Yeah I'm back!

Everything has been good.  I'm just busy, that's a gift and a curse in itself.  Spring Break is fastly approaching THANK YOU GOD!!!!  Valentine's Day was OK, I've had better.  I didn't have a "valentine", but I did have a "boo", we spent that latter part of the evening with each other.  I really like this guy. 

 Ladies, have you ever just wanted to have sex with someone, but for WHATEVER reason you just couldn't? I kept telling myself "Be a nigga and just do it!", but I really like this guy he's different.  I get a good vibe from him, I would like for him to be around for a while....let's give him a nickname, let's call him....Sharkbait! 

Really the entire point of me writing this blog was to make this point....

I hate it when guys (1) say where is your man/bf at?  If I really answered that question, they wouldn't know how to react! Sharkbait did something to that nature, he asked me, "What you got planned for tonight? Strip tease for your boyfriend?  Clearly he knows I don't have a b/f so why ask!? That bugs me!  And (2) I hate it when a guy keeps charming you, but you've already made up your mind that he can get it, but he keep saying corny ish.  After I told Sharkbait that I'm spending the evening with my Elmo and homework and I wish that I had a boyfriend on V-Day, he then "wooed" me by saying, "You Wish? Don't play, you're showing that 'pretty skin tone' to somebody tonight."  That just made me laugh.  THE GAME WAS WACK!  LOL

So my question to both the ladies and men is why do men ask where your boyfriend is at when you know GOOD AND DARN well she doesn't have someone? 

Take care of yourselves!

WOOOOOOO, It's been awhile.

How is it going with everyone? Things have been great thus far.  A lot of ups, a lot of downs....more ups than downs, but I have been EXTREMLY blessed this past semester.  I worked all of last semester, I started off at Publix, I didn't like the managment there (I tried to deal with them though, don't think that I just threw in the towel the 1st time they did something that I didn't agree with), then I moved on to Macys.  That lasted about a month, but the managers there kept taking my days off and not giving me my requested days off (that I told them I ABSOLUTELY needed off when they hired me), and while working at Macys, I applied for a job at AirTran.  I got the job, so I'll be starting that job up in about two weeks!!!!! I'm flying high no lie you know this!!!! lol  I'm really looking foward to starting work at this job, and keeping the job.  I was telling my mom that I need to quit "job hopping", and have a steady job for a while, AirTran should help me do that, not to mention I FLY FREE to everywhere AirTran flies....I'm going to the Bahamas!!!!!

I've also decided to transfer.  Hopefully in the upcoming school year, I will be a student at the ILLUSTRIOUS Howard University!  Attending Howard is a lifelong dream of mine.  I had to defer my dream b/c my parents wanted me to stay in GA and go to school.  And like an obidient child, I stayed in state.  Now that's not to say that I do no like/love Savannah State, I can't stop saying enough good things about SSU.  But, I have to go for what I want for once in a lifetime.  I guess I'm stepping into my womanhood, slowly but surely.  I have so many mixed feelings about tranferring.  I'm so involved here at SSU and SSU has molded me into the makings of a woman (I'm not ALL the way there yet, lol!).  It will be a bittersweet divorce, but SSU and I will always be good friends...I've experienced so many things here that I will always standout to me and have a special place in my heart.  I'm also really anxious to get to HU and see what it has in store for me.  I know that I will have more rough times in DC than I do here in Savannah, because I will be paying for my tution by myself (I'm on my grown woman ish!). But I know that the end of my tenure at HU it will be worth it...I will have a degree in something that actually is a passion for me. 

Currently, I am majoring in Biology.  It's not hard at all, just uninteresting.  I go to class everyday, and ask myself, "Why are you majoring in this? You know you don't like it.", but given the major choices at SSU, Biology is the only major that is closely related to my career path, Physical Therapy.  I've never wanted to go to SSU (although I LOVE IT!!) and I've never wanted to major in Biology.  I always wanted to leave and go to school elsewhere, like Howard, FAMU, Spelman and major in Allied Health Sciences.  That's something that I can come to live with......

Anywho, that is more than enough of my rambling....classes started this week.  I am yet again stuck with a bunch of Middle Eastern and Asian teachers.  Nothing against them and their intelligence, but I can never understand what the hell they are saying.  That really leaves a huge communication gap b/w the student and the teacher.  And some of these foriegn speaking teachers have the audacity to cop an attitude, when you ask them to repeat what they've just said.  It's not that their not audible, you just can't decipher their words....that really infuriates me...SSU really needs to invested in American professors just for the sake of the commuication gap that students and teachers have.

I've gotta go buy books and go to DA WAL-MART!!!!  I'll be back some months from now, lol!

God Bless you all!

