Well here I am again; its test time and I don’t feel like studying.... so instead I am going to up date this damn thing. I think it’s about time actually... my last entry is from the beginning of the year and I am already reaching the end of the semester. Yeap that’s right folks I am almost done with my junior year in college. Bring on senioritis. Although I am going to be a senior next year it sure doesn’t feel that way. First I don’t think I am ready for to graduate yet considering the fact that I have no clue where I am going with this so called life of mine. It seams only yesterday that I was starting college and getting to know how things worked. Well anyway, it’s not up to me, as a very wise person said once: "life moves pretty fast... if you don’t stop and look once in a while.... you might miss it"..... now who could have said that.... maybe it was my dad or my grandpa... but no those words of wisdom did not come from somebody I know personally.... that came from somebody I know off.... these wise teaching are from non other than................................................................................that’s right ladies and gentlemen..... Should I really say it..... Why don’t you guess... really it’s not that hard? This is when you know that I have nothing to talk about..... when I just begin to blabber about some stupid quote..... now what you might be thinking for those who don’t know the author of the famous quote..... is am I ever going to say who it was that said that?????.... you might be pondering all day trying to figure it out..... it might even drive you insane.... but to find out who it is your going to have to finish reading this entry and not stop in the middle..... hahaha.... look at that I found a way to keep you interested in the crap I write on this web site..... score one for the Sejo.....

Anyway.... so back to what this entry is really all about ME.... ohhh wait did that sound to self-centered... ohhh well to bad... so since my last web entry many things have happened... both in the social and career related areas..... why don’t we start with the gang.... or at least that’s what we are calling it these days.... ever since Alvaro created out own little picture  website..... which is awesome by the way... good job Alvaro.... we have become the gang... the homies.... the brothers and sisters in arms... we are fighting the revolution of social procrastination... or are we supporting it.... I am not sure.... anyway... things have been going pretty good.... we keep doing stuff over the weekend... and amazingly enough its not all going to the movies.... we have gone bowling and have had bbq's which have taught us that there are other things that we can do other than sitting down and watching every movie imaginable... but these activities still require a level of mental effort that most of us are not willing to put in..... but this new revolution is good for the pride and mental stability of the group I guess.... what the hell am I talking about... Hollywood where are all the good movies at..... naaa just kidding.... bowling was awesome and bbq's rule... don’t worry Jessi we will still do other stuff than watching movies..... well the last one we saw was Sin City.... although the movie was good.... and the style and some of the lines were awesome.... the violence in the movie was so much in excess that you kind of get disgusted and exhausted by the film... I saw it twice once with Maurizio at an advance screening.... that’s right... my high contacts in the pop culture scene managed to obtain two passes to see it two days before release.... and then the second time with everybody else..... to tell you the truth I liked it but I wouldn’t see it again for a long time... I still have the picture of limbs and parts and blood lying all over the place..... Hopefully summer movies will be a little less impacting on what we call mental health..... other than that we haven’t gone to the movies much... we had a bbq at Maurizios the other night.... it was awesome... cooked some burgers... drank some alcohol and played some ping pong......  the only thing missing was the capitalist bastard... none other than Alvartio B.P.(i.e. banco popular)..... so that’s how things are on the social side of my life.... I have to say, it could be better.... naaa just kidding guys....

As for my personal life.... well that seams to be going pretty good.... I am still together with Melanie which is awesome... she is the coolest, goofiest, cutest girl around.... (just remember that if I don’t say that then  I will get in trouble this weekend... so just bare with me)......naaa she is..... as for my family... things are good.... went out on the boat the other day... had a blast..... and my little brother is getting a dog soon.... a beagle which we are going to call Rocko....... he is more excited that the rest of the family but its still going to be cool... my sister is doing great up in Pitt... so that’s cool... we got our visa renewed which is great and we already applied for residency... so once we get all that out of the way then we are in the clear.... ohhh but something that does suck... is that because of the whole visa problem... I wont be able to go on the SEA semester this year... I had to push is back until next fall.... so my sailing days will have to be pushed back until then... but o well.... things could be worse... I was just really excited about the whole thing......

