Transitions

goooooooood morning!!! it's good to be here :) i'm so loving and living life to the fullest right now. good things are happening and i couldn't be happier. it seems everything makes me happy and i'm on a high right now that i probably won't come down from for a good month. besides the bullshit that i'm goin thru at work with this chick that once held the title of supervisor, shit is gravy.

this will probably get a little lengthy now because i have to condense about 2 months into one post.

let's go back about 3 weeks. MY BIRTHDAY!! let me just say that i had a fantabulous time that day and the following week. my friends and family are the best. and when i say that, i ABSOLUTELY mean it. we chilled on friday (my birthday eve) and brought the day in quite proper. then i woke up with a headache so i slept in for as long as i could. my mom came by and gave me my birthday cake that she makes from scratch every year (german chocolate... mmmm). we went to a few stores and she bought me a new memory card for my camera. we came back to school and mr. tony came thru to say happy birthday before he whisked her away to some sort of concert. so i went back to sleep for a little while before chris and terrell came over to take me to the mall. chris got my phone covered at that phone stand outside of FYE. we walked around the mall and went to see rafeal at the tmobile store. he gave me a free car charger and pink bumpers for my sidekick to match the cover that i was getting. we then had drinks and appetizers at duclaw. then we went back to school. and when i got there.... SURPRISE!! myra, rea, ryan, ari, andrea, sean, angela and my mom and mr. tony were outside waiting with balloons and candles set up on the picnic tables outside of rea's apartment. i went inside and there was a large spread of all types of food and a cake with purple icing on the borders and winnie the pooh which also had a picture of me on it. maaaaaaaaan, that was the greatest. more people came thru later and i had the greatest time.

then i had to snap back to reality for a bit so i could pack. it was late as hell, but we were leavin on a plane at 8am the next morning to go to vegas so i had to get my shit together. i slept on that whole plane ride. i'm glad we didnt have any lay overs on the way there.

vegas was the bomb dot com. me and myra were livin it up for a week. the first day we got there (sunday) we slept the whole day away because we were so jet lagged. the next day, we stayed in the hotel room for a good part of the day with our robes on, watching movies and eating room service. haha... givin em drama. we hit the casinos, lost a bit, then won big. we took advantage of the free drinks while gambling and we learned to play 3 card poker to get a more money from big daddy vegas so we could do some shopping. we found tight ass sales on shoes and bought multiple pairs. we ate at the buffets and went to the different malls. we went to get tattoos on the inside of our wrists, but i chickened out. we met robert townsend and took a picture with him outside of the cafe in our hotel. we went clubbin at caeser's palace and partied on the roof overlooking the strip. man, i had the greatest time. it was so relaxing and fun. i was pooped by the time we got back so i had to take that monday off work to recoup.

then things were back to normal for the most part.

oh and now we're back together. that's right. round 2.

chris and t are finally moving into their house soon. the house they live in now is damn near gutted. there's no longer a comfy black couch to fall asleep on as soon as you walk thru the door. we have to sit on the fold out chairs until the big move. i think we move in next friday (haha... i said "we") they'll be in crofton but i won't be far behind because my aunt says that we're gonna start lookin at houses in january. or maybe condos. we'll see.

i started moving out of my place in terrace seeing as how the summer is coming to a close. luckily i didn't have to move home after all... that would have been a pain. all the driving to and from work and to and from school. i don't think i would have been able to handle it. the way things are working out now is perfect because i still get to stay on campus, but its in a grown ass way... not in the res life way.

that's another thing. i'm so excited to be done with res life it's not even funny. the shit ends on friday and i'm soooo ready for it to be over. i just gotta man the desk friday 9am - 8pm, then i'm out this biotch.

now school starts in 2 weeks and i just found out that i have received a fellowship from the IS department! yessss. this is grand. so now i'll be getting my doctorate and i will be known around these parts as dr. j. :)

and you will address me as such...
