http://nicoletaltsblog.blogspot.com/2006/10/i-talked-to-my-brother-today-and-it.html
since i have been blogging these are the five blogs that i want to reflect on. in blog 1. it shows that my old favorite t.v show greys atamony is not that important to me. since being in school i havent really focused on watching t.v but hanging out with friends and doing my work. in blog 2) i fould it hard having 3 tests in the same day and was nervous for my pysch test.. i mangaed and learned how to multi-task for a majority of my classes. 3. i should of tried harder and not of dropped french so fast. i could of easily past and i could of added 3 extra credits to my transcript. 4. me and my roomate have been getting along better, which is good... she stopped doing most of the things she used to and she calmed down. and i am very proud of her! in blog 5 it shows that i was homesick and wasnt very close with my younger brother. i have been getting use to being so far away from home, which is good! i also became closer to my brother while i was home during thanksgiving break.... its been fun blogging... Nicole~

there is a very funny t.v show on oxygen, its called talk sex with sue. its on sunday at 11 pm. the reason why i feel like its so funny because an eighty year old women gives sex advice . it is supposingly a live show. and callers call in their relationship issues or askes questions on anything they want to know, and sue( who is older than my grandma) listens on the other end and gives the person advice on their problems and gives them examples of certan situtations. me and my friends find the show funny!

i havent drank alcohol in almost a month... i am not going to lie i was drinking a little to much here, but i decided to calm down. i can still be around my friends when they are drinking, i am not going to lie it is boring but i feel more energenic lately. i been going to all my classes , sleeping early, getting better grades, and i am not as tired through out the day.. im not saying i will never have another drink again, but for now i calmed down. and hopefully when i start drinking it will be more socially then wanting to get wasted.. i have to say i am very proud of myself

cigarettes are soo addicting! i have been a full time smoker ever since i was 15 years old. before that i was an occasional smoker and started at an early age of 11.. its even harder to quit because mostly everyone at school smokes and my whole famly smokes. my mom found out i started smoking when i was 16.. she didnt like the idea very much but she knew by lecturing me like her mother did would just fly over my head and that i wouldnt listen. luckily in fl. the cigarettes are much cheaper than compared to buying them in ny.. im tryng to cut down, but its soo difficult.. i am aware some people think smoking is nasty, but its something i been doing for almost 6 years.. my mom wants me to cut down, especially because now she got sick for it.. and has to go through a lot of things!.. this is my warning sign that i need to quit!

tomorrow i am going to try and hit up the beach! i havent been there in soo long and its only less than 5 minutes away.... i need a tannn, i am also going to hit up the mall and buy a few things i need.hopefully tomorrow is nice because today the weather is crappy and its raining.. then tomorrow night its studying time.. i really need to study especially for one of my criminal justice classes. this sunday me and my friends are having a study group to go over things we need to know and expect for our final... final tmes sucks!.....

i have recently been obessed with the showtime series Weeds.. too me its like desperate house wives with a twist. its very entertaing and very funny. its about a widowed mother of 2 who doesnt know how to make her payments( house, car, and bills), so she decides to become a drug dealer. she deals to most of her communtiy like the mayor and other parents and knows and stays away from sellng it to kids.. she goes through multple situations like being shot at, running n with other dealers n her territory, and the knowledge of her kids knowing. she also has relatonship problems bc the guy she seems to fall for is an officer in the drug field!

tonights friday!!!!!!!!!!!! and i am going to crobar n miami... its nice to get out of boca raton once and awhle since there isnt a lot to really do.... miami has a really good nightlife and everyone in southern florida likes to go there and party... crobar is also in new york and is crazy.. they play a lot of techno and house music that i like to listen too. i am a huge jonathan peters fan and i love his remixes to all different songs lke whitney houston, mariah carey, deborah cox, and smaller bands people havent even of heard of before. J.P does many parties that usually could last for 12 hrs... of all his mixes and other records.

