Yay! Starting next month, I'm going go be working here as a work-study student, as well as at Langsam Library during the Summer Quarter. Went for the interview this past Friday, and it went well, plus it was brief, only a half an hour. I've been so caught up in getting all these assignments done that I haven't had the chance to get relatively excited about going to Montreal next month. Actually two weeks from Sunday. Plus I'm trying to get a commission based job, and do some internship work with a local music company this summer. I'm (trying to get) on a mission!!!

I was extremely excited to see my cousins grad last night. Mekaeila and Dalkesha both went to Hughes Center, which is across the street from where I am. It was great to go to a graduation ceremony, the last one I been to was for my cousin Troy and friend Mauriel back in 2001. They went to the same school also. From all the shouting and screaming that all of us did last night, I'm surprised that anyone of us isn't hoarse. It was just so energetic to be in the Cintas Center, cheering the both of them on, makes me look that much forward to mines in December, hopefully in December. It better be in December, the word gets around quick in my family. Just last Thursday, another one of my cousins was on campus promoting her job at a plasma care facility. One of the first things she said to me was "I heard you were graduating this December..." I responded with a "Dang, the word gets out quick! I just told my Mom just two weeks ago". And I heard that she had just moved out from her parent's place and has an apartment now. She told me that she just moved out like a week ago when I saw her. Thus, further proving my point that gossip gets out quick, at least on my Mom's side of the family.

Back to the graduation stuff from last night. My Aunt and Grandma were on some other stuff, to say the least, when neither one of them decided to go to the ceremony. And my Aunt came up here from Alabama. Enough said. I'm going to have to begin giving people ultimatum now in preparation for mines. If you're acting an ass, you can't go. If you copped an attitude over my cousin's graduation, you can't be there for neither one of mines. I already know now that I don't have the time or the patience to deal with someone acting a fool and waste a ticket when it can go to someone else who seriously gives a crap. So to keep from hearing anyone gripe and complain last night, a few of us (Mekaeila, here little sister, K'nya, our other cousin, I'yanna, my mom and myself) went out to Applebee's for a celebration dinner. The service was bad, but the food was good. I finally got to try that Blue cheese Sirloin steak they constantly showed on the commercials, for what seemed like an eternity. Which reminds me, that's going to be my snack when I get home this evening.

So, all and all, it was a great evening, and the energy was off the charts! Too bad that enthusiasm didn't carry over into today, not yet anyways, and it's already 3:21 in the afternoon. For now I must continue with the rest of the papers I have to type and group projects to collaborate on. At least this weekend coming up is Memorial Day weekend and I get Monday off to relax and get some work done. Knowing me, I'll probably be out shopping for that Montreal trip. :)
(Procrastination: "That's how I got through high school.")

Congrats to all the 2004 grads this year! You know who you are!
