well well....

So Saturday my oldest and dearest friend came to town for her sister's baby shower. So while the shower was being held, I took calls from my mom at home to find out the status of the UK & LSU game. I'm happy to say that my number 17 wildcats came away with the win over the number one team! After the shower we went to 4th street and met up with some friends who were already going. I had fun, danced the whole time that I was there and ended up meeting up with an old friend after the club =). The weekend was pretty cool. I had to work @ 8am Sunday...so you know I was ready to pass out the whole time I was there. Luckily, I only had to work 8-1. I came home and passed out. I'm on fall break now, and I have a ton of homework. But have I started on it? No. Maybe I'll do it a little later. Man I hate school. I work too much, and I think that is the reason why I am so over schoolwork. I'm a little excite about reconnecting with the old friend the other night...I really like him so hopefully things may work out! Peace!!!

Unappreciated

So...I guess I've been thinking about you-know-who really heavy lately. I'm kinda sad that it's all over, but in a way I am relieved. I guess I should be happy that I didn't waste too much time in a relationship that wasn't going anywhere...but I still miss him. I miss how he smells, I miss how he talks, I miss how he drives....I just miss him. It just seems like I worked so hard for this relationship to work...I really wanted it...but he didn't. And I can understand his reason for doing the things that he did...to a point. I was just trying to be there for him while he was going through all of these things. And he kept pushing me away. And now it's over. I admit, I wasn't perfect in the relationship, but I was always honest. And I always tried. So now it's kinda weird not going out with him, or even calling him anymore. I erased his number from my phone so I wouldn't have to see his name all of the time. But now I want to call him...I don't know what I wanna do!!!!! Help!

The B*tch is Back!!!

So that annoying lady at work is back from vacation. Ahhh!!! Anyhoo, I've been extra busy these past few days. I've been car shopping, catching up on homework and basically doing the things that I need to do. I'm thinking about cutting back at work, I am working 30+ hours a week and taking 16 credit hours at school. Sometimes, I wonder how I have time to have a social life at all. I did go out Saturday night, we went to this club called "Billy's" and I distinctly remember my mom hanging out there with my aunts when I was little. Since I just turned 21, I didn't know what to expect. All I remember is I got one long island ice tea and by the time the cup was half empty, I was doing the cupid shuffle all ass backwards. Then I had to use the restroom so I had to drunkenly navigate myself to the bathroom and wait in line. I almost fell off the toilet lol. When I was leaving the restroom I saw this dude who cut hair across the street from the kroger that I used to do cakes at. He was trying to holla lol. He is like 34! I tried to kick game to him when I worked at the store that he came in because he looked like Bobby Valentino. But I was so messed up I told him to come find me. Can't remember if he did or not...
And not this dude dancing all up on me talking about "I just got out the pen 12 hours ago...i'm trying to stick something" I wiled out on him so quick! Nasty, probably got AIDS. I got my play brother to come over to me and old dude bounced quick. I guess he didn't want to ruin his first night out lol. Well, i'll post more tomorrow. I need to come up with daily themes lol. Holla!

Sanjaya's hair looks better than mine =(

So I was @ the workplace yesterday and we had a long line...as usual. One of our regulars came in and I rang her up and sent her drink order down the line. She decides to start up a conversation with the lady making the drinks and they start looking at pictures. They are just a giggling and meanwhile the drink orders are piling up. I looked their way and saw that the customer was showing Anne (the lady who irritates me at work) a picture of her daughter and Sanjaya from American Idol. I was like "Anne, can you get these drinks made or move out of the way and let me do it?" She and the customer looked at me all sideways like I had just asked them to drop down and get their eagle on. But her arse moved on down the line and Anne got to those drinks. She bothers me sometimes, she acts good and dingy, but she is older than my mom! That lady act like a 12-year-old. Anyways.... we have to do group projects in my Educational Psychology class. I wanted to be in the group with this FINE motorcycle riding dreadlocks having chocolate man...and I got my wish. Too bad our topic is "educational equity" and half of my group mates don't know what "equity" means. SMH. This is gonna be a looonnnnggg semester.

Me + Math 151 = trouble!

So I bombed my math test...no shocker. I hate that class. It was raining, so I couldn't concentrate lol. I went to work today and as usual some crazy stuff popped off. Our head manager threw a box of signing materials at our boss. She went off. Sent him a nasty e-mail talking about how he disrespects us in front of customers. I try to stay out of their mess. This lady at work thinks I hate her. She is a bossy heifer...but she is so not important. She pisses me off because she goes behind me on everything I do. I have started saying "you do it" to her when she asks me to do stuff. I'm not 4 years old...I know how to mop a floor. She's older than my mother though so I "try" to respect her. Try. I'm just so ready to start my career. Starbucks is cool, but I don't see myself there past next spring. I'm trying to get a job at the Board of Education so when a teaching job comes up...they will know who I am! I'm working on my education portfolio so I can have some good references and job experiences to help me out. I'm also learning American Sign Language and Spanish so I can be marketable. Hopefully I can get a TA job in January...keep your fingers crossed. I've been thinking about this guy a lot. We met 2 years ago while working in the mall and we hit it off quickly. He goes to school 2 hours away and he came home last week to take care of some business. We went to dinner and all those felings that I had for him just came out. He is going for his Masters so he will be down there for another two years...but I really want to make this work. He is tall, dark, educated and still hood. We are both about the community and using our education to help our people and I love that about him. I'm going to visit him when I get my new car. Maybe I can put that in his ear. Well I need to study...toodles!

F--- customer service. Feel that!!!

I work @ starbucks. Most people think that it's a good job...and i'll admit...it's pretty cool at times. But some of the things that I hear daily...make me crazy. This man asked me to put 3/4ths of a packet of sweet and low in his tea. Like I really was gonna measure that shit out. Pour it out on the counter and get my razor blade out and chop it up into 4 pieces like it's some cocaine. Boooo! Then he had the nerve to say it was a little too sweet and he asked did I put the whole pack in there. I just looked at his pasty, square lookin ass self. He turned and walked out the door. Most days I laugh at the ignorant requests that I get, but today was not a good day. Maybe I should start a whole new blog about the stuff I hear @ work everyday. White people are hilarious. I love white people, I see them at the family reunions and stuff...but they make me crazy at work. I'm gonna start a new blog with my take on events that happen in Louisville. As soon as I wake up lol.

21

So I turned 21 this past friday and I used that day to really think about the direction that my life is going in. I'm a little over halfway finished with school, and I've finally decided on what my career path is going to be. Things are ok at home, I really want to move out but I have to find a job that pays well and is flexible about my school schedule. Me and you-know-who aren't speaking much but that's ok. I am starting to understand how relationships can be a distraction, especially when they aren't healthy strong relationships. Hopefully one day soon I'll find a guy who is right for me. But I have realized that my time here on earth is very short...and I have got to live life to the fullest. I have to do it big for the people who didn't have a chance to see 21...Nikki & Mike...this is for you!
