Wow it's pretty much over....

College life.
I got Senior Week left now to celebrate with friends,  so that should be fun times.
But it hit me a couple of days ago while all the undergraduates were leaving...and I realized I was still here.
I'm a senior and this is the end....
and it really hit me today, as I was going through papers and stuff deciding what to keep, what to throw away, this is the end, man. I almost busted out crying a couple times, but I'm good...

I have SO many memories at this university, met so many people, done so many things, changed as a person a bizillion times, like I can't put in words how integral my college experience was to helping me learn about the world and myself, it is truly a amazing experience. I'm such a different and stronger person than I was a freshman coming in. It's crazy when I think back to my first times at NU, wow, things were different then...

But luckily, I have something to look forward to coming in the fall. I get to follow my passion. To be teacher, so that should be fun and challenging, to say the least. I just found out (for now) I'll be teaching 2 courses Geom H and 2 courses of Algebra 2 with a support class, a total of 5, so basically my student teaching classes, which should be fun[more than fun, but I don't really have the words to describe it]. I'm definitely excited for the chance to have my own class, my own students for an entire year (of course I'm scared, but more excited). Also I have orientation on Wednesday next week, called ETHS 101, so that should be really fun and get me uber-excited. I can't believe this either, like I'm literally gonna be high school math teacher. This is the time.

so many things happening in my life. This is definitely a closing of one chapter and the opening of another. I am truly blessed. Thank you God.
With this post, I just thought would take the time, while I have it, to step back and just look and reflect, but this upcoming week is senior week, so I'm surely gonna enjoy myself, enjoy my last times on this campus as a student with my friends...Then it's graduation.

oh speaking of which, I'm going to be the banner carrier for SESP at University Commencement. Pretty cool huh? I think so. I have to attend some meeting Tuesday next week, then at SESP rehearsal talk to the whole class about the commencement, seems pretty cool. And I proudly do it because I love SESP,  which definitely made my experience a great one as well.

so yeah. I'm just glad I made the choice to come to Northwestern, although I would've done somethings differently, not many, I have learned so much that I really wouldn't trade anything for those experiences.
AH. Let's go 'Cats.

Peace & CHICKEN GREASE!

Changes, Movies, and Such

It's been great being home for a couple of days. Just relaxing, actually being able to watch TV, chatting with family, laughing, makes me wish I kinda wasn't doing anything this summer, but hey...

there's been a couple major changes in the home though (none of which you probably really care about)

• different living room furniture  like the couch, entertainment thingy, curtains, just different
• my room's got another addition first it was the treadmill, now I got a different dresser thingy, not to mention my bed is no longer against the wall, and I don't have a headboard, kinda hard to sleep
• and no KOOL-AID! it's like a sin against being black or something; I just can't see home w/o kool-aid, they trying to be healthy and stuff just drinking water. can we at least get some juice?

There's other changes but they're not so  significant i suppose.

but I guess all these changes don't matter cuz I'll be leaving in two days. Which I am so excited about it. I don't really know what to expect, cuz its a place I've never been and around people I don't know. it's just Unknown and unfamiliar territory. But I'm excited. I'll get you updated (I'll get around to making that other blog, Afroboiii in Colorado?!, in a couple days probably after I get there, I don't know how do it. as soon as I know you should).

While I was home though, watched some movies ( I actually started watching a couple Face/off & X-Men Origins: Wolverine, but I couldn't get into them, Wolverine is probably good just didn't feel like getting into. Face/off just looked dumb so..)

I did watch these though

Master of Disguise
with Dana Carvery. I watched it with my brother (that lil munchkin). I hadn't seen this movie in a while, it came out in 2002. but it was pretty hilarious. 'I am not turtely enough for the turtle club' finally made sense, and the villian guy farting everytime he laughed evil(ly) was SO funny. the Story was booty of course, but they didn't intend on being serious or having a good plot at all. I Loved it though.

Norbit
with Eddie's Murphy(s). This is old time fav, probably seen it a bijillion time before. Still hilarious, but I guess I started thinking what really makes being that fat so funny. It's really kinda offensive I suppose. and like  at that u need to lose weight, not making a mockery of yourself.  But it is kinda more of the character, then again i'm not sure.

Why Did I Get Married Too? (on bootleg)
Yes, on bootleg. My parents hadn't seen it either, so we had to get the bootleg to watch it. So this Movie. Definitely not one his (tyler perry) best. I believe it wasn't that great because this was (basically from my persepctive) in reaction to his mother's death. I guess he didn't want to think about, and he had to keep working to get his mind off it. The movie definitely needed some more work (esp the ending). This movie was really crazy though, and alot random stuff happened, but definitely not as good as the first one.

alright
next post will probably be in Colorado

peace & chicken grease!

A Day of Change...

no, I didn't do anything drastic like cut off all my hair.
but today, just had me thinking alot about change


how one minute you can be one way, and then the next something crazy
can happen which will turn your life upside down.
or how you can feel one way for a long time, but then feel the opposite outta the blue.

it's funny cuz everything changes:
weather, sky, time, LIFE, etc.
I think life is all about changes, all about movement
I mean very few things are static.
And even the things we think won't change, do.

but then why are we scared of change, when things around us are changing all time,
if that's what life about, why be scared?. And the funny thing about change,
is you have no control over it. yes you can change things, but the change that really affects
is the kind that runs freely. The kind that just disrupts the routine.

Things must change. That's just the way it is.

PEACE & CHICKEN GREASE!

Time for a Change

I'm a person that loves Change (that's why I voted for Obama, and also the fact that he was black...)
Change can be scary, but it can also be exciting
sometimes Change is bad, sometimes it's rewarding
sometimes Change comes in the form of cents,
other times Change leaves ya broke.

but this morning I woke up and I felt it was time for change.
and I did the most drastic thing I could do to myself:
I cut off all my hair!

okay so I have never done this, nor have I cut off anyone else's hair.
But hey, it is what it is now.
so I guess you could say I'm no longer a Afroboiii (what are the extra two i's for?!)
but I would have to disagree, cuz I'm still black.

it feels weird though to have no hair, but I must admit I like it....
it'll be nice to wake up and go ( not really, but you know).

so yeha.....

and with this post I am officially back from my break. Plenty of posts to come.

PEACE & CHICKEN GREASE!!!!

New Layout

Hey people's (what up though)
as you can see, hopefully
I have changed up the layout of my blog (Always time for a change, I guess) Can you spare some change please?...
As you can see it's nicely colorful and bold....really like the squiggly-ness of the blog post area....

Let me know if you like it or what not.
It would be very much appreciated.

Funny thing about this layout ( i did not make it)
but the person who made it had like everything in spanish...so I had to like translate stuff (of course I used the google translate thing, it would've taken my me 5 days to translate it myself.)...
it was just really funny...to me at least...

anyways hope you enjoy this new layout,
more updations later!

PEACE & CHICKEN GREASE!!!
