How is the semester going for me? My workload was getting a little out of hand, but i have gotten it back under control.  My grades aren't looking so well but i understand the material and perform well on tests and assignments.  I live in port hueneme and sometimes ride my bike to school.  2 weeks ago i rode my bike to school but my tire went flat at the end of my class.  I live in Port Hueneme, not that far but last wednesday i walked all the way to class only to discover that it had been canceled; I had no prior warning.  That incident tested my nerves a little but i got over it.  My uncle has been giving me rides home when he gets off work but he got a good bike for me so now i can ride my bike to and from school with ease.  I have a statistics and trigonomtry class along w/ english and none of those three is too hard, although my stats class moves at the fastest pace and covers the most complex material.  Before this semester I was homeless, hungry, and without much family.  Since then i have gained two brothers, an extended family, i don't go hungry and i don't feel alone surrounded by people.In high school i had gotten into ditching and although i have always been smart my attitude towards class was just to chill and talk to some girls.  Now i actually spend time reading my textbooks and studying.  I write down notes to supplement my understanding of my course material.  Whatever bad happens to me is only goin to make me more efficient in my endeavors.
