Farewell

Tomorrow will be the last day of work for the TA portion of my job.  As a farewell to my students, I wanted to give them a "good luck in college" speech.  Especially since this was my first time working for a freshman class.  Although I have a physics midterm to study for (really? a midterm a week before the semester ends? -__-), I want to make a rough draft...on tumblr...

Hello everyone, as you may know, my name is Annabella.  To half of the class, I'm just the TA who sits in during activity on her laptop doing something.  To the other half of the class, I'm your annoying PA that frowns at your disorganized Cornell notes or your C from that one History midterm.  Yet nonetheless, I still see you all as one of my own.  I didn't start my college career on the greatest note.  I didn't meet Michael on the greatest note.  In fact, do you know how one of our first conversations went?  He told me he had no hope for me as a student and I should just take time off and give my student spot for someone who does deserve it.  Two years later, I joined his staff as a peer adviser.  I became one to steer students away from the route that I once took...and to get away from retail.  From my 3.5 years of experience in college and a year working with student on academic probation, here is what I can advise you for one last time:

You are going to work for the rest of your life.  You are going to work for the rest of your life.  The rest of your life.  Yes, money is very important but don't let it come in the way of your education.  Don't work 40 hours a week for $8/hour and fail half of your classes.  Use your youth to travel, read, relax, eat, spend time with friends and family and fill your minds with endless knowledge.  5 or 10 years from now when you're done with school, you'll get a full-time job and the money will come.  For now, work little and learn more.

Don't compare yourself to others.  If Sally is taking 18 units of organic chemistry, physics, genetics, calculus and history doesn't mean you can.  You may be able to, but don't try to test the theory immediately yourself.  Take it slow, build up the difficulty of your classes slowly and see how well you can handle it.  Everyone has their own pace, know your own.  And that's okay, as long as it get the job done.  You're not Sally and Sally isn't you.

That's it for now.  Two more weeks of physics and I will be done with it.  TWO MORE WEEKS JEEBERS I REALLY HATE SCIENCE WHY IS MY MAJOR BIOLOGY I DON'T KNOW.

La video qu'il te faut: Hopsin - Ill Mind Of Hopsin #5

Hopsin's Ill Mind series are dope but this one is more than any other. Deep lyrics, sick flow that reminds me early eminem songs and an out of the box approach to writing. Not to mention that his courageous enough to call Tyler an illuminati puppet (which he is ;)

