Love of my Life/Peaches & Cream

Image
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

A phi A

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

So cold.....

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

Spring Break:VT Crew Style

Image
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

Just gotta be me

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 V-day!!!!!

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

IDK

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

Get your engine's ready

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

When all else fails look good....

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

Godforesaken land

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

TGIF?

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

Always about crew?

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!

You go gurl

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

Me?

Back 2 da books....

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.....

Miss me?

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

What the Hell??

Um so today I decided to face the music....I checked my grades online today....um it was horrible I received my first F in my life...I have never been so sad in my life for real I don't know why it was so bad even though I worked so hard to get good grades....I'm just going to work harder next semester....3.0 or bust!!!!!!!!

WTF

So finals are through and I am now home recovering...boy this was very much needed I have never been so stressed in my life I even got a few grey hairs out of it....boy it sucks that my grades where so bad...like I worked so hard to pass chemistry and all I could manage was a D.....life officially sucks but it's ok...I'm going to work harder next semester because having a low GPA endangers my scholarships...my friends will never see me again in their life....maybe at graduation....oh well I'm not going to think about it until I get back to school for now I'm going to enjoy my month long vacation...go to work hang out eat and sleep...I better do it now because I'm not going to do it at school any more.......laters

Finals???

Hey all, three finals down one to go.....it is funny how they put my last final as the hardest....um oh well I'll be home very soon and back to the most important people is my life......I'm going to study now and then chill out and eat and drink and be merry......Laters P.S. Just like I said he came back...I'm just such a great catch that some people can't live without me

Study break...

Ok so I'm taking a study break because I have a final in a few hours....at least this is Calculus which I almost understand. Unfortunately I need to pass this final with an A in order to receive the grade that I want from the class. I have been studying since 11 and it is now 2....I probably won't go to sleep till about 4 or 5 and then wake up at 12 in order to take the exam at 1....I think that I pretty much know all the important concepts except two and as long as the test isn't to heavy with those two concepts I SHOULD be fine whether or not I am is another story....well enough of a study break back to the books.......Laters all and wish me much luck...
