A Day in the Life of a Master(s) of Education

October 1) had the flu 2) solved some problems 3) found out sister's getting married November 1) Got a tattoo 2) Got a piercing 3) Got fired from a job 4) Had a birthday 5) Much needed break 6) Reunited with old friends 7) Back at school preparing for finals 8) End of fall crew season December 1) Got my job back 2) Finals 3) Back home till January 4) Winter training for crew 5) Sister's Wedding in foreign country 6) Seeing people I love That should hold you over until like May for real because college just got a hell of a lot harder and therefore I am running out of time......Blink and you'll miss it until next post (whenever that may be) Smooches

Hahaha with Halloween quickly approaching, I guess people are up for running games and playing tricks on people. Case in point a friend of mine(yes a real friend not I) has be hanging out with these guys. Real chill guys, the big brother type....or so she thought. She gets drunk at a party with them and then ends up making out w/ one of those guys...next thing you know rumors are flying that she has slept with the guy...when she tracks down the source it's none other than the guy...worst of it all she was so distraught by the situation that she approached the guy & friends to receive a males' opinion on what to do...boy was she hoodwinked, bamboozled, & led astray. She wouldn't have thought he was behind it all, even though they've known each other for only a year. She felt a little bad about making out w/ him because she didn't want to lead him on....however who really is to blame here? The young lady because she got so drunk she put herself in a stupid and...

Sometimes I just wonder if I will ever get things right...for instance I have put myself in a situation that I can't see myself out of...sad thing is I do this type of stuff all the time...when will I learn, maybe after I have don't irrefutable damage to my mind, soul, body, and spirit. I don't want it to get that bad and I don't want to chalk it all up to inexperience but what are my other options? I hate to continue with the depressing mood but it sorta helps to get out in the atmosphere, maybe "karma" will help me to fix the situations or help me see a clear path to solutions...I don't know something is better than nothing...on that note....until next post laters smooches

Wow can you believe it's been 6 weeks into the semester already, I couldn't until my teachers reminded me of the midterm papers and test I had due this week....technically I am on my fall break right now (big deal its only 3 days) so I shouldn't be doing any work ...but because I have set high standards for myself this semester I am getting all my papers done this weekend. I have been bojangling but not totally I at least started them, now I got to finish them....lol...whatever I might as well since my roommate and most of my friends are gone...I have no real excuse or distractions so as soon as I finish this post I'm going to start on my papers.....that being said until next post, smooches laters

So this weekend was supposed to be one of the hottest parties this year right?? Well it all started off that way, until ignorant black folks want to start stupid stuff with each other. It started off so innocent, people where dancing up a storm, sweating perms out, getting phone numbers, see friends they don't get to see because they spend most of the week in their room/apt doing work trying to survive the college life. Next thing you know, people arguing, then comes the punches, and the slaps....not to long after that?? you know they had to call the BBurg police on us Negroes, because for some reason we just can not control ourselves. If is just been one fight...maybe they would have just put the people out, everybody else would have just laughed and we would have went back to the fun time we were having. But that would have been too easy, one fight started off a chain of fights and next thing you know people are brawling right in front of me and I can't move because I might g...

Where oh where has my time gone?? I feel like life is passing me by sometimes and I'm not even realizing. I was just reading a blog by this Jamaican girl named Gina who goes to FAMU. She kinda interest me because we have similarities, such as the fact that we are both Jamaican, the whole college thing was a big move for us, and sometimes we are just trying to figure out who we are, here's her page if you wanna check out what she has to say, http://tallytourist.blogspot.com , hopefully that link worked. Anyway reading her blog kinda made me feel like I had been neglectful lately, I mean I have finally gotten on top of my romantic and academic life, but are the decisions I have made good for me? I feel so stupid because I don't know what I am doing, but in the back of my mind I can hear my bro saying that I'm not supposed to know yet, it's all a part of growing up. Honestly just because you know that things are supposed to happen this way, that this is all a part of l...

