I need to do better...

I started off so nice at the beginning of the year. I was posting stuff on a regular basis but after my phone was stolen, I slowed down...A LOT. lol. I have just had a lot going on. Between school, personal and church, I've been PRETTY busy. But one thing that was said in one of my classes yesterday motivated me to get back at blogging. Walter Mosley, an author we are talking about in my Black Authors class said that if you want to be a writer, you have to sit down and write, even when you don't feel like it. I AGREE! lol. I am going to start making myself write...starting today. I'm out for now, but I will be back.

Until next time...

Live and Learn

So I haven't posted in a while, which is pretty normal for me, but this time there was a legitimate reason this time. haha. My phone was stolen three weeks ago and I was really sad and mad about the whole situation. i was phoneless for like the first few days and through many failed ideas of trying to get another FREE phone, i decided to try Craigslist. I never tried it, but I heard that I would be able to find much cheaper phones than the one C Spire was offering. The first phone I found was an Iphone  4 for $200. I thought that was a great price. So I called, he answered, and we set up a time to me. Unfortunately he never showed. When I tried calling his phone, he didn't answer. I was disappointed, but nonetheless I tried Craigslist one more time. A few days later, I found an Iphone 4s 16gb for $250. That was better than the first deal. I called the guy to set up a day to meet, and we met. This time I had back-up though. We were meeting at night and I didn't know if he was crazy or not. Turns out he wasn't crazy, he was a thief. The guy sold me a stolen phone. I cried at C Spire when they told me the news. I just didn't believe people actually did stuff like that. SMH. Boy was I naive, but not anymore. After a comforting talk with my dad I felt better. You're not real until you make mistakes and learn from them. It shows growth. I might not have my Iphone anymore, but I'll eventually get one. Things could be so much worse.  I'm grateful for the lesson.
Until next time...

TAKE A CHANCE

So last week I was debating whether or not I should go to an interest meeting for a dance team at my school. I didn't know what to expect, and I was really just NERVOUS. I ended up going though. And from that, I was debating of I REALLY wanted to tryout or not. I hadn't danced in YEARS, and I didn't think I was good enough. I mean...everyone on the team is like aMAZING. I went to the first day of tryouts though. I'm happy I went. I applied to an internship too. It's on NY and they don't provide housing, but I still wanted to apply. I also agreed to cover a convocation held at our school for a Jackson newspaper. I was nervous about all these things, and still is because they are still going on, but it just showed me that sometimes you just have to take chances. How else would you know if you are good at something if you don't try??? I hope I succeed at all that I seek, and make sure I take the opportunities that are given to me. I mean...who KNOWS what can happen?

FIRST WEEK OF SCHOOL

So it's the first COMPLETE week of school, and it was kind of BLAH. I mean with the rain and 2 LONG afternoon classes,...SMH. It was NOT what was hot. Lol. I can DEFINITELY tell I am in my major. There is SO MUCH READING that I have to do this semester. Smh. "I'm not READY!" *kevin hart voice* I just hope that I can stay focused and get my work done. Of course I'll update on how that goes. Lol.

New Years Resolution

Just in case you haven't noticed, I'm making up for the MANY times I just DON'T post things. Haha. SORRY. But Christmas is just about over, and the next holiday is New Years. Everyone always has a resolution that they have EVERY year, and they ALWAYS forget about. Like eating healthier/losing weight. Well mine isn't THAT, though I have considered it a few times el.oh.el. My resolution always deals w/me and relationships, but this year I REALLY want to stick with it. I'm growing to be a BETTER me and try not to fall for UGH guys. Smh. So...we'll see how that goes.

What's On My Mind

So like ALWAYS...I've been thinking. El.oh.el. There have been things that have happened since the last post. Pretty much the usual, sex; drugs and guys. El.oh.el. jk Only ONE of those items I'm having issues with. :-) But I'm still growing and learning. I'm just trying to come into my own, and find me. So...YEAH. Haha.

Nothing Like Family

So first of all...MERRY CHRISTMAS to all. El.oh.el. I hope that everyone had a great day as I did. Today was GREAT, despite the CRAZY rain we got here. Smh. I got nice gifts, though the best gift of ALL is the birth of Jesus, I ate good food, and I spent time with the family. *sits back* I've enjoyed myself.
