Happy Birthday Mama! :D
Woo-hoo I didn't have to go to work today or tomorrow, although I miss the money. I kinda need some time off inbetween classes. Free time inbetween classes was so few and far between this quarter so far it has begun to wear me out. 'Cuz usually when I get home I am tired, or just tired enough not to begin on homework after sitting in class for 3 hours straight.

And as for yesterday, I got a chance to meet the guy that my friend from way back told me about. He's alright... but not really my type though. He's cool to hang out with but just as a friend though, from what I could tell so far. I'm a picky girl I guess.

Here is that pic of my new do. Well, new no longer after tomorrow night, I'm ready to take it down, these bobby pins are getting on my nerves, and I want to get braids again! I don't feel quite right with this hairdo, probably because I associate it with my cousin, who is bad news in my book. Males get the wrong ideas when they see girls with a hairstyle like what I have now. Like this morning for example, this guy who I have never seen before was trying to offer me a ride. Um, excuse me, but does the word "stupid" appear on my forehead?! Ugh!

That's enough griping for now, I have a Managerial Accounting Midterm to cram for... *shudders*

This is a copy of the song that I had to sing Saturday night. The print is tiny, so you may want to zoom in on it if you have the most recent version of Internet Explorer.

Unfortunately, my cam wasn't working and i was unable to post a pic of my new 'do. Maybe today the cam will work.

For right now, I'm just waiting for 1pm to roll around. Only got 3 minutes left. I have a Business Stats II test to cram for between 1 and 2pm. Then after I take my test, I'm going to meet up with a friend that I knew from elementary school. We're talking way back 2nd and 3rd grade here. She goes to Cincy State, which is close by UC, and we catch the same bus Tuesday and Thursday mornings. She told me that one of her guy friends was intersted in meeting me. Being the curious person that I am, I agreed to meet him. But only if she's there along with me. It would be too strange without her.

Okay, it's 1pm now, gotta go.

Do you remember when days were like that?
I was loving you, in return you loved back.
And now you're telling me that you miss that?
I betcha feel lonely
'Cuz you lost me...



Can't get that Sugar Jones song out of my head!

In other news, the concert went well! :P
Along with my speech- I actually went over the time limit, which was three minutes. I was afraid that I was going to be under two minutes!
My cousin did my hair for the concert; I'll post/link a pic when I get home today. She was teasing me a bit calling me "Ghetto Girl" 'cuz I usually don't wear my hair like this. Just wait and see.
I might post the lyrics to the song that I had to sing Saturday night as well, along with the translation because it is in German! Oh my!

Just registered for Spring Quarter classes through priority registration a little while ago; hopfully I will get in all of the classes that I requested. I wish that I could take Women's Chorus again, but it'll be right in the middle of my Microeconomics 271 course. Awww. :( So I signed up for Speed Reading and Personal Growth and Development, just for kicks. I prefer Speed Reading, and I placed Personal Growth and Development as an alternate. It's not definate though, I'm always changing my mind...

It's late, and I am still up doing homework. I wasn't even at home this evening to really work on it because I am getting prepared for my first performance with the University Women's Chours on Saturday night.

Sat., 8 pm

Corbett Auditorium Tickets Required

Mahler: Symphony No. 3 in D Minor

The listing is somewhere on this page.

I had to get some black slacks to match up with a jacket/blouse that I bought a few weeks ago. My Mom put a pair of slacks on hold for me at Lerner's and I asked my Aunt if she could take me out to the mall to pick them up.

Then I have a speech to prepare for tomorrow afternoon. It's the first speech of the course, so it shouldn't be too stressful. Our choice was to tell a story about ourselves or to pick two objects and describe how they relate to our personality. I picked the first one; I'm going to speak about the time when my Dad let me drive home from the gas station one afternoon. I had to drive down one of the busiest streets in my neighborhood. People were honking, and my Dad was yelling and I was just freaking out. It was horrible. But I learned from it nonetheless, like with any sticky situation that I'm in. There may be some regrets, but I learn to deal with it. That's all that one can do. Also I have Spanish homework to complete along with a Managerial Accounting assignment that is due tomorrow morning at 9am. Yipee, what fun...hopefully it should only take another hour or so, I dearly hope. Thank goodness tomorrow is Friday though-that's the thing that is keeping me in perspective as of right now.

I'm all charged up about being in the Women's Chorus this quarter. Unfortunately, I won't be able to participate in it next quarter, due to a Microeconomics class that is only available during the time that Chours meets. Damn. But that's okay though, I'll find something else constructive to get into for the Spring Quarter. Maybe art or something, who knows!

Ok, back to work...

Okay, so the html gear guestbook was temporarily out of service. Cool with me! I might keep the dreambook just for kicks, as a backup or something.
Still working on my site at envy.nu. The graphics are ready to go, but I have no idea on how to arrange them. I've been trying to get the popup info window working.The page is ready, but I'm still working on the javascript.
For some reason my guestbook at htmlgear.lycos.com isn't working. So I created one at Dreambook as a backup.

I just got home a couple of hours ago from being away from the house since friday evening. I was over my Grandmother's house on Friday and Saturday, but I ended up over my Aunt's house for the rest of the 3-day weekend. It was cool though.

Man, I wanna go out partying with my friends though! But everyone lives on opposite sides of town with their own agendas, or they keep making, then breaking plans, or they have no way of getting anywhere (like myself), or can't even make plans in the first place cuz they got two kids to take care of, and looking to me for advice like I have any to give! I can't even keep my mind right sometimes from worring about others! Golden rule #1: take care of self. I think its a golden rule..

