Planning Things Out

This semester I am going to be a busy beaver... I am a Firefighter/ Paramedic major and I have a lot of things planned out. I am currently in rolled at HFCC in four classes: Pharmacology, English 131, Weight Training, and Bio 131. I'm pretty familiar with the medical field for I have taken a Medical terminology class and passed. I'm aware of what that class will be about and I can tell you off the bat I am very intrigued by it. I'm not much of a writer so I am dreading going to my english class, that for sure. The only study planI have for the moment is to finish all of my Bio and Eng 131 assignments as fast as possible to get it over with in the begining of the week so I could focus the majority of my time reading up on my medical class and just try to balance my time out.

I am currently working as a sub-para pro for schools in dearborn until I get my Medic licence. I have been working on my degree for the past two years and I sometimes wonder if it is ever going to stop. I sometimes feel like I am stuck at a dead end but I know it will all pay off at the end. I try my best to study as much as possible but it always feels like it is never enough. I am the type of person that needs to know the text book inside and out and I expect my test to be perfect. So when I don't do as good as I planned I tend to beat myself up and doutb myself.

Respect Blog

I treat people with the same respect they give me. I am usually a nice guy unless a person crosses that line. An example of that is, once my girlfriend and i went out to dinner and some older man kept staring at her and looking at me with a dirty face. Me, being the nice guy i am, walked up to the guy to confront him. Unfortunately he wasn't man enough to fight me alone so he got in my face with both of his buddies.Luckily, no fight was started.
I'm not one to start trouble but i am known to stand up for myself when i am being disrespected. There is no reason to make someone feel uncomfortable when a person is trying to have a good time or just minding their own business in class. Even though some people think staring at people or talking to their friends being their back it really is. There is no need to put your hands or your nose into someone else's business. People just do not have common decency. Once someone disrespects another on a deep enough level they might turn away from you forever. It is hard to forgive a person once they have been disrespected because disrespect does lead to hurt.
A person must also respect objects especially if they do not belong to them. For example, the computers in school should be respected because the staff and college are curtious enough to let the students use their tools for education. If somebody is being polite to you it should be human nature to respond in the same manner. Respect is what keeps the world in order. Without it things would be broken and people would behave in chaos.

Jumping The Gun

I'm as happy as everyone else that President Bush is out of power and out of the White House but people are carrying this Obama thing a little far, don't you think? I'm not downing the man but people are actually getting tattoos of him and he hasn't done anything amazing in office yet. They throw a giant party for the guy like he saved the world or something. What's the big Deal? He's just another president that so far hasn't proven anything yet. People are going a little over board with this. His term just started, we still don't know what to expect. Our country has been going down hill thanks to Bush and I hope we get to see what Obama means by "Change". Lets see if this guy could live up to his own hype because he has some pretty big shoes to fill. I'm just saying i hope people don't have to regret the tattoo they got because he decided to post a draft or we lose even more money. Sure he promises us a better life but we've heard that plenty of times; that doesn't mean that the man will follow through.

Like I said I'm not trying to down him but don't get your hopes up America and making something bigger then what it really is. He hasn't even started his term to determine if he's a good President. Like he said "It's time for a Change" so let's give him a shot.

My name is Nelson Estrada; I am currently a student at HFCC. I am a Firefighter/ Medic major. I am a normal kid by day and at night I am a super hero lol jk. Lately I have been stressed out with the classes I currently have. College takes a toll on people because it is a very stressful environment. This semester I am enrolled in Bio with lab, Pharmacology, Weight Training and English and I also am working part-time...talk about a work over load! The economy in Michigan is obviously doing very bad and I am currently looking for a more stable job. For years I have dreamed about getting a gun but unfortunately I am unable to because I live with my girlfriend and her family and they do not allow me to get one. In my spare time I enjoy going to the range, weight training, and playing video games. My favorite super hero is Spiderman although when I was a child my favorite was Superman. I own a lot of Spiderman memorabilia and clothing (thanks to my girlfriend). I have the best girlfriend in the world but I get her so stressed out that she is taking classes to control her anger. This is the first time I do this blogging thing and it seems pretty useless. It's doesn't make sense how people want to throw there emotions out in the open for people to read and make fun of them. Bad things happen in life, that doesn't mean I should post it on the internet to"vent". I like having privacy, I think people relay too much on a screen with a keyboard. I'm sick of winy little emo kids crying on the radio about how they hate america and their parents. If they want they can move to another country where they don't have an opinion. I'm sick of people downing where they live. No matter who our leader is we should support him. You are not suppose to turn your back on your country and make the best out of it. In the WW2 era people fought with honor and pride and look at what people have become. Sad and over dramatic, we are the super power of the world and I'm not ready to give that title up.
