Yeah it's been a minute since I last updated. I really don't know where to bein. Umm...quick highlights are best I suppose:
* Survived not only my Homecoming but also Morehouse/Spelman's....ya girl didn't get much work done.
*Oh yeah...was in Coronation and it was very nice...my lil 5 seconds of fame...lol. Slick Rick, Dougie Fresh, and Biz Markie were at our ball and performed/DJ'd...it was HOT!!
*I've decided to maybe go out for a position on our royal court. But more about that later.
*CLARK ATLANTA UNIVERSITY BEAT MOREHOUSE FOR THEIR HOMECOMING GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hahaha...those negroes were sooooo sure that they were gonna win. Final score 27-21....excellent.
*Classes are mostly good...everything except Accounting and French are going pretty perfect. I'm proud to say that I'm killing things in my major classes.
*MADE THE HONOR ROLL!!!!!!!
*Applied for the Communications National Honor Society Lambda Pi Eta...still waiting to see if I made it or not.
*Decided to attend graduate school as SOON as I graduate. I plan to work as well(of course...gotta make that money). Want to be back home so I'm looking at Howard University, University of Maryland at College Park, and George Washington University.(These are subject to change...still gotta learn a LOT about the graduate process).
* The boy front is pretty slow right now. :-( Being away from certain people who are home is hard and so is crushing on people down here who I can't see on a regular basis. For now it's all a lose-lose situation.
Yeaah...guess that's it. Just wanted ya'll to know that ya girl is still kickin' and breathin'
~Be Blessed~

So let's see what I need to write....
-Friday was the annual AUC Career Fair and I was soooo excited to go. It was pretty successful--I got information about internships I want to go out for. I didn't hand out many resumes but it's okay. Hopefully when I go next year I'll meet some potential employers ya feel me? ;-)
-Friday night my friend Shari asked if I wanted to go the movies w/ her and this guy she's talkin' to cuz he invited some randoms and she didn't wanna be alone w/ them. By the time it was all said and done like..8 of us went to the Magic Johnson Theater to see Roll Bounce. It was a so-so movie....it was like Drumline meets You Got Serves meets Cool Runnings. Before and after I was IM'ing E on my phone. Lord knows I really miss that man. I can't wait to see him...and I really mean that...it's hella annoying to miss somebody so much and think about them so much...it's draining. ;-) But at least we stay in touch which helps out.
-Saturday Shari and I got up early to eat breakfast(even though we didn't get in from the movie until about 3 AM). Then I chilled for a little while and got ready for a football game. WE WON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The final score was like 52-20 or something like that. The band was crunk and even though the Spirit Boosters weren't totally in full force we did our best. I got in from the game and was mad tired so I took a nap. Then Shari ordered a pizza so I went down and ate and kicked it w/ her for a while. Then I got back to the room and chilled until I fell asleep.
-Today I felt lazy so I just slept in...yup...no church for me. :-( Chilled out and know I'm in the library tryna do some work before we have an informal sorority meeting.
So there ya have it!!
Be Blessed....

Yeah, as usual lots to say and not enough time to say it. I really mean that this time. I have a meeting in like...20 minutes so this'll be brief.
-Thursday night I chatted w/ Brandon and it wasn't pretty. Mostly cuz he was already in a foul mood. But apparently he's sporting some hurt feelings and even though I probably should know why, I'm sorta confused. It left me feeling pretty bad. I told E that I'm an evil person. LoL...He made me stop saying that but I really do feel like I've done something horrible but I didn't. I can't help that we never seem to be on the same page at the same time. It sucks but for now that's the way it's gonna be.
-Chatted w/ E for a mad long time on Monday. It's weird how much I feel like I miss him. Lol you'd think it's been sooo much longer than it's really been. Ahh well, all I can do is be patient and wait until I see him.
-This Hurricane Katrina stuff is so depressing and frustrating all in one. I don't have time to go into all of that now.
-Cross your fingers for me ya'll...tomorrow I'll find out if I get to be Ms. Spirit Booster!!!
Ok so...5:00 CAB exec board meeting, 7:00 WSTU meeting, then meeting up w/ a classmate to do Accounting homework. Ahhh...my life is like, so cool huh? ;-) LoL...I know...BOOOOORIIIINNG!!!
Be Blessed Ya'll....

