Destiny's Child

So, as usual, there is way too much going on. Oddly enough there really isnt anything going on at all. All I know is Im busy and I would rather be in New York. Which translate to theres nothing new going on with me. Im getting adjusted to classes finally this third week and they all seem mostly cool. Finite Math, Textile Design, Urban Practice and Policy Major Seminar, Honors Thesis( A Bitch), & Interdiciplinary Studies Thesis. All cool classes for the most part. Honors Thesis is gonna kick my ass. My advisor told me a few weeks ago...
" Yeah, I know spring semester for seniors is supposed to be a piece of cake but for you, not so much. I mean, you will have fun, but not until like the last three weeks. Your work could really send you somewhere but you have to put the work in and I believe you can do it. You just have to become a Nun for the next 6 weeks or so. Or 10 weeks or so. "

Im glad to hear that he has confidence in me but I am suffering from a serious case of senioritis. I have never slept so much in my life. I cant seem to figure out whats going on with me but I really want to get it together. The worse part is that there are signs every damn where saying "Cassandra now is not the time to be lazy!" Between my Mom, and Sisters... Gosh. Take my hororscope in Harpers for example.

"Midmonth you will be offered a career change(YAY); exercise your independence, and don't wait for others to join you in your new adventure(CAN THE CHURCH SAY AMEN) If you get down to business, those travel plans in the near future may be more possible than you thought.( I.E. NEW YORK) And by attending to your professional life now(YES MOM, GOSH) , you will soon have the leisure time to mend a romance and make it even better than before. (I.E. NO VALENTINES DAY WEEKEND GETAWAY)"

I mean, its plain as day, printed in black and white, page 60 of Harpers Bazaar, which is the next best thing to the BIBLE!

I was watching Pastor Lance Watson of St. Pauls Church from bed on last Sunday(cause getting up before 10 is alot to ask of me) The sermon was all about Gods Favor and its effects on your life and those around you. He also talked about how we think that just because things are not changing the way we want them to change, their isnt any change going on and that God is never idle, HE'S ALWAYS UP TO SOMETHING.

The way I see it... God meant for the February Issue of Harpers Bazaar to come to me. He is fully aware that each month I cant function without the latest issue of my fav magazines. They inspire me, they keep me company(I know Im lame), and they give me something to look forward to every month. So I figure, its not the fact that my birthday is June 12th and Im a Gemini that made me get that message, that was just the way God chose to send it to me, so that I would hear it.

So maybe next year this time when Im reading Harpers again, I'll be in NYC (with a man apparently) living the life that Im destined to. Sounds good doesnt it. I'll try to step up my school and employment game so that I dont risk deferring from my dream. Pray for me yall!!

Off to ensure the fulfillment of my destiny

Smooches

Hyperlink

So I went to Hyperlink with Tonia on this past Sunday..... yes, I went to a club on a Sunday, just like a real New Yorker. Actually the occasion was Freedom Classic, so Richmond was on and poppin... or at least on if not actually poppin. Plus no classes on Mondays or Fridays allows for extravagant weekend shenanigans. We had a cool night and the music was mostly good except for the bad speakers. Common was present and we got a good view of his sexy self! I danced so much, which isn't normal for me but since I'm not pressed out right now, I was going for broke. I keep reflecting on the fact that this is my last semester and for that reason I better live it up ! As I danced a guy protected by the darkness that is night clubs reached out through my circle and grabbed my hand. Now I'm not one to roll my eyes and suck my teeth, rather I would rather just say that I'm not interested or that I have a boyfriend in order to let a guy down easy. I'm not a fan of being a bitch to complete strangers, so I heard him out. " Owwww girl you so beautiful.... take my number..."( he pulls a card out of his pocket) Now at this point I can see that he's not the slightest bit attractive and from what my group is telling me by their looks, not ignoring him was a bad idea. He went on to say".... You so beautiful, take my number so I can take you shopping at Old Navy."





At first I was ultra pissed. I thought ...what the hell????? He could have at least lied and said some other store like Express or damn Dillards. I mean, what about me made him think I wanted to shop at Old Navy. I was not wearing a performance fleece or a graphic tee like some of the other skeet skeets present. Nothing against Old Navy, its in the Gap Inc. brand family but damn. And not to mention, I work at GAP so I can get a 20% discount any time I want dammit. It kinda hit my confidence. I mean, a lame is gonna invite me to have a shopping spree at Old Navy. Why didn't he just say Cato, or Fashion Bug.... Damn, Am I just a silly little self deluded girl thinking I'm something I'm not. I thought I deserved better, I thought was worth more. Not more money, or a better quality store but more value. I'm not sure what I want in a man but I don't want one who isn't willing to give me the best there is. My man doesn't have to be rich and buy my me $200 denims or anything like that but if Old Navy is all my man can afford..... don't make that your selling point. Gosh!

Recap, December 10th to now.

No blog in over a month!!!! I should be ashamed of myself. I know Sam is board out of her mind and all of you other folks who would rather not let on that you read Beautifully Deep are done with me and my silly antics.

But alas, I have returned and I have lots to blog about. I decided that I would separate them instead of doing one big one just so that its manageable for both me and my anonymous readers. Look forward to reading about the following events in the ab fab life of a Pretty Fashionista.

1. Hyperlink 1/15/06
2. The Cherry Lounge/Vivian Green/ and hanging out with Erica
3. A stretch of very haneouse days of absolutely nothing at all going on except a Omar Tyree book and long shifts at the GAP
4. New Years in NYC
5. More long stretches of haneouse days of absolutely nothing at all going on except long shifts at the GAP.
6. Species Analysis: The Man
7. Spontaneous trip to NYC for Christmas Spirit....Which I in tern lost.
8. The end of the semester.

Yeah, that's about all, I may add later if something comes to mind but that's about it. I'll start as soon as possible but right now its time to hit the sheets my man is waiting for me and I don't like to keep him waiting.




Just playing, just thought Id make it interesting for both you and me.

Peace.
