Late November Nights
When the winds pick up and the cold breeze tingles my face and the night sky is in full affect/effect I get a sudden sense of nostalgia that takes me back a couple of years. There's no cold like Late November Nights.

Matematicas will ruin my life
So here's my situation:
I'm currently taking a Math 14 class at college in order to get into Math 101(which is what counts for UC CSU transfer credits). About a week ago our class took an exam and just like I thought everybody failed it. So now the professor is coming up with an alternative so we have a chance to get a better grade. Now i calculated what it would take for me to pass this class and i would have to get a B or higher on my next 2 exams. Also according to some other professors only 25% of the students taking Math 14 will pass and the other 75% are likely to fail. Now i have never been good at Math and whenever i take it i struggle through it. So you probably wonder what happens if you don't pass? Well in my situation if I don't pass I don't get anymore financial aid. No more financial aid means i have to pay for everything on my own.(All can add up to over $500) Now you say well if you know your probably not going to pass why don't you drop the class with a W? Well guess what i can't because if i get an F or W I wont get anymore financial aid. In conclusion I'm now forced to keep taking the class and try and pass my Exams.
Note this though:
- I freeze up on test
- For me it's not easy adapting to a traditional class coming out of 4 years of IMP
- I'm not good at Math in general

i feel lost
I knew this would happen.
When i first got my camera i was so psyched. Knowing that i saved up for it and paid for it on my own was such an amazing feeling. There i was snapping away not knowing what the hell i was doing and getting those lucky shots every once in a while. After a while of having it my enthusiasm was a bit lost. Soon enough i was rarely using it and it somewhat just sat in my room. Why is this? IDK! Then recently i was asked to be a photographer for my friends Quince. Sometime during the Quince my camera's auto focus stopped working. Luckily i have warranty on the camera so i sent it in to get fixed. Its been about a week and a half now and i have just come to the realization that i really miss my camera... Soon enough though I'll get it back and I'm hoping that I get all enthusiastic again.
