It’s the half way mark and my motivation is basically gone. It’s the same thing ever term, for school. I’m appalled to check my grades to see where I’m stand in my classes. For my personal life its quite strong, I recently got a job and I’m looking forward to that. So maybe that will motivate me to put more effort in school. When I applied I thought it was going to be a thwart in getting some course work done but the schedule I have is quite good, so it shouldn’t really be a distraction. The amount of course work that is overdue is quite an enigma. Since its online and I never pay attention when they say how to check. I think a reality check would defiantly be a huge dynamic to my motivation to try in my course work. Honestly that they only way that I ever get serious when it comes to school.

It way under 250 words and I feel like I’m repeating myself.  So that’s basically all I got

to do list

do laundry at 6 am
make the artichoke dip for the party and drop it off.
get ready for the wedding reception.
get to the reception and pace myself because i have another party to go to.

Long term goal: Start an urban garden and farmers market. Midterm goal: look for the site around the area where I live and talk to the other two gardens about starting a farmers market. Short goal: start researching for making an urban garden.

Dear Mindy,

                Remember the conversation we had before you left upstate about starting an urban garden in the city and starting a small famers market with the other two gardens in town. Also teaching the kids in elementary the beauty of it, like how were taught in grade school. Well it’s been a year and I’ve accomplish it. It wasn’t easy considering the hegemony of our city council and school board. The next day after talking to you I went to a couple of farmer markets and asked about how to start one what needs to be done. And they gave me a good amount of information. I went to a couple of city hall meetings to see how it’s done to make an appointment to talk to the city council, that took about a month to do. Doing to time of waiting I got all the paperwork needed for the meeting, I looked at couple of the empty lots in the city, the one that I had I mind is the one behind our grade school, next to raphes grandma houses, the one where we found the dead snake. I wanted the city to be part of it since the other two were private. So coming up with how much it would cost was a bit difficult. The day of the meeting it went quite good, since they are mostly liberals. I had a committee a signed to me and I had to report all the things I did. I set up three meetings with the two other garden leaders and they deferred it every time. When we finally had the meeting it was chaos the two leaders really dislike each other and the people in those gardens got fed up and voted them out, do you remember the twins from middle school, they supplant them and they are wonderful. When the first harvest was done we had a huge ceremony, we partner up with the grade school so we could put some of the booth in the playing ground. I’m writing to you to thank you for keeping me grounded in this project. That talk really put me in the mood to do it. Come home, I have a small area saved for you; I know how much you love artichokes.

I've heard of many stories that strangers tell me either in the train station, subway, coffee shops or at my mums work. But the ones that stick to me are the ones that my father tells me when we are out and about. That he left his home to look for a better life, don't get me wrong my father loves his parents so much, he talks to them every day on the phone. He moved from place to place just whatever seems good at the time or when his friends said lets go here. My father was one of the many grape pickers in no cal years before the whole Cesar Chavez events took place. He would tell me that about 10 people would share a three room house and they had to pay rent that was like 200 bucks a month but he and the other workers would make half if they even got paid. The working conditions weren’t that bad but they were bad, in the sun and they couldn’t take a break to refill his water jug. That he picked from grapes to apples to all the nuts there was. The one that he was afraid of was the apple since he was afraid of heights. He would say at time he would think that he was going to spend his life alone that he wasn’t going to find someone to love him, that he got in a depression for a while. After a year of working there he saved enough to pay off his debt and leave. At that time he met my mother, she was living with my father’s cousins it was in the 80s and they haven’t left each other sight since then. What I learned from this story is that you can be making a living in the most unfavorable conditions but you’ll find the person that you’re going to spend your life with. Even when things are going bad to stay strong.

I made plans to catch up all the late work that i have. I was going to do it all yesterday in between my seven hour break and all I end up doing instead was watch community and bob burgers. Also to call my class mate from culinary school to ask him how the business is doing since we opened it two months ago, but I got carried away with the television shows. Clearly I didn’t follow those plans. This weekend I plan to study for an exam on Tuesday and I’ve done none of the readings, I plan to use the SQ3R to do the review.  Also for the culture class I’m taking I need to write a paper about Jewish immigrants and the types of ingredients they used and why. I need to stay away for the television and other distracting things. I think I’m going to the library to work on all the course work I need to be done, the best thing I can do because I know I’m going to get sidetracked at home. Make an appointment with my therapist it’s been four months since I last had a meeting with her. I have a wedding on the eighteen of this month so I need to go check if the suit fits me and what’s the outline of the night because I’ve been out of the loop for the past four months. So I need to clean up and wrap up the gift I got them the collection of Nigella Lawson, they love her so much.
