so much going on these days. Just completed the last week of my last fall semester. It's bitter sweet but more sweet than bitter. (LOL) Chillin like a villan right now, just because I can. I have lots and lots of things I could be doing but Im in a bit of a funk right now.
Im probably just tired. Even though I was finished with everything around 10:30 last night after Ngoma Practice(which was light) I stayed up with the Sorors talking on the phone like middle schoolers. I went to bed around 3:45 and had to get up for work at 9:30, so Im tired.

I had my show last night and it went ok. Thanks to everyone who sent me well wishes. My sweet sorors bought me pink tea roses which are on my desk right now. Thanks girls, you all always come through just when I need you!

I dont have much left. An extra credit paper for Group Comm., a final paper for Post Soul, and a entrance presentation of my line for Honors. Thesis. Basically I'll be chilling on campus ultra hard. Getting little things done and relaxing the way life should allow.

I cant wait to get to New York. Im still deciding when Im gonna go but Im going just to be up there for the Christmas season. Chill with my NY buddy and see my fam. I think I wanna go see the Color Purple on Broadway and the tree.

Done for now, I wanna take a nap before work.
lol
peace

"Be very careful if you make a woman cry, because God counts her tears. The woman came out of a man's rib. Not from his feet to be walked on. Not from his head to be superior, but from the side to be equal. Under the arm to be protected, and next to the heart to be loved."

Gosh, Lots going on. Too much, way tooooooooo much.

My Christmas Tree is up (notice how I capitalize). I have to say, shes grand. Danielle and I went Tuesday to Target to get them. We planned on getting real ones but got extravagent with the decorations and figured a reusable tree for the same price was better. Espesh since we could use them next year for our apartment :) Sooooo, my tree is super cute as planned! Pearl garland, lights, and mini pink candy canes(sour patch flavored-my fav!) I treated myself to the big 27 piece box of Ferrero Rocher, Im exercising control with them though, I've only eaten the top layer. Snaps for me!
I decided that it would be an Advent Tree, so I would get myself a few gifts and wrap them up. Each week I would open one and enjoy it! Great idea, I know. I'll keep you posted on what gifts I get from myself.

I have to remember to blog about the kids I babysitt. I babysitt 4 little kids and each week could be an episode of a reality tv series. For example....
(Setting: Me at the sink washing dishes after dinner)
Elizabeth (4 year old girl): Cassandra.
Me: Yes Elizabeth
Elizabeth: Why is your skin so dark?
Me: Because I am black.
Kate(6 years old girl): Your not BLACK like my shoe
Elizabeth: No, her skin is dark brown, its not black

(Setting: Me at the dinner table while the twins eat their snack)
Elizabeth: Cassandra. Is your hair straight today?
(I guess she couldnt tell)
Me: Yes
Elizabeth: Well, you can make your hair straight like mine, but you cant make your skin light like mine!
Me: No Elizabeth, I cant.

(Setting: Me in the kitchen cooking dinner)
Elizabeth: Why is your skin so dark?
Hannah(4 year old girl, twin of Elizabeth) Is your mothers skin dark?
Me: Yes, it is. It would have to be in order for me to be black.
Elizabeth: Your mother must live in a place close to the equator.
Me: Yes, she is from a place close to the equator.

All seperate days might I add. They seem to have lots of questions about blackness and I find it a little funny. Anyway, I'll have to blog about them at some point. The 9 year old is the most fun, I'll fill yall in soon.

My show is in less than a week. Im nervous. I hope it comes of well. Say a prayer for me please .

Moment of silence



















































OK. Lets keep it moving

I am an employee of the GAP Inc. May I help you???
I enjoy it, the work is pretty easy and the people are mostly cool. A few biotches, but my boss is super sweet and always looks out. I love being at the mall all the time. Im spending a little much these days but Im also working mad hours so hopefully I'll still be in the black when I remember to balance the books. I have to get better at things like this. I went to renew my cell phone plan and the lady asked me how many minutes I use. I had no clue. I dont count....I just talk. She asked me how much I text message. I had no clue. I dont count.....I just text. I need to get that together before I graduate. Its not very grown womanish of me. I'll get it together.


AKA Party Tomorrow :) Dont know what Im wearing yet but you should come if your in the RIC!!!




Yeah, Im pubbing on my blog.


Have a good night. Of course I have work to do... whatever.
BTW I got a B+ on my Post Soul Paper entitled RIP Bling Bling. Snaps for ME :)
