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

OK.....So I had all intentions on posting two days ago when I turned 21 but I have been so busy celebrating that I just haven't had the time to sit down in front of the computer to do it. So here is the month of November in review. I went on my first ever cruise....and it was the best time. It was about 17 of us all family (which I was a little unsure about at first) but it was great. I got to see a lighter side of my parents and a fun side to the rest of the fam....you can't go on a cruise and not have fun. The port of calls where, Labadee, Haiti...Montego Bay, Jamaica....Grand Caymans...and Cozumel, Mexico. It was so much fun, I ate so much, drank so much and even met a cousin of mine who works for the cruise line. Any one out there is cyberworld if you have never been on a cruise and you don't have horrible motion/sea sickness....YOU MUST DO IT. I cant wait to go on another though that is no where in the foreseeable future. Nonetheless it was a great way to start off the...

SOOOO I guess I neglected to post last month....aka yesterday as I had intended. Now I have messed up my goal of posting every month at least once. Ah well I guess it just was not meant to be. Well I guess its time to catch up on my life....so here goes. I am not really enjoying this whole senior year thing much, I mean its kool and all but I feel like I am always swimming in an ocean of work ( I can't swim) and barely keeping my head above water. It kind of sucks too because all of my classes are at least interesting its just that I don't really have the time to dedicate to them because I have organizational & personal responsibilities to fulfill. I guess it all boils down to the fact that 24hrs is just not enough. If this semester is kicking me in the ass, the next can wait. In sadder news a very close friend passed away about a week & a half ago. He was a funny, loving, sweet guy and I will truly miss him. He was one of those people you knew was going to go far(once ...

So I blinked this morning and realized that my internship is almost over, I blinked again and realized that I start school in a week, where the hell did my summer go. It has flashed before my eyes. I should be getting used to this by now because it happens on every vacation I have but still I'm not used to it. I had an awesome summer working for the Smithsonian. I met a ton of great people and learned so many new things. I really appreciate all the people for taking time to work with me and to get to know me. I had fun with all the other interns too. The only thing I wished I did more of was leisure traveling but gas prices were RIDICULOUS so I wasn't going to be doing any leisure driving...lol I am so looking forward to my senior year. I have big plans and a long list of things to do before my graduation/wedding date May 16th or is it 19th??? I'll get it together in time (I hope). With all that said there is only one thing left...GOODBYE SUMMER..until next post smooches la...

Where oh where has my summer gone oh where oh where could it be??? Can you believe that it is already JULY!! Once July 4th has come and gone that means summer is half way over. SOooo basically what this means for me is that it's time to start looking for furniture for my apartment, buying a backpack, contacting my JOBS to let them know when I'll be back in town as well as contact scholarship people to let them know when I will be starting school so that they can give me my money. Ah yes July is a month of planning and preparation but also a month of fun?? Hopefully I can squeeze one or two more road trips into my weekends so that this whole summer pass has not just been about well, WORK...speaking of which since I have to be up @ 4:45am I should probably hit the sack right about now...so until next post smooches laters :-D

There is so much going on in my life right now both good and bad. There are way to many emotions floating around that I can't get a grasp of what's real and what's just overreaction. Many of my friends have been having birthdays...not just any birthday but the 21st. Every American knows that the 21st is a HUGE DEAL. I am looking forward to mine but part of me fears that I may not make it. On Monday my best friend's twin brother died. He was 21!! Though he didn't die a violent way, he wasn't sick either. He just didn't wake up for work. All I can think is what?? In WHAT universe is that okay? WHAT do you say to your best friend when she's lost the one person whose been through it all with her? WHAT do you say to the parents that have just lost there second child and only son? WHAT THE FUCK!?!?!?! I am so looking forward to becoming this great person, this awesome ADULT but what stands in my way is life. Life can play so cruel tricks and jokes on people an...