so since last night was my friends b-day we went to hooters.. in pompano, fl.. it was my first time ever going there and was pretty funny.. we told the waitress it was my friends melissas bday and they had somethng planned for her. so after she ate dinner, they made her stand on a chair and flap her arms like wings while holding menus... while she was doing that they sang her a bday song.. it was soo funny and my friend was extremely embarresed.. we even got it on video.. it was a funn night!

today is lynns snow day... yay! snow in florida that is so exciting, it reminds me of home since i live in ny! since i am going to dinner, after when we come back me and my friends are going to play in the snow and possibly have a snow ball fight! its nice that even though we live in warm climate and weather that we can particapate in an event like this..

so since today is my friends birthday, i had no clue what to buy her.. everyone already had presents for her and i felt stupid for not having any. last night i was on ticketmaster looking for some football tickets for another friend and i saw there was wrestling tickets being sold.. my freind melissa is a big wrestling fan and has never been to an event.... i thought it would be awesome to purchase her some tickets.. so this morning i purchased them, and gave it to her and she was soo excited!

tonight was nice becasue i went to dinner with all my friends.... usually because we are all busy we usually slipt up and go in groups it was nice that all 8 of us were able to go together for once becasue its been a while... tomorrow we all are going out again for my friends meliissa's b-day... its nice to get off campus and spend time with your good friends... it keeps my mind of work, studying and exams which is really good because i need a break!

so when i go home next week everyone is going to make fun of me that i live in Florida and im not even tanned... i been so busy that i havent really had a lot of time to sit by the beach or the pool.. when i first got here i was always at the beach and tanner than i am now... hopefully this weekend b4 i leave its nice so i can gets some color before i go home.. if not ill probably be working at the tanning salon once in a while that i can just get some color there and when i come back i will be tanner!

even though this semester i had been sick and missed a few days of class, i am really hoping on doing good. i wanna to recieve a GPA of 3.0 or above and i have been trying really hard.. i was also thinking of going into honors because i feel it would help me get into a good law school after i graduated and would look good on my dipolma.. this week i am going to talk with my advisor and ask the requirments and how you can get into the program

while i am home for break, i might work a little at the tanning salon back at home i used to work at.. even though i have soo much to already do.. i been working there for a while and im really good friends with my co-workers and the customers. the working evirnomnet is really friendly.. im not going to work crazy hrs but maybe ill work 4 hours every few days to make a little more xmas gift cash.. because i dont wanna buy my parents presents with their own money!

so since x-mas is coming i still can not think of what i want to get my parents and my brother.. my mom has been asking me for weeks what i would like but i dont know yet.. its harder to buy them presents because they might already have it or might not like it.. this year for xmas i wanna do something special and different.. i usually always buy my mom jewerly and my father something he could use or work on if he gets bored. my brother i usually buy him a game for playstation or x- box.. maybe this year ill get my brother another game, but maybe ill take my parents to a nice resturant in nyc... i have till next week... besides that im clueless

while i am home for xmas i wanna get some things accomplished and down before i come back. one of the things are that i want to get my hairdone. i dont know what i want to do to my hair but i want it to be different.. i also wanna go shopping and get clothes and some things for next semester.. i also wanna spend some time with my friends that i havent seen in a while becasue they were away at school.

since i been extremely behind on my blogs, i got bored during pysch class and wrote down topics that i could talk about.. it is soo much easier.. sometimes i get writers block and can not think of things to write or say.. since i have only 3 days left to finish them and have like 20 blogs to go... i deff. found it much easier... it took me awhile to get use to the blogging because everyone can read what you write and somethings are sort of personal...