 Anyway...... I think that’s what’s going on with my life.... ohhh shit I forgot about the ski trip..... yeah spring break was awesome... we went skiing to North Carolina..... the trip was great.... the best part was that I learned pretty quickly so I was able to hang out with the rest of the people who went... if you guys want more details about that... ready Maurizios log... he accurately and with out any biases.. I think.... described the trip..... it was a lot of fun... actually the only thing that sucked was that it was to short and more people would have been better.... but ohhh well  we still had fun.....

Well I think its about time that I get to studying considering the fact that I only have two hours to my test..... what can I say I am the perfect example of a true college student.... I live and die by procrastination..... well I hope you all enjoyed the entry..... and don’t be expecting one for a while.... actually I might right one soon.... finals right around the corner...... well this is where I say good bye..... "good bye".....

ahhhh you thought I wasn’t going to say who was the author of the quote..... well I think you have all waited long enough.... that quote was said by....................none other than Ferris Bueler.... that’s right the man himself... I must say if everybody lived like Ferris the world would be a better place..... anyway... got to go.... bye everybody.....

Hey everybody

         Well it’s been exactly two months since my last posting.... I think it’s about time that I post a new entry. But so many things have happened since last I wrote I don’t know where to start. Last time you heard from me, I was still in finals complaining about how hard the semester was and all that stuff... well I am glad to say that at least all the hard work paid off. When I got my grades in late December I was thrilled to see that I some how managed to dig up a C from a failing Orgo grade. That alone was enough to make me happy and the fact that all my other grades were good added to the growing sign of relief.....

        Well after finals were done, we had one last big party at my house... it was fun.... but the cleaning afterwards was not.... anyway.... a few days after that I packed my stuff and I went back home to Fort Lauderdale.  Finally it was time to relax and enjoy vacation. I got home put away my stuff and slept for like three days straight... well almost. It was nice to go back home and not have to worry about so many things... however; there were still things I had to do. Well x-mass came and went with no problems.... the vacations were relaxing, although I didn’t do much. I spent most of my time sitting around the house watching TV or playing video games. I did go out with the gang a few times, but we didn’t do that much either... everybody was with the family and were busy so we didn’t have that much time to do stuff. But no matter what you do, Christmass is always fun. I got some interesting gifts this year.... like a cook book I think I will never use.... and the best of all a professional pillow... I love that thing.... it is so comfortable..... So good that I don’t dare bring it to college because I probably won’t wake up to go to class... I got a few other good stuff....so presents were good.... and food even better. That’s another things that was so good this break... we ate so much...  and everything was so good.... we went to all kinds of restaurants with everybody and had a bunch of big dinners at the house as well as my aunts house... including x-mass dinner and new years of course..... But it was all good fun.... I think the only other interesting thing about this vacation was the fact that I watched Lord of the Rings: Return of the King about 6 times.... and it was the extended version so each time it was like 4 hours long..... I got it as a present so I saw it once alone.... then with my sister... then I watched all the special features... including the movie three times with commentary.... then one last time with Melanie at her house.... wow I think if you add up all the time I spent watching that DVD its about like 3 days.... I need to get a life!!!!

Well the rest of break went with out trouble or surprise….well except for the news I got on the 22nd….. I got this call saying I was excepted into the SEA semester program at Woods Hole…. This was a program I was applying to last semester…. AND I GOT IN!!! I was so excited about that… I thought I wouldn’t get in…. but I did… the program consists of 6 weeks in Woods Hole Oceanographic institute in Massachusetts and then 6 weeks on a sail boat in the middle of the Atlantic… I start next August and go for the entire semester…. So I can’t wait… its going to be awesome. That was some of the best news I got…. Anyway… my sister came down to spend the break with us so that was cool... but nothing much happened... just chilled at home not doing much.... until we go to the last week of break right before classes started..... then came some of the happiest days I have had in a while....   let me start of by saying that Melanie is the best....jajaja.... well its true.... and that’s the big news... I finally got a girlfriend... I know you are all thinking that it’s about time…. at least that’s what my roommates tell me.... but I am really happy so I think I made a good choice.... Melanie and I are together and it’s better than ever..... I won’t go into to much detail just to spare you who don’t care.... the timing was a little off because classes started right after we got together so we can’t spend that much time together..... Anyway... It was definitely the biggest thing that happened this break.....

