Wednesday. [Only 2more Days]

Well we are all here cleaning and typee chillin. I had class onece again && it was my last. Finally there are only 2 more dayss of SYEP. Yayyy mad happy. But anywayss the job was fun throughout the summer. I didn't really get people to really know me & didn't show them who I really was. I did have fun a lil bit with them though. We were a winning team and we still are. NEWSEUM is who we are. Peaceee !!!!!

What a Day.

Ohhh man. Presentation was poppin today. I actually liked thiss presentation. We was practicingg for like 2 hours, and itss was boring. My other teammates was like "Charlene, youre makingg me bored, SPEAK LOUDER !" I can't fckn help it if i dont speak loud enough. I hate speaking loud, I dont even like the way I talk, I sound like a young man-lady. Seriously. But anyway the presentation went well && we had hoped we won but we didn't. It'ss okay though, we was a winning team, and we are still a team. We win some, we lose some. It'ss okay though. GO NEWSEUM ! All of was acting out the Maury Show & American Idol, & its wass so funny. It would've been better if somebody video taped it. Awww man, it would've been overr. lol But we had fun anywayss, we could take a lost. At least we worked hard & did our part. We would likee to thank the judges for supporting our team & watchingg our presentation.

the end has come

well peeps we r at de end. it has come to say well done. that being said i am happy because i can finally focus on getting my travel class homework and get ready for culinary school. today i am going to bloomberg studios and then i have a presentation at columbia which i have confidence we will win if we dont fool around. i am kinda nervous because i have top talk to the judges again which to me is not an easy task b/c i tend to get nervous and shake alot. afterwards i would like top take a ride and film times square after dark for my travel class homework. plus i need to start getting ready for my trip i would like to take be4 de summer iz done but anyways i got to email party of my homework so wes iz out peace

Busy Mondayy.

Yoooo. I really didnt want to go to work today. Madd busyy. I had to do a 5-paragraphh essay about what I learned at Harlemlive & 2-paragraphh essay about myself. Come on, you know how many timess I hatee writingg about myself? It's too muchh work. Mind you, I aint even finishh bothh of my essays, so what was I suppose to do? Had no time to even finishh cuzz everybodyy rushing me to do something else. We was practicingg for our "final" presentation. Over & Over & Over. I mean it was typee funn. But I think we gonna win tmmrw if we step it up.

Ughhh.

Ohhh hell nooo. My weekend was horriblee. The worst weekend ever. Now people know why I go to Bklyn EVERY weekend!!! I had to babysit my sister's twoo devil kidss in thee BRONX. [I hate going to thee BRONX.] I swear I be wishingg they was never my neice & nepheww. Seriouslyy. Well shit I did get paid for it so I aint complainingg about money comingg to me. But thesee kidss are hard-headed to the fullest likee they never fckn listen to me. NEVER !!!!!!!!!!!!!! I made a deal to my sister if I was gonna be doing this babysitting, she better pick me up from house & take me backk home the NEXT day. But no, she hadd to keep there till Sunday, && she dropss me off at the train station. How rude of her ! I wass really pissed that day when I had to go home by myself on the train. Man I said fck her & she better not call me again for this shit. Deadass !

Anywayss, my weekend was pretty good. I slept over my best friends house last friday and i spent the whole day with her on saturday. Then yesterday I was at my stepfathers boat with my Boyfriend and family. it was pretty cool. Even though it was cloudy outside, i didnt care, i enjoy cool weather. But i was freezing in the water. But overall it was niceee.

Itss Char Char Again.

I wasnt at work like all day. I had my 1:30 to 4:00 Class today. That was sooo fun. Our topic for the day was about Sex Education. It was so funny Because the teacher had kept using me as a reference. The teacher and this other student are ALWAYS arguing about different sexuality and stuff. They try to make differences between right and wrong and it got that serious. But anyway, that was funny. All the arguing took up most of the class time so that was great too. I had fun today. I can't wait till next week. Holalujahh. If that how you spell it. lol.

Wednesday.

Awww man. Today was a good day today. In the morning I went down to 42nd street Times Squaree again to take somee picturess becausee yesterday there were no picturess taken and I went window shoppingg for a lil bit. Guess what ? I saw Spongebob today. Yay. I used MY own camera this time. Then after that, I went to Best Buy on 86 street to buy My CSI: Crime Scene Investigation dvds becausee I love that show soo soo much you dont understand. I got the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 6th, and 8th Season. Thatss how much I love this show. I was so excited theyyy had more Seasons of the show. I've been waitingg for thosee. It was a good trip though.