since i hate flying alone, i was soo scared that i was going to have to for x-mas break... i get a lil nervous.. today i found out that one of my friends are on my flight and i was soo happy.. i never flew alone before i also flew with people.... so now i am not that nervous to go home next thursday.. i am soo happy! i cant wait to go home.. im excited i like school, but i miss home.. i think its probably because its my first year being away.. it will take time to get use to, but there is no place like home

today i had a guest lecture in crj 201. he was from the juvenile department in miami... i was very interested because he talked about the boot camp situation and what it is like to work in the department. he says the most important thing to do is have people skills. he said a lot of people who dont have peoples skill find it very hard in that field and tend not to do well. especially when you are working with juveniles a person should be social because the teen age years are very senstitive to some people... since i am a criminal justice major i was thinking and deciding to go into the juvenile field and try to make a difference

my schedule for this week is so crazy.. on top of class i have to study, do projects, essays, and final papers.. all through this semester my schedule has been flexible and i never really had projects due all in the same week. next week i have a crj 201 final monday, crj 101 wednesday, pysh 150 wednedsday and my final for english is due tuesday. thats 3 days fulled with all work! all this work can give a person stress... what i am going to do from now till then ill take an hr each subject to study and im not going to try to worry about it that much so im not nervous when i take my test

for my final paper, i decided to write about the boot camp tradegy that happened last jan. in bay county florida. a fourteen year old boy was beaten to death at the boot camp and didnt recieve the proper medical treatment. boot camps have been a controversial issuse for a long time.. i personaly am not in favor of them. i feel like they put juveniles throught the same training that people above the age requirment have to sign up for. since this tradegy boot camps have been shut down and are not used anymore, its unfortunate it took a 14 yrs old life to realize it

besides the friends at the mall, i was so excited to see my friends from home. my friend lauren and her boyfriend picked me up at the airport.. i was soo excited to see them.. me and lauren have been really good friends ever since frshman year of h.s.. what i have notice, once you met really good friends. its hard to met people like them especially when you been through soo much things with them. i ended up staying at her house for a few days before i went home... i cant wait to hang out with them and my other friends when i come back for winter break

while i was home for break, i went shopping on black friday.. usually the mall opens at 5 am.. i didnt get there intil 12 pm because my mother and i over slept! when we got to the mall it was packed, and the sales werent even that good.. i did end up buying a lot of things and my mother did some of her christmas shopping. we also went with my mothers two older aunts. we were probably also there for a while because they cant keep up as quickly... after shopping with got a bite to eat in the resturant in the mall... i was excited that day because i ended up bumping into a lot of my friends that i havent seen in months!

this past saturday, i went on a ride a long that was extra credit for criminal justice. i deff. could use the extra credit but i also thought it would be fun to ride in a car with a cop for 3+ hrs. during my ride along the cop explained to me his certain duties and what the department and the people of the community expect of him. he also drove me around boyton( which is where it took place).. since it was on a saturday mid- night there wasnt a lot of action going on... but other cars dealt with suicides, robbery, and accidents. i only stayed for 3 hrs but he told me the busiset nights or tuesday or wednedsay after 6.. thats when they get a lot of action.. even though there wasnt much going on i still had a lot of fun

since i was sick a week before break, mostly when i was home i had doctors appointment. it sucks getting sick, but it seems like everything is going around... i had the flu!... when i went to the doctors he gave me a flu shot so i wouldnt get as sick as much, that would be good especially since finals are next week.. i need to catch up on some work and i need to study... so hopefully by this time and next week ill be perfectly healthy! im a little nervous because a few of my friends now have strep throat... so hopfully i dont catch it

soo i went home for thanksgiving.. i was soo happy! i needed a break from school, especially since i havent been home since august. it was also good sleeping in my bed back at home becasue these beds are sooo small. i ended up going home for 8 days but i needed it. between school work and some drama between friends i needed a break. of course there is going to be drama especially when you hang out with a lot of girls!. luckily, when i came back everything( well mostly) calmed down and we seem closer than before....

the alcohol awarness speaker tuesday explained what happens when you drink and drive. he was very unfortunate and ended up killing his 3 best freinds and the one who did survive never spoke with him again. it is very scary because even back at home in high school there were alot of drinkiing problems that led to someones death. it was a very sad story and you could see when he showed the video he had to leave because he couldnt watch it. he did suffer time in jail but the worst part of his senetincing was living with the death of his 3 friends which is the worst punishment i think.