Hello out there to all of my loyal readers!! ;-) Sorry it's been a while since my last update but ya know how I am once a school year begins--busy, busy, busy...
So okay....can't remember where I left off last so forgive me if I repeat myself.
-Thursday was the organizational fair for new freshmen and also my first meeting for Campus Acitivities Board(of which I am Vice President..yay!!) Ummm..so both went well...afterwards some of the Blue&White Family went out to eat at Appliebee's.
-Friday was class, of course, nothing big there, I met up w/ Shari at this salon run by two BLACK men....very nice...and treated myself to getting my eyebrows done....which my mom has been trying to get me to do for the LONGEST time but I was too scared. Luckily the guy did a GREAT job and used a razor instead of wax so there was really no pain involved. Afterwards, my LS's and I decided to go to a NPHC(the governing body for Black Greek frats&sororities) cookout at Georgia Tech. They have a HUGE campus so of course we got lost. Thank God I remembered that I had the number of a peer from high school in my cell phone and she goes there...so I called her up and she helped out a LOT!! It wasn't really poppin' there so we grabbed our food and dipped out back to campus. The Que's were having their annual watermelon bash and a after party...the bash was sorta lame which was the whole reason for us going to GA Tech. Soo..we chilled out for a while then went to eat at Applebee's again(lol...don't ask why) and I had a sip of my LS's Kahlua Mudslide...that thang was pretty good...can't wait until I'm legal! :-( ;-) So theeen...another soror got us all hyped about going to the dern Que party even though I KNEW it would be trouble...and of course...it was.*sighs* Our frat got into an altercation w/ the Que's and they were all ready to fight, blah, blah...it was that bull ish either way.
-Saturday I got up at the ass crack of dawn even though I got in late to do community service for my chapter. There is a housing project up the street and they were having an event for the children so we went to assist. I also went to take pictures because I wanted to be historian(more about that later). There was music and free food and although it was MAD hot we still had fun. Came home, attempted to do work...failed...lol...took a nap. By the time I woke up it was almost time for my Spirit Boosters meeting. Basically, it's a group that raises spirit and keeps the crowd excited during sporting events, mainly football season. That's when I heard that we'd be having a Ms.&Mr. Spirit Boosters and decided that I wanted to go out for the position. Whoooop!!!! Let's hope I get it. :-D We all walked to the game together...it started at 6...first half was hard cuz it was blazing but we had to cheer and be crunks....2nd half was hard cuz while it was much cooler, the heat drained us and we didn't feel like cheering a whole lot. Umm...sadly our team lost. Afterwards I went to the room and chilled and watched Player's Club.
-Sunday I went to chapel service which was very, very moving. After a certain point there weren't too many dry eyes in the place. Came home, cleaned a bit, went to Publix, attempted to work, then got ready for our first chapter meeting of the year for my sorority. It was a quick meeting, nice&direct, ya girl learned that she was appointed to be Historian for our chapter!!!! YAAAAAAAY!!!!! I also volunteered to be our representative for CCO(Council of Chartered Organization). Got home, ordered a pizze w/ my LS Lucretia...watched the VMA's...attempted to study, and actually talked on the PHONE w/ E for 1 hour 55 minutes...lol...I looked at my phone afterwards that's how I know this. I was surprised that he called me back(I called and left him a voicemail about R. Kelly performing that latest chapter in his ghetto soap opera AKA "Trapped in the Closet") but was glad he did. We didn't talk about anything directly deep but I think he knows that I miss him a lot.
-Today I had 4 classes and shockingly I made it through them all without falling asleep. Went to a meeting for WSTU our student radio station which was nice...I'm excited and looking forward to getting more involved in MMA organizations.
Now I'm here in the library trying to finish some work before I head to the room to do some reading and handle CAB business. And there you have it!! *Whew!!* I swear ya'll I'm doing the utmost but I love it.
Be blessed...

