Sometimes...

Sometimes I like you.
Sometimes I like you a lot.

Less things. More space. More Life.


Makes sense.

Waking up late. Feeling great.

I just thought the world should know I feel quite wonderful. It's great to have mentees that become your real friends (cough Shay cough), and who are talented and help you with your hair. It's wonderful to meet knew people and just talk. I honestly had one of the best conversations I've had with a guy ever last night and we talked about the most random things in the world. It was wonderful. I also am COMPLETELY DONE with my undergraduate career so I got to sleep until I woke up which would have been about 10 minutes ago. Yup. Life is good.

My duece put it best:

My Life Line is what keeps my heart pumping and my mind focused.. My attitude is Contagiouz so move or catch it. I love MY Sororz!!

Good morning. & . Good night.

I've level my friends in my brain. Although it sounds bad. It's actually a good thing.

I've been doing a lot of reflecting lately. Partly because I'm dealing with a lot of issues within my circle of friends and partly because I'm freaking out worrying about life after May 21. Either way, I'm very happy for the very few friends I have. Recent events have really helped me see. It's so interesting how many different levels the people you call your friends can fall in. Not that you want to classify your friends, but I think its smart to know who 's who.

At the top, I have my friends I can trust with everything. Everything. These are rare. I know I'm a pretty reserved person with regard to my own issues and problems but I know that L, W, and K are there. We have disagreements, but we get over them. And it's a give and take relationship where I listen to them just like they listen to me. I'm SO appreciative of the fact these people are in my life and I think I might not show it enough so I'm going to work on that.

The next level of friends are really really good friends as well. I think that's where the majority of people everyone thinks are my best friends or in my clique fall. This is not to say I don't trust these people. However, they aren't as open as my friends at the top with sharing, or I need to censor or not discuss certain topics around them because of their reactions and actions after hearing it. OR these people get along with me really well and we kick it on the regular, but we don't really talk.

It's just interesting to think about.

Anyhoo enough babbling

What makes a good daughter?

So, like a true WashU student let me share with you some random thoughts that popped into my head while trying to cram to finish a homework assignment.

I was researching the familial roles and relations of families in siglo 17 (the 17the century) in Spain...focusing on the roles of unwed daughters. During that time women were subjected to the hidden lines separating their private home lives from their public lives outside the safety and security of their homes. It was dangerous for unwed women to leave the house without a family member because outside the safety of ones house young unwed daughters are subject to the perils of having their virtues lost or rumors that they've done something uncouth which still loses them their public appearance of being virtuous.

Of course it is now 2010 and I do not live in Spain but what are the dangers of me venturing out into the world alone? I feel like that's about to occur. Yes, I've pretty much been on my own since graduating high school but not really? I don't think I'm nervous about what lies ahead, I do however have a strong and fervent fear of loneliness.

Had this been 17th century Spain, and if my parents had money I would already have been married off (hopefully) to a nice husband who provides a house and economic stability to maintain my security and social status. Nowadays marriage cannot guarantee that, however it can guarantee companionship, assuming you really know and love the person you choose to marry. The one thing that still remains the same is that the marriage of the originally unwed daughter makes the parents happy.

Sadly, I can't think of anything that would make my mother, or myself for that matter happier than if I were to get married sometime soon and have children. Is that weird? I obviously know that I'm not a bad daughter for not achieving these goals at this time in my life, however, what makes me a good daughter? I honestly don't know. But it's something to ponder and work on.

Time Flies

It's almost been a year. I can't believe it.

I'm about to graduate...college. Who would have thought?

I'm supposed to be a grownup soon?

SHUT UP.

I'm going to sleep.

I can't think about such things.

Random thoughts and things I like...

Is there a fifth element?

So the movie "The 5th Element" has always been entertaining and interesting to me. I'm currently watching it with my best friends from school and I started to wonder...Is there a real 5th element?



The original 4 terrestrial elements are: fire, earth, wind, and water... that is commonly known information. Growing up in the 90s we all learned about the other element of Heart thanks to Captain Planet and Ma-Ti (who consequently I have called Ha-ji my whole life until just now looking up the Planateers names on Wikipedia).





After watching the 5th element I could consider Love the 5th element... as there is no reason for life without love.

When you google the 5th element it also suggests the 5th element on the periodic table, Aether from Greek mythology meaning heavenly light or that which fills up the space of the universe, or according to Aristotle it's quintessence

So what is it?

MLK Commemoration 2010 - Git on Board - Black Anthology

5 Things:

1) Dr. Martin Luther King Jr was, is, and will always be that deal.
2) Shoutouts to WU-Slam, Visions, for their performances!
3) Anyone and everyone should show up to support Black Anthology 2010. It will be the final time Class X gets to be a part of it. The show is on Feb. 5 & 6 at Washington University in St. Louis' Edison Theatre. http://edisontheater.wustl.edu/ovations/calendar.html
4) If you have not read or seen the Colored Museum I implore you to do so.
5) Here's my performance at the WashU MLK Commemoration 2010. It was a way to honor Dr. King and publicize Black Anthology.

Back to School Back to School

It's the first day of class!!!
It's the last first day of class in undergrad!

It's only 8:58 and today has already been a good day. I woke up on time, felt great. Put on some cute clothes made a mug of tea and headed off to hear about my independent fitness class. I love getting credit for something I already wanted to do anyways. It's fantastic. And my friend is in my class...plus she happened to be enrolled in Argentine tango and needed a new partner since her partner dropped the class...so I might be in that.

Currently...I'm cooking some breakfast, then I'll head off to work with my babies.

I'm just all smiles today. Probably a mixture of the goodness so far today, the high from performing for the MLK commemoration yesterday, and excitement for the rest of the day (TFA phone interview, hopefully booking spring break plans, hopefully some shopping, with luck a little Argentine tango, and of course a good time dancing it up with the Black Anthology dancers).

Catch ya later... PURRciZion

I've been slacking...I know

How many days has it been since I've posted. I need to do better. I'll double up some days. Promise. Currently i'm trying to get the apartment in order since RA training starts tomorrow so I'll post a long update later. But quickly a few random thoughts... I can't believe its been a year already been a year, I LOVE YA'LL!!!!, I can't believe its senior year, honestly applying to jobs and such doesn't even feel weird, it just feels like I'm applying for random internships for next semester...but there is no next semester, also, I love my new job, those kids make my day, and its SO close to home. Alright, I'm out. I've got too many dang clothes.
Peace.

Motto of the Day

Semper Fi

It's a good way to live.

No Cross-Country Running...but We Chill on the Regular

Let me put it this way, the big J and I don't go on cross-country runs together or anything like that...but we def. chill on a regular basis. So in case you didn't know, I am a friend of God.

That song is stuck in my head because I read a Facebook note one of my friends wrote ( I wasn't tagged in it, so clearly I was nosy) and it was a letter from Jesus to her friends. I don't know how I feel about such things.

Another random thought...I tend to hang out with a lot of Harambee people. I don't know if I'm actually a good representative for the organization because my church attendance is flaky and I'm definitely more spiritual than religious. I also don't have a holier than thou attitude or pretend to have one which Harambee has a reputation for. Oh well. Just something I thought about.

Have a good day back at school for everyone who's going back!