Ok so it has been a while so I'm just gonna give a brief update 1) VT Football 2-0 2) Another tattoo 3) Working on getting a car 4) Going great w/ classes 5) VT Crew 06 (VARSITY BABY!!!!!) That's just about it....until next post Laters....smooches

Ok so my first day of classes was pretty eventful after all but it had nothing to do with me.....there was a killer on the loose in little old blacksburg...now in case you not from the area.... blacksburg is a small town type...so when there is a murderer on the loose...the WHOLE TOWN SHUTS DOWN, I mean you couldn't do a damn thing, there was to be no leaving the office for lunch, no leaving your dorm for classes because they were all cancelled, no letting people in the buildings, no grocery shopping, hundreds of State police, VT police, Blacksburg police, damn near the whole force is out looking for the guy....being from the city this was nothing new to me but I couldn't figure out what all the damn excitement was about...and it didn't really benefit me, I mean by the time that they cancelled classes I had already had my two for the day so I had to stay in my dorm room even though I had a million errands to run...it really pissed me off, but it is all over now they found t...

Today is officially my first day as a VT SOPHOMORE.....with only 2 classes but still plenty of things to do....wish me luck because I have a new attitude....yeppers I am ready to start the year off right no bull-crap...no drama...great classes...great grades....great life...VT here I come let's go HOKIES!!!!!!!

Ok loyal readers, it is time for the pre-school post-summer wrap-up kinda reflection thing....hahahaha that was pretty long...now down to business...I got my heart ripped out of my chest, spited on, shitted on, and shoved right back in, ok enough about the negative stuff...I got a promotion at work, I patched up some broken relationships, and even had the chance to go on a few dates...I think this summer has been a really big growing period for myself. I actually like the how I learned my lessons because I probably couldn't have or rather wouldn't have learned the lesson any other way. I like the fact that I have a stronger sense of who I am and how I react under pressure. I think the lessons I have learned will come in handy w/ this up and coming school year because I have a much tougher skin than before...I WILL NOT BE EATEN ALIVE!!!! hahahaha oh boy I an woman hear me roar I think I have been watching way too much "Sex and the City"

Back to school time...in 20 days I'll be back to the reality of Tech...I am so excited...because it means back to friends time and BACK TO SCHOOL SHOPPING...and I have been eyeing a pair of Ed Hardy shoes and a matching hoodie...yes its gonna cost me about 2 and half paychecks...but I HAVE GOT TO HAVE THEM OR ELSE...yeah for tax free shopping and back to school stuff...smooches until next post laters

So I just made this.....I think its pretty H.O.T Hot so here it is....lol unil next post laters...smooches

Okay so this is an official disclaimer!!!! about two post ago there was one entitled "naughty poll" I HAVE NOTHING TO DO W/ THAT!!! I didn't do that poll, I didn't make that post, I have no idea how it got there, and just in case there is some pervert floating around in cyberspace that read it, GO JERK OFF ON SOMEONEELSE'S BLOG!!!!!!! This is the end off the official disclaimer.....until next "legitimate" post....smooches FYI: The post has been deleted

I am loving this new philosophy on life that I have developed. I guess it took a little drama in my life for me to open my eyes and GROW UP.....any who I did something I haven't done in a long time...I cleaned up..and not just my room but my life. I cut my hair so as not to deal with the mess that was starting to develop, I cleaned all the old junk that I wasn't using put of my room, I applied for and received a promotion at work, I have re-done my wardrobe, and I have been getting back in touch w/ who I believe to be the real me.Life isn't good but it is a whole lot better than it was before.....