Lyrics : a few lines missing but the overall meaning is here

[Verse 1]  Man I hate rap, but if the shoe fits, wear it  I've become a freak of nature all the kids stare at  Who walk around bumping RAW with the shit blaring  Saying "Fuck school" and dropping out like a miscarriage  I'm embarrassed  And I'm ashamed I played a part in this devilish game  Making your common sense perish  But I ain't taking the full blame  Cause most of you chumps running around here ain't never had strict parents  All of your brain cells rotting from weed  You feeling like if you ain't got it, life's not as complete  You're having sex with every-motherfuckin'-body you see  With a past so dark that Satan'd jump out of his seat  But still you out in these streets thinking you hot as can be  Without the knowledge to lead so you just follow the sheep  Making sure your lame swag is all polished and clean  While your favorite rapper's like "Yeah, he got it from me"  You been brainwashed by a fake life that you're used to livin'  When I say the word "fun", what do you envision  Probably drinking and smoking out with your crew  And chilling with clueless women you trying to bang, bumping New Edition  Is that all you think life really is  Well if so, then you're a fucking idiot  I honestly feel like grabbing your head and hitting it  Matter of fact, you don't even deserve a brain, GIMME IT!  Do you even have any goals  Aside from bagging these hoes and packing a bowl  Well let me guess- No  You're only in school because your parents make you go  And all you do is play beer pong and hang out with your bros  Yo, society's got you living for a whack cause  You're a fucking adult with no skills at all  You don't read any books or play ball  You don't draw, you literally do nothing at all  Still you fiend for the glamorous fruits  You don't have cause you idolize rappers that do  And all they say is "I got money and it's stacked to the roof"  And now you think that it's gon' magically just happen to you  How, Your lazy ass don't commit to labor  You pick something up, try it out, and put it down two minutes later  Then you complain about your life cause it ain't getting catered  Now whoever tries to call you on your bullshit's a hater  You wanna succeed, you have to try  Or one day you'll get older and regret it all cause you can't provide  Your friends are lowlifes, don't act surprised  Look, just cut the bad fruit off of the tree, make the sacrifice  Girls, stop acting like you want a guy with traits like Romeo  Bitch that's a fucking lie  You always talk about how every man's fake  And you can't take it and you want something real  Shut up tramp, save it  Twice a week you put on your makeup and damn bracelets  And head to the club half-naked with your ass shaking  Pulling a lowlife nigga who claim he cash making  Til you let him hit and find out he work at the gas station  One of them niggas got you pregnant and you can't raise it  But you caused it, your actions made a fat statement  You want Romeo, then act patient  And stop fronting like he in the club posted in the back waitin'  It's the club, where guys put on a new persona  After they get loaded with a few coronas  They always shouting and wild out with habits that very few condone of  Then they look for beautiful brainless bitches like you to bone 'em  Then when they leave you, you cry and cry  Talking 'bout, "Oh my god I can't find a guy  I've spent so many years and I've tried and tried  Why am I even on Earth? I should die"  You want Romeo, you're not worthy  You're cock-thirsty  You're nasty and probably got herpes  Sometimes the secret to find is to stop searching  Try a new formula, cause your last one's not working  The term "real nigga"'s publicly used  And I need to know what it means, cause I'm fucking confused  Are you one for always busting your tool  With nothing to lose and something to prove to homies up in your crew  Is it because you're selling drugs to get loot  And brag about how you done been shot and stabbed  Like it's fun to be you  But your life's a struggle, right, and you just hustling through  Nah, you hamster ass nigga, you just stuck in a loop  Man, why do black people gotta be the only ones who can't evolve  Cause you in the streets acting like a neanderthal  It's clear you can't stand the law, you're lost as an abandoned dog  And all you're interested in is fighting, rapping, and basketball  I can't even fuck with you, cause if we out in public  You gon' get caught stealing some shit and get my ass in trouble, too  You'll get old and be nothing  Living life in these streets, thugging and starting shit with anybody mean mugging  Look at you, a real nigga, thinking your life's cool  Girls used to turn me down for guys who were like you  'Til you grab their heart and shove a spearhead right through  Then they regret it because it wasn't the right move  Your real nigga talk seems bogus  A real nigga don't brag about being real as long as he knows it  And his future doesn't seem hopeless  A real nigga stays out of jail, handles shit, and he keeps focused  So all you rappers whose soul is out in the wrong  You inspire the issue I wrote about in this song  You go to pile on the young who roam around in the slums  See this is what happens when rap's overcrowded with bums  Hope the hour is long when I'm rolling out with your tongue  The man above is my guide, you know the power is strong  All you menacing freaks are only in it for cheese  And the mass control limit was breached - fuck hip-hop  They only in it for cheese, and any eyewitness can see  They purposely making the innocent weak  My existence on this planet's for you, I ain't only here to benefit me  Yo, we need to make a change while there's still time  It is hard, and sometimes I struggle trying to reveal mine  I can guide you if you feel blind  I just need you to be willing to journey into my ill mind

#Discovery: Rhye - Open

Rhye ? "No one knows what it means but it's damn good music"

I randomly came across this thing and all i could come up with about she/them is 

Not much is known about this mysterious Los Angeles based electro-pop duo. The band has left no trails, tracks, or prints. Not a smidge. Both their Facebook and Tumblr pages have kept their identities completely concealed. There has been some speculation of the possibility that the twosome has European backgrounds and both are also members of two well-known bands. But then again, the lead singer could very well be my mum and I’d have no clue.

What I am certain about is that Rhye (whoever they may be) are producers of some wonderful art. Title track from their debut EP, “Open,” must be one of the sexiest songs of 2012. The lead singer provides a gloriously immaculate yet ghostly voice that literally transmits chills up every inch of your spine. With the sweetest lyrics, velvety vocals and a calming beat, Rhye delivers a beautiful love song right from the first few lines:

I’m a fool for that shake in your thighs I’m a fool for that sound in your sighs I’m a fool for your belly I’m a fool for your love

No doubt, this song is downright sensual. Its compelling nature leaves you completely attached, similar to the feeling of falling in love. Have a look at the just-as-sexy music video (and I will warn you it does contain sexual content and nudity). Brilliantly filmed though, the video is even more captivating than the song.

While you are at it, have a listen to two other songs, “Three Days” and “Hunger“, also off Rhye’s EP “Open”.

Rhye – Three Days

Rhye – Hunger

Fans of Rhye have compared their sound to the likes of Sade and Enya while other fans have suggested a male lead singer….

Whatever Rhye has planned up their sleeves, they are doing a great job. We are always attracted to the unknown. I love games and I love mysteries and I’ve always wanted to be a spy. I am utterly intrigued and I know I will definitely be keeping tabs on Rhye’s every move, so stay tuned for a possible revelation.

This all so very suspicious… and I like it!
