OMG!

OMG!! HI!!!

I haven't posted up here in sooooooooooooooo long, and with that being said, it would be completely pointless to even attempt to catch you all up on what's happened in the past 7 months. I was reading my last post and I will say that someone did get me those Lil' Wayne tickets...or two someones, lol...and 21's the best age I've ever been, LOL!! Besides 4...and 5...and 7...and 10...and all of those other years that I had no responsibility, LMAO!

Well, I do have good news! I finished the manuscripts for my first two books and the release dates for both are set! There's some technical work to be done, but within the next few months, my premier title will be on sale and I'll officially be a published author! I'm so grateful to God for all of the blessings that He has bestowed upon me. So, so, so, so, truly, truly, truly grateful! Another exciting tidbit of information is that I made it through my first semester of grad school...with a 3.8 GPA! Of course, I'm scheming on a 4.0 this semester, but I'm still elated that I did so well on the last one.

Hair update: the babies are long and getting longer! As of late, I've stopped going to the hairdresser and started retwisting and styling them on my own, and I must say, I'm impressed--both with how much I'm saving and how immaculate they are. Thus far, I've done pipe cleaner curls and I've used some hard rods...I don't know the technical name for them...err cold rods? Idk...but anyways, I really like the hard rods. I think the pipe cleaner curls may turn out better when my hair is a bit longer tho. I've also done a few up-dos and had some crinkles, both of which were fairly enjoyable...

Well, that's all that I can think of. I'll try not to get all famous and forget about my little ole' blog...haha...I kid, I kid!

TTYL!

HI!!!

I haven't blogged in soooo long!! You know how you have a lot to catch up on, but it's SO much that you can't really remember everything?

Yeah, so I'm definitely having one of those moments...

Well, let's see where to begin--I'm going to grad school!!
I found out about a month ago that I got accepted, so I prayed, talked to some friends, and decided that it would be a better decision for me to go straight to school rather than take one of the jobs I was offered or move as I was planning to do. I went to orientation a week or so ago and I'm really eager to begin school in the fall. Unfortunately however, the work has already began as we have to write a whole new personal statement in order to get a practicum placement...but I'm good for it so I won't complain!!

Another exciting thing is that my 21st birthday is vastly approaching. 10 days and counting!! I'm uber excited because I'll finally be grown!! This is a pretty monumental birthday in my opinion and I can't wait to celebrate! Hopefully someone will get me those Lil' Wayne tickets I've been ranting about (LOL)

Hm, let's see what else?? My locs are growing and locing rather nicely. Currently, they need to be retwisted, but I have this really cute way of twisting the two sides outward and pinning it back and I've gotten a lot of compliments about that, so that's how it's going to stay until my hair appointment. This week, three of my friends have birthdays, one of which has decided to have a million and one festivities (on different days), so I guess I'll be having the same hairstyle for every one of her celebrations. June is also home to my younger sister's birthday and just acted as the month in which her and my younger brother graduated from my alma mater. That was really exciting, especially because my best friends came out and supported. It's so nice when friends become family, and when people are as loyal to you as you are to them. In the past, present, (and I'm sure, future), I've encountered a lot of shady people so it really means a lot when dependability and support are reciprocated.

So, the last thing I can think of talking about is that I got an IPOD Touch and I LOVE IT!! It's so amazing!! I used to be anti-Apple...I wasn't too vociferous about it, but I honestly didn't understand what the big deal was. I had my Blackberry and the radio in my car, and Pandora on a good day, so that was all the connectivity to the outside world that I needed...or so I thought. Until I met "Poddy." Now we're inseparable and I want to get "Paddy" and "Macky" to keep her company. It's so funny how I name everything that comes into my presence. For instance, the stuffed animals on my bed: Darcy, Colin, and Tiger. I love them (LOL).

Oh well, that's all folks :)

Graduation Pictures!




Me and two of my girls on graduation day! The anticipation level was high!

I GRADUATED!!

I did it...again!! All props to the Big Guy, of course.

I'm so excited about graduating. Way more excited than I was about it happening, before it happened. When I was actually in the moment I kind of regretted not decorating my cap festively like some of the other graduates did. But nothing's worse than the guy who was beside me. He didn't even want to be at graduation! And he said he'd just signed up yesterday, for his mom and dad. I actually wanted to be there, I guess I just didn't realize the significance of the moment prior to actually being in it. Just know that next time around, I'm going HAM!!

Tat Meanings.



This reminds me that I'm Royalty and most importantly that I don't have to put up with foolishness. I put it on my wrist so that at the random times that my Queenship slips my mind, it'll be within eyesight to bring me back to knowledge of it. With a Royal mindset, I easily dismiss silly little drama and people who treat me less than what I'm worth...it's kind of cocky, but a good cocky...because I'm not arrogant, but a lot of things are beneath me.
