Update

I'm back again. I don't have much too say. I have a test coming up on Monday, October 1, that I'm actually looking forward to. I know I am going to pass. I'm holding steady with my weight. I have been exercising steadily - there are days when I don't want to - but I do. When it comes down to doing things I need to do, I tell myself that I don't want to do them. That's why I've gotten to the size I am now. But I've decided that since I'm in college, I need to all I can to better myself, education-wise, but healthwise as well. I believe that part of the reason why some of us fail and succeed is the type of attitude that we display. Yes, I ache the next day after exercising, but, I know down the line that it will be worth it.

Part II

I have not updated my page since September 12, 2007. I didn't really have anything to say. But, today, I have a lot to say. I was just on the internet and pulled up a sight where cities are now beginning to crack down on people wearing sagging, dragging pants. For what I can surmise, the problem now is that young african-american men will be targeted. Not, african-american men will be targeted. These people are now saying that it is against their constitutional rights and freedom. You know what, it is against my constitution and freedom that I have to bear witness to seeing this "trend". I'm sorry. This is not a trend to me. This is an act of rebellion against society's ethics, morals and value's system. If someone has a problem with being targeted about (i.e. wearing bagging clothes, revealing shirts, dresses, etc), then I would think that you would say to yourself, "gee, maybe I need to show my individualism another way that does not offend or rankle people. I always say that just because as Americans we have the right to freedom and speech, sometimes we don't need to do or say things, particularly if you know it will offend people. I believe that society has come to that exact point - I don't care how offensive I am, deal with it. I think that is wrong.

The Day In The Life Of Psych Student

Hello! Welcome to my Blog. I'm currently a Psychology Student attending York Cuny College, set to graduate 2009. I'm an older student, working part time and trying to make my mark in this big, wide world. I, never thought that I was college material. I didn't feel that I was smart enough to attend college-how ridiculous-but I have found out that you need to have goals, focus, iniative and persistence. You have to be able to manage not only your school schedule, but your work schedule as well. To do this, I purchased a marker board where I input my full schedule of what I'm doing for the week. I also have an appointment calendar which I put in my work times, classes, study periods, reading and exercise. Yes, I do have a full schedule. On top of all of this, I'm on a weight-loss program. I have to lose 75 pounds and I plan to be successful. I have to also have a notebook to note in my exercise times, eating schedule, nutrition of food, food portioning, weight, and what I eat daily. It sounds intense, and it is. My advice to anyone is that please, please, please, watch your diet. I don't care how depressed, stressed or angered you become. Using food as a stimulus for feeling good does not work. It is only a temporary solution. Believe me, I am living proof of this. I'll head off now. I will update this blog periodically. Please feel free to comment. I welcome responses from people in similar situations. The purpose of this blog is to give encouragement in whatever your endeavors are in this world. Peace!
