April.Showers

...bring May flowers! 

Well, enough of my showers of sadness! Everything else in life is freaking great, so don't mind me if I just dwell on the bright things for a moment. =] Hehe. I'm all giddy, listening to The Isley Brothers "Summer Breeze". [I love the electric guitar in this song. Yeah!] 

    So today I was awoken by my celly. I had put in to be a Summer Instructor for the ETS program at the school I plan to go back to in the fall. Amber loves the kids. =] So anywho, they were calling to arrange an interview. Wish me luck! My freshmen year, I was an ETS Mentor during the academic year and I had a blast! So, I hope it leads back to my old Mentor job as well. That would be totally awesome.

Want to know what else is totally awesome?

    My Homie-B just rang me up. We were planning to hang out today. Lo and behold, at his job, they were giving free passes to go see the Star Trek movie today. Yes, dos dias before the release date! I'm so hyped right now. Man, looking on the bright side is quite rewarding. =] Seats are not guaranteed though, so we are going to try and get there early. I hope we can get in. If so, I shall let ya'll know how it goes. Hey, if we can't I don't mind hitting this cool thrift shop with him again. Pick up some goodies. Like I said, I will let ya'll know how it turns out. 

Remember:

    As you all know, school is out for me. Doesn't mean I can relax just yet. My housing department extended my move-out date as long as I worked this week. So I took the opportunity. Finding a job back at home, during the summer, is not promised at all. I don't want to be broke at home, plus, I need to start saving for school too. So I took the opportunity to get the max 40 hours this week. Woo-hoo. =|

    Sunday, I worked 12 hours. Thats 2 hours shy of what I usually work in one week! I'm proud of myself...I've been hanging in there. Cat naps in-between shifts have been keeping me charged. I think I will be able to make it. [I think I can, I think I can...] Especially since we're allowed to bring our laptops now. =] Its been good though. I have actually been drawing. I had lost the desire to draw on my own will. School assignments will do that to you. Plus, I didn't have much motivation or inspiration. Now, I do. I put into each drawing a piece of me I need to get out...

    Thats another thing, I think I need to really get some things figured out about myself. Get to know the girl in the mirror again. Set some goals and actually stick to them until their accomplished. I want to get at a point in my life where I feel happy about the things I'm doing and decisions I make. I wish I could go into detail, but it just something about people you actually know reading your blog. It hinders freedom of speech, it shouldn't, but it does...

Well, back to my 12am-8am shift. =\

Catch.Up!

Hammer Time!

Ohhhhh Ohhhhh. I love this video!

 So, this week was okay. I give it an B+. Work has gotten on my nerves a little bit, but hey...who doesn't go through that. School has been pretty breezy. Books coming in from good ol' Amazon. Cheap, cheap, cheap! Got two more to cop: One book I had ordered according to the university, but it was in fact the wrong book. The second, I'm going to try to convince my friend to use his employee discount to get for me. =] As for my ever-so-endearing love life...it is at a stand still. Be proud of me, I have been steering away from dudes. Keeping my word. Wall Enabled!

  Sooo, Thurday I went with my roomies to the club. Dude, can you say, "Brrrrrrr!" Jinkies, it was so cold. I was in heels, therefore my walking speed was a little disabled. Wind blowing, craziness... Once inside, it was okay. Not a poppin as I expected by I got my groove on. I was taller than about 95-97% of the dudes there. It happens. I think I may have offended a dude or two. Sometimes I wished the roles were switched and I would just hop my happy self on their back sides. Major Rule: NO partner dancing on my song "I Know" by Jay-Z. Haha. I just want to enjoy that song by myself, all I ask for.

  Friday was pretty simple. I slept til it was about time for my RA interview. My friend who already has advanced to an RA position prepped me. Thank The Heavens! I was super nervous. My Sigma Nu buddie, who is also an RA, helped also to calm my nerves and make me laugh a little while I waited to be called in. He said I had "nice" interviewers. I agree, they were pretty cool. I think I did well, but o know how that is sometimes. I reckon I will hear back from that sometime soon.

  Later that day, the roomies and I got pizza. It took me and hour to order on-line. I was trying so hard to use that 20% off deal. Haha. Anyway, we ate, tripped out...My Sigma Nu/Ra buddie came later to help get rid of the pizza left. 

As For Today...

I slept until time for work...breezy shift except for this guy. Summarized version:

Him: "Where ya man at?" <-I knew then trouble was ahead. "I've been seeing you and I haven't been saying anything, but Ima say something today."

Me: "Ohh. I don't have one of those."

Him: "You be all swagged out everytime I see you. I know these boys been trying to holla. I bet you're hood. You sound like a hood chick."

Me: "Me?" *raised eye-brow*

Him: "Yeah, I'm not spitting game. I'm being real. I'm a real a** ni**a with mine. I know how to treat a woman."

Me: "Why don't you have a girl then?"

Him: "I don't want a girlfirend right now. I just want friends, maybe even friends with benefits. Thats why we will be good."

*I make crazy look*

Him: "What cha wanna do shawty?"

Me: "I just want to do my job. Haha."

Ahh, crazy times at work. Other than that I finished helping my friend move, went to the b-ball game, ate with friends, congratulated The Baller on the win, went to sleep. Well, my next shift is coming up at two. Whoopy! [sarcassssssm]

Its.A.Beautiful.Morning

"Cause Even Though The Sun Ain't Shinin 

& The Birds Ain't Singin...

...it looks like a beautiful morning!" -Little Brother

  You know I was gonna start off this post talking about how I felt like I was getting sick, but I just received far more important news! Haha. Thanks to the people at This Is Sharona, I just learned of Katy P and Travie's break up. Yes, yes ya'll! This fine piece of man is SINGULAR! If it comes out to be untrue...please, don't burst my bubble just yet. If it is proven true..please mark this date down in your calenders. This, my friends, is a very beautiful thing. =] Aside from the possible breakage of hearts, of course.

In Other News...

As I was saying...I think I'm getting sick or something. I awoke and I felt more on the "ugh" side. So, you know what that means...NyQuil Time! Haha. Ahhh, thank the heavens for whoever made that. I don't do drugs, but NyQuil is crack. Straight up. I don't know why, but I'm always tempted to take one extra dose, even when I'm all better. =]

  Yesterday was nice. Uhhh, I slept til it was close to my 4PM-8PM shift. Came back to the room. Chilled with the girlies. We soon took a Wally trip. I loaded up on the essentials and came back. Ooooh yeah! One of the girlies taught me my favorite move from Beyonce's "Single Ladies" video. I would post it up...but I was still looking rough on it. I may make it a P.S. Post if I get up the nerve. 

  My 2AM-4AM shift wasn't too bad. The co-workers who did show up and I had a freaking blast. Crazy people + Soulja Boy + Cake = A Goodtime. Who would of known? I don't know if you've heard the song. Its stupid but catchy...so, I like it! Click the link and take an earful. =] Welp, I'm about to head to my Unc's. My lil cuzin who is 8, want me to help her with her MP3 player. Why does she have an MP3 in the second grade...I shall never understand.
