semester is over

sorry everyone i know i have been missing for the past week but it was finals week last week and this week so my head has been buried in the books... with some slight time for twitter... sorry its my guilty pleasure now... anywho according to my transcripts i didnt do so well in school this semester but to me i did great. i made a C in chemistry and i danced all day.. i worked so hard for that C it was ridiculous . talking about i stopped studying for all my other classes and was just focused on this one damn class.. i also made a C in my english class i am not too happy with that grade, actually i am going to my professor tomorrow to speak to her about my grade because i really thought that i was going to make a B. i made a B in my human sexuality course and im waiting for one more grade which i am positive will be an A. anyway so I guess i didnt do that bad but that C in english really threw me off. I am just glad the semester is over and i can relax. i slept all day yesterday it felt so damn good not to have to wake up at seven to go to class and coming back home at eight.. felt sooo damn good.

the seven levels of intimacy

today i will be starting and finishing (big procrastinator) this book. it is for my personal relationships class and i have a paper due on it tuesday. i have known about this paper since the first day of class but like most people i thought that october was far away and then it snuck up on me. i started to read it earlier (only reached chapter two) but it was so boring that i kept falling asleep after every page. hopefully i can get further along today... so today i will preoccupied with reading this book and starting my paper.

nasty

i was speaking to a fellow classmate yesterday and she informed me that she too used to "talk to" my ex and that they had sex... hmmm this is like the fifth person and we all know one another. this is ridiculous.. then on top of that another female over heard us speaking and she notified us that he had sex with her old roommate... i came to one conclusion.... HE NASTY AND WEST GA IS TOO SMALL

chemisty class

so today my chemistry professor posted the mid point grades and i am making a 65 in the class.. hmmm i dont know how to feel about this. i wanted to do sooo much better and because of this i am a little disappointed, but at the same time i am horrible in chemistry so i am kind of glad that ihave a 65... all i need is five more points to make a C. is that a bad way to look at things? well im not one to settle but when it comes to chemistry if its at least a C, i take what i can get. i just really need help. i have been going to tutoring. still hasnt clicked in my head yet but hopefully it will soon. i mean we still have to take a midterm, final and two other exams plus labs, workshops, and class participation so i am sure i can make it work. wish me luck

argh

tired as all hell.... chemistry is kicking my ass... im failing and its only the middle of the semester... help

be safe

i hope all my fellow georgian bloggers are okay, especially those of you who are in the metro atlanta area. i myself am in douglas county and i attend school out in carrollton so we have had it pretty bad out here, but thanking God that I am alive and happy that I am not one of the five (four in douglas county, 1 in carroll county) who have died on this side in the past day. but its pretty bad out here. several roads have collapsed, people have been forced to evacuate, some evacuation areas like near my campus is voluntary though but they warn that if you do not leave if anything was to happen to you no one can get to you. it sucks that west ga still has class scheduled. im like really are you serious i literally have water up to my knee and you still want me in class. sucks ass.... anyway on a better note im on crutches... lol... i have to make light of the situation or else i will cry. i fell downstairs early yesterday morning, i thought i was on the last step but i wasnt i was two steps up and i took one giant step down, right foot kept on going down looking for the stair, fell down, knee snapped back, ouch... i was in so much pain, i have been popping pills all day yesterday and i will be popping them all day today... anywho i was just updating you all on whats happening on this end. you stay safe... xoxo

school sucks

ok so this semester has been hectic already and we are only a month into school. this semester i am taking up chemistry with the lab, english, personal relationsips, and human sexuality. between the english and the chem i dont know which one is going to make me fold first. already written two papers and had one chemistry exam (which i bombed). i took that exam so damn confident and when i seen my grade i cried... I CRIED. i mean i thought i was going to do sooo much better than that.. i guess im not as smart as i think i am. after the exam though i doubt myself everyday. i used to walk into class confident, now i walk into class questioning everything and now that is confusing more than i originally was. i dont know what to do. you will think that after three years i would be used to this but im not. i feel dumber with each passing year. its whatever...

