Tornado in NYC?

So if you haven't heard already NYC got hit by a tornado/twister. Badly. There was hail and it was disgustingly dark. Ugh. Queens got hit the hardest. My campus got hit badly too (tearing off the roof of our tennis court) good stuff. I was underground in the subway for the entire thing, missing the storm by ten minutes. -___-;;

USPS

Do we pay for them out of taxes? They're horrible. Their shipping is horrendous, seriously. It's been a month since i ordered my college books and they have YET to arrive to my house. Its not even like they're huge books either, they're the size of reading books. The other two books I ordered came through Fed-X and UPS and arrived in a week. So, what the hell is going on?

On a similar note,

If you live in Brooklyn,

Post Office™ Location - FLATBUSH

2273 CHURCH AVE
BROOKLYN, NY 11226-9997

(800) ASK-USPS

(718) 284-5631

Fax: (718) 693-8776

WORST. POST OFFICE. EVER.

• lines are disorganized.(which starts for so many problems)
• ---> people create imaginary lines
• ---> the people are flat out crazy and empty headed
• workers are disorganized

There is ALWAYS a problem when I go. I kid you not. Last year I went for a package and some old lady* tried to skip me before i got off to go on the line to pick up a package. This year. The line is magically gone. I wait on line for 40 minutes and these ..... special people begin to create a line of their own, walk right up to the window and hand in their piece of mail when there's a mailbox right outside (the people are going to send it out the same day. anyway. unless you need it stamped. Wait on the damn line). And this my friends is why no one bothers with Brooklyn. No. Flatbush. the people are ignorant idiots. The concept of organization bypasses them. And chaos ensues. this. concludes why you should just avoid this post office. I'm going to see if I can get mine changed to the one closer to me and if not, redelivery forever.




* I have 0 tolerance for the general population of old people. I've tried but one assaulted me and the rest are rude and think because they are old, deserve everything. So no. 0 tolerance.

Baking?

Club Day

My internet access died for a few days, go figure. Anyway. Club Day was on Wednesday this week. I didn't have school but went to it anyway. It was pretty good. People did a lot of cool things it looked fun. I joined two clubs and couldn't find two more that I wanted to join so I think I'll just go to their office and sign up. 

I like  how the pictures I take make it look like a big crowded event....which it was. :d

CAMPUS

I love photography so there's going to be a lot of pictures.

High School Seniors

If you're in H.S. and you want CUNY. Apply for Macaulay Honors. I had the chance and blew it because I decided to be stupid and just a little lazy. Not worth it. If you get in CUNY's program it's free. You just have to sacrifice some time to write two essays and suck up to your teachers. So since I'm already in and not competing, might as well advertise it.

The Beginning

I'm a freshman out of high school so I don't know a damn~ thing about the college life. Fun stuff. I started Queens College August 26th this year.
I chose it because
1. financial reasons (and apparently i don't qualify for finacial aid which is bullshit) and I'm not spending money until graduate school because come one. That's where it all counts if I'm planning to continue my education.
2. I wanted CUNY with a campus life (CSI is too hard to get to)
3. I liked it.

There are a lot of mixed reviews about Queens College. Quite honestly I don't give a shit about them. I'm starting from scratch and this is my experience so I have no bias. I could have given my all to Hunter or City but I didn't. People are different and differ in appeals. Hunter is in the city and quite honestly i feel its too rigid to me. City doesn't have that spacial quality i wanted. John Jay was down the street from my old High School and I passed by it a few times before deciding I really wasn't into them (i think the vibes from their students did it for me). Sorry John Jay. Brooklyn college was another i could go to (right down the street),  my mother graduated there, she loved it, but it's eh to me probably because my mother went.

School is going pretty well so far. I have school Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays which isn't too bad. Taking five classes apparently i'm taking too many. My classes are good but history....i need to work my ass off for that class.Books are a rip off. I had to buy a thin Poli Sci book for $105 dollars. It was the size of InStyle Magazine. Another book was $30. Bought it for $5. I'll post the list of places to get books
Anthropology with Professor Birth is amazing. Take him. It's only been two weeks in his class but I can remember everything from lecture and hes engaging.
Drama is also amazing.

We'll see how things go from here.
