...and now I've been back for a minute...

with no time to spare
can't even take a moment to catch some air

Ya'll ain't ready for my rhyming skills just yet..lol
Maybe the world can wait a little more, cuz that was borderline wack :) My craft of writing is an art in progress.

Anyway, I've been back into the swing of things campus wise. Started that new job at the Family Medicine Office. I just need to get on a better schedule and get out the house earlier. I've been late twice this week, which looks really tacky when I did it twice this week, which sucks. Just left from a debriefing meeting for Study Abroad. Thought about going on the one to Belize in September. But when they mentioned rainforest, I automatically began to think of spiders. They frighten me, even if it's a drawing of one; they make my flesh crawl. If it wasn't for my big fear of those ugly things, plus it costs $975 to go, I would go. It's a 10 day trip this time, to help a Women's organization construct a house and help with office work too. Hell, it wouldn't even count for anything if I go; I'm just about finished with all the required stuff, I'm just working backwards in the fall to finish up some lingering electives (History, Public Speaking). It would be for the experience. After getting a taste of being out the country for a week, I wonder what an entire quarter would be like on study abroad, besides hella expensive. If I can afford it post-graduation, I may take some time to travel around, who knows.

More of the birthday countdown: two days left. It's hard to believe that it's so close already. I could spare a few more weeks, really. :) Let my boy Rob tell everyone that I have a birtday (what seems like) every month, and that I'm 28. Subtract 6 years from that, and that's my real age, as of Friday. 22 on 7-02, that's cool. I'm going to make 70222 my favorite number for awhile. :) That's biased, but so what, it's my birthday! Yaay!

And now, It's about time to leave...

Well by this time Saturday night, I hope to be packed and ready to leave to go back to the airport to go back home. This has been an amazing week for it to be my first time out of US boundaries. I've been seeing and shopping so much this week that this was the only time that I could barely sqeeze in anything for an entry. I've got a couple phrases together in French, like hello, excuse me, goodbye, thank you (very much), and fries. I've done stuff normal to some, like ride the subway (they call it the metro in Montreal), among other things.
That's about all for now. This computer lab in McGill is quite stuffy- no air conditioning. The heat is making me sleepy...

Wow, tomorrow is the day!

I'm gonna make this my last post before I leave for Montreal bright and early in the morning...try 6am, and my flight leaves at 9:25am. It's a two hour flight and I'm going to be praying all the way there.
But in the meantime want to post a couple of links:

*UC Basketball coach suspended indefinately...
*This is where I'm studying at for the week. Yay!
*I Fell in love with Philly so much the first time I went in April, I'm thinking of going back for my birthday (7/2).

With all of the coverage of former President Regan passing, can't even hear much about Ray Charles passing this week, like he was just a blip on the map. That's wrong though. R.I.P.

That's all for now, I need to clean up and get some sleep. I'm out. :)

Usher and Kanye West in the Nati?! That's too good to be true!

MTV.com - News -Usher, Kanye To Bring 'The Truth' Nationwide

It's done. I'm going to see Usher and Kanye on August 13th. Hopefully the tickets won't be sky high, or otherwise, I'll just sit outside and wait for them to get into the tour bus. Ugh, that sounds like something a stalker would say. I'm just a fan trying to meet some celebs, that's all.

Boredom makes you post strange things

Today was really blah
I am making this journal Friends Only because of the perverts and stalkers who only want to see my photos.

Today, I got a digital camera! Yes! Here's ten thousand photographs of my cat.

I want to say thanks to the people that actually see my blog

You should all do this quiz! It's amazingly accurate. You just put in your name and birthday, and it will tell you next week's lottery numbers.

I got bored and happened to find this on my yahoo page when I log in. I'm bored at work and just took an exam this morning, just trying to pass the time so that I can go shopping for an outfit later on. Gotta have one new something to go to Montreal in! :)

That's enough for now. But I'll leave you with this thought - sharing your life with strangers on the internet is the cheapest form of therapy available. Leave a comment and tell me I'm beautiful.

One Week Left...

and I'm gone to Montreal. I'm actually getting excited about it now, especially after Friday's second and final meeting. One of my classmates from CoB is going. Everyone that's going is from CoB, but she's someone I'm actually cool with. Its gonna be fun all week. It's done!

Other good news, got awarded a scholarship from CoB. I just took one of those "what the hell, why not" chances in March and applied. Pretty much like I did with signing up for the Montreal study abroad. I got a notification Friday in the mail that I received a $1000 scholarship for the 04-05 school year. I only need it for the Fall Quarter, but who gives a damn, I got another scholarship, which I thought was seriously impossible by now. Expect the unexpected, pretty much.

Oh yeah, that Kanye concert was fun. Took him forever and a day to get to the campus, but it was worth the wait for a freebee concert. He had me weak when he played "You Don't Know My Name" (during a melody of songs he producd) and redid Alicia Keys's conversation where he called a girl and ended with "Yes, head will be perfect", in place of Alicia's "Thursday will be perfect". Also, found out that John Legend guy (the one that sings on "This Way" by Diolated Peoples, and that new Slum Village song) is from Springfield, Ohio. That's kinda hot, but when is Cincinnati gonna get on the map?

If my pics come out decent, I'll scan and post a couple. Since me and my friend Teresa was behind hella tall guys, we was just holding up the cameras toward the stage and hoping for the best. Out of the 25936906 pictures we took, one's gotta come out halfway decent.

I'm doing this for my girl Tala

She had these posted on her site a minute ago:

1. What do you think about when you can't sleep at night? I wonder what I am going to do the next day.
2. What is the first thing you think about when you wake up? Going back to sleep.
3. What do you have to fall back to when you are depressed? My favorite cd's, and old poems I wrote
4. What makes you cry? Missing my Daddy...
5. Which are more important to you...intentions or actions?
6. What could improve your life? I would like some peace please.
7. Do you believe in unconditional love? Yes I do
8. What makes you fall asleep at night? Boring television, rainstorms, or reading a textbook.
9. What hurts you heart? Having it broken.
10. How can I help you? I like hugs - they're free :)

The Busiest Day (in a long time...)

Okay, when it hits midnight tonight, I definately won't be upset. Today has been one of the most hectic days that I had in a long while. With this being the last week of classes prior to finals, it seems like everything for my classes was due this week, which sucked overall, especially since i'm taking 19 credits, trying to slowly kill myself. More like trying to get finished by December; making a small sacrifice, doing what I gotta do for now. This week alone, I had two group presentations, one group report, a business plan, and an extra credit assignment, all completed at the last minute somehow by the graces of God. I still have three exams next week, four counting a make-up exam from when I was still out of town in Philly/Jersey/NYC, and an 8-10 page reflective paper that's due next week. And I still have to prep for this study abroad trip that's less than two weeks away (notice that I changed the image above...)?! I seriously need a nap! Well, even after skipping out of Sports Marketing early today (just stayed long enough to turn in that extra credit assignment and get accounted for on the attendance), and getting a ride home from my Grandma (love her for that one, she saved me a 45 minute ride between two busses), and a quick trip to the grocery store (had to stock up on a few snacks in preparation for a cram session sometime this weekend), I STILL DIDN'T GET THAT NAP!

Well, the good thing about tonight is that Kanye West is gonna be on campus for free. Can't beat that with a stick, nope. That should brighten my spirits. But for now, I have to go and help my Mom with the groceries, get changed for this meeting (well, the concert actually, but I still have to meet with my study abroad group tonight), and calm down for a minute.