just a little recap of whats been going on

these past couple of days have been pretty uneventful..nothing interesting. just the normal, school, some relationship things ( i wont call them issues), friends and the randoms...

school:

i took my last final today so i am now officially on break. that final was intense. well anatomy and physioloy is intense by itself let alone the exams my head is always spinning.. anywho i didnt go to bed till after six and then turned right back around and woke up at nine thirty so yeah i was definitely sad that i wasnt able to sleep longer but i rather be tired than fail a class cause i missed my final. so far i am walking out the semester with one A, four B's, and one C. i am not too happy about the C but the A will weigh it out. it was only a one credit course (lab) so its not really that big of a deal. i still feel like i was jipped out of a grade so im in the process of appealing (yes i start early..waste no time)

relationship:

so this weekend my boyfriend called me like if everything was good, we talked for three hrs. he did most of the talking i just listened. i dont know how to feel right now or what to think so im just observing. i have decided that im not trying to make anything work if he is not willing to. it makes no sense to be in it alone. but once again he was acting like everything is good and there is nothing wrong. he was speaking like if we are on good terms like how was used to talk. he is convinced that i have something goin on with someone else especially with "A" i keep telling him that there is nothing there but whatever i just think thats the game he is playing because he doing his own shit. my ex that i will just call "C" i spoke to him as well on friday, just catching up because its been so long. it was great talking to him again it was weird because before he called me i had been thinking about him for a couple of weeks. i mean he has been on my mind alot and i dont know why. he now has a new job and its only three minutes away from my house. we plan on going out and doing lunch this weekend so that should be interesting. "A" and i were supposed to go to the movies this past weekend to see obsessed but i had to cancel because i really needed to study for finals. felt bad but school comes first. im still trying to get over the fact that he is leaving soon for the marines but i cant help but support him because he really wants this and this is the first thing i have ever seen him work so hard for. so i am definitely proud of him. he says he is going to write a letter for everyday he is away and that he hopes i will write back. "of course i will" is what i told him because i will. anyway summer is here so im not really trying to think too much of my boyfriend or get into anything with anyone else. this is my season to do as i please...

friends...:

or acquantances...i have cut alot out of my life. i mean bitches show their true colors when the kitchen gets too hot. i dont have time to have place holders in my life. i just feel like if you are going to be a friend be a friend.... not a part time friend, a seasonal friend....but a FRIEND... a "ride or die fool" FRIEND...i have a couple of ride or dies...and those are my oldest friends so now im feeling like there is no need for me to invite new people into my life.

randoms:

thirty something year old bitch in my class wanted to fight me because i "stare too much"...this lady for some reason looked at my sister and i in the beginning of the semester and automatically made up her mind that she aint like us.. cool whatever...im not going to lose sleep and i am not here for you. point blank simple. all semester she been bitching my sister and i up but never to our face always to fellow students in th biology building. for a second i felt like i was back in high school and she was the super super super senior (x15) i mean lets be real lady you grown. im grown. we both grown. so all semester she never said anything to me come the last day of microbiology class she want to step to me. but she was suprised when i answered her ass back i guess she aint expect it but whatever. i may smile and laugh alot but im no push over. plus i had my "BROOKLYN only the strong survive shirt" so you know i was ready. so she came to me and it went like this

her: excuse me hunny are you okay?

me: why are you talking to me like we are friends

her: because everytime i see you, you are always staring at me!

me:last time i checked these are my eyes so i can look at whoever i please. i didnt know that there were stipulations on my eyes

her: i was just asking because you seem to h....

before she could finish i cut her off

me: to have a problem?! no there is no problem, i just dont like you.. now if you think thats warrents a problem then yes we have a problem

she was shocked i answered her back so she just kept it moving...

