As you know, it's summer! Well, in the States that is. Summer vacation started a long time ago and July is already over. I am deeply saddened by this because unfortunately I have rarely gone out to enjoy the city during my free time. There is, of course, a logical explanation as to why I have spent my entire July locked up in an apartment in Red Hook, Brooklyn. There are two reasons for such ludicrous behavior. Reason One: School ended for me on June 26 but I got sick as soon as classes ended... literally. I was sick for two weeks which stopped me from bike riding. Reason Two: I am transferring to a different school in the fall and so I (along with every other student in my new school) have summer assignments to complete.
I cannot complain because I truly want to attend my new school and am determined to work hard this school year. Surprise, there are still some high school students that aren't bothered by homework! To add on, I have homework assignments from four different school subjects and so I haven't fully completed any assignments (I'm sorry, I'm still a teen, procrastination is my middle name sometimes!). The bad part about this is that I have to finish all of my homework before the end of August, which is when I will be taking a trip to Mexico along with my siblings. So you see, I'm not all that boring.
But of course, being that I am growing up I'm going to need to start finding a job or at least do some community service. My lazy days are over. And to be honest, being lazy isn't the best thing in the world. Especially because you get tired of doing nothing for long periods of time. Being lazy is even worse when you're living in a city like New York because you miss out on the many events that go on not just in Brooklyn, but in Manhattan, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island. My advice to you if you're just visiting NYC: try to spend most of your time outside your hotel or wherever you're staying. You never know who you might bump into or what cool concert is being held for free at the park. Don't plan your day out, let your feet take you wherever they want to. But please, don't do anything illegal.

School's Over, A New Journey Awaits
Well, school is finally over. I can't really say that I'm relieved because I don't feel that way. My first year of high school is over. For the first three months or so all I thought about was how much I despised the school and it's classes and how badly I wanted to transfer. I admit that I entered the school (which will remain unnamed) with the mentality that it would be my first and only year there. If I would've known how much better things were going to get then I might have reconsidered asking for a transfer. As the year went on I was becoming more accustomed to life at the school, yet I wasn't liking it. It wasn't until January that I actually began to make friends. These friends would stick by my side throughout the entire year. Even with these good friends I was still praying to get my results. When I finally received these results in March I was ecstatic. I was relieved that the many months of work and dedication had gotten me into the school that I wanted to be in since 8th grade. I told every one of my friends and they seemed to be pretty happy about it. Of course, being such close friends meant that when I left the school the following year I wouldn't be with them. This brought sadness to me. My sadness wouldn't come to an end though. During parent-teacher conferences I was told by my English teacher that he had recommended me for the English honors class next year. I was deeply saddened because I like English and an opportunity like this would mean that I would take on much more serious work for 10th grade. That's really great but only if I would've stayed.
Don't get me wrong, I am very, very excited to be going to the school I'll be in next year. I feel like I will do well there. I've worked really hard to get into the school and I'll put an equal or even greater effort to get the best grades possible. The only unfortunate part is that I won't be taking French like I had hoped. But anyways, I'll do great either way.
My friends at my former high school are all really intelligent and I hope to see them again. I know they'll do an exceptional job in school. Who knows, maybe I'll even go into their graduation and from there we'll hang out as adults and go to awesome places. :D We might change just a slight bit as time goes by but that's okay because we'll still be cool people.
And for the friends I will be meeting at my new school very soon: (insert British accent) hello, I'm Jacky and I'm a Belieber. It seems that we'll be having an amazing and dramatic three years of school ahead of us. But hey, I'm ready for the adventure...

Un Autre Jour Dans Ma Vie
J'suis une fille qui vit a NYC (evidemment). Mais j'suis aussi une fille qu'aime a apprendre beaucoup des choses y compris les langues. J'ai etudie francais dans mon ecole pour trois ans. Je pense que le francais (et la culture francaises) sont tres interessants et beux. Je ne comprends pas comment les eleves de ma classe pense que c'etait enneyeux. Non, le francais est un beau langue.
De toute facon, aujourd'hui est une journee ennuyeuse parce que je suis fatigue. J'ai beacoup des devoirs de mes cours et il pleut. C'est la vie. Il y a douze classes a la fin de l'annee scolaire. J'suis heureux. En aout je vais aller au Mexique et l'annee scolaire prochaine je vais aller a une autre ecole. J'espere que tout sera grand, et je vais profiter de mes derniers jours dans cette école.
*J'suis desole s'il y a quelque chose mal orthographie. Je ne parle pas beaucoup de francais*

