flowers for mom
I went to Trader Joe's and found some good daffodils (sp?) for mom. She adores and loves yellow flowers, especially yellow roses! Go support your local Trader Joe's or farmer's market!

paper dreams - die
die
with red fluid dripping
my hands cold and lay twitching
staring at the blur of the traffic
white spots, blinding
my eyes close

Sidekick II Rocks!
I can use the Blogger by email and make instant posts with my Sidekick II! If I could figure out uploading the images from this built-in camera!!
What's in a name?
I got a notice from Google Alerts that they found my screenname listed on this page: Pictures Of Deaf Babies. But I don't see it.. I guess they cycle links on that page often, so my screenname is somewhere else on that site! Anyhow, I think it is an interesting site!
Skool Notes
Oh, wow!! I really can't breathe for several weeks, and it is getting harder and harder to breathe everytime I go to school. Because I am SO frustrated with my English class! It is pissing me off! I have never seen a syllabus 16 pages long IN a community college course! For my Eng101 class, I only had to do 5 papers. I don't know if I understood the Eng102 course description right, but the interpreter said there's 35 essays in this class!! What?!? I'd understand if it was an university English class, but this is way too much for me to handle. Ugh. It is demoralizing when I found out one of my Deaf friends was taking the SAME class and using the SAME book, at another community college in Mesa. He told me he is thrilled he is only doing 5 essays, and here I am, thinking how screwed I am with 35. I honestly can't grasp the lessons and explainations in class. English was supposed to be my favorite subject, and this time, it is not.
Also, I am frustrated with the college library's computer lab. Each and every one of their computer has a DAMN dirty mouse. I can't even roll the cursor smoothly, so it became frustrating for me to do research, trying to focus my time and energy making sure to keep the damn mouse point popping into the right place!! Discouraging!! I sure don't want to work on my school papers on these computers with dirty mice. I wish they'd replace them with optical mice.
I don't start my critical reading class until this Tuesday. *sigh* If English is this hard, I am afraid to find out how hard Critical Reading course would be like.
I guess the only class I actually enjoyed is my math class. The teacher is awesome and has an accent. My interpreter thinks he is from Africa somewhere. One of the students asked the teacher where he is from, he replied, "I am from the country called Earth." I knew he was teasing but the same time, made me wonder what happened to him and the country he came from. Oh, well.. I don't want to pry. The neat thing about this math class is that we do our homework IN class!! I enjoy this very much because that's the best way I can learn. If only my English course would do homework in class.. *sigh*
I am going to discuss what to do with my English class with my advisor today. I do not want to mess up my grades and my financial aid chances! This better work!
Yesterday, I finally got my Sidekick 2!!! My parents bought it for Christmas and it was a late present. I didn't want my parents to get me anything while I was in Utah during December. Less things to worry about packing and moving to Arizona! Whew!! Anyway, the Sidekick 2 comes with a built-in camera. I'll be taking pics and posting them to a photoblog. Hope you'll enjoy it!
I hope that I can keep a weblog more and more. Because of my problems with trying to write my assignments and feeling my brain lock-up, I feel that trying to write in this blog would help me try to loosen up my brain so it'll get easier to sponge up the overload of information during English class. Wish me luck.. :(