After reading my last entry I realize how upset I really was about the situation...and I don't want to be mad....it takes too much energy...but so does being sad...now what? I decided to get over it, life throws you curve balls sometimes and you have the option to either hit one out of the park or strike out..either way you gotta swing. After talking to some people and actually deciding to listen to them, I have let the situation go...I'd rather be happy, in that regard I have been doing things to keep me happy and active so that I don't have to dwell on the sad/bad things in my life. I went to my favorite park and just read..I hadn't done that in such a long time it just felt good to be there, though it did bring up so forgotten memories w/ the ex. However not only did I read I wrote some poetry,, another thing I hadn't done in a while. After having such a good time, I decided to go there at least once a week just to reconnect w/ myself....I have also been hanging ...

Ever feel like you the butt of someone's cruel joke? Right now I feel as though GOD decided he really doesn't like me after all. First my ex boyfriend and the only guy I ever really loved starts to date a close friend of mine.....great fucking slap in the face...but I take it like a women because our relationship was unhealthy any way....but now she feels as though he is giving me too much attention....FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU.....damn I am doing my best to deal with this pretty fucked up situation..I mean you claim to be my friend damn you introduced us...and not even a month after we break up your dating him??? what type of shit is that? You tell me why I should give a rat's ass about your feelings??? You SHOULD FUCKING feel insecure...you did a low down underhanded thing and KARMA IS A FUCKING BITCH THAT WILL COME BACK AND BITE YOU IN THE ASS.....but it must be biting me right now for something I didn't even know I did because why the hell am I the going through t...

Ok so I have been a very busy bee since school has let out. I am currently in summer school.....blah blah...any way to more important matters, in my on going quest to figure out me and to do my own thing, I have made my first drastic change on the outside because I have been changing on the inside for quite a while now....I cut my hair...and for those of you who don;t know me personally I one had hair past my shoulders and now my hair is just past my chin....I got a good 5 or so inches cut and I LOVE it.... I was so scared at first but once she started to cut there was nothing I could do but sit there and wait for her to finish. My mom was a little upset she couldn't understand why I wanted to cut my hair....I didn't think she would understand that's why I didn't bother telling her I was going to cut it because then she would try to talk me out of it, which is another reason I am not telling her about the tattoo I am 20 bucks away from getting. yea for me...next step to...

SCHOOLS OUT !!!!!!! so I am currently home after what has been a very interesting year. My boat WN/F 8+ made it to the DadVails National Championship. Though we didn't win we put up a hard fight, and I believe that this year has been quite successful. Now in terms of my grades...I have no clue.. classes I thought I was passing I may not have after all. I am even considering a major change. Landscaping?? I don't know any more and I'm running out of time. As far as I am concerned....I need a vacation...but I'm not going to get one because of summer school and work...oh well it's whateva I'm home back to the unordinary. Laters

3 days until school is over......1 week until I'll sleep in my own bed

FUCK FINALS !!!!!!!

Ok so it just dawned on me...in one week I will no longer be a college freshman...what is a girl to do??? Party, Party, Party....thank the lord because I am through with being a college freshman...well at least the class part. Does this mean I have to change the title of my blog...maybe,maybe not I might just make a new 1..Only time will tell. In other news, my boat finally won 1st place!!!!! It was an amazing win especially because of the 9 persons in the boat 5 are sick. We worked so hard no one could breathe when we crossed the finish line. I am so PROUD of my girls...now we qualify to go to the Dad Vail National Championship in Philly. Though I am sad that it means we have to stay in school longer. I am excited to make it in my first year of rowing..... LETS GO HOKIES!!!!!!!! until next post laters

So I read this somewhere and decided to repost it because it is so funny to me...where do people get this stuff??? they must pull it out their asses Body: I've had an ephiphany! I will like to take this time to set women straight on this whole monogamy thing. Let me start out by asking this question to the women of the world......."Do YOU LOV UR MAN" If so, take the time to hear me out. What women fail to understand when it comes to cheating is this,..........."Men were made with different organs than women" We have different needs. And I just think it is very selfish that yall take it upon yourselves to rush to judgment if we slip up. I don't know what goes on in yall heads. I don't know if its insecurity or ignorance, but yall flip out if ur cheated on. What does that solve huh?? Do u think we love you any less?? As long as your the same girl we fell in love with, you have nothing to worry about when it comes to matters of the heart. Maybe you feel jea...