A Little Catching Up
It's been quite a while since I've written a post, so I've decided to take this lovely Saturday night to catch up.
School. School has gone very well actually. I recently finished my global rough draft (yay!) and am now mainly focused on passing the regents in June. Luckily, this will be my first and last year taking regents since I'm transferring to another school in the fall.
I haven't gone out much which is a bummer. I love going to the city whenever I get the chance but my laziness has prevented me from going anywhere. I guess another reason why I haven't been anywhere is because the weather in NYC has been gloomy. Though this past week presented itself with light showers, the afternoons were always really hot.
Speaking of hot, summer's coming. That means that I have to start shopping for shorts and new sunglasses. :) Of course, the fast-approaching summer also means that the school year is coming to an end. As mentioned before, I will be going to a different school next year. I've experienced some very horrible moments in my current school but I've met some great people (including teachers). Though I'm eager to attend my new school, I know I'll miss quite a few people from the current school I'm in. But oh we'll, life goes on and I'll just have to follow.
As for my plans for the fall, I still haven't bought my tickets to see Il Volo. :(

Train Ride Today (Life in NYC)
While I was on the F train today, on my way to 7th Avenue, I passed by the Smith-9th Street station. It's amazing how industrial yet glamorous the city looks. On one side you have factory upon factory with old buildings in between. Additionally, there are the many bridges connecting one borough to another, each with its unique design. On the other side, there's the tall buildings full of windows lined up in rows crowded in Manhattan; the infamous New York City skyline.
Why is it that when people (many of which have never been to the city) think of New York City, they picture Manhattan with its bright lights and iconic venues and crowded streets and just a city with people that have learned to coexist with one another? Other peoples' portrayal of this city make me laugh at times; I hear NYC and I try to think of solutions to problems the average New Yorker faces everyday. When I do have time to contemplate life in the city, I can't help but think of the peaceful neighborhood I lived on with the local bakery and library.
I think that the beauty of NYC is a tad bit overrated and sometimes even exaggerated in the movies. Let's be honest, those of us living in the city that never sleeps know that NYC has its cons. For example, the trains are dirty and have a tendency to smell bad, the streets are littered on, and the buildings fall apart as new houses are built and businesses open up.
The imperfections of this city are what make life here so intriguing. This is why I think that New York is so wondrous: no matter how many times I go to Manhattan or take a walk around Brooklyn, the scene is never the same. There are always new people to see and new events going on. Living in the neighborhood I lived on provided me with an interesting perspective on life because the serenity masked the fast pace of life.

Il Volo
I recently posted a video on YouTube (my first upload!) of Il Volo performing at Barnes & Noble on March 4, 2012. They were at Barnes & Noble for a short performance and to sign their most recent CD/DVD Il Volo Takes Flight: Live from the Detroit Opera House.
I was so excited to see them up close for the first time so naturally, waiting in line for four to five hours was completely worth it to me. The three of them sang Il Mondo and O' Sole Mio. *Note to Self: I really need to learn Italian so I can be able to communicate with them if I get the opportunity to meet them again.* :)
For those who don't know, Il Volo is a group of three Italian teens who sing operatic pop whose members are Gianluca Ginoble, Piero Barone, and Ignazio Boschetto.
Il Volo is coming back to NYC on September 4th and will be performing at the Beacon Theatre. Tickets are on sale starting April 14th (this Saturday). I'm so excited!! My mom now recognizes their talent and wants to go see them as well, so that can only mean that I will most likely see them in concert again. Of course, my younger brother now loves them too and won't allow us to leave him behind on such a wonderful opportunity.
I can only suggest that anyone interested in listening to these talented guys visit their website (ilvolomusic.com). You can see their performance at Barnes and Noble here.