Yeah I'm sorry to have to name this entry that but it's true...and notice I said SOME!!! It's just that two of my LS's have been screwed over by guys and it's just not right...they deserved waaaay better. Fellas, if you wanna move on or decide that some other chick is better for you...that's FINE!! Just be man enough to tell your woman and don't lie or bring other chicks around before you tell ya girl things are truly over when you KNOW people are gonna see you and tell your former girl. If you're upfront TRUST that ya girl will be woman enough to handle that shit...TRUST.
Not too much to write about...yesterday was the first day of class and already I have mad stuff going on. But hopefully this semester will be cool.
Saw R outside on the Promenade talking to some girl. Not gonna make a big deal out of it but I did feel strange seeing that. Oh well...
That's all for now...

| Welcome To Atlanta.... |
[22 Aug 2005|10:28am] |
|
Yes, yes, yes ya girl is back in tha ATL...I know...so sad. ;-) Well I have mad stuff to write and don't wanna spend all day doing it ...lol...so let's begin.
Last Tuesday I hung out w/ E but didn't wanna tell my mom so I said I might chill w/ my best friend Phalece later. We went out near Pentagon City and I FINALLY got to see Four Brothers. Wow...that movie is AMAZING...Andre and Tyrese really have acting abilities. I hope they aren't typcast as they try to further their acting careers. Anyway after that we stopped by Best Buy so he could get the Sin City DVD then it was back to his place to chill. I can't remember what we watched but I had fun. Things got a little...umm...intense if you will but never fear...ya girl hasn't completely lost her mind. However, once mommy called and I confessed that I was w/ E I was told to be home before 2 AM....sadly I didn't make that deadline...:-( I wasn't home until welll after 3 AM and of course mommy wasn't pleased w/ that....AT ALL. I didn't get in tooo much trouble but it still wasn't pretty. We only hung out that long cuz we thought it'd be the last time we saw each other before I left for school...how was I supposed to know I'd be wrong. ;-)
Thursday I went up to UDC at say by goodbyes and thank you's to my boss and co-workers. I really didn't think E would be around cuz he had to deal w/ financial aid. But he was...and after finding out about my shopping plans he decided to roll w/ me. I thought that was SOO sweet!!! So we rode the train to Friendship Heights...I bought my royal blue Chucks...finally!!...and some movies from FYE for mommy. He went to the Cingular store and decided to buy that new Moto RAZAR thingie...that's one weird looking fun I swear. Then we went back to UDC and he drove me to Wheaton. Now ya'll, when I say that man stuck w/ me while I shopped...he stuck w/ me!!! Wow...sooo sweet...he just waited outside the store or near the front and played his PSP or just chilled. We ate and then he brought me home. Very nice time indeed...oh yes...while at Wheaton I bought three set of jeans(2 blue, 1 black)..two collared shirts(greeen and brown), and two wife beater type tank tops(blue and black)....so I was pleased.
Packing...traveling...all that jazz was stressful but it's over so no need to write about that. SOOOOOO happy to be back!! Man I had missed my people.
We got in yesterday and after I saw mommy off I chilled w/ the OG's for a while. R called and we talked then I went over there and kicked it w/ him. That didn't last too long. Then I kicked it w/ Shari. By the time the night was over I had a headache and was mad tired so I went to bed. I actually got up early this morning and started doing some more unpacking and straightening up.
Now my schedule is acting loopy so I need to fix that...price books...try to shop for some things...see a man in Admissions who's always lookin' out for Shari and I about a possible job(on campus no less..wah-hoo!!)... chill...and then head to the freshmen talent show tonight..full day!!!
Be blessed ya'll