I have decided to just do me, I'm sick of trying to be a nice considerate person because in this world every good deed you do is taken as a weakness. It's a dog eat dog world out there and though I have always known that I was a firm believer in giving the benefit of the doubt...well it's whatever now, I am too through. From now on people have to prove that they are worthy of my kindness, trust, and most of all me. I am too small a person to just distribute myself freely, so either earn it or fuck it.....

After a disappointing day @ the S.I.R.A. Championship...I really don't know what to say we started off pretty good, placing second in our heat, and first in our finals....but overall we got 4th...that had to be the worst race I have EVER had...it was horrible and no matter what I did it continued to get worst and worst...oh well chalk it up to bad experience....w/ next weekend off I should be in pretty good shape for the West VA Governor's Cup....Let's go hokies..until next post laters

Happy Daylight Savings Time!!! Ok so I'm fresh off of The John Hunter Regatta, in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. We had great results, my 8+ col nov w got 1st in our heat, and 2nd in the finals. Not bad for our first major race of the season. In addition we dropped 10 s off of our 2k time which to those of you who row out there KNOW that's a big thing. If we continue to progress like this we maybe able to make it to DAD VAIL but it's right around the time that school is over...what a dilly of a pickle...any who....I'm going to go set my clock, call my parents, and do some work...catch you on the flip side...until next post...laters

So last night was the Common and 112 concert on campus...I was REALLY good I like both artist and they did a hell of a job. Plus I had really good seats, 5th row. My friends got backstage I really didn't wanna go cuz I wasn't looking 100% and I'm a little sick. I was more like 90% so I just watched the purses. They even got invited to the after party but with a 4:30 wake up call I knew I wasn't going. Tommorow is our first MAJOR regatta for the season, if you near Oak Ridge Tennessee holla at your gurl we would love the support. Until next post....laters

So Saturday night was the night of the Alpha Phi Alpha Ball. I had so much fun, me and my girls looked good too. Plus the event took my mind off of the fact that we lost our regatta that same day. It was event that I will never forget especially because I fell asleep in IHOP and cut my forehead. It was QUITE a wake up call. Any who..gotta study for an exam that I have tonight...wish me luck....hey bro love the business card smooches....later

Today just had to be the worst day of practice....at least in a long time. It was 26 degrees outside in addition to the wind chill, and the freezing cold water. I was literally and ice cube coming off of the water, plus our boat had so much water in it that when we flipped it over to walk it up the dock all the water froze on the dock making it slippery and hard for the rest of the team to get off the water. I felt bad for them but I was so cold and shivering I could hardly move nonetheless Cox the boat into the racks. The only real reason we practiced today was because we have a regatta this weekend and we haven't been on the water for one reason or another since Saturday....FYI we beat NC State last weekend and plan to TOTALLY eliminate W&M this weekend...until next post...laters

OK so it has been a long time...in fact it's a whole new month....I am fresh off of spring break, one week of 3x day crew practice, shady hotels, team bonding, and even a tan in 70^o weather. I had a great time, though a few bad thing happened like me getting sick, a rift between the novice girls, and us starting out in the most shady and ghetto hotel in Augusta. Highlights include me impersonating our coach @ the talent show, my very first experience as a rower(see picture..that's me in the red shirt), light saber wars, and tagging the bridge. I really cherish the memories that I have now because if I had went home I would not have really done anything special, and even though I didn't see my family I saw them the two weekends leading to spring break and I am going home again this weekend.....so it al balances out...DOWNSIDE of coming back to tech after spring break, a week of test two down and 4 to go..wish me luck...until next post..laters

So I went home this weekend...I had so much fun...I miss my family so much sometimes, but while I was home I learned something about myself I can't live MY life for my family. It's time for me to venture out into to the world with the training they have given me and do my own thing...therefore I'm getting a tattoo...this is just a sign of my personal growth and freedom..God forbid my parent trip but like I said this isn't about rebelling it's about doing ME

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY !!!!!!! I love "love" and though there is animosity in my world right now, love is still present. Therefore I am almost happy, today is a day of new possibilities, new horizons, and new people....life goes on HAPPY LOVE DAY TO ALL

Last night was like a total blur.....

