My Classes

Last night, I went to the Newton game expecting to find my ex. I hadn’t seen her since early this year, so I was kinda looking forward to it. Here’s a small background info.

I met Danielle through Karate along with friends Ann-Marie and Ashley. She was the quiet type and I became friends with the three of them. One day, I found out she liked me and I asked her out. However, her mom wasn’t “comfortable” with her daughter dating a black guy. Anyway, we broke up but became good friends. The next year, I asked her back out and she said yes. We could see each other at Karate on Monday and Wednesday. That is until her dad won custody over her.

When her dad had custody, she didn’t come to karate as often. In fact, she used to ride with Ann-Marie and Ashley, but he stopped that. She would also come to class right when it starts, and he was there to pick her up after class started; she had to be on the curve when he came to pick her up. This was about 2 months into our relationship. Then, she stopped coming at all. For three months, I had no way of contacting her by any means.

Finally, I saw her again at a teacher’s Convocation where Eastside and Newton’s marching band performed their show. That was the last time we held hands. Anyway, I went to Newton High School to drop off a magazine and something else to Trey. It just so happened she spotted me while I was waiting for Trey. At the Newton Jamboree, she broke up with me. That was during my Senior year.

Anyway, her dad and her grand-dad really got on to me about something and I stopped talking to her. Then, at one band festival, I gave her my aunt’s number and her dad called her and that led to a whole mess (the main reason why I didn’t go to Prom my Senior year). Nowadays, we can talk to one another without incident, but I wanted this to be the last time she would see me.

I can only see her at events where the Newton and Eastside bands perform, or if Eastside doesn’t have a game but Newton does. I also came to this decision because there are times when someone’s facial expression makes you think one thing, when in reality they feel differently inside.

I saw her during the Third Quarter break with her b/f and I asked her if I could talk to her. When I began to talk, she looked like she was genuinely happy to see me. Anyway, I told her ‘this will probably be the last time you’ll see me because I will most likely be in Tech’s marching band which will prevent me from coming to Friday games’. Then I asked her how things were and then I commented that she has a b/f. Finally, I said that I wasn’t going to hold her up and for her to have a good life.

The Newton Rams faced Habersham Central (we lost to them a few weeks ago). Newton didn’t do as good as we did :-P. The weather was nippy and the benches were wet, but it started to dry up as the game went along. Habersham played Elvis songs (“Jailhouse Rock”, and some others but it’s escaping me at the moment). Newton played a Disney theme (I think?). I ended up leaving towards the end of the Fourth Quarter.

I registered for my classes a second ago *smiles*. Here’s my schedule:

Soci 1101 (MWF) 10-10:50 General Classroom Building 213

CSC 1010 (MWF) 11-11:50 Classroom South 210

Fren 1001 (MW) 12-12:50 Sparks Hall 303

——————————————————————————————————————————–

jour 1000 (TR) 9:30-10:45 Library South 102

Astr 1020 (TR) 1-2:15 Classroom South 608

Lab on W 2-3:50 Kell hall 516

Only thing I hate about labs, is scheduling them. You have to cater for that one lab *blah!* I lvoe this schedule because on MW, I get up at 8, and get out around 3:50 (or whenever the lab is finished). Not to shabby in my mind. On Friday, I’d get out before noon so that isn’t too bad. Tuesday and Thursday will see me with lots of time on my hands between Jour and Astr and I like that! During the summer, I know I’m taking French 1002 and perhaps Basic Reporting. After the next FAll semester, I will have finished my core curriculum. Anyway, I’m keeping Laura on hold so I’m going to finish this entry. Have a good day!

Ack, sorry Joe, MSN keeps cutting me off. I wanted to chat to you too *sigh*. Anyway, I think it’s horrible that Danielle wasn’t allowed to date you just because you are a black guy. I hate racism and such, why can’t people realise that skin colour does not matter? We are all the same after all.

im sorry about you and your ex i can totally understand when it comes down to someone being a different race and its such a horrible thing to base people on and its sad that people arent accepted for how they were born…..hey your classes sound great! hope everything is peachy keen with you and i hope to talk to you later see you! 🙂 Jocelyn

the stigma placed upon people out of ignorance is the most..vile thing to put it mildly..alot of my family is like what you described and they disgust me..its like alot of them say one thing and feel/do another where any other race, religion, or just anything differant than they are whats bad is stopping that circle here & teaching our kids not to be like that is the only thing to be done

unfortunantly not alot of parents stick with it there are good people in my family too..they have just been torn apart by the above mentioned people and so they teach their kids fear and protection instead of common sense and reality i’ll be here all day on this subject so im just going to hush *hugs*
