Ramon Falcon: June 2008 Archives

OMG!!! The finally day iz almost here! It was tight will it lasted! There waz a lot of up and downs will being here. But it was all-enjoyable doing many of the things that we did.
Lets c……… some advise for next year would be to give us more free time that way we bond better and it wouldn’t feel like it is strictly business!

It felt to me that it was mostly strictly business because we didn’t have a lot of time everyday to be able to kick it together as a group and do something at top of the line fun. I don’t know maybe…maybe if we had an activity where we had to find something all across campus… or if we could just explore SF STATE maybe… for some of us that are going to be applying to colleges or universities next year! You know stuff like that… or what makes SF STATE, SF STATE……….

Or I know if we could try things that are new more often…. Like sushi…. you know something like that. Even though you know we did try something new. Or how bout if we could sit-in one journalism class to see if interests us a little more!

I enjoyed a lot of the things that we did.

It felt like I was kind of slow though because I couldn’t really move by myself with my story because I didn’t really understand how to write my story.

I mean I really don’t have a lot of experience…. I dint have any experience with writing a newspaper…thing.

Good morning! Waz happining!?!? we did lots of stuff like always! But yesterday was my crunch time! I basically wrote most of my story in one day! I got a whole lot done in one day!

I didn't think I was going to finish my story since I have never really written something so BIG and small at the same time. I usually just write hella BS in my essays at school. It was a good day kuz my shizet is done! When my story was complete I felt complete too! It was like I had taken a lot of weight off my chest. Monica and I are doing this one project that is bout creating some multimedia that is about the gay marriages and it has to be able to capture the audiences attention and teach them something that they didn’t already knew about it.

There’s a whole lot that Monica and I have to view and hear to crate a masterpiece where everything flows right and will appear like we want it to be. Plus we have to get Aaron to like it or else he is going to just close the window and no one is going to see our hard worked video-clip.

Rehearsing for BAMMA idol is like being in a boat by my self with no paddles and slowly getting farther away from the shore. It feels that way because I don't have a partner to sing with and I don’t know if I’m going to go solo and I don’t know what song, plus time is ticking and we are getting closer and closer to BAMMA Idiol.

Waz up wit it maien!?!?! so letz c wat I did yesterday? We did lots of things! Yesterday we went to the Juneteenth festival by city hall. its was tight kuz i got to eat sum bbq!!! Ppl say that it was hella expensive! but it was worth it! being a wannabe chef you know if it is kinda high then, it might be a little expensive! Dat was kinda cheap! Kuz i member i dat i 1nce spent like 5o bucks 4 2 ppl! That was really not worth it kuz it didnt really turn out to sumthing good ! Ya feel me!!! It was like not kool! but ya I dont really know y but I guess I spend money fast like dat! Its like is it worth more to have sum new experience or to buy sum clothes!??! which 1 do I go with?

We went to beach! It was tight! I wanted to go hella deep and ride a wave sort of like thiz 1 girl was doing kuz it seemed hella fun! U know wat im going to come back to SF, it was hella fun! It is hella different from I expected to be! Pluz the freaking beach iz like not dat far from here! and it iz like a tight hang out spot though it would be nice to go to Miami!!!! it kinda seems like it would be better out there too!

Sitting and writing…. One of the most important things about BAMMA! But when you really don’t have any subjects to write about then it is one of the most boringest things to do! Just writing about blank is like walking in the woods at night with no light. How is it possible to walk somewhere…go some where with out any light.

But I have accomplished somethings… I think! I keep on saying to my self that if and when I get an undocumented student to write about then everything will just flow back to my head. If only I could get someone to interview fast with audio and video. I found some people but either I need more information from them or they don’t fit the story that I’m trying to write about. Some way or another I’m going find to find my way of writhing what I want to write about.

The main things that I’m trying to focus my paper in is on immigration and youth…. There is this one saying that immigrants try harder in school to succeed in school.

What I do yesterday? Hmmm! Well mainly the things that stick out to me the most is when I went on to interview people about the story that I am supposed to write about! I really don’t know how I even pulled out to interview people! I don’t recall the steps that I took to interview I just did!

Oh yah! Yesterday I had a first experience! LOL!

I tried out Sushi, which was really cool! Well technically it is not Sushi… the seafood was not raped around with anything at all it was just the meat by its self. The whole thought of eating raw food was just in my mind and in my stomach! It was a tight experience because it was my fist time eating something raw that was not marinated or cooked in anyway. I also kinda learned how to eat with chopsticks. Eating with chopstick was an over whelming experience because I felt like a jackass for not knowing ho to eat with chopsticks. At first I kinda did get how to work the chopsticks but then later on I kinda lost everything when I set the chopsticks down and then pick them up again.

Seeing this raw slices of fish at the begging was kind of a moment of thought, What did I get myself into!?!?!”

I tend to just jump on things, get overwhelmed and do an okay job…or quite entirely! Being a rookie at eating Sushi… I thought that the wasabi was lik the Asian version of guacamole. Luckily I did not jump at it! Thank got I didn’t! Because just a little taste of that green stuff had me trippin'! That green stuff was in like in between something spicy and something real nasty! I mean even Vitter salad taste better! I seriously felt like slapping the s--t out of the person that invented wasabi. You know... like what were you thinking!

Waz up wit it!?!

Today was a weird day for me!!! It’s been between a fun and a sick day! At first my body and brain was like, “Should I throw up, or do my thing!?!”

So basically the most important thing that we did today was to document the things that were happening at the San Francisco City Hall, same-sex couples were getting married legally... finally!

To me, it seems really pointless for people get married, because later on they have to spend a ton on lawyers just to get single-dom back again. So my point of view is: why get married in the first place!?! But hey, if they want to mess up their lives by getting married when they can just be together and be happier, more power to them. I’m not saying that I wont get married “some-day” but its just that now-a-days people who get married just get un-married so fast. They may not even last into their honeymoon! It’s as if people are getting married only to protect their future investments.

But I had fun! I enjoyed taking pictures for the most part, like I said before it was kind of hard for me to take pictures at the beginning but then later on I said to my self, Screw it!” I’m going to do what I’m here to do and I’m going to try to have some fun with this. As soon as I got the camera I got the whole deal of how to take pictures and I tried to my hardest to take some effing great photos! Basically all I really wanted to do was take photos and do some audio so I could later on make a good presentation on what happened.

So far, in this magnificent set of events that these sophisticated young people have put together, has been awesome experience! I am basically a scientist right now!!! I'm just observing people in there very own habitat! Its been a great... like being in a show with The Discovery Channel. Some things that I have observed so far is how people interact with one another. My plan from now on is to get out of my shell and leave that shell behind because I'm not the quiet type! I'm taking over every thing! (except that talent show!!) I still don't know what I got myself into because I suck at spelling!

So far the people that I have come across with have been cool. So far I have really gotten along with Monica because she is the type of person that just makes you laugh because of the things that she does as a person that just can't stop moving. I have also gotten to know Jamari because we have lots of things in common, we think some of the same thoughts. I kind of gotten to know Justin because he is my roommate but other then that,we don't really relate with anything right now.