Wow...when things happen to me ya'll...they HAPPEN.
Well let's not geat ahead of ourselves.
-Friday I hung out w/ E. He "kidnapped" ne again and we went to Wheaton Plaza...um...I didn't buy anything but he got a DVD. Again, we just had fun walking around the mall and looking and stuff. We were SUPPOSED to see Four Brothers but that didn't happen. Afterwards, we went back to his place and chilled. We watched um...Weekends at the DL again and some other stuff. I had a good time and even though I technically wasn't supposed to I didn't get in until waaay after 2...lol...but before 3!! ;-) We talked and E is gonna try and get me earlier next time so I don't stay out so late. He's nice...he doesn't wanna get my mommy mad at him cuz he wants me to be able to still leave my house and chill w/ him. I'm glad he cares, recognizes this, and plans to do things differently. But truth be told, I'm part of the problem too and I know it. I don't be wanting to leave man!!! Haha
-Saturdau I did nothing but read(oh yeah!! Friday I checked out the latest Harry Potter book) cuz the Harry Potter book was addictive and went to church. My LS called to tell me that our jackets are COMPLETE, payed for, and picked up...YAY!!! She's such a sweetheart to do alla this. She also emailed us pictures and that thang is FIYAH!!!
-Sunday is when EVERYTHING hit tha fan!! My day started off by chatting w/ E. Then Brandon IM's me...and we start getting into pretty much everything that has been bothering us...whoa...that was one long and intense conversation. I honestly don't totally know if we accomplished much. I told him what's been in my heart: that I've realized I'm sorta fickle and one minute I really wanna be w/ someone and the next I just wanna be free. THEN, He(okay this person needs a name..umm...let's just call him R)...so yeah, R calles which was like...whoa...poor baby he sounded sick. We talked very briefly but it was still nice. I'll be seeing him soon enough...he goes to Morehouse..so yeah...he'll be nearby. Although he is very busy w/ tennis and all. FINALLY, E IM's me again and we chat until I go to bed. It was a nice convo. He called me a minx..lol...which as he defines, is a women who is aware of her sexuality and isn't afraid to use it or show. Quite flattering...not sure how well that really applies to me...lol...but still nice.
-Today I got up early cuz I had an appointment at Kaiser...ate lunch...now I'm at the library...plan to go to the mall after I stop at home right fast.
And there ya have it!! I leave soon...so much left to do...so little time. ;-)
Be Blessed!!!

[12 Aug 2005|03:42pm] |

Bah...I really don't feel like writing but sorta think I should update this thang.
-Hung out w/ my coworker..hmm...it's time to assign him a a name...let's just call him 'E'. So E called Wednesday while I was at Safeway and asked what I was doing later/ I said I dunno&asked why...he was like he'd call back later once he made plans. So he called around 7 saying that he was going to the mall and asked if I wanted to go. Since the parental was leaving also..and really I wanted to hang with him anyway...I was like yeah. Even though I had a headache. We went to Pentagon City...had fun just looking around...I don't think either once of us bought anything...ate...ran into ANOTHER Walls alum...Zila from '02 for anyone who cares to know. We went my the Waterfront and chilled and talked for a while. Then we went to his place and kicked it there for a while. We watched Be Cool since he remembered that I said I never saw it(even though I wanted to) and knows that I have love for Andre. it's was an aiight movie. I didn't get home until like...2:45. LoL. Interestingly enough, the parental didn't get mad. And this time she knew I was out alone w/ him.
-Concerned cuz I feel and know that things are sorta off between Brandon and I...see the thing is, at times we really don't have to tell each other directly what's going on. I read his journal and he reads mine. Sometimes it's cool..sometimes...it's not. *sighs* I really need to figure out how to handle this before I leave. Above everything else he's my best friend and I'd hate to screw that up.
-He called like...two Tuesdays ago...we didn't talk very long. I have to wonder what'll happen w/ us this year. He has the potential to be a great friend so I'll have to keep ya'll posted on that one.
-I've realized something about myself that isn't so nice. But...I'm tired....so I'll save that for another day.
Smooches!!

Quick update for the masses...
-Got my hair done yesterday so it's straight and a bit shorter. It makes ZERO sense for me to be walking around here w/ a damn press&curl in summer heat but whatever. Also, I hate the way lil old ladies here in DC do my hair...it's soooo much better in ATL.
-Was supposed to have lunch w/ my boss & co-workers but found out once I got up there that she's feeling under the weather.
-Dad's working a nerve...that's all I'll say about that.
More later...gotta try and find a better place to upload some pictures...