My big plan is to get the hell out of Cincy for spring break in late March. Have no clue to where I am going to. Maybe I should go up to Ann Arbor, Michigan and see my girl, Cass at the University of Michigan. Although it may be colder up there than down here, I just wanna get away from here for a week...and meet some cute guys, but thats another story.

I did meet this one guy this past Thursday; I was at the bus stop ready to leave campus and this guy was crossing the street, and approached me. I'm always getting hollered at weird times. I gave him my number, which I usually don't do, and talked to him one time and that was on Friday. I asked him how old he was and he said 25. I was like what? It didn't make much sense to me. I'm 19 he's 25. He's about 6 years older than me? wtf? But I ain't trying to sweat the situation! I have no time for any serious relations!

Since I'm on the subject of numbers, I wanna wish my boy Justin a happy birthday! His b-day is on the 22nd. Unfortunately, I didn't get the chance to get the email in time to hang out with him today. Aww... :(

I must go now, I'm hungry, and I have to get ready for class tomorrow. And besides, wrestling is on! :P

Just testing a popup link for the page...

















Monday, January 14, 2002

Ooh, colorful layout!

Some random test taking:

Only 16 percent?! I don't know whether to consider that good or bad. It depends on the situation.

This one is from a minute ago! I just forgot to post the thing:
I am 21-40% Ghetto



I WISH I was ghetto. I need to take them gold plated teeth and get some REAL gold teeth..

I found this link when I found the "ghetto" link. I talked to him for like a week or two, then just stopped. He don't look like that in person to me. Yeah, yeah, I told on myself. Who cares. I sure don't anymore. I'm learning to live with my regret, along with countless other regrets that I have had in the past. It's just a natural part of life.

download this! it makes sense!

Haven't done much browsing around on the web this weekend, due to staying over my Grandmother's' house all weekend, which is cool. I don't mind it at all. I did get some studying done Saturday afternoon at the campus library. Not my idea of spending a Saturday afternoon, but I have to face facts, I am in college, and there is no need for me to be a slacker. I'm trying to break the mold on that one, but like with any bad habit, it can get hard at times. Actually, I am quite proud of myself for even trying to study this weekend. Woo-Hoo!

I had a kick-ass friday afternoon though! I finally got to see my buddy June for the first time since Winter Quarter started! I might go and work out with her on Tuesday. I'm not much of the gym type of person, but I saw my stomach, and it could use some work, especially if I am scheming up a way to get out of Cincy for Spring Break! In other words: Road Trip! Just for one week I wanna be free of any stressing elements that make up my daily life, and meet some cute guys, Is that too much to ask for?

Random Shouts (Just because it feels right):
Mai
Rachael
Michael
Simi
David
Cassandra
etc
(i started to forget peoples names, oops!)

Feeling quite absent minded right now, I forgot the password to my new site that I am trying to work on when I have the time to. :P

...or its just my crappy pc, you decide.
I'm trying to edit the last entry, but it not functioning properly. It probably has something to do with the configuration of the bloggerbot function on AIM.
It's only Tuesday and I wished that it was the weekend already. I'm quite tired, and I just completed my 4th day of classes. Thank goodness the professors' strike didn't go on as scheduled- that would have sucked! It's 11:10 pm right now, and I am just taking a break from my studies. Have to continue with all the reading. To me that is the hardest part; I don't mind doing the written assignments, but it usually involves reading something prior to working on it. I got a email from a best friend from high school, to let me know that she and her fiance' has set a date to be married. It's in October, 2002. She also asked me to be the maid of honor! That's like major! I'm quite honored but clueless about the whole thing. I've been to weddings before, but never as a participant. Things will probably go smoothly, cuz it is going to be a small affair. But it's so far away from now, with it only being January. In other news, I went to my co-op general meeting today. There were only three people, including myself. One of the guys was kinda cute :) Ha ha, I got to see some eye-candy today! :P With this miserable Winter weather going on right now, even the little things can cheer me up.

Crap, damn aol wouldn't let me copy the joke. I should have known.
I'm on AIM right now and I just read this joke on the AOL today screen that pops up when you log into instant messenger:

Newest project:
coming soon
Happy 2002 Everyone!
I was a little bored for a moment when I was at my Auntie's house new year's day and I wrote this entry of sorts in my little "idea book" that I keep with me:

Happy New Year: new year, old problems lingering...
Went to a party at my (Great) Aunt Betty and Uncle Charles's house last night. My Mom and I went along with our Aunt Brenda, Aunt Roena and Cousin Nashia (otherwise know as Aunt Pinky, aunt Ro and Cousin Turk, respectively). Ever heard the phrase: "you can be among a crowd of people and still feel lonely"? I was feeling that last night, without having my Dad there. It hit me at about 15 minutes until 2002. Around this time last year, Mom Dad and I were together as a family. Now eith just my Mom and I, it's very difficult to getting adjusted to the new format. I guess the pain just hits you all of a sudden like a sack of bricks. I definately got hit last night. But if it wasn't for my family, I wouldn't have ended up in a good mood last night: they kept me laughing, which really helped me a lot. Right now I'm at my Aunt Brenda's house chillin', just enjoying the sunshine flowing through the window. And just think for a brief second last night, as I cried to myself into my new year's hat, I felt like I was ready to die. But not today though- I feel differently about that. I'm on a mission. A mission to shine. My Dad would rather have it that way instead ot me joining him too soon. My fam wouldn't want that (either).