Shopping Experience Gone Bad
I'm very, very tired but I felt the need to post.
I went shopping today at Macy's on 34th Street and it started out pretty good but it all went downhill when I tried on a few dresses.
I was cruising the Juniors' section and I spotted some fabulous items (especially from Material Girl and American Rag) that I wished to see in my closet at some point in life. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case since I had to buy an outfit or a new pair of shoes for my best friend's Quinceanera. The bad part wasn't that I had to buy nice clothes for my friend's party; the bad part was that I had to look through racks and racks of dresses that were in the prom section. It was a total nightmare. There were dresses of all kinds that weren't even that pretty. In the end, I miraculously found a few that I liked and took them to the fitting room.
This is when I entered hell. I tried on the dresses and they were either small, big, or unapproved by my mom. At this point in time I was craving some Ben & Jerry's ice cream but we continued looking for the perfect dress. We entered the woman's section at Macy's and found some nice Calvin Klein dresses. I was too tired to try them on and the price was a bit too much for my mom. Finally, we gave up on the dresses and walked towards the shoe department.
To sum it up, I found these really cute shoes but left devastated after the sales manager failed to bring me my size 7. I never found out whether she'd brought them or not because I left, feeling both angry and hungry; we'd spent four hours at Macy's to then leave the store empty-handed.
It wasn't until two hours later that we finally ate some delicious food due to the fact that I was forced to enter more shoe stores. Thank goodness I had bought a double chocolate brownie and Naked OJ from Starbucks.
The return home was pretty bad since I had a massive headache (and still do). It feels good to finally be able to sit in my pj's and hoodie and relieve my frustration through this blog post. I'm a survivor.

Spring Break
I am happy to announce that I am officially on spring break. Exciting, right? That means I'll have time to blog more often (yay)! :{)
I don't really know what to write about, but I guess I'll share the fact that I'm currently listening to my broken iPod. I have an iPod touch but I wanted to listen to my old iPod Nano. I'll share a photo of it...

As you can see, the top is completely loose. The top part falls often; i'm surprised it still works.

Apology Letter for Lack of Posting (tear, tear)
Well, what can I say? I haven't posted in a LOOOONG time. Sorry. It's just that being that I'm still in high school, (anyone reminiscing on those wonderful years of their life?) I have to study (even if it's the night before) for midterms and work on projects; ah, the good life. I still have a load of midterms to study for. Oh sure, I'll let you know my busy schedule-- thank you for asking!
Tomorrow I have an English midterm, Tuesday I have a math midterm, Wednesday I have a global midterm, Thursday is just Thursday, and Friday... I'M ON SPRING BREAK (or at least I think it's spring break). I don't know, these past few days have been crazy and this week won't be the exception. Maybe I shouldn't be complaining as much since I hear that living in the "real world" with a job and everything isn't necessarily paradise. I'll try to complain less. Yes, I think I'll be able to accomplish a lot more that way.
I need to find interesting topics to blog about. I know that no one really reads my stuff but I want this blog to be about the daily life of a teenage New Yorker. Of course, that's a bit impossible considering the amount of work and stress one must deal with as a high school student. Oh right, I'm not supposed to complain. Trust me, i'll go to different places the entire week I have off from school... or so I hope. I'll find something new and totally random to do during my break and just blog about it. I think that sounds pretty fun, don't you? :)
On the bright side, I just finished watching Beauty and the Briefcase, starring Hilary Duff. I find the film's ability to make investment banking seem like the best job in the world impressive. Honestly, I give props to Hilary's personality, both as the character she played as well as her actual charming self. I have so many thoughts on the film but I'm too tired to type them out. Some thoughts are just better to store in your mind, not your blog.
Well, that's all for today because I have an English midterm tomorrow, which I will get a high grade on (95-100 is my goal).
Later! :{D

Haven't Posted In A While/My Il Volo Experience
I haven't posted anything for a while. Obviously.
But anyways, I've been caught up with schoolwork. Whether it's been studying for tests or finishing up projects, I haven't had time to blog. Not like anyone actually has read what I've written but still, writing out my days provides a comforting feeling.
Guess what?? I MET IL VOLO ON MARCH 4TH!! I was so anxious to meet them (I had been waiting on line for four hours!) and when I finally saw their gorgeous faces, I couldn't help but think Gianluca Ginoble we need to get married ASAP!! :3 It was an amazing experience. I was sitting on the second row in the Barnes and Noble stage and later got my Il Volo Takes Flight: Live at the Detroit Opera House CD and DVD both signed by them. I HUGGED THEM AND PIERO GAVE ME A KISS!!! Meeting them was perhaps one of the most incredible and magical moments of my life.
I really hope I can see them in concert (again) at the Beacon Theatre on September 4!!
*Keeps finger crossed*
If you don't know who they are I suggest you look them up on YouTube or go to their website: ilvolomusic.com.