Raheem DeVaughn--"Ask Yourself" |
] |
OK ya'll it feels like it's been AGES since I last updated. I think I have a lot to catch ya'll up on so this MIGHT be a long entry...I repeat...this MIGHT be a long entry...Aiight, you've been warned.
-Well my computer at home is broken AGAIN!!! This time it might be really serious. Appaarently I used too much space on my disk drive and it just about f'd everything up. Hopefully...prayerfully...my dad will be able to fix this without me having to lose all my documents that I have saved to the computer.
-Wednesday was the last trip for my job...we took the little angel ;-) to Rehoboth Beach in Delaware. At first I didn't think I wasn't gonna have fun cuz...yeah well...my ladies can figure that reason out. ;-) LoL...Anywayz, I wound up having a good time. I just chilled out on the beach and walked around w/ Eaddy and Shea looking at shops. I saw DC's own Raheem DeVaughn's CD in a shop for only $9.99 so I decided to cop it. Rod said it was good and for a price like that I could afford to get and still possibly hate it. But I don't...it's a GREAT album and I suggest that everyone BUY....C'mon...support a brotha.
-Oh yes...I finally got PAID...Whooop!!! Whoop!! I got 3 out 4 checks all at ONCE...PLUS, I got a refund from the government so a sistah is feeling pretty happy right about now.
-Okay...so...here's the biggest news. I think I have a crush on my co-worker...Arrgh...I promise I didn't set out for that to happen...but I can't help it. I've realized something...there are benefits to liking guys who are older...I mean by more than a year too....cuz he's 4 years older than me...Here's the thing...Although he acts like a big kid sometimes..he acts so sweet,caring,and protective towards/around me...it makes me melt everything. Little things too..like..the way he stroked my face one time..or...the first time he drove me home it was raining. Even though I had an umbrella he gave me his jacket. I've observed him with the young daughter of one of the teachers and he's so gentle with her...and it's rare that I've seen a man interact with a child and seem like he enjoys it. Umm...yeah..so I dunno what to think about this one. I was gonna write more but..umm...I think I'mma keep some things for myself. LoL..
-Friday was the last day of the job and I realized that despite my complaints....and frustrations...I really am gonna miss those kids. They have potential..most of them just don't know it. I had to make a speech at the program and although I didn't really write it until that morning...it came together nicely. Afterwards my co-worker "kidnapped" me and we went to his house. I was uncertain about that at first...I had a feeling we were going there but he wanted to be all secretive. But I still had a nice time. We watched a D.L. Hughley comedy show and Weekends on the DL on Comedy Central and then some of that movie...umm...the name escapes me....with Cedric the Entertainer,Bow Wow, Solange Knowles, and Vanessa Williams... it seems sorta corny though.
-Yeah well...I gotta use my time wisely...I'm on a computer at the library. I'll write more later.
Peace!!

Lauryn Hill feat. Mary J. Blige--"I Used to Love Him" |
] |
Well lots of interesting things have happened lately so I'm gonna try and get ya'll updated in a little bit of time....gotta get ready for church soon.
So Thursday I implied to one of my co-workers that he should take me to see Charlie & Chocolate Factory but I was mostly joking. So of course he was like "Naah." LoL...I acted like my feelings were hurt and that was that. Then that night he IM'd me and was like "Wear something extra cute tomorrow cuz we're going out." So of course I was like "Tha hell?" Hahaha...but I decided to roll w/ him anyway. We went to a nice theater out in VA. The movie was actually pretty good....LOTS better than I thought it would be which is saying a lot. We went to Best Buy cuz he needed to buy a DVD and we ran into another Walls alum(oh yeah...my co-worker also graduated from SWW...isn't that special ;-) ) So yeah...if any of my Penguins read this we ran into Tommy Taylor. He still looks the same...just older...gained a lil bit of weight.
Afterwards he drove me through his "hood" that being Southeast DC and since I'm a Northwest chick ya KNOW I don't mess around w/ Southeast all like that. LoL...it was cool. We stopped by Anacostia Park which was really pretty and chilled there.
He's a really cool guy...and aside from that fact that he drives CRAZY fast...he's mad fun to hang out with.
Saturday mommy and I got a late start but went to the Stone Soul picnic at RFK stadium...it was pretty fun...glad it wasn't any hotter than it was...heard Morris Day &the Times perform...only saw two people I know. Stopped at Safeway for food....talked to Shari...ate...mommy started opening my hair...got hella tired and was sleeping while she did this. crashed the moment I hit the bed.
And here we are at Sunday morning. I woke up early and felt very alert so I decide to eat some cereal and get online. The rest of today probably won't be exciting but if I'm wrong...I'll write about it!
My cousin's wife had her baby(I wrote that they were expecting a few entries ago)and they now have a little girl. I know my uncle is THRILLED to be a grandfather. :-D.
Umm....the LAST trip for my job(Thank ya Lord!!) will be to a beach in Delaware on Tuesday. The closing program will be Friday. Still have no paycheck. :-(
I'll be heading back to the 'A' soon...although I'm very nervous and already quite stressed about classes....I am looking forward to being back at school....with my people.
Yeeaahh.....so guess that's all...'til the next time...
Be Blessed!