       After that I came back down to Miami and moved back in with my roommates at the house.... which is falling apart by the way.... classes started... and I discovered that Organic Chem. 2 is like 4 times worse than Orgo 1 last semester.... so I am in for a real nice semester.... at least the rest of my classes aren’t that bad so I got that to lean back on after I get murdered by Chem.... and I think that’s about it.... everything else is fine.... I am actually at the library once again... after the camping’s I had here last semester I think I don’t feel comfortable anywhere else on campus.... it is like I need to come back here to feel responsible... but the truth is I never do work when I am in here anyway.... so I am not sure what that means.....

              Well I think that is long enough for a two month break from writing crap on Xanga..... So I think I am going to stop there and leave it to you imagination to fill in the rest of my life....because I am sure you can come up with more interesting things than what actually happened..... Well this Jose Luis signing off..... Later everybody...

Well... its about that time again... the time when I dont want to do any more work... but I cant figure out anything to do... so I write something here.

Let me just say that this had been by far the worst week of my college education. I havnt stoped working literarely since saturday last week. On tuesday I went all night studying in the library for my Orgo test the next morning... and I cant hold my eyes open anymore.... this morning I  was correcting my Ecology paper and the screen kept going blurry... and its still not over... in a little while I have to start studying for my ecology test tommorow.... and then next week I start finals.... ohhh god I want it to be december 15th already..... there is only one word that sums up this week... and that is "HELL"...

and thats not the worst part.... even though I studied like crazy for my orgo test... I still only got a C.... that just makes me want to crawl up in a ball and cry.... shit!!!!... I cant believe that shit.... that is the most discouraging thing ever.... ask me how much do I want to study for my next test now that I know that no matter how hard you study... it is impossible to get higher than a 80% in that class..... 

ohhhh man I hate chemistry..... anyway.... on a more lighter note.... I want to shoot myself.... wait... what??? no thats not right.... is it... I hate my life.... no that not it.... ohhh I got it.................. I HATE CHEMISTRY!!!!!!!!!

I need a vacation... as you can see I have no life what so ever..... well I am going to go take a nap in the comfy sofa chairs in the library..... because my body is telling me I need to recharge the batteries.... they should have rooms with beds where you can sleep here in the library... that way you wouldnt have to ever leave... just sleep in here and go to class and work.... I should recomend that to the ladies at the front desk... ohhh wait... bad idea.... they would get mad and rip my heart out with their bare hands and crush it right in front of me..... trust me I have seen it before.... the other day... this poor inocent bitch was talking on the cell phone right in front of the "Turn cell phones off" sign and this lady came and riped her head off.... not a prety site... let me just say that Kill Bill dont have nothing on that cat fight....the UNICCO (cleaning company here at UM) people had trouble cleaning that mess up.... those ladies are always in a bad mood.... I dont know... there is something about this last week of class that has everybody in a bad mood aroound here.... today when I went to get lunch at Panda Express... the cashier person.... I am nor sure if its a she or he so lets just leave it at person.... got mad and barked back because I gave her the wrong change....also... this german girl at the library kept talking on her cell phone in german, and she was really loud, everybody kept turning around to see her, this guy even went SHHH and she didnt do anything, so finally one of the library poeple (yes they are there own species) went and told her to hang up... but like an hour later she started to talk again,  but this time the library people werent around... dont ask me where the were.... might have been sorting out the stacks or something... anyway I turned around and ask the girl if she could go outside... and she turns around and gives me this evil stare, like I did something wrong, and then says something in german to the person on the phone along the lines of: "I have to leave because someone is complaining"... what?? complaining my ass bitch.... there is a giant sign that says no cell phones behind you and little sign in every computer...its my god damn right to complain... and then she stood up and left.... what is up with that???..... ohhh man, this week has to end... so the world goes back to normal....

