Fuck that Exam and the Anaheim Angels!!

Today was the day that I had to take my damn French Placement exam.

To be honest, that shit was whack.

So much crazy shit that I was literally lost and for a moment I thought I was taking a japanese exam.

Ima need a miracle to place into my class so make sure you all pray like a bajillion times for me to get the score I need or else ima be fucked!

I feel like I wasted my whole morning/ lunch time because of this exam.

And because of that, I feel exhausted. I need a serious nap but I can't because I have to go to work in like 40 mins.

But before I go, I just want to say fuck the Angels and their attempt at getting Scott Kazmir.

The Next 2

Today I had my 3 and 4 classes which consist of Real Estate Financing and Management of a Small Business

My Real Estate class seems ok but I was fighting to stay awake which usually means I will be sleeping in that class in the future. Haha o well but the good thing about it is that the professor puts up all her notes online which makes things easier for me!!

It seems like its going to be a challenging class but at least there is no final.

In my Entrepreneurship class, the professor seemed super badass. He is chill and understands us. The best part of it all, there is no mid term and no final!!!! Fuck yeah!! I'm beyond stoked for that!!

Tomorrow I have my last class which is a three hour long Law class =[ epic I know.

The Dodgers just tied the game against the Rockies in the top of the 9th! Thank you Manny Ramirez!

Any who, I received bad news today in my French class when my professor told me my placement exam has expired which means I have to take another one which is not good!

I haven't studied French in 3 years and now I have until Friday 1pm to master French,

I'm fucked!

I seriously need to pull something off in order to pass this shit.

I'll guess we'll see what happens.

One last thing, Like I said in the beginning of the season, the angels signing Bobby Abreu for $5 Million was a steal!

First day....

Today was the first day of my last semester at USC

It was an interesting day to say the least.

In my French class, my professor starts to trip me out when she tells me that my placement exam might have expired and I might need to take a new one...

Thats not good news to me folks.... I mean yeah I could test real good and opt of taking my French class but I haven't take French in 3 years which means that I could possibly place lower which would become a serious problem because I need this class to graduate this semester!!!! =[

Man that ticked me off but hopefully my shit is still valid. I just have to wait it out and hope I can remember all my French again.

My second class was my entrepreneurship one that I tried very hard to get into. It was an interesting class with an interesting professor to say the least. I like the fact that he is straight out blunt which in reality will help out in the real world.

We shall see what happens.

I got 3 more classes tomorrow so we'll see what goes down.

I still get kicks out of the intimidation the professors try to impose on their students the first week of school.

Lol oh well.

Good Citizen of the Month

Ok this one is going to require you to go back to the golden years and think about your elementary years and perhaps your middle school years if your school was lame.

Any ways, today as I was driving when all of a sudden I saw this car with a sticker on it saying my child is the good citizen of month at blank school. I started thinking......what the fuck is the point of that award? I mean yes a school is promoting children to be good individuals/responsible but seriously, is the award necessary?

I mean I'm sure your thinking, gee Sawyer I bet you never got one of those awards but the reality of the fact is that I did receive that shit- multiple times to be exact, I don't really know why because as far as I know teachers hated the fact that my ADD was a distraction to all.

Now that I'm older and more wiser- I really don't see the point in handing out that award. I mean who really gives a shit if you got that award. It proves the point that the teacher liked you best either for being the smartest kid in the class or you were merely a teacher's pet.

What's even more sad than getting the award is having your parents actually place that shit on their car! I mean think about it....your parents are promoting that their child is a little teachers pet and wasn't good enough to get any other award besides the most pointless one available.

I am extremely grateful my parents never put that shit on their car or else who knows what my life would have end up like.

The moral of the story is this: schools please stop giving those pointless awards out and parents really need to set higher expectations for their children if they are going to be satisfied with a "Good Citizen of the month award"


(If you can find me a picture of one of those bumper stickers, let me know so I can put it up)

That is all for now.

Arizona Flavored Teas

Do you remember when you first had your first Arizona flavor tea? Now if you have no clue of what I'm talking about or merely have never bothered to get one before, I want you to slap yourself, stop reading this and the get the fuck off the chair and go buy one!!

Back to my point. I remember my first time buying my drink: I was walking with my good friends Pishoy "the Oil eater" Haroun and Matt Longo from Griffiths Middle school and we stopped at the dairy market/ liquor store on the corner of Florence and Tweety ( I think) Any ways, we were going to get our typical drinks at the time which usually were some brand of soda but on that particular day, the asian lady when up to us and was like (In a Miss. Swan voice) "Oh hi, try dis new drink....isha good for you, oh yes. go buy buy."

So we all looked at each other with an are you effin serious expression but after thinking it over and realizing we each only had like 2 bucks on us each, we were sold by the asian lady's pitch and we each bought one. I remember buying a kiwi strawberry one and from the moment I tasted the first drop, I felt an instant orgasmic sensation run throughout my body! I couldn't believe how good this drink was- it was far better than any other soda and the best thing was that it was only 99 cents!!!


It was such an amazing drink for such an amazing price. Since that day, I knew that if I were ever thirsty and was running low on the funds, I could depend on an Arizona Flavored Tea to save the day!

So get off your ass and go buy one and while your at it, get me one too please. Thanks

P.S. I think Pishoy was looking for an Oil Flavored Arizona Tea that day....LMAO

Reading Books........The real truth about it....


So before you ask yourself.....does Sawyer really know how to read...sit back and enjoy the post.

Growing up I hated reading. It was time consuming and english was secondary to me.

I never like the fact that there were hardly any pictures in the books and I hate the fact that sometimes you would have to read books that smell like shit....you know what I mean..think back when you were in elementary school and you had to do a book report; 7/10 of the books given to you by the teacher smelled which only made that much more worse to read.

Nonetheless, I would do everything possible/imaginable to make sure I could avoid having to read anything which meant having others do my work for me or completely lie to the teacher and convince I already turned in the report and that she misplaced. Unfortunately sometimes it would work and sometimes it wouldn't.

The ironic part of everything was that throughout my childhood, I had the whole collection of Goosebumps books!! I maybe only read like 4 out of the 50 books my parents bought me but I made sure those were the best of the group haha.

Regardless, that was my life growing up as a kid...I emphasize as a kid because one I got older I realized that reading isn't that bad and there are actually good shit out there in the world that are good reads.

I'm still picky as to what I'm going to read; It either has to have pictures (lmao yes I know not many adult books have pictures) or be really interesting/recommended to me! I literally never read anything that is school related. You can ask anyone who knows me, I don't read my school books because I see it as pointless as long as I some how get the notes.

So as time as passed and I have gotten older, I am reading more and more. I even started reading illustrated books...yes some might be consider comics....but they were made on a hardcover which makes them books!!! So no hating!

Any who, I really recommend you read "Mad Love" by Paul Dini and Bruce Timm. Its a Batman book focused on the animated series of the 90's which therefore means it's good! The book is filled with short stories and sort of focuses on the madness that occurs with certain characters such as Harley Quinn, The Joker, Batman, Poison Ivy, Bat Girl, etc


Well I've been blabbing for a long time now so Ima wrap it up.... the moral of the story is this: don't read shitty books and avoid the smelly ones. If your bored out of your mind, make sure you look for the books that are recommended by friends and of course by me because I promise I will not let you down...more than once =P

Adios