Bowling

I suck at bowling ot os the truth. even a girl beat me I was really mad but it was a playful anger. So but I wished we could've stayed there but it was starting to get boring after a while and my fingers were starting to hurt and I could barely hpld some of the bpwling balls but it was funny every time sombody got a gutter ball but still I lost but who cars im not an professional bowler so ha so im bout o leave

Malik is out

So, yesterday I heard that our presentation has to be about ten minutes long. Well, this kinda disturbs me because now my group has to practice practice and PRACTICEE. And tomorrow i will be leaving early so a good day to practice is today =/

I dont think my group would be ready, we havent been ready for anything really. But we'll see how things go i guess.

42nd Street Times Square.

What a good trip downtown. Our team Newseum went to 42nd street to do a short P.O.S. which was kind of cool. We was walking around trying to get an interview of a person. There was a short interesting show going on in front of the museum "Ripley's Believe It or Not". There were two street performers and they were doing some stunning tricks. We had mad fun down there. Well I have to go down there again tomorrow morning to capture more pictures so I can do a photo slide show. I might go buy something from somewhere around there while I'm at it. Peace, yall take care !

42nd st

today we went to 42nd st to film for our neighborhood story and do a pos on it. it was really fun because we met street performers and we got to see many amazing tricks. one of my most memorable moments was when we saw a lady eat fire and this guy sticked something like a big pin all the way down his nose.

timee square

Well, my team and I went to 42nd street to do a nieborhood story. It was pretty cool. Theres always something going on in Time Square. We watched two street perfomers. One of them was a guy, he was putting a screw driver in his nose. He was cool. Maurita got to interview him. She did pretty good. Then the other performer was this female, she was doing some fire thing. The performance was real good. I enjoyed it. I got to interview only two people for my p.o.s., the first guy was cool, the second was annoying me but whatever.

Like every other day, I really want to go home, i am so tired.

So, its August. Thank God. Im pretty happy but school is going to start next month which is going to suck because i do not want to go back to school. This program is over by next week. Im okay about that. My summer is so fun so far. I been going out alot. Last weekend I went on my stepfathers boat and i jumped in the water. that was cool. Yesterday I went to Citi Field with my Boyfriend. I do not like the mets, they suck. But he does so I went. I had 2nd row seats which was cool. This month is going to be more fun because I am going to a hotel in P.a. and to Hershey Park and probably to a Dew Ranch in upstate with my boyfriend. And im going to 6flags again. So, im looking forward to the next few weeks =) I went to many cruise-lines this summer and to helicopter rides and I really dont want this summer to end, but thats lifee.

I dont want to be here right now cuz i am so sleeeeeeeeeepy zzzzzzz

It's August. Practice makes Perfect.

Finally August is here. I been waiting for this month to come. Its been 6 weeks since I've been working for this summer job. We got one more week to go, finally. Well on Friday we had our presentation that was not correctly done, our video was very good, but just the way we was acting when the video was playing, not as perfect. We took our first big lost and we came in 3rd place, that was so hard for me to hear, and one of our teammates Maurita tried to save our presentation like 4 different times. But we wasn't as prepared because some people didn't come, there was only like 7 of us, and our presentation wasn't good, it was very confusing, and when it was questioning time we didn't answer that last one, we was all fckd up. It's all good though, we can all learn from our mistakes. We are still a good team Newseum.

My weekend

On Saturday I went to travel class and I learned how to set up a travel blog which was cool. I also read my essay out loud to the class and my teacher Danya and everyone else liked the humor in my story. After class I did some prep work work for school. After that I went home because we were going to Mt Vernon for a barbeque which was cool. At the barbeque I had fish cake, rice n peas, mac n cheese, souse, chicken and lots of soda. They had lots of music which was cool and I have to say that I had a great weekend.

hello

so we lost b/c they said that we were not functioning as a team. I'll be first to tell ya I was so fusturated and disappointed at how we lost that I cried while on the way to the Bronx to church. I could understand losing for a reason like missing things in the presentation but losin because lack of teamwork that was not cool i got travel class so i gtg. we better step up to da plate includin myself.