i have recently had my hair done and it was about time. i needed a haircut really bad and my roots from my highlights were showing and it didnt look very nice. i just added more high lights and lo lights to even out the color which i already had. then we cut my hair in layers to give it depth and volume. its a little but shorter which i wasnt very happy about but alot of people tell me it looks a lot better than it did.

so midterm grades are due today at 4 pm. i know i did well in all my classes. the lowest grade i have recieved so far was the C- chris gave me on my essay. i thought i did better than what i did, i tried really hard. usually i am very good with writing essays but that one was very confusing and a little bit tricky for me to understand, even though it was explained over and over in class. i came to class late because i dropped my previous english class because it was tooo early in the morning! so everyone who was there before me probably understood a little but better than i did.

i decided for my new essay coming up to write about what i want to pursue later on in life. my major right now is criminal justice and i am interested in becoming a criminal profiler or working with the FBI. mindhunters was a great movie and very suspenseful. its something i can see myself not getting bored with and enjoying my job. even though the movie was a little harsh and there are a lot fo consequences dealing with working for the FBI its something that i am very interested in. so when i explain my essay i will show my class the requiremnts training and knowledge that is all involved.

so i havent seen my grandma the day before i left and i miss her. i use to hang out with my grandma all the time and go shopping, to the movies, dinner. she cant come this weekend to visit me because she i sbusy with a lot of things and doesnt have the time right now. but when i go back in a few weeks for the weekend i probably stay a day at her house so me and her can catch up on things that happened since i left.my friends love coming with me to my grandmas because our conversations are soo funny because half the time we are talking my grandma has no clue what we are saying, i cant wait til vacation till i can visit her.

so i am kind of getting annoyed with my computer.... its always broken.... i just got it fixed before i came here and now its acting weird by not turning on anymore. it might be because i keep it on the charger all the time and never shut it off but still alot of people i knew leave it on and it never gives them problem i am just going to have to probably get a new one... then im on blogger today and its sooo slow and not working properly..... and i still have a lot i mean a lot of blogs to catch up on, but its my fault for waiting last minute i just been really busy with a lot of things....

a little after i came her i got sick with brohnchitis. i went to the nusre and took medicine and i was okay intil last week. i went back to the nurse and she told me i had a relaps of the brohnchitis and put me on more medicine. so basically i have been sick almost all semester, which sucks. i decided not to go out this week so i can catch up on rest and study for my tests today and so i can feel better becasue my mom and aunt come down tomorrow.

soo today i decided to drop or withdrawl from french. i thought it wasnt going to be as hard as it was. i know italian so i thought it would be similar and believe me its not.. i found it soo hard to pick up. reading and speaking are soo completly different when comparing a language but i found that i couldnt do either. i might take it again but when my schedule gets a little easier and i take less difficult classes. i fist wanted to take french when i was in switzerland bc when i was there everyone around me was speaking french and i had no clue what it meant.. being there for a few weeks i did learn some words because i was around it all the time.

i need a new scene out. its the usually 99 tuesdays and thursdays , or murphys, and crabby jacks friday then everyone usually goes to miami or south beach for the weekend. i went to china white last saturday with a few friends and it was okayy. it was really small.... the dance floor was the size of 99's bar, and one of the bartenders was being a little rude because she said noone has been tiping her. there really wasnt a lot of people there, but since it was small it was a little crowded.. at least this club closed at 4 am. alot of the clubs in boca close at 2am. back at home in ny they usually close at 4 or 5. sometimes when there is an event like a johntathan peters night( j.p is a well known dj in ny for mixing songs like deborah cox, whitney houston, and a few techno artists) the clubs open from 10 at night till 10 am. on the weekdays i could understand to close at 2 am but not at 2 am on the weekends..,

last thursday night we attempted to go to a new place called blue coyote since we didnt feel like going to 99 again. they were having a college special 5 dollars at the door and buy one get one free drinks all night. we took a cab there and when we got there we noticed the parking lot wasnt full. we didnt get there to 11.30. which was weird because thats when people start going out around here because everything closes at 2 am. when we talked to the owner he said there was only 6 people inside and we thought it was sad so we unfortunalty decided to go again to 99. since i have been there a few times i thought it was getting played out. its usually okay but that night i thought it was bad too, soo i ended up leaving early that night anyway.

