Simply Updating

nothing special.

3 years 
junior year coming to a close. 3 classes down, 1 more to go and its the 'important' one (i suppose), math,
i actually feel i should actually start studying now, math hasn't been so great this quarter. but we'll see.
i think its gonna be weird though being a senior, I kinda feel like I just got here, well I mean I can remember my first visit to this campus, and all the nervousness & anticipation I felt because I was finally going to college. and i guess it's just now hitting me there's only one year left and like everyone will be looking to me as the example and a leader......yeah, but I'm so GLAD this quarter is almost over, and  I made it through (THANK GOD)...

This summer
Breakthrough in Colorado is official. I booked my flight the other day ($300+, omg!). But I'm excited for this opportunity, and I'm looking for an active and stressful summer, which is totally opposite of every other summer of my life, seriously. Yeah, I'm kinda nervous about finally teaching cuz I don't know what to expect, but I know whether good or bad, it'll be a great experience. And I'll be helping the childrens which is good always.

GFest
Just came from the Gospel Fest 2010. It was kool. I saw 'lil bit of Kathy Taylor. All of Byron Cage and Hezekiah Walker. It was pretty kool. I personally felt though their sets weren't long enough. It just felt like they did five songs and were done, but hey can't really complain it's free, well i suppose it comes from taxes. I'm going again tomorrow, Richard Smallwood & Fred Hammond will be, it should be awesome.

Homesick
Other than that things going pretty well. I really want to go home soon, I haven't seem my family in over 2 months! and I just miss them extremely, even though I guess it doesn't seem like since I never really go home. I guess though I gotta kind of get used to not seeing them, I mean I'll be starting my career pretty soon & there's no telling where I'll be teaching...

speaking of which,
Career Backup Plans
1. my elaborate plan to move to the U.K. for 10yrs gain a British accent, come back to the states open up a bar and D.J.
2. CTA bus/train driver
3. Backup Dancer
4. Run for Vice President w/ Kira (La)Frank for Prez.

most of these r jokes, but I guess I should seriously be thinking about a backup plan just in case teaching doesn't work out (for some strange reason), but I really don't know what else I would do.

okay I'm gonna end here
or I'll continue for ever probably..

PEACE & CHICKEN GREASE!

what it is!

what it be.
idk.
anywayz what though.
so um it's a new month. I've definitely been neglecting my blog alot,
but that alright, it's not like it's a baby (cuz if it was it would be dead)....

updates and such.
spring quarter's going well. weather's nice. I realized today all my classes got something do every week, whether it's homework or problems....or a 5 page critique of a thesis paper (yeah Advanced Research Methods)

abbreviation A.R.M. will probably be the hardest course I've taken at NU, I'm calling it. so I'm trying to limit my stress level by being on top of stuff. But I know once I find out what I want to do, and start my researching the stress will come, but now I'm not going to dwell on that too much.

so I've kinda been having a mini-crisis about what I want to do with my life. Kinda had this epiphany (should I call it that??) that I should probably have switched my major to LOC awhile back ago (learning and organizational change). Because I've realized I'm like uber fascinated with how people learn, and changing environment to improve their learning. Key words are learning and change. I guess I can still do that with teaching, but I don't know if as much. But I can't really change now because I want to graduate next year, and I can't spend anymore time/Money here (50+ a year, don made me broke).

So if it turns out I really don't like teaching at all OR if I think I'll be happy other places, I might go to graduate school for Learning Sciences or LOC if I decide to come back to NU I guess. But I don't know yet. I just pray that God directs me. But I realized it's kinda okay if I don't have my life together after I graduate; I mean I guess I thought everything would just go smoothly idk.

but the funny thing is I wouldn't known  I wanted to change my major if I hadn't taken Teach Ed classes. Does this mean I really didn't know what I was getting into? Idk...or that I should have taken Teach Ed classes earlier, unfortunately I couldn't....so it's really funny. so in that way I think that it's just kinda the master plan. Because I  know coming in to NU as a freshman my heart was set on teaching, and I would've never thought of changing my major AT all. but yeah stuff happens. you never after teaching this summer and practicum I might just "fall" in love with it....

idk. Alot realizations has happened to me, lately. I feel like I've never been really receptive of the opportunities I have a NU, like I knew stuff existed, but I guess it has only hit me until lately that I'm basically grown at like next year this time. so of course I'm reflecting on my quick time at NU, and just wondering if I could've done more...like what did I miss out on........but I'm still really grateful for all I've done...I'm just wonder why I haven't been more receptive and open to things.....I'm not explaining this well, but I know what I mean...

anywayz that was a unexpected rambling......
college is a trip...that's all I gotta say.......

PEACE & CHICKEN GREASE!