well its about time for that nap.... my next update... will be when I dont want to work anymore... so in other words real soon..... later

Ok.... well.... where to start?.... my life is a big mix of things.... I have so many things going on at one time I don’t know how I haven’t gone crazy... lets start with school.... I am in my third year of the university but it seams like I have been here one semester... and I skipped a few years... damn time goes by fast. I am studying Marine Biology...  which is awesome... but harder than it sounds.... I have so many classes I need to take it is not even fair.... This coming weak I have two tests... two essays... two projects... and a quiz all in the last three days.... now call me crazy... but that is impossible!!!... and then the weak after that finals start...  shit this sucks..... These two next weeks are easily the hardest I have had hear at college.... But it doesn’t stop there... while all this is going on... I have more things to worry about.... including applications, football games, parties, friends and more.... as a matter a fact... right now I should be doing work... but instead I am procrastinating and doing something else while taking up one of the computers in the library, which probably some frustrated senior needs to be able to finish his or her theses... well at least I am not playing some stupid game on yahoo... or playing poker online... like many of the dedicated scholars here at UM like to do.... so anyway back to my problems.... those are always fun to talk about....  well if I do survive these next two weeks... which I doubt I will .... Then I will spend my Christmas break with the family, enjoying good food and some much needed sleep... but there is always some type of responsibilities that have to get done.... I have to make sure that I send all my applications to all the programs I am applying to for an internship next summer.... ohh and lets not forget the SEA semester program I am planning to go to next fall.... it consists of 12 weeks of all marine science stuff... 6 weeks at Woods Hole Massachusetts and 6 weeks in the middle of the Atlantic doing nothing but sailing, research and being isolated from society.... I cant wait..... but that’s if I get excepted.... the only possible down side of this trip... is that I will miss Hurricane Football season next fall... that’s a shame... well after that it is back to UM to finish out the major... sounds like a lot... but I am sure it will pass so fast... but it all depends if I get through these next two weeks (God help me!!!).

       As if it is not bad enough that I am so busy these next two weeks... but I have to go to Venezuela for four days (which is not a bad thing) to get my passport renewed... but this is right before finals week which sucks....I also miss the V.Tech game on Saturday... which will probably be so good... because we need to win to be able to win the ACC (our conference for you who don’t know college football).... well I guess you have to sacrifice certain things to be able to do others....

         Anyway.. that’s some of the more long term news... more recent news includes "P.E.C.D.M. November 16th" as stated by Maurizio (which is why I started this whole writing thing in the first place)... god damn you Maurizio... you gave me another source of procrastination... anyway... I have to say, that day was a lot of fun... although the next morning was not to good. But I will tell that story some other time cause.... I have been writing for a while now and I am to lazy to start that long tale.... Other events this last few weeks.... included the first big party at our house... which turned out to be a success.... although we did not finish the second keg.... But overall it was good.... a lot of people came... met some hot freshmen girls and hanged out with a lot of friends..... and I think everybody had a good time.... I know I sure did....

          Ohhh man this last month has been crazy.... it ranged from Universal... to almost loosing my liver.... good times with Canes and with Venezuelans.... amazing... so many good times its hard to keep track.... all I can think about is that next semester promises to be a good one.... all the same fun with less work... hopefully... well I am running out of ideas here... so I think I am going to stop... and maybe try to do some work...I feel kind of awkward looking around in the library... everybody hard at work... and then me sitting here wasting time talking to thin air.... ahhh what the minds ponders.... well hope you all had some laughs.... see you around people....

        My name is Jose Luis.... and I approve this message....   just kidding.... bye........ till  next time....   

Well.... here goes nothing.... this is my first entry into the not to well known realm of the journal!!!!....  I am not to big on the whole writing thing.... but I guess writing can't be that bad.... it’s a way to let emotion out.... without looking like a fool (which is always good). I will try to post stuff on here as often as possible... but I can’t say it will be much... if it is.... I will be very surprised.... anyway.... hope you enjoy....