after all my problems i been having with my roomate and midterms i talked to one of my bestfriends from home today. her name is lauren. lauren and i been really good friends since we been freshman in high school which was maybe 6 years ago. she still lives at home and goes to a community college near her house. she will come out and visit soon but she has midterms coming up soon as well. she threw me a surprise party before i left to come to lynn with my other friends and a few family members. she was talking me threw my problems with my roomate and gave me a new approach about it and how i should deal with it. lauren also knows my roomate because the three of us were all friends at one point. lauren can understand what i am going through but she made me feel a little bit better about the situation.

i talked to my brother today, and it made me a little homesick. we were never really really close but we were always there for each other. he is a little younger than me and we do fight but its never really serious. he told me things have changed since i been gone. he told me my mom re-decorated the house and re-furnished the rooms. he told me he joined his high school wrestling team and he goes to practice. he also told me he broke up with his girlfriend from almost a year, and he didnt even sound upset. we dont really talk much because we both are on different schedules: he has his band, practice and friends, and i have a lot of school work,friends, and things of my own to do ( especially these blogs!)~lol

i have known my roomate since seventh grade. we use to be really good friends. up till now she has changed a lot and i dont know when to believe her or not.. she is never here in the room but when she is all we do is agrue. in the past few couple of days its gotten worse and neither of us can deal with the situation. people before i came here always told me "friendship changes when you live with a person" i never thought that was true until now. i am a little upset we grew apart but maybe its tempoary. we both have our own friends now and we will probably will work it out in the end... right now its probably best for us to stay apart...

i am very close with my mom and my aunt. i always go to one of them when i am facing a problem. my aunt and i are close in age thats why i think we get along so well. they are finally coming this weekend to come and see me since i have been unable to go back home these past few weeks. they arrive in saturday and they are only staying til tuesday. it is a short amount of time but its better than them not coming at all. i have a lot of plans for us already. i told my mom that we were going to go to a comedy club with my friends after dinner and then maybe hit up a hooka bar., the hooka bar will probably be really funny because my mom has never done it before and told me she would try it, but probably has noo clue what it is (lol) i am very anxious to their arrival and i cant wait for them to come... i miss them a lot

my favorite t.v show is grey atanomy. i use to religous watch it at home. ever since i been at school i have missed every, every single eposode so far. i have a t.v in my room but i dont have a cable cord, and even if i did have one i would have no clue what to do with it. i been so busy with school work and everything that even if my t.v worked i probably still wouldnt have time to watch it.. its hard ..i caNt even have someone tape it unless its a dvd because now~a days noone uses vcr's anymore.. sad to say...... im going to have to caTch up with what is going on..

so last week i had three test. two were in criminal justice and one was in psych. my psych test was 10 chapeters long, and it was really hard to study for and pay attention to because of all the boring and dull vocabulary words. i was soo nervous i was going to fail all my test because they were all the first test in each class and they were the same day. it was soo hard to study for and im not going to lie i save all my studying time to the last minute. i know i need to budget my time and especially fit in my school work so i do well this year. so backk to my test... the first one was at 10 am which is really really early to me. i took the test and it was fine i knew i got a good grade, which later on i got it back and i got an A. then my next test was at 2pm which i thought a did okay on but not great. when i got my grade back i saw i got a B. A B is okay not awesome but good especially since i had 3 test!!!!!!!! then 3 pm came and it was time for my psych test. i took the test and knew i failed.... it was soo hard especially because there was so many chapters. i got it back a few days ago and saw i recieved an A. ( there was a BIG curve on the test so i really probably got a C)...... so after all i didnt have anything to stress out about, everything worked out fine.