Okay so today I had lunch with my father. We went to this Jamaican restuarant that we both love called Negril. I got the curried shrimp as usual(I've yet to try anything new from there) and he got the ox-tail which is quite possibly one of the nastiest things I've EVER heard of. I'm writing about the lunch mainly because it was soo interesting....my dad and I sorta talked....and I mean talked off some real shit which is quite rare.
-He slyly asked/implied about my boyfriend...which...of course I don't have. But it was surprising that he asked. He wants me to tell him when I do get one so he can meet the lucky guy and tell me if he "approves"
-After talking about my siblings a lot he mentioned that we'll try to all get together before I head back to school. He mentioned that "something" has been preventing that from happening before. Hmm...I wonder if that "something" is his wife. I've considered that and if she is the reason...I guess I sorta understand. She doesn't have to like me or want me around her children. I'm like the black sheep child from the OTHER woman. *rme* I really hope I'm wrong though.
-I learned that my father doesn't care for guys with cornrows or who wear their pants extremely baggy. I can understand that POV.
-My sister will be 14 next week and will be starting HIGH SCHOOL at Montgomery Blair. Awww...high school....I'm so excited for her and my cousins....high school can be a great time. I also learned that my brother plays the trumpet and wants to wear his hair long...the VERY way my father despises....hahaha.
'Kaaay...I suppose that's all for now.
Until I rant and rave again....ya'll be easy.

'Sup loyal readers?
When ya girl last left ya she was awaiting a trip to Baltimore w/ her job. It was alright--nice to visit the Great Blacks in Wax Museum again,although I really wish they could get the funding the deserve to expand....Morgan was nice...I am always amazed at how nice the campus is--HUGE,but really nice. Sadly, I didn't get to see Chevaun which had me down for a while. Had lunch at the Inner Harbor...spent way too much on some dern icecream cuz I forgot to ask the price.
I got home afterwards I didn't feel like taking a bus from the station to my house so I walked. It wasn't outrageously hot so I didn't mind. Even still,I was soo tired when I approached my house. As I entered the apt. bldg. my cellie rings and who is it? Robert wanting to chill. Damn. We were 'posed to hang out Thursday when I actually felt like it. But I decided to go along with it because I promised myself that I'd be nice. So he picked me up and we chilled in his room and watched the second Harry Potter film. It was nice...he treated me to food from the carryout so I can't complain. He's calmed down TREMENDOUSLY so I can actually be in his presence w/out wanting to kirk out.
Friday night was a horrible,horrible storm which is why I woke up Saturday morning to limited power. So of course that was an irritation. No matter, I was outta the house pretty early in the day because I kicked it w/ Brandon. We had fun as usual...saw two films semi back to back(had about an hour break in betweem)....first it was Fantastic Four which I really enjoyed...then Batman Begins which I really did like except it starte to feel...so...long!!! Oh my gosh the last 45 minutes or so were TORTURE!
Got home and underestimated what it would mean to have no power at NIGHT time...lol. It wasn't too bad and luckily I was tired so I went to bed pretty soon.
Woke up this morning to POWER!!(Thank ya Lord!!). Went to church w/ mommy to get our praise on....stopped at Safeway for some H2O and other items...came home and basically chilled. There was a brief scare when the power went off twice but it's back on strong now.
Been in slightly irritated mood since late last night...like there's a tension in my body that gets my defenses up quickly and makes me wanna kirk. Hopefully I'll keep that in check tomorrow w/ the students--their teacher will be gone all week so I get to deal w/ the little angels almost on my own...yay! *rme*
The End!

