Greek Life

This is semester I joined the school sorority Beta Upsilon Delta. It was the best decision I have ever made in my life. I am part of the Upsilon class of the sorority and I crossed with nine beautiful awesome ladies who I love so much. Here are the basic facts for my name and bigs....

 My sister name is Alannah. Alannah was chosen for me based for my love on Ireland. It is a Gaelic name meaning my child and beautiful. During pledging I always would go to my bigs for reassurance and guidance which made them like my parents. I am beautiful because I have overcame a lot of obstacles in my life. I never let negativity stop me from achieving my goals. I am beautiful inside and out.

Bigs: As every greek life organization I have a big sister. Correction I have two big sisters: Harley and Lady. Originally I had just Lady, but Harley was given to me at a later date. Looking back on the family tree I appear to be only the person with two bigs. I love my big sisters so much because they, along with with my line sisters, helped me through pledging.

That is it for now, I am pretty sure I will be writing about sorority events pretty soon. First event: Pinwheel Campaign :)

Arresting children over nonsense

So I was in class today in the library when the teacher was teaching us how to cite an internet link. She had us go on CNN.com and that is where i found the article. A 12 yr old girl from Forest Hills, Queens, NY was just simply doodling on her desk during class saying that she loved her friends. Nothing profane or explicit. The teacher saw this and had the cops come into the classroom and handcuff her in front of her classmates and escorted out of class. As many may know in New York City the public schools have school police officers stationed  in some part of the school. The police is there to help keep crowd control and behavior problems in the schools. But going back to this story. I thought it was crazy just to arrest a child for doodling on a desk. I remember when I went to grammar school (which wasn't so long ago) if a student wrote on the desk they simply got reprimanded and then was made to clean off the desk with water and soap. Nowadays students get arrested for that. In the article her mother explains that she was suspended for three days and the girl spent those days vomiting from the anxiety of getting trouble. This girl never got in trouble before this incident. Arresting children seems to be the new trend and it is happening more frequently that you can imagine. Children across the United States have getting arrested over silly things like this and I think it is ridiculous. Whatever happened to students just simply getting reprimanded by the teacher or the principal and maybe getting a punish assignment. I think those days are gone.... now its off to jail.....

Girl's Arrest for Doodling Raises Concerns for Zero Tolerance

I definitely need a car

So I have my permit. I had my permit since I was 18 years old. I am nearly 21 and I STILL don't have my license. Although I do live in the Big Apple, my neck of the woods sucks with it comes to public transport. All we have is one subway, one commuter train, and then some buses that do not run all night. Some of you may be asking why are you complaining? You have something! But you guys do not understand. It always takes long to get home when I am out in Brooklyn. I am ALWAYS in Brooklyn. All my friends are there and I go to school there. I rather prefer to live in Brooklyn, but right now I don't have that choice because I am an unemployed broke college student. Granted I graduate next year so I do not have more to go, but before the summer of 2010 is over I need my license. It would be so much  better for me. I can go home when I want, and I wouldn't have to beg people for rides... which by the way.... I hate doing.

This past week

Where have I been this past week? SCHOOL! Since school has started school has once again become my life. My thesis classes are so heavy. I have a professor who seems not to help us at all which it totally frustrating. I am like sir you are here to help us formulate and learn how to write a thesis, but you aren't doing any of that. Instead he just tells us figure out, or I can't help you, or find it yourself. This week I had my first Holocaust class since it is a once a week three hour class. I found out my professor who teaches us that class does the same thesis classes out on the Patchogue campus. I was brave enough to ask him in class. I am sure people's eyes almost came out the sockets when I asked, but he seems so much nicer and easier to approach than my current professor. I tried out for the school musical this week. This semester we are producing the 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee. I was on the fence for trying out, and Wednesday evening I did. At that point I was telling myself if I don't make then I wouldn't be upset because I have sorority stuff this semester as well as my thesis classes to occupy me and oh yes as well as dance and chorus. Then as I did the character portion of the tryouts I tried out as this girl who has a lisp and I fell in love with her. I got called back yesterday to tryout again. I certainly was not expecting to get a call back at all. I also participated in Rush Week. I am very nervous of trying to attempt everything and excel in everything. I will try write on here periodically so you guys can know I am alive, but before I go please wish me luck because this semester is the HELL semester.