- Spend the Night (Ce Soir)

So my life has begun once again.  I've been back in Savannah for about two weeks now.  The biggest complaint? It's hot as HELL!  Litterally, HELL.  Go ahead and get right with God because Savannah is a good indication of what it's going to feel like,lol.  I'd like to give a BIG shout out to my mommy!  I'm soooo extra proud of her!  I failed to mention that my mom graduated from Mercer University this past Spring.  She recieved her Bachelors of Science in Middle Grades Education!!!  Why does that mean so much to me?

1. She put off going to school because she had a husband, 2 kids, and a household to run.

2. Mercer University is a TOPPED ranked Liberal Arts university, not to mention it ain't cheap!

3. She worked really hard and persevered despite what the devil through her way, she kept God first and kept her eye on the prize!

4. She graduated Summa Cum Laude!

That's why I'm so proud, now, she has her OWN classroom with wonderful students.  And everything that God has bestowed upon her life, she deserves it.  She went to night school at a 2-year college and got her Associates.  There would be nights where it was just me and my brother (some nights my dad would be at the fire station).  We'd have to feed ourselves, and I wasn't but 13.  That taught me how to be independent and how to do things for myself.  Soon, my brother and dad became dependent on me to cook (which I didn't mind).  My mom would've graduated in 2005, but when she got her associates, she transferred to Georgia State and they messed her up and ended up getting set back a year.  She also attended school year round, I think she may have taken about 2 or 3 summer semesters off.  I'm too proud of my mommy!!!

So, life at SSU is good overall.  I'm doing the apartment living this year, their on campus.  It's pretty nice.  Except I have these people who live upstairs and absolutely INSIST that they dance, and I end up hearing the ruckus.  Yeah, I cussed that ass out though!  Me and my boyfriend broke up.  FOR GOOD THIS TIME!  I guess we were trying to hold on to something that God said was over.  Can't outdo God, if you can tell me what your secret is so that I don't follow YOUR route.  My classes are good.  This semester I am taking CHEM, HUMN (critical thinking), ENGL, and MATH (calculus I).  If anyone is good in chemistry hit me up! ASAP, my professor is from China, and do not understand much of what he says.  Everything he writes down on the board goes on a piece of paper, not to mention we have a HORRIBLE book (don't you hate that?).  My critical thinking teacher is crazy, she ain't on no Gnarls Barkley type ish, she's crazy FOR REAL! My english teacher insists on wearing these black combat boots with black athletic socks, it's not a good look, she's way too pale for that.  My math teacher is cool, he's funny, and a really good teacher, they say he's one of the best in the dept. so I'm glad I lucked up on that. 

I think I've depleted my mind of all that I wanted to say, I'll holla at you people later!!!

Oh yeah, Facebook me! DISCLAIMER: Yes, that is a cigarette in my mouth, No I do not smoke. I was acting like a mechanic.

Take Care & Jah Bless,

On to other things....to finish summing up my freshman year.  My track season sucked, I did not compete due to medical reasons, and I was red shirted.  But, I can say that I did learn a lot traveling with the team and watching other teams compete.  I had the dumbest roomate EVER! I mean really.  She has a boyfriend that insists on calling when he feels the need to, not caring about me having to get up at 5:20am for 6am practice.  And to me, she has her priorites all wrong.  Poor thing, she things being a Alpha Angel, will allow her to be a AKA.  I'm glad I talked her out of that, plus she's seen what being apart of an organization like that will do to your repuation on our campus.  But yeah, she's pretty dinky.  Loud, rude, obnoxious, not very smart.  Makes me wonder why colleges allow dumbasses to get degrees. 

This past week has been very tumultuous (sp).  I had to take my brother to get his 1. Birth Certificate, 2. Social Security Card, and 3. His license.  This boy lost all three.  And my parents were not going to help him get another of the three.  But, I stepped up and said I would take him.  And, let me tell y'all how he thanked me.  By showing his ass and cussing me out.  I had to seek Jesus, because if I had've let my flesh do the talking.  I'd heading straight to the State Pen!  Sooooo, now I have strep throat. This is the worst thing EVER!!!!  It's so painful, and you can't do anything about it but let it run it's course.  I've been bed ridden for a week.  I'm hoping that I'm feeling better by Tuesday, because my folks are LEAVING and I got the house to MYSELF!  Hell, I need a vacation from them, lol.  But seriously, me and my girl have some big plans for next week.  Her slavemaster (Target) has given her some much needed time off, and we are about to DO ATLANTA! FILA.  I want some chocolate milk.... Back to the subject at hand. 

I'm excited about the National Black Arts Festival this year.  It's coming up next week as well.  Maybe I can find me somebody to take me there and just spend the day there.  It's so awesome to me to be apart of the African American Diaspora.  I love going to Underground Atlanta and seeing what the vendors are selling.  I might take my little cousin on Tuesday and let her see some art since she wants to be an artist. 

Ok, I'm rambling now....time to go get back in the bed!

Jah Bless!
