Sieve and the Sand !

Before I started my reading, I was really curious what the heck Sieve and the Sand meant? What exactly is the relevance to the book? I guess I'll find that out in class. I find it really sad that Millie is still pushing poor Guy away. :( Anyway, Guy goes back into time and meets Faber, and Faber is kind of like a guide for Guy. Once again we get another new device that kind of reminds Guy of the seashell. It's also really interesting to me that Guy (the fireman) gets out a book for Millie and her friends? I don't know but I think I need to re-read some parts, some things just aren't clear to me yet.

FLAMINGO!

Pink birdies I absolutely love :-) It was common to see them where I lived in South Florida, but in York, PA? Yes, seriously! As I was driving to my boyfriend's house today I couldn't help but notice the flock of plastic lawn flamingos taking up his front yard! I thought it was really cool because one of his mom's friend's does that as some type of charity work. I looked online and people also do that for different occasions and surprises, check it out!

Med Training

Today I had to go into work 8-4, which isn't bad considering my normal shift is 11-7. I had to go to work today because we had to do more med training. Medicine training, for those of you who don't know what I'm talking about, is basically a class dedicated to informing PCA's about our med passes we do PRN (every shift). So anyway, it was super boring. I am finally home and I am sick and tired of hearing about how much Oxycontin to give this resident and how much penicillin to give this resident. It's really helpful information though to give care, I just wish it wasn't so cut and dry. The upside, there was free candy :-) I'm back there tomorrow 8-4 then 6-11. It's going to be a longg day :-)

York Fair!

Yes, believe it I went to the fair for the first time this year. I have been living up here for close to seven years now and I had never gone to the fair. In Florida, I always went to the South Florida fair and it was a huge deal, we got off school for two days! So I guess I got too stubborn and wouldn't wanna see anything less than amazing. I know a lot of people that complain about how boring the York Fair is, but it wasn't that bad. (let's not forget it was my first time!) On student night I went with my Boyfriend, Jared, Adam, Kayte, Tori, Ethan and Leanna. It was pretty fun because I saw so many people there I knew! I really liked watching the sarcastic clown make fun of people when they walked by. Although I had to leave early Tuesday night to pick up my Daddy at BWI. I went back tonight with my Boyfriend and Kayte and Adam. It wasn't as crowded this time, so that was nice, I hate crowds! We played a couple games of "I got it!"..which I had never played before but my first game I won! Then Jared bought me cotton candy and we got these huge cookies! We also ate food at this one stand, which I don't remember the name, had good food. So anyway, my experience at the York Fair was pretty cool. We had to leave early again though, Jared and I had to watch our show, Tool Academy!(Plus, I was freezing!) It's a funny show you should watch it.

"Procrastination is the art of keeping up...with yesterday"

So I have this synthesis paper that I am suppose to have finished by tomorrow at 3:30 for Sociology. Even though I have had since last Monday to get it done, I have only gathered information and started a thesis statement. The rest should just flow easily right? Wrong. I haven't felt like doing it since I worked all weekend, and I'm using that as an excuse right now. The honest truth is I'll probably be up 'til about 2 am finishing this paper. I may procrastinate, but I can at least finish things before the deadlines. I just thought I'd confess my bad habit to the bloggers. :)

F 451

This was my weekend to work at Normandie. I am required to work every other weekend, and since I work 3rd shift, I always bring homework because there is never anything to do until 5 am med pass. So anyway, I decided to bring Fahrenheit 451 along. I got a cup of coffee and tried to get comfortable in the office chair to start my reading The Hearth and the Salamander. I'm not too sure about you guys, but it take a little bit of patience for me to actually get into a book. I love reading, but some books, I find myself re-reading and saying "what"? after like 2 pages. So what I got from reading the beginning of the book is there is a fireman, Montag, but he isn't a fire rescue man, his job is to burn books. What was even worse, he had to burn books while people were inside their own homes! This I thought was weird. Why are they banning peoples' books? I think that's wrong. I guess I need to read more to see why exactly this book is banned.

BOSS MAN say who?

I am talking about Miami's finest, six-foot, 300 pound, tattooed, boss man, Ricky Ross! Many know him for his drug trafficking, and many know him for keeping up his reputation in Miami-Dade county with his rap songs such as "Hustlin' ". Ricky Ross, whose real name is William Ross was born and raised in Carol City, FL. For those of you who don't know, Carol City is an impoverished town north of Miami. Ricky began rapping during the '80s-'90s, along with running the largest crack and cocaine distribution through the country. This distribution was most known as, "Freeway". He has then retired from drug trafficking but has still been bringing the beats. Slip-N-Slide records who Trina B and Trick Daddy belong to, is also Ricky Ross' record label. Rick Ross is my one of my favorite rappers and I love reading his history.
