Good Spirits

i know i know... its been a while. but i've been busy and stressed as hell.

i had 4 tests, a paper and a lab re-write do this week. my 4 tests ended yesterday afternoon (same time that my paper was due) and my brain has been on break since then. i refuse to think until school is back in session after spring break.

happy st. patrick's day! feel free to start getting drunk at any time.

my life has changed... for the better i'm thinking. i kinda retired. that decision came from a mixture of things. we won't go into all the ingredients of that mixture, but what's weird is that my cousin influenced me in a way. thats weird because my cousin is not exactly the most responsible person in the world. but he had a good point. he's the one with the baby girl that i have a picture of a couple of entries back. anyway, he's gettin older... 22 now... so i can take heed to what he says. you're right trey.

star jones has lost a lot of weight. she looks like a tootsie pop now though. her head is rather bulbous.

i cut my hair recently. well, i've been cutting it, but i've had it in braids so you couldn't see how short it was getting. but now all the perm is gone and i'm rockin the bush like my mama. everybody says i look more like my mom now, which is cool cause she's a pretty lady :) i'm getting used to it, but i didn't really like it at first... i was kinda leery as to how the "public would react" haha... but who cares. its MY hair. shit.

so... spring break... plans anyone? everybody keeps asking me where i'm going. i'm going to sleep dammit. i plan to lounge around and do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. i mean, yea i'll go out and prolly hit up atlantic city right quick (gotta love that free money) but nothing is planned. and that's the beauty of it all. i'm off school, i'm off work, and i have no schedule so when i say "it's whatever" it's really whatever. if it's 4am and you wanna do something, by golly by george, LET'S GO!! i'm excited. i love big chunks of free time.

sooo what else? umm... ohhh! i bought my cap and gown this week!!! that was exciting as hell. i mean, i already know that i'm graduating, but it's actually starting to materialize, you know? i got my 2005 tassle and i was wearin that shit on my coat button. advertisin to everybody that i walked pass... "I'M GRADUATING!!!!" hell yea baby.

annnnnd.... i got into grad school :) yay for me! i got my acceptance letter earlier this week. my mom read it to me over the phone. and when i say she read me the letter, thats what i mean. LITERALLY. i mean, she didnt just read the first line that gives me the gist of the decision they made. nooo, not my mom. she's so into detail. she read me the whole 2-3 page letter including future requirements and orientation information.... it was so unnecesarry, cause i really just needed the one-liner that said i was in. but hey, thats my mommy. gotta love her.

ugh... my stomach is hurting now. i think i have cramps or somethin (yea tiane i know, tmi). prolly from some shit i did that i know i shouldn't have done. anyway...

so besides that... shit is going pretty good right now for me. look at this list.

• got a good job
• doing ok in classes (could be doing better, but lets not forget that i'm lazy - plus c's get degrees!)
• graduating (after 5 long years)
• got into grad school
• i'll get my raise once i graduate and give nasa my acceptance letter into grad school
• got a fat ass refund check from good ol' uncle sam
• paid off my credit cards (well, theres still like a $300 balance on one of them, but dammit it used to be $2300+, so i consider that paid off)
• turned in my application for summer staff (cross your fingers)
• on my way to buying my house by the turn of the year (prolly by february 2006)
• and i'm finally enjoying myself

lookin good baby. lookin good.
