San Diego is in a few days and I made a point to check the weather. I have decided that I am awful when it comes to packing (likely the case because I pack clothing based on how I want the weather wherever my destination is not what it is actually feels like.) I am not sure […]
Month: November 2010
North Jersey
I watched the movie Big Fan (2009) on Netflix “Watch It Now.” I rarely use this offer from Netflix, since I have to watch the movie on my computer, which is in my studio work space, the man cave, and the old rustic wood floor is a tad slanted, so my wheeled desk chair sometimes […]
Two years till turmoil…or, remember when…
One of my classes this semester is Introduction to Music Education. It is the first course that launches me into my declared major field of study (Music Education). The class requires twenty hours of music class observations of grades K through 12. I must observe a variety of course settings such as general music, band, […]

A Week with Me:
Well school is school. Each week for the last the 3 weeks, I had two tests. All in all it was fun studying and getting with classmates to get ready for the tests. I thought you fellow readers that you might want to have a taste of my work experiences each wee so here are […]
When in Queens…or anywhere else in New York
It just seems as though that my loneliness is kicking in, all over again. Queens (actually, New York, in general) is like a place where you’re constantly surrounded by countless people, but it’s as if you’re total strangers (because you are). Everyone just seems to pass you by, and it feels as if you’re non-existent. […]
Registration Ahead
Registration. It’s the hot topic that everyone’s been talking about for a while now. What professors to take? What classes to look into? What schedule to build? These questions have been driving a lot of people insane. When I first started to settle in at Queens as a first semester freshman, I figured I would […]
What Happened to the Bell of the Clock Tower?
How long is it going to take before they fix the famous clock tower? Is it just me or does anyone else miss the bell of the clock tower going off every hour? The September 16th tornado was unbelievably destructive but especially to the beautiful Queens College campus. The trees on the quad that were […]
Tough Love
Tough love is an issue that is in my opinion very subjective. Everybody has their own opinions on what tough love is and is not. I decided to write about tough love this week while sitting in my psychology class. In class we were reviewing the the three main types of parenting; authoritarian, authoritative and […]
Enthusiasm
The word “Enthusiasm” has taken quite a shape over the years. By today’s standards it simply means to be excited or passionate about. But in Greek times when the word was “En Thios”, it meant to be inspired by the god within. One thing that I’m really enthusiastic (both definitions) about, would be if religions […]
