Good News! and.. bad. (update at the end)

Good News: I've been getting some of my grades and surprisingly they are nottt what I expected at all. I pulled an "A" in calc thank god and somehow I pulled a "B" in history... after not showing up to about... 70% of the classes... but heyy-- I DEF studied reallllly hard for that final! Shoutout to Eug who kept me on track studying for finals!


Sooooooooooooo, like I said in my last post, I got my hair cut on thursday...

I like it, I feel like it's not that big of a change... but it def is shorter than what it previously was. Maybe I'll post some more up later that are better lol.

On to the bad news...

Sooooo, apparently my cousin (thankssss Michael) TOLD MY FATHER ABOUT MY TATTOO WHOM I HAVE NOT TOLD YET AND (I WAS PLANNING TO eventually) I HAVE TO COME BACK TO HIS HOUSE IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS FOR THE REST OF THE BREAK AND HE'S GONNA (probably already is) BE PISSED AT ME BECAUSE HE FOUND OUT FROM SOMEONE ELSE.... ughhhhhh.

NOT a good look right now........... whyyyyyyyyyy Michael?!?!

I mean, he probably thought that pops already knew.... but stiiillll. isn't that like a RULE of thumb that you DON'T mention drugs, alcohol, sex, tattoos, boyfriends, girlfriends, piercing, etccccc (did i miss any?!?) to the parents because its a LARGE POSSIBILITY that they DON'T know about them?!

Blah.

It's snowing. Maybe I'll go build a snow angel to get my mind off of my future ass whoopping.

WHAT A RELIEF.

I'm home again.

I got home Tuesday afternoon. Home being the 612 area of course. It's been so long.

I had mixed feelings about coming back. I find comfort in my beloved South Minneapolis, but at the same time, being here feels like a whole bunch of down time... aka not being productive.

Luckily, I can use this time to do something productive which is scout out fundraising ideas for the upcoming semester. I'm more than determined to have it be successful.. and freakin FUN at the same time... [Content removed. I take it back, and I in no way meant it to shit talk.]

Anyways... I haven't done much yet, considering I've been here all but 48 hours yet... but one thing I shouldn't have done... was tell my mom about my tattoo!! YIKES is all I can say. She's calmed down a bit now... but man, she even CRIED. Sighhhh... notttt really something I wanna watch my mom do. She pretty much said it was stupid. Ah well... atleast it's hidden. LOL. And the fact that I love it, so it doesn't really bother me. It just sucks she hates it so much.

Tomorrow i get my hair cut.

Pic's to follow.

I'm feeling daring. OR not lol.

Just a trim is in order I think... but who knows.

I'm gonna have to think of some interesting ways to keep myself occupied over this break becase so far, i'm bored outta my mind... AND BROKE!

All for now.

Shawtay want a drank drank drankkk

These were the words of the middle aged man @ the Hookah Bar I was studying at last night.

And he repeated to say the same line- over and over and over, about every 3-5 minutes for the whole entire night.

Good thing I was feeling good. Cuz any other night I would have been like...

can you PLEASE do u all a favor and learn the rest of the damn song or STFU? hahah.

but it was QUITE hilarious, so I let it rockk.

Last night was probably one of THE most weird nights of studying I've ever had in my life.

It all started @ Panera... moved to the Hookah bar... and then.. Dunkin Donuts... all within 12 hours of the day. Sighhhhh. I hope I did well on that test. Cuz I definitely studied my ass off for it.

Anywho... no tests until monday, so I'm off to procrastinate once again until the eve of that test comes again...

oh and btw; 

life, life is confusing.

aren't i pretty? and if so, then can i have yo numba?

lmao. that was shallow.

Ressurection

Hmm... well, where to begin? It's been what.. 5 months since my last post?

There are so many things that I could talk about, but you'd probably need 5 months to read it!

Here's just a recap of my life in the last 5 months:

1. Started @ St. John's University
2. My momma got engaged
3. Featured in the Queens Tribune as Model of the Week
4. Joined the Co-ed Business Fraternity: Alpha Kappa Psi
5. My aunt passed away. RIP Aunt Betty <3
6. Got elected as Fundraising Coordinator for the Spring '08 semester for AKPsi

So yeah... lot's has been going on... both good and bad. And here I am now, at the end of the semester WISHING and HOPING that God will look over me as I attempt to pass my classes... since as you can see my semester has been nothing short of very intense...

It's going to be a long night... but once it's all over-- I'm coming home to MN!!!! It's been toooo long 612! I miss you!!!

Entirely new journey

It seems as though I have a moment to breathe, and with that, I bring you a post.

It's been a while since I've had any time to just sit and write. Something I really enjoy doing.

Anyways... so, I'm going to MN tomorrow... and am I excited? HELL YEAH I am! I haven't visited since May and man does it feel like an eternity ago. I have honestly needed this "vacation to my home" so badly recently.. as I have been feeling very stressed and at times very down because things havent exactly been what I'd like them to be.

But the good news is, they sort of are now!

I mean... when I think about it, I have so much going for me right now... 

I have the opportunity to attend college and get an education, which I am very eager to move right along!

I have some amazing people in my life whom I don't know what I would do without sometimes... it's good to have a support system.. even if it's just one person, having someone there you can count on is a huge deal.

I am currently working at American Apparel and I MUST admit that it's been stressful working there-- buttttt I have been working to transfer to another store since my store will be much too far to commute to, and I got the transfer!! So I will now be working at the Upper East Side location :) Comeeeee visit me!

I dunno.. I mean, there are a lot of things on my mind and things that are not exactly ideal in my life-- but I'm turning a new leaf. 

Starting my entirely new journey to St. Johns and hope this journey turns out more successful than the last.