Bow Wow feat. Ciara--"Like You" |
] |
Ya'll I TOTALLY forgot to explain the title of my the post I just made!! Wow, I'm wildin'..... ;-)
Aiight so this past Saturday my mom was pretty much planning my life like she does from time to time. And according to her lil' timeline within 10 years I'll be married and have at least one child. While I found it amusing at the time...because she was like "I hope my grandchild will be more open to doing things than their mother was."....which is true...I fight her on sooo many things that wind up being good for me that it's sorta sad. LoL.
Anywhoo....after thinking about it more....it was a scary thought to a degree. I mean...I'm 20...it's becoming more realistic for me to think about marriage and having a family of my own. Even though I don't know when I'll be ready for all that...it's a very real possibility at this point. But I think I'll welcome it. All the drama and emotions of dating...talking to someone...having crushes..all that stuff is bound to tire me out at some point.
BTW, this lil Bow Wow&Ciara song is pretty cute...catchy....even if they do make an odd looking couple. Hahaha...
Okay...now....THAT is all folks!!! ;-)

Dru Hill--"Never Make A Promise" |

My title is speaking to the real reason why I wanted to update but that'll have to wait a bit.
-Today was a nice day on the j-o-b. My play sister Ugonma came by and chilled w/ me. That made me sooo happy because there is FAR too much male energy at my job and it's anoying sometimes. I'm learning more about guys than I ever wanted. LoL. I pretty much know when they're gonna stare at a chick's ass before they do so.... TMI!!! Dayum!!
But I digress....so I chilled w/ Ugonma and the MOMENT I was able to leave...I got up out that biatch. My students have been truly irking me lately so I needed that time. We walked to the Coldstone Creamery on Connecticut Ave. where I got to see Phalece!!! It was great seeing my homie since it's been a while. Then we took the train home.
-Yesterday I got REALLY annoyed with the students...I mean I really wanted to cuss somebody's child out. They have the potential....they're just so damn lazy...and lack the motivation and dedicated needed to bring them success now. Hopefully, they'll learn these lessons sooner rather than later. So I went to the office and just chilled w/ my co-workers...I didn't leave UDC until like..a lil after 7 PM.
-Tuesday was the boatride trip on the Spirit of Washington. I had a nice time...the food was lots better than it was in the past. I almost got in trouble for freakin' w/ one of my co-workers. *blushes* I really wasn't doin' a whole lot...I sorta resent that it went noticed...I mean hell ALL those students were doing FAR worse. Oh well...LoL. I asked one girl if she had more fun at the boatride than at the Trinity party and she said no because they played more go-go at the Trinity party. I think that's why I enjoyed myself so much!! I like listening to go-go and all but I really hate dancing to it. I also realized at that moment that for a lot of these kis NOTHING we do will please them. One girl got an attitude today because she felt we were "always telling them stuff at the last minute." Cuz we told them that we were leaving at 7:45 AM tomorrow for a trip....is it really that deep??!!? I mean c'mon...but apparently this chick is a compulsive complainer....a horrible trait she picked up from her mom so what are ya gonna do? Just deal I suppose.
-I'm amped cuz tomorrow we go to Baltimore to the Blacks in Wax museum and a tour of Morgan State University. My cousin Chevaun graduated from there in '03 and is now employed there...she's also in a graduate program at Towson University, the school my mommy attended for a while. So I'll probably get to see her while I'm on campus.
-Spending Saturday with Brandon which is great....going to see 2 movies and just chill out...should prove to be an interesting time.
That's All Folks!!!

