I had a pretty good weekend. Lots of First Fam Love and chilling/getting things done. Caucus was grand and I love seeing Sorors! I dont know how we do it but AKA is really all the pretty girls, I just looked around at my sorors from my region and I wondered what was left on their campuses, cause everyone was just top notch! Anyway...the drive was good and the Pow Wow was fun. It was slightly odd being with out my Prophytes and my Sorors who graduated but it was all good. When we got back we chilled with some Frat and I just love them even more! Our Frat from BG did a poem for us and I almost attacked him! I mean DAMN, Im not a groupie but the words get me EvERRRRy TIme! And I quote.........
"...... a Masters in Kama Sutra...."
Dammitttt MAN! I love poetry and I just love a person who can understand and appreicate the value of a word !
Of course... As usual I got mad ish to do! Papers , Reading, Grant Proposals etc. too much! But I gotta get that Brownstone so I gotta get on my Academic Grind so I can peace!
I'll let Big Pooh help me get focused and maybe a little Coke will help me stay up.

Shake That Laffy Taffy :)
That's my song now... Tonia's fault. She always puts me on to good music.
I'm off to Greensboro today for Undergraduate Caucus. I'm excited to meet more fab Sorors and to be on A&T's campus. Hopefully I'll get to catch up with an old friend of mine in the area and just chill with my LS and Neo's :)
I'm starting to get that graduation itch! I picked up my cap and gown for Proclamation Night and tried it on. I must say, GRADUATION IS SOOOOO ME! I cant wait to find a cute dress to wear underneath my robe so that after I walk across that stage in all my splendor, I can de-robe, de- mortar board, fluff my hair (fro' vs. straignt ---I haven't decided) and glide right into my graduation party in Keller Garden! Its official, I'm blowing this joint in T-minus 8 month's! Its gonna be a hard road between here and there but once its done I'm sure I'll be glad. We had our first party this past weekend and it was interesting to see so many people back who had graduated. There presence could only mean one of two things.
1. Post-grad life is so ultra wack that you cling to the last amusing thing you experienced
or
2. They are so ultra wack that they are clinging to the last amusing thing they experienced.
If you ever see my overage ass at an undergrad party snatch me up with the quickness and send me to the nearest Happy Hour/Bar Lounge. Somewhere where the age limit is 25 and up, and there are more chairs than dance space. I cant accept that post grad life is that lame. If it is than I will just have to stay in my house cause its all about progression NOT regression!
OK I have a problem :( Everytime I go out I end up spending like $100. I'm not quite sure how this came to be but I have a hefty stack of receipts that taunts me. I'm not in debt and my credit card isn't causing any adverse affects to my credit score but I just need to slow it down. There's always some shit to buy, or some damn thing I just gotta have. I look at it like this, I only live once and if I don't enjoy life now when will I? So YES to the Longchamp Bag, YES to the IPOD, YES to the Guess Sale, and YES YES YES to the Prada Perfume. Things don't make me happy but they do assist :) I think its my repayment for working so hard. I'm finding more and more that the Jamaican in me is coming out :( I have like 3 jobs and from what I hear I have that mean Jamaican girl thing down to a T! Not sure where it came from but I guess its in my blood. The good thing about it all is that though I may be spending a little more I have also been saving more, which balances everything out. I'm trying to plan out and project my future so that I can glide right in without any speed bumps slowing me down. I've decided I want a Brownstone in FortGreen Brooklyn. I wanna live BMS and have a small dog by the name of Mrs. Trixsy. Mrs. Trixsy and I will live alone in our 3 story brownstone with no one visiting but my fam, the grocery delivery guy, my sorors and a gentleman caller or two :) I've decided I want to be a work-aholic! I wanna put everything into my job and launch The House of Cassandra Garnett by 27! No kids, no husbands, no bothers!

Complete Otherness
Ever since I arrived on campus I have been going like crazy. Meetings, work, class, AKA. I don't know how I do it really. I don't even really know where to begin with this blog because sooo soo much has gone down.
I am currently in the midst of Rho Mu Week. This week will be the most grand Rho Mu Week that UR has ever seen. Tomorrow is thursday (or today is) and the craziness starts. Its crazy how much I love this sorority! I thought it would be fun and nice to participate in. You know do service projects here and hang with Sorors there, but it is really out of this world. I cant believe how much fun and growth I have had since I joined. I find myself more interested in doing things for AKA then my own work for school. I get it all done though. Don't get it twisted, the academics come first. A pretty dumb broad is not hot in anyone's book, especially mine. I love my Sorors, even though they get on my nerves sometime, I love them to death. They have really changed my life and I appreciate them for that.
The school year has started in full force. I mean back to back meetings, being double and triple booked and have projects and work that I have to rush and do. Monday I had a critique that lasted about 4 hours. I was going out of my mind! Im lovin senior thesis for art. I have my own studio and get to basically do whatever I want. I will be spending mad time there so I have it decked out Cassandra Brown style. Audrey's present contemplating Tiffany's Jewels and Foxxy Brown is repping for the black girls. Meetings are driving me crazy. The other day Grace tried to break bad on me because I wasn't coming to a bonnier meeting. To be real, I don't give two shits about ice breakers with the Freshman and going over the years calendar. All that crap can really be done over e-mail. Anyway her and Camisha really caught feelings, maybe cause I said "The world doesn't revolve around bonnier" You could hear them gasp, but I had to do it! I know theres a difference between being straight to the point and just plain not knowing what to say out your mouth and I was definitely in the straight to the point section. At the end of the day I take care of the business I need to take care of, everything else has just got to take a number and hope its their day cause its my Senior Year and I gotta look out for number one!
The funny thing about this year is that I am soooo soooo uninterested in socializing it only reiterates my whole bitch aura. If you know me, you know IM the nicest person that's on this campus but IM not up for the annual BC of dealing with bitches who still don't wan speak after 4 years of being here. People who have fell off the map and expect you to break your neck for them, and lets not forget the annual freshman show. Most of the freshies are cool but there's a group that I straight don't have the time for. IM all about helping people, but the attitude must be disgarded. In short the year should be interesting. I'll leave it at that. The Greek Drama has also managed to start already. Don't ask how, it just has. The sad part about it is that its always on some subliminal, punk b#@%& stuff.
IM sooooo ready to blow this joint and move to NY. IM hoping to get back up there by the third week of September. I miss my Johnny and I miss the city. I miss the diversity and I miss the realness of the place. Its all good, cause Im back there as soon as I can get there. I was thinking of taking the Chinese bus up and back for $60. I'll have to let you know how that turns out.
Our party is this Friday and Im SUPER excited. My dress is ready, my hair will be done tomorrow and all I need to do is get a push up bra. Just for a little assistance.
Night Yall, I promise to write more.
Holler
Peace Yall
