| its that time again.
time to apply to school.
kinda of excited...kind of scared.
i only have one school in mind..talk about putting all your eggs into one basket...
UIC
they have a tight master's program in accounting...at least it looks that way on paper...
i love the courses...and have basically planned out my entire time there...but there is only one problem...i haven't gotten accepted...because i haven't applied ;0!...but fear not...may 15 is the deadline and i am praying (and you should too) that i get in...cause i am excited to study my second love...accounting...what is my first love? wouldn't you like to know ;0!
i am going to see daddy's little girls. the new tyler perry movie...i'm excited...i heard it was good...
"julia...you know i'd never make a fool of ya"...if you don't know what that means go see the movie...the laughs will be worth it...
...edit...
i went to see the movie...it makes you wonder. what do i really want in a man? what is really necessary? and what are just frills? would you date a man who had kids? the older i get...the shorter my "what i want in a man list" gets...correction...the more concise it gets...
go see the movie...and if you don't have anyone to see it with...take me...cause i'd go again ;0!
peace up..naptown down

| my sophomore year at wheaton i decided that relaxed hair was not the best option for me. i used braids to grow it out natural. i think it was in the fall of my senior year that i cut off the relaxed ends and became officially "natural". my first goal was to grow out my hair. i wanted it long and thick. but braids became more and more expensive and inconvenient. not to mention the hair that was lost in the process of putting them in and taking them out.now about three years later i have come across another option. a hairstyle that is easy to maintain. will promote the growth of my own hair and will allow me to keep my hair natural (free from chemicals). sisterlocks...mini dreadlocks
here are a couple of pictures...note the style not necessarily the color..even though they have really pretty color. these are are mature sisterlocks..3-4 years old...but i think they are so beautiful...so i am joining the sisterhood on the 24th of this month. even though they are permanent, i am really excited. i have done my research and feel as if this is the best option for me. i can't wait till my locks are long and beautiful like these ladies.

why did i have a dream that someone was throwing crack rocks at me...CRACK ROCKS!
this lets me know i have been watching too many documentaries on the effect of crack cocaine on south central L.A. and black america as a whole...
but you have to admit...that's kinda funny...who dreams about that stuff? me...

| i am in a small group through a church i don't attend anymore(that's another xanga entry itself...its actually a really good church, just not for me). some weeks in my small group are really great, other weeks i am wondering why i am there with these people.i don't feel any connection and feel out of place. i commute to the northside from the westside...that never sits right with me. i feel as if i took my coworkers to my small group they would just ask why i go because it is night and day from lawndale...but not that what they think means a whole lot to me. i am just tired of looking around that table, having all these conversations about jesus and wanting to go home. don't get me wrong i'm going to stick it out, but i just hate this feeling. i feel as if i am the one that sticks out, the one who doesn't know the inside jokes or stories about people in the church. i have a hard time laughing at things that aren't funny, or acting like i like people i really don't. i went to a coffee house of one of the girls in my group with my roommate and it was not that hot. i don't do folk music and i didn't have a good time. i know these things take time...a lot of time...and it has been a long time since i have ever had to do anything like this...but how long is long enough? will these feelings ever go away? or do i just need to go back to the westside...where i never question my place...? on a completely different note i went on my first business trip this week. springfield, il for some training for a report lawndale has to fill out for the govt...me and chris(my boss) went together. when we went out to dinner everyone thought we were dating...um...yeah...it was kinda funny...kinda | | |
| back in chicago.
a new year and new changes
loose weight (along with 75% of the American population ;0)
get a car this summer: toyota corolla or jeep grand cherokee...i love the jeep, but the gas mileage sucks...oh well i still love the jeep
personal changes...relationship changes...things i will or won't do anymore...why do i give and then accept shit back....from a good number of people...no more...no more...a new year...a new attitude...
venturing out and meeting new people...pursing intentional relationships with other people...i have a couple people to work with...be out of the house at least twice a week...and one weekend day...nothing too much or high expectations...it takes about two years to get adjusted to a new city...take it slow...it will happen...the growth the transition...it should be fun to watch...but its me all me hittin the streets of chicago...
getting closer to God...really spending this time getting in the word...and soaking it all up...and taking my fasting times to hear him clearer...and get rid of all this mess up i've been holding up inside of me for a long time..."The Bible Experience" just look it up online...its a tight CD...black people are doing it for themselves...
see my cousins this summer after seven years...they have all grown up (sad face) and are the shit if i say so myself
got plenty to do this year...hope it all happens...
now i am going to eat some macarthurs...this food is so good...so good...damn...