Boys II Men--"Down on Bended Knee" |
] |
and since I'm sooo sure you wanna hear about them I'm going to fill you in. ;-)
~Friday was the aforementioned TRiO Day Competition at Lincoln University. It was....interesting. LoL. My students didn't do as well as any of us would have hoped. However, it was most definitely expected so who can really complain. I just hope that this teaches them to take things more seriously and have some dedication. I saw my friend Q up there who used to go to Walls for a while. So that was nice. Umm...got home at like...10-ish and was DEAD tired. I mean, really, it should be illegal to be so sleepy,tired, and downright drained. So I got home and got in BED...but...I couldn't sleep yet cuuz...
~While I was at Lincoln my LS texted me to let me know that she found a frat in Savanah,GA who can do our line jackets for what I consider to be a reasonable price. So she called me later that night to fill me in some more on that and just basically to catch up. So after talking to her I wasn't so tired so I watched an episode of Girlfriends and then went to bed.
~Saturday morning mommy got me up earlier than I typically like to be up because she had made breakfast and....*fanfare* our internet was working again!!!!!! And SHE fixed it!!!!! I was like go mommy!! So I got on for a while before we ate and felt so loved&appreciated. LoL. I exaggerate but it was great to be back online and I chatted w/ some of my people. I talked to Q briefly who was all amped cuz Lincoln's UB program won on Friday :-(,my LS Siobhan which was great,and Rod&D who I just had to let know just who excited I was to be back in the loop. :-D I also talked briefly to my LS Cretia after a brief game of telephone tag ;-) but it was great to hear her voice&catch up for a minute.
~After a fairly late start mommy and I headed out to the Carter Barron for a......DRIVING LESSON!!! Whoo!!! I did pretty good. Even tho I ran up on a curb in my attempt to make a left turn. I don't have to tell ya'll that that lil incident scared the shit outta me. But I moved on and did lots better before and after that lil situation. I didn't do nearly as bad as this Spanish woman who REALLY f'd up her man's car. I mean...damn...they car was a hot mess.
~Afterwards, we went home and had bowls of cereal and watched Janet Jackson's 'Rhythm Nation' before heading to the 5:30 mass at church. Saw the guy KC again and this time he was w/ Gerald. I was in the Junior Sodality w/ both of them during high school and they could be sooo silly. But they manage a shoe store on the Ave. together and were both pushing very nice cars that I bet were their own. KC still looks very good to be. *smh* Gracious...I dunno whether I should wanna go to that mass all the time so I can see him or attend service on Sunday so I don't see him. Siiike...I joke....but he is cute. Plus, he told my mom that he could hook me up w/ a discount.Sooo he just might have to be my new best friend. ;-) LoL.
~After church we drove past the national headquarters for my sorority...it's under construction as is slated to be done by the middle of this month...I dunno about that yo..it still seems so unfinished...but what do I know. Then we went by the Carter Barron again because there was a free concert going on. At first I really did NOT wanna go but it turned out to be very nice. The only pieces they played that I recognized was the theme from Jaws and pieces from The Wizard of Oz.
~Today...well...let's see. Woke up late&ate breakfast around 1. Watched Rosemary's Baby which is a weird but interesting movie. Texted w/ my LS again to finalize stuff about our jackets which are now officially ordered!!!! Stuck getting my hair done for Tuesday's boat ride. Sadly, that means I can't chill w/ Brandon as we both had hoped :-( But alas,there is still time.
~Oh yeah,FINALLY signed the paperwork needed to get PAYED but those $$$'s might not be in for a while. :-(
Okay..welll...I reckon that's all...if not...I'll have to add it later.
Be blessed!!

Okay so since I'm here at work and pretty much ain't NOBODY really here(student wise...but only 2 of my co-workers are here either) I figure I'll post a lil bit.
~Last night was a part at Trinity College for the Upward Bound students. At first I ain't wanna go cuz I was like "What I look like partyin' w/ some damn high schoolers" But it was pretty straight. I had fun and looked pretty cute if I say so myself. I notice that times haven't really changed--girls still don't really dress up for parties and I still do....LoL. I still maintain that I ain't tryna wear no regular clothes to a party. Annnywayz, we have another party next week which is gonna be on a boat. The boat ride is always, ALWAYS off tha frickin' chain. Sooo I'm actually sorta excited.
~I'm pissed cuz my comp is still actin' stupid and this is like week 2 of not having internet at home. That ain't kosher...I'm goin' through withdrawals. On a good note, I've had my baby(my cell phone...LoL) for about a week now which is great. I gotta be good though and not completely exhaust my minutes.
~Brandon IM'd me while I was riding home...he bugged me some more...so it appears that I'mma break down and speak my piece. I mean I do get tired of keeping shit inside..so yeah...what's there to lose?
~My students are sooo funny. When I first came up to the building where the party was at they were all like "Ooooh" & "Kourtney think she grown with that tight dress and those heels"(that one is sorta accurate...I am 20...I can be grown&sexy if I wanna...lol) & one boy was like "I don't think you can be counselor anymore"
~We leave for the TRIO day competition at Lincoln University in Pennsylvania tomorrow at the ass crack of dawn. ;-) Well we leave UDC at like 5:30 and then go to Anacostia station to pick up the Southeast folks around 6 and then off we go!!!! I dunno how well the students will do but I'm still excited.
Yeaaah...guess that's it.
Until the next time....be cool peeps.
