sure that this will be my primary choice for my school during the fall 2006 session.

Thanks to all my friends for helping me during this whole process. I enjoyed their company during Chaffey and I hope to continue with them into USC. My family is the most important to me and I want them to know that they're the reason for me suceeding. Thanks to all my friends and family for all the sucess i have reached this year.

Awesome 2006

Well July has been an awesome month regarding many issues. First off, I have finished many projects and got paid on all of them getting an approval for many more for the rest of the summer. My real estate classes are registered to keep my license so I don't have to take a bloody exam again. My brother went to Europe and will be back tomorrow but he had a good time and I can't wait to see him and his photos. My summer classes are going good except I might be needing some more studying in the future. I finished setting up my sister's wedding website that I have been putting off forever.