Yes you read that right,I'm engaged...some of you may be wondering when did this happen? I've never mentioned a steady boyfriend much less plans of being married. Well to tell the truth I never thought I was ready for marriage until I entered the College of Ag. Many of my classmates are either engaged or already married, therefore I decided to give that way of life a strong consideration. I'll tell you the story of our love. We met back in DC while I was attending Howard University. When we first met I was very excited, I heard so many wonderful stories, but I had heard horror stories from exes also, I just knew that I had to find out for myself. Our relationship started off really well, but I soon realized that being at Howard wasn't meant for me, I voiced my desire to transfer and to my pleasure we kept our relationship up when I entered Virginia Tech. Though our relationship had has some serious lows, such as my spring semester freshman year when I just wanted our re...

My life is currently flashing before my eyes. I feel like the last month has been such a blur. So i'll just give highlight, I got an internship(YEA!!!!). It's paid,it's close to home and I get to start after labor day (Myrtle Beach n e 1?). Soon after I found out about the glorius internship I got selected to participate in the PLANET student career days in the ATL.I must say that those four day were definatly highlights of my semester. Speaking of which, the semester is almost over with just a little under 4 weeks left, the extreme G-R-I-N-D has truly begun. Now is the time that grades are pulled up, tears are shed, and classes are DROPPPED!!! I will probably be doing 2 out of 3...we shall see. Tonight is the departmental banquet and I have the most adorable dress to wear.. so i'm off to shower, brush my teeth and get dressed...until next post smooches laters :-D

So I just finished up spring break, and with that comes the accompanying stress of post spring break work. Spring break is such a tease, because for one whole week you have no test, no classes, no teachers, no homework....all that's left is TV, food, and sleeping until 5pm if you really try hard enough...then right when you get use to the good life it's ripped out of your hands and your thrust back into the world that is college...its such a cruel concept but yet every year I torture myself....next year imma stay in the burg and not do anything but study...yea right not really...ah well back to the grind..until next post smooches

I love your unpretentious love, you look at me with those bright brown eyes and you love me. You love me for my short brown hair you love me for my purple glasses, you love me because I teach you the latest dance moves. You just love me, though you may not understand the heartache in the eyes behind those purple glasses, your eyes always see my love for you. Though you may not comprehend the thoughts scattered in the brain underneath that brown hair, you don't care. You just love me, you give me that right kinda love, that unpretentious, no matter what, up, down, good, bad, happy, sad, joy and pain kinda love. For you I am thankful because of you I am grateful, never in my life have I loved someone as much as I love you for your love. My life wouldn't be the same if you weren't here and though right now it seems a burden to carry, I'm always gonna be glad for your right kinda love....until next post smooches laters

Who are you? What have you become? For you are no longer the one I loved, the one who held my hand and calmed my fears, the one who always wiped my tears. Now you've become the source of so much pain, like ice water running through my veins. You are not who you once were, all of a sudden clothes and shoes matter, but I was there when two pennies was all we had together. Why have you become this man I can't stand who no longer makes me smile? Why can't we go back to who we once were, when you were my man and I was your girl? When oceans parted in our paths when a simple look, a shared secret made us laugh. Why am I now the one left out? Can you tell me what's that about? Who are you? Can you tell me when my heart became your punching bag and your "love" the gloves? Since when did loving someone hurt more that it healed? Why is your love leaving me tired and drained? Why do you not notice how I'm in pain? The person you used to be could see the sad in my eye...

Hello out there blogger world...it's been a longtime. So let me catch you up, I had my 20th birthday come and go and let me tell you being 2 decades old aint no joke, I feel like adulthood is right around the corner waiting for me, especially because I'm a junior even though the university has me listed as a senior....long story. So after the big birthday were finals...my favorite time of the year(bullshit). Finals weren't so bad, in fact I've found that if you pay attention during most of the school year finals are just a review....lol what a silly notion though, paying attention in class I laugh in your face hahahahahaha. So then I went home which btw in case you haven't been keeping up its now December some time. I get home looking forward to a relatively relaxing break, mostly sleeping, eating, and watch our new 250 channel TV, with a few days of work sprinkled here and there. For the most part that's how break went until Christmas week....my laptop broke, I...
