Recap!

So the Summer Semester is almost over. 3 more classes left next week and that is it. This Semester has done by fast and I loved it. Up until last Monday I had an A. I don't see how that still isn't happening. Had another exam this past week and will get it back on Monday. I'm not too worried. I kind of like this fast paced class but I know if it was a harder subject, this would be a whole other conversation.

I start looking for another car again on the 10th. Grandma is taking me and has given me a bigger budget. Got to love my grandma. She said my dad doesn't need to know anything about it. Tehehe.

Paula Deen Scandal

Ok! So I figured that I would make a blog about this instead of posting it on Facebook because it seems that my post about the subject are offending people. I really don't care about that part, I just want to limit the drama on my page.

Anyways...

This whole thing is down right stupid. Why are you going to brin up someone's issues that happen 30 years ago! Like really? Come on! And I wasn't like she said it just to say it. She was being robbed, someone, a black gentleman, has a gun to her head. If I was in that situation I would of called him a  nigger too. It's a stupid point to make and this person who is doing this to her is only doing this to bring in the money and to make her life a living hell.

No matter how much I hate someone or how much someone has pissed me off, no way in hell would I ever do something like this to them. She has lost EVERYTHING!! She lost her show, her food deals, and many other things all because of something that happened years ago. 

Why don't you go to some of the older actresses and actors who grew up in her time and ask them if they ever used the world nigger. I'm sure they have yet no one seems to care about them. I'm curious to know what race the guy who has brought all of this to light is? 

I stand behind her 100% 

Aaron Hernandez Charged With 1st Degree Murder

Former New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez has been charged with murder, a judge announced on Wednesday.

From the Massachusetts State Police on Twitter: "Hernandez charged with Murder, Unlawful possession of a firearm, Possession of a large capacity firearm. Invest ongoing. No further updates."

"DA says Lloyd was shot multiple times, in groin, arm, side, chest and back. DA says appears semi automatic weapon used. DA says Hernandez and Lloyd spoke in hours before murder. DA: key found in victims pocket was to a car rented by Hernandez. DA: Aaron Hernandez home has 14 cameras. Footage missing from hours after murder #7news."

"DA: shell casings recovered from scene at Lloyd's feet. Lloyd shot and killed in industrial park"

The district attorney also shared final text messages from Lloyd to a family member: "Did you see who I'm with?" ... "NFL" ... "Just so you know"

The district attorney also said in court that Hernandez was seen on home surveillance carrying a gun in hand.

More details from the Boston Globe's Wesley Lowery: "Prosecutor: #Hernandez mad that Lloyd talked to people he didn't like on previous Friday night at Club Rumor."

Prosecutor also tells the court that shell casings were found in a rental car when Aaron Hernandez returned it, according to Ted Daniel of FOX 25.

Hours before homicide, defendant was seen holding firearm and saying you "can't trust anyone anymore."
The prosecution asks for no bail.

Defense attorney calls the evidence circumstantial and "not strong." "This defendant stands before the court without any record," according to the defense attorney, who als said he has not been accused of any violent crime previously.

Defense attorney says Hernandez is not a flight risk and would GPS monitoring and appropriate cash bail so he can be returned to the community.

The judge has ruled Aaron Hernandez will be held without bail.

The defense attorney wants a gag order in the case. "What we would ask is a simple order from this court to note that anyone involved in this case ... both from defense and prosecution side from releasing any comment or commenting on this case so as to not prejudice this defendant's rights."

Prosecutor: "We want to try this case in the court room, not in the media."

Attorneys and district attorney have both asked for the arrest affidavit to be sealed, and that request has been granted by the judge.

Next date in court for Aaron Hernandez will be July 24.

New Opportunities

So today I got to do something I've never done before, and walking around UC Berkeley does not count because its never really on campus. I got to talk to transfer advisors and admissions advisors at UC Merced. I was kind of skeptical at first because I have always had my heart sent on going to CAL, but after today, my eyes were opened to something amazing. Merced has a beautiful campus and it had many things I am passionate about. A lot of people many not know this about me, but I am an energy conservationist. If the lights don't have to be on, leave them off. I am always going around and turning shit off that doesn't need to be on. Merced is on track to be the first college that solely relies on Solar Energy. If that's not cool, I don't know what is. 

Finally getting to sit down with someone and really hash out what I have left to take to get there and then what needs to be done when I do, it was a big relief of stress. I'm so happy I have found 2 people who are willing to work with me and really push me to do this. Albert Martins and Marsha Bond-Nelson have been life savors. I cannot wait to take this journey with their help and support. They offered their emails 24/7 with any questions and are keeping track of my progress online and said whenever I want to meet and just sit down to see were thing are at to just give a shout out and they will be there.

Maybe this has been was has been planned for me all along. Maybe this was why I was meant to move down here and love here. It's all for what's right for me, and I think I found it... At UC Merced! Go Bobcats... Even though I will always be a Bear at heart!