school x3

so the school yr has officiallybegun again.. and me personally i couldnt wait.. but now that it has started i am stressed out more than ever.. i guess i hadnt noticed how much i was doing all at once. i mean its alot. college period is hard but just imagine if you were me. i put way too much on my plate and i am kind of mad at myself. but anyone who is in school knows that in life you do what you have to and college you do as much as you can afford to get out. right now i am taking courses at two schools. west ga and west central. anyone who knows ga or at least the west side knows that these two schools are at least thirty minutes apart (without traffic). so almost everyday of the week i have to rush from one campus to another. my day starts at 8 and does not end until 4. then i have to come home and take online classes... arghhh i feel like i want to just pass out sometimes... but you do what you have to do right so i chose to attend school x3..

voting for obama because he is black

i dont understand why when people ask me if i am voting for barack because and my response to them is "yes" that have a look of shock on their face... they look like" damn well i knew that was the reason but i cant believe she actually admitted it". my response to you is damn right i am admitting it. listen people i will be voting for barack in november. but my decision is not solely based on the fact that he is black, but i will not lie him being black is a big factor in my decision. and i do not feel bad about it. i hate when people try to make other feel guilty when they admit to this. do you know how long my mother, myself, and our ancestors have waited for this. i dont think black people realize how far we have come but how much further we have left to go. a black man can identify another black mans struggle. a white man cant do that, especially no damn republican as old as john mccain. so dont try to make me feel bad because i dont and i wont. i have many white friends, and i am blessed to be able to encounter many open minded white people (we keep it real i dont call them caucasion they call me black and i call them white). of course my friends and i have disagreements and there are certain things that we will never agree on but that is the same for my black friends. i have one friend named amy and she is a republican. one day we was speaking and we were being open and honest, i asked her are you a republican because you believe in what they represent are because your parents are republicans and that is all you know. she straight up told me she is a republican because her father is a republican and you can not be a democrate and live in his house. i am a democrate mainly because i was taught and raised to be a democrate. but if i was a republican i will still vote for barack just because he is black. white people vote for other whites all the time. how many times have a black person had good values, backgrounds, and ideas and lost to a white man who is corrupt or not as qualified all because of the color their skin? too many times! so why should i feel bad because i am doing it? i mean i have done my research and barack obama plans are great to me, especially considering the fact that i am a college student. if you research barack you will see that he plans on college tuition and making school more affordable are great ones. he proposes the American Opportunity Tax Credit. this will make the first 4000 dollars of school completely free. so the student do not have to pay for the first 4000 and this plan will also pay for 2/3 of college cost there after. many of us who will be voting in november or either college aged audlts are the elderly. whoever lands in office will affect those of us who are 40 and younger the most, especially college aged voters. so you tell me have mccain offered anything that will wow you? hell he sure hasnt done that for me and that is just my final thought. so what do you think, does barack skin color has a part to do with your decision in november?

school and financial strains

so fall semester starts on the fifteenth and i am deathly afraid. i know it sounds crazy like who would be afraid of school. well i am . not because of the hard work and the academics. this will be my third year so i am used to it. i am afraid of the financial challenges that await me. to be honest i am not even sure if i will be able to attend classes when aug 15 come around. financial aid has not been granted yet and they tripping right now asking for all these diff paper work that i never heard of before. if financial aid dont pay i will be so disappointed and upset cause i really do want to be in school. its like fafsa dont realize we are in a recession and people are not making half the money they were 5 months ago. hell i no i dont have it like that. pay rate is going down and living expenses are going up. even if i do get into school i can already tell you i wont be able to pay for my books. being a nursing major comes with all these added expenses that are looking like the enemy to me right now. lab fees, insurance, have to pay for own materials, tuition, books. im telling you everything adds up.. last semester books alone was 700 for 5 classes. this semester i am taking 6 classes so i wonder how much it would cost me now... i just hope things get better and that i will be able to make it financially and emotionally this semester. peace
