Purses and Shoes

Ok as you should have already figured out I am a female, and as such I have a distinct love for purses and shoes. Not that I have a need to be fashionable or anything like that, but I just love to have a functional bag. Now the shoes they have to be cute.(Fashion here is a must).
The question that I have today is why do some people feel the need to rag on others who carry fakebags?
Now I personally would not a carry a bag that was obviously a fake, but as a college student I can not afford to pay for a bag that cost 200-300 dollars.... Thats 1-2 textbooks and a gas for almost a month. ( The way that I drive)
But really as we know at every HBCU in the country there are vendors that are going to sell knock-offs that are extremely close to what the real thing is supposed to look like. So why not cope a fake and still have money to go to the club with it or out to dinner instead of having to wrap the bag up and store it away in your closet because you have no money left to go anywhere and rock the bag.
Hey so I say if the bag is cute wear it.... if not just leave it alone.... and just so you know I own two Coach knock-offs and they are real cute.... For those of you that see me everyday see if you can spot them.

Hump Day Wednesday

So today I have a very important test (Biochem) that I feel ill prepared for but I'm going to chug along and go through the rest of the day studying... But I'm at work now.... ho hum. ( I've only had three hours of sleep so my mental capacity is not up to par)
It is so cold here.. What ever happened to gradual changes in the weather... one day the sun is burning a hole through your brain and the next your wearing layers ( But i did get to break out my new boots today so thats ok).
My room is in desperate need of a makeover.. it looks like Hurricane Wilma curved through there for a minute... but thats what usually happens when everything in my life collides (i.e. my two jobs and full-time education).
I'm going to try and make large strides today... so pray in general and in abundance for me so that I might accomplish my goals for the day.
Well thats all for now I might write more later.

Homecoming is Over and School starts Again

Well this weekend was homecoming and I was able to have a best time that I have ever had during a Famu Homecoming weekend. I'm getting closer to some of the goals that I have made for myself during the school year and I was able to hear something from someone that I was really speculating about but wasn't sure if I could ask about. So right now I'm walking on cloud nine until tomorrow when I have to start taking test again. Really tonight because I need to start studying.. I'm such a procrastinator.

Jobs... Addendum

Well maybe I'm not ready to quit just yet... you know how things change as the day goes on..... I'm going to let some of the changes go into effect... I'm going to stop being pigheaded and start speaking my mind about things that involve me. Ok Ok.

Jobs.....

Why do college students need jobs. Some people get them to pay their bills in their apartments, others get jobs to cover the cost of their education. Still others would just like to have Mad money that they can spend and throw away every month.
Well for the entirety of my college career I have worked for the Premier Electronics retailer Best Buy, and recently over the last two years I have been working an additional job just to make sure that I had an off-campus residence and could travel when I pleased. The problem is that I am tired and for the longest I have felt bad about being tired. I feel that everyone is counting on me... my bosses, my teachers, my advisor, my parents, and my self. I even have my little cousins that lookup to me and they want to be like me. Thats beginning to be a whole lot of pressure.
So over the last couple of weeks I have played the tired game; the one where I am unable to participate in the organizations that I am apart of, as well as not having anytime to enjoy myself and to study... I'm coasting and that is not how I wanted to spend my senior year. So in the next two weeks I will be giving my two week notice for Best Buy. The holiday season is coming and I'm going to spend that time with my friends and family. Two whole weeks in Mobile... with no worries.
So why am I still feeling guilty. I feel bad.. like I shouldn't be doing this. I have money and I can save enough to make sure that my bills are covered for the beginning of the year. Also if I absolutely needed help there are those people around me who could provide... but again I feel that I am letting someone down in my life. But that person is not myself.
I guess Homecoming has really been the last straw for me. I'm a Senior there is absolutely no reason that I shouldn't be enjoying this situation and feeling...
I guess I want to be what I have not been in a very long time and that is just a student. I want to be able to do the things that my counterparts do on a daily basis and have a amounts of quality time that they have. Plus as a student I can't be closing till 11:00 on a week day during the school year.
I'm beyond the wire at this point and I don't think anyone really understands that.
I'm going to focus and pull out a stellar year with my last opportunity. If anyone has a comment on working while being a student please feel free to post in the comments area.

MCAT Scores are Back

So last night after 12:00 (see college students do stay up after 12:00) I went online to find out what my scores were for the august testing of the MCAT. Although I didn't do bad .... It was definitely not my best. But I'm not going to take it again...Why you ask???
Because I already am accepted to Medical School, I retested to see if I could place extremely high and that didn't happen so I know of at least one place that I can go and several others that will consider me. So today I begin the journey to complete my AMCAS application because they are due for some of the schools that I'm applying to tomorrow.
The Vertigo is back.
I really don't need to be getting sick here at the end of my college career. I really need to go and see a doctor.. oh and take a vacation.

Another Thursday

Don't you know that during the year you start referring to the days as another Monday, Another Tuesday, another Wednesday... and so on and so forth. Well thats the plight of a college student. A friend of mine was saying the other day that you are just not a college student if you go to bed before 12:00 everynight,and the sad thing is that that statement is so true. My days begin to run into each other until the week becomes a blur. I have be experiencing some extreme cases of vertigo (dizzy spells) and I really want them to stop.(List: Remember to purchase some medication)
Homecoming is almost upon us and I'm trying to get my friends to come down and party with me..... Whoo hooo. Nothing like a FAMU Homecoming.
So the question of the day is:
How can I legally make money if I quit my jobs? So that I will still be able to pay my rent and put gas in my car. Those are the only things that I have to do.. Everyones input would be appreciated.

TGIF ( Thank God Its Friday)!!!!!!!

It's the end of the week and what a week it has been. I'm tired, depressed, and wore out and all of this is just going to repeat again next week but it's Friday and I don't have to work again until Monday at the earliest. ( But as you know school work doesn't end). So I plan to take a relaxing break over Saturday. Try to clean my room to bring back some organization to my life.

Famu Homecoming ( Whoop, Whoop, Whoop)
It's finally here..... My very last Homecoming. I really can not believe that graduation is oh so close but yet so far away.
For those of you that have never been to a FAMU Homecoming it is an event to end all events. I will repost with the schedule attached at a later time. But the ENTIRE week is filled with events. There is nothing like it in the world.

Well I'm going to try and get some rest after I get off work and wake-up rolling in the morning. Peace.

Blahhh Tuesdays

Well this is another Blahh Tuesday, it is only 1pm and I'm already tired but my day doesn't end until after 12 tonight. The things we college students do for money. I'm thinking about skipping class and just going home and taking an hour nap.That way I'll be ready for more work and for my interview for SGA senator. I want that position so bad but I don't think I will get it with bloodshot eyes they will probably think I'm on crack or something.

Ok so the dilemma today is whether or not to wear earrings to the interview. I have a nice pair that match the dress shirt that I'm wearing today but I'm not sure if those earrings aren't to flashy, I feel that they may detract from the seriousness that I'm trying to portray today. Definitely a Dilemma.