So I have been working really hard to catch up after like missing class due to sickness..I think I've done a good job except for a quiz I was semi prepared for, this week was pretty good..though it's not over yet I feel pretty good about it..now I'm just trying to pass my first round if test...wish me luck

College sucks because I'm still sick...since like Tuesday I have been feeling like sh** I have been taking medicine getting rest and all the other stuff but still sick....it hasn't been that bad except for the fact that I have been walking around sounding like a god da** man!! And really I have been getting better, body aches are gone, and breathe out of one nostril, no more fever.....so not all bad, plus as sort of a pick me upper my girls and I went to the beauty salon, I got my nails and eyebrows done, now all that's left is the hair...which I'm getting this week as soon as the cold goes away it doesn't make sense to get sicker by wetting my hair....duh...any who...laters

I hate Blacksburg weather, one day it's really nice outside so I wear a skirt (a pretty short 1) and in the next two days it's flurries and cold air EVERYWHERE (even in the dorms) do you know what that means??? you guessed it, I am once again a victim of a cold...this one is not to bad, my eyes are swollen, I'm seriously tired, I have body aches, I can barely talk not to mention the gross yellow stuff coming out of my nose and throat....but I go to class. I made a promise to myself that I would do EXCELLENT this semester and no matter how much like sh** I feel I am going to do my homework and go to class and participate and study and do whatever it takes for me to get the grades I not only want but deserve.......but you got to think me coming from class @ 7:00 and crashing until 10 the next morning has got to be unhealthy somewhere....any ways back to the books....Laters

Last night had to one of the most boring Friday nights for me...I mean I love hanging with my girls and all that but I would have rather hanging with them at the club or out somewhere instead of in my dorm room watching movies all night. On the other hand it wasn't out getting into trouble and I went to bed at a decent time so I guess it's not all bad....any way I'm going to make up for it tonight....party @ roommate's' brother's apartment be there or be square........laters

Life has been going great in all aspects except crew....for some reason my coach has decided he wants me to learn how to row.....this wouldn't be all that bad except that he almost wants me to be on the same level in terms of time as the rest of the team...NEWSFLASH: they have been at this since September, I haven't......I have been doing my best to keep it up because my position on the team is a leadership position and I shouldn't punk out.....but I do think that after all this erging(rowing on land) I need so rest and relaxation and since I don't have class until 5:30 today I'm hitting the sack I'll get up later and do some homework but now time is my time!

SO I'm starting this semester off pretty good...I passed both of my math quizzes and am ahead of my reading for all my classes....so now I'm heading out with my girls...I deserve it very much....n e way later all ps congratulation to my bro...u know y

First day of classes.....not as excited as I was when I first started @ tech....so much has happened....I had to register for classes and got just about all the ones I want this semester is going to be so much better because I am going about my life much differently.....

Yea I know I haven't been here in a while but all of a sudden life just got really hectic....but now that I have some down time I'm writing. I'm glad the holidays are over....that means I'm closer to going back to school. It is so odd being home now because at school I did my own thing and made my own rules.....I come home and my parents seem to forget that I am now able to vote or die.....among other things they give me the funniest faces when I walk in the house at 11 o'clock.....11? you have got to be kidding me.....it's a good thing that they are going on vacation this way I basically am on my own again......hahahaha the funniest part of the story is that they wanted me to go with them.....if this is how they act in one country I don't want to carry the pattern into another one....n e how I'm bout to hit the sack these 40 hour work weeks are starting to take their toll on me......laters
