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...

IDK what to do any more....depression is starting to get to me, I feel like all the goals I have set for myself are currently going up in a large black cloud of smoke..it probably isnt that serious but im starting to stress out over some things and well these are important things to me. I wish U could forsee the future and know that it all workls out even if it is only for the short term...short term is better than no term...oh my oh my is all i can say as i make a consciense effort to reduce the cursing improve on the general moral behavior and better myself for myself... im just gonna have to focus on each little part individual and try to figure out the weak links...heres to hoping..until next post smooches laters

It would ne great :-D but idk right now...next up on the countdown behind the end of the semester and thanksgiving break is DRUM ROLL PLEASE-----> MY BIRTHDAY!!!! oh yea oh yea who doesnt get excited over birthdays under the age of 30??? I'm looking forward to it even though it is the week before finals and I'll probably be a study zombie at that point....but maybe a birthday will be just what I need to break me out of the spell...we'll see... well blogger world...until next post smooches laters

So here I am in October wondering where September went....but it was a good month lots of traveling though and it sure did tire me. One highlight of October was ring premier each year Virginia Tech introduces an entirely new collection of designs for each class.The Sophomore class selects a Ring Committee responsible for designing their class ring collection. Each collection includes certain elements: the screaming eagle, American flag, campus buildings, and an interlocking chain around the bezel. The screaming eagle evolved from a pair of twin eagles used on the first Virginia Tech ring, symbolizing the twin virtues of strength and freedom. The American flag and campus buildings serve to recognize both the heritage of our country and Virginia Tech. The chain represents the strength of many united as one. That's usually on the university side on the class side we have 2009 Interlocking Chain - A traditional part of the ring since 1940, representing class pride and unity. The links ...

Yo for real it time has flown....I can't believe it is September I have been in classes for 4 weeks now...I have been a junior for 4 weeks before you know it I'll be graduating. So much has changed bout my life and my priorities I am learning to let the past go because it has done just that passed. If you hold people responsible for being the people the once were you've never get to know the people they are now. I am just taking life one day at a time because on April 16th of this year I learned the true meaning of here today gone tomorrow.It just dawned on me that today's date is September 11th the 6th year anniversary of another major tragedy in my life. On this day 6 years ago many people lost their lives doing the same thing the did everyday. They woke up said goodbye to loved ones and went to work, or went to catch their flight. On that day they lost their lives.....On April 16th 32 people woke up and went about their normal business of classes not knowing that thi...

So I have been on this internship now for more than a month and I am truly enjoying myself. However I kinda miss home. I miss my firends that understand my oddly silly funny jokes...I miss hanging out at the boyfirend's house just reading a book while he plays video games...i miss chillin with the parents to watch Jeporady....i miss the little things. I like all the other interns though I dont think I would hang out with all of them on a regular basis. One intern is just a little odd for my taste or rather just a bit reserved. I am a risk taker I like to try things out, if the first time I do something it doesnt quite go right i do it again until it does go right. she is a bit more held back. I try to let it go but it is so hard to....mainly because she kinda of clashes with my personality. One intern is the party girl...i'm not sure how she made it through her first year of college without a liver diease...but together we make a pretty well rounded group. The mansion is beaut...

This has been an eventful summer. I started off by going to Italy for two weeks in order to do a study aboard program. I had so much fun, the food, the culture, the people everything seemed to agree with me. I didn't really want to leave but I had to in order to come back to do my internship. Now I am working for the USDA through the Forest Service as an Horticulture intern. The pace of life is much different than I am used to but I pride myself on being flexible so I am just going with the flow. Plus clean air and hard work never hurt anybody. This weekend however I am going back to the city to go to the carribean festival and hang out with my friends. I havent seen them since i left school so I am VVVEEERRRRYYYYY excited. well that's all i got for now until next post smooches laters......

After a long semester only made longer by one single idiot I am finally in for some peace and relaxation. I am going to Italy for a couple of weeks to vacation and learn. I am so looking forward to it. The shopping, the food, and the people. I am looking forward to taking it all in. Every single moment will be indulged in and I will be living la Dulce Vida....the good life....i think that is the translation...I didn't take Italian in school. Any way just wanted to share this with the blogger world....until next post laters....CIAO BITCHES

This has been the roughest week of my life. It started off so simple....My parents had just dropped me off at school. Since I hadn't done any work all weekend I knew that I was in for an all nighter since I had a paper and project due in less than 24 hours. I sat up all sunday night into monday morning. I saw the ambulance in front of West AJ, I didnt think of any of it...it's not unusual. But it was unusual... by the time I walked to my first class Ryan Clark was deceased....by the time I ran for cover to my next class my friend Erin Peterson was taking her last breath. In my lifetime I have seen so much tragedy. Living in the Nation's Capitol it is a given, people are after the president and other prominent officials. Before Monday 4/16/07 the most shocking event of my life was seeing the smoke from the Pentagon on 9/11/01. My generation is a shell shocked one, we have had enough. Everyday is becoming our "last" day. The bible fortells "unforseen circumstan...

So first and foremost let's talk about the snow in APRIL!!!!!!! When I saw that I knew the whole world had gone crazy and it was time for me to really start askin the question "are you for real"....Second these people with the fact that my name or my likeness is escaping your mouth in all the wrong ways....who are you to think you are an authority on Moe...yet again "are you for real" no one considers themselves a fighter unless you are a boxer or grew up in the hood....but trust and believe that there is a fighter in me and at this point I feel her scratching and biting to get out. I'm going to tell her to calm her ass down b/c that's just going to start more drama....However it's starting to get to be too much for my little soul....I am trimming the fat if you don't make the cut it's for a reason so KEEP IT MOVING HOE!!!!! until next post smooches laters