A Casual Note on Today's Activites
This post is REALLYYYY LOOOONG so I won't force you to read it (not like I'm ever going to force you to read what I write/type). It's a weird post and if you read all of it I congratulate you.
I must admit that that’s not why I chose to write about the events in my life today; I am wishing to express some of my concern on this project, specifically on the research part, which is what I should be doing write now instead of writing these very words right now. Leonardo da Vinci was a man that had a mind far more advanced than the science of his time. I mean, really, this man had the greatest mind of all time in my humble opinion. The good thing is that there is tons of information on him, including books, internet sources, etc. The bad part about that is that there is too much information that I find it slightly irritating to have to scroll down hundreds of pages on Google and find one that is not only accurate and reliable; I must find one that I understand. Historians should know that 9th graders are in need of a website that’s written in a manner that they will understand what is being said. Their promotion to the tenth grade is at stake here!! Overdramatic behavior aside, I need to find a good .edu source. I found this website that has what appears to be great information and so I hope my teacher accepts a .org site. I also plan on visiting Barnes and Noble or my sister’s college’s library. I’ve recently added “The Notebooks of Leonardo da Vinci” to my Books I Plan on Buying before I Graduate from High School. It seems like a fascinating book. Then again, these are the notebook entries written by da Vinci himself so I have little faith that my diminutive knowledge on the English language, sciences, and arts will help me read even the first five pages. Anyhow, I will attempt to read it, even if it means inviting a historian or Leonardo scholar to my apartment (with my mom’s permission of course).But my biggest concern is that when I find those three good sources, they won’t help me much. I should’ve known before putting da Vinci as my first choice, and the irony of this in comparison to me is making me chuckle, that he rarely finished what he started. I feel the need to panic now. With this appalling revelation in mind, I conclude this ridiculously long entry. Perhaps I’ll play Temple Run after printing this out. Cheers to the one week break! (Sarcasm slightly intended).
Hehehe hahaha, I can’t believe I
was actually trying to find a clever way to sum up what this “journal entry”
will be about. Sure “A Casual Note on
Today’s Activities” isn’t the cleverest of titles per say, yet it seemed to be
the only simple yet slightly “well-written” title I could come up with. Truth
be told, my head is a bit mushed up with information on Leonardo da Vinci. You
see, I have a global project that I must complete (because I intend to move on
to the tenth grade next year) and so I must complete an annotated bibliography.
I know I should be using the time I am using now to work on my project but I
just needed to let my thoughts out in hopes of liberating myself from this
massive headache I feel will kill my brain cells one by one… figuratively
speaking I hope.
Leonardo da Vinci was my first
choice on people I was hoping to write a biography on for global and so I
honestly am very excited to be doing this project. Yeah… I’m weird. Right,
‘cause no one enjoys writing a three page biography on a person that has long
been dead (bibliography not included). But somehow, I’m looking forward to this
project because I’ve admired da Vinci since the third or fourth grade. Usually
it’s easy to listen to music while I write but I find even that a nearly
impossible task right now (sorry Il Volo, I truly love your music though!). No
doubt this project will have me speaking Italian in the end. Anyways, I
remember doing a project on this man in the third or fourth grade, which has
sparked my interest in the greatest of artists and inventors since then.
Unfortunately, my previous project consisted of more pictures and animations
than actual information, so that won’t be of use.

New Blog... Hopefully It's Better
Key word: hopefully. Oh right, hi. My name is Jacky and this is my second blog. My first one was for school purposes only, but it does have some interesting posts. If you want to check it out it's heyitsjacky.blogspot.com. This blog will be the more interesting one though... I hope. I'll stop babbling and give you a brief introduction to myself.
My name is Jacky Cruz and I'm only a high school student in NYC, the city that never sleeps. Yes that's true, but it depends on the reasons why the person never sleeps. I love writing so I'll be blogging ever so often. Anything else you could just read my bio on the right side of this blog (that's why it's there!). You could also follow my blog and pray that my posts are of some interest to you. If you read this post you must either
a) be curious about what this blog offers
b) be extremely bored
c) know me personally
d) other
e) all of the above
Whatever the reason is, I thank you for reading this nonsense. I appreciate it! :)
