Yet another uneventful weekend...

So I'm coming to the conclusion that my weekends are becoming increasingly dull and uneventful. This weekend, all of that has to change. HAS TO!!!

Well, this weekend will be my 10 month anniversary with my boyfriend and hopefully (cross my fingers) he'll come and spend the day with me. Honestly, we wouldn't have to do anything, that would be enough excitement for the week for me to call it eventful.

Yesterday was quite uneventful. The only truly exciting thing and that wasn't even all that uneventful was meeting "Stranger." He's a junior at Trinity (a local CT college in the area) and was on my campus yesterday, at my place of work, because he was hungry and had a meeting upstairs with the brothers of his fraternity. (I completely forgot the name of it, sorry.) Basically, he helped me pass an hour, approximately, of work down here. We talked about the part of NY we were both from (he's from Brooklyn, go figure). He told me that Queens was wack, but said the fact that I lived in Jamaica, Queens made it slightly better.

Let's just say we held a decent conversation, before he decided that he should go back to his meeting. His meeting lasted over 4 hours. How do I know this? My work shift is 5 hours. His meeting started an hour after I started work and I left work before he left his meeting. Makes me curious as to what a fraternity needs to have meeting about for that long.

Other than that, I actually got to work yesterday. Surprisingly people were around and were buying things. Most of them were from a sorority, I'm going to assume Delta Gamma considering that is what my roommate is pledging and they all seemed to come down here shortly after she went back upstairs with some girl.

My night continued on with me doing my nails (which I detest) and my laundry. I didn't have enough to dry both loads so I stuck both loads in the dryer and my clothes were still wet when they came out. Needless to say my room looked a hot mess with my clothes sprawled everywhere.


(My clothes all over my bed, in an attempt to dry.)

But, Peter came back to visit us. That made the night exciting, but he left to go to a party and left the rest of us in the dorm with nothing but each other's company and music. Heard some good ol' throwback joints though. Had Ja Rule on blast, lol. I drank the little of my Long Island Ice Tea, that I had left (there is still some in the bottle) and decided to call it a night cause nothing exciting was occurring.

That was last night.

Today, the final night of the weekend, I have doubts that things can recover and get better. It's already noon and I'm at work. Only one person has came to buy something here. No one has made a guest appearance and held a conversation with me. And I have to clean my room when I get back and do my homework. I highly doubt there will be an last minute parties going on with everyone gearing up for classes tomorrow and getting there homework done tonight.

I guess I should keep hope alive, but I think I'm more excited about the fact that my shoes will be arriving this week, I will get paid, and it's my anniversary weekend.

Here's keeping the hope alive.

So It's Been A While...

I apologize for my lack of blogging. It has most definitely been a while and once again, I have to apologize for that.

I figured I should bring everyone up-to-date with the happenings of my life and quite frankly, I didn't do shit for Halloween, I didn't want to deal with all the drunk people on campus causing a scene. My boyfriend spent the weekend with me and he left today to return to NY. (I'm wearing a sad face in case you couldn't hear my disappointed). I have come to the conclusion that my roommate is just plain shady.

Now before you start hitting me with the, she's white, give her a break, it's not easy to be living with a bunch of black girls, I have to say RACE DOESN'T HAVE SHIT TO DO WITH IT. Honestly, I know shady and she's been acting very shady and she's starting to push buttons that no one should be pushing.
Can someone please explain to me her constant need to lie? Yesterday, I had to leave our room cause she needed complete silence as she had a phone interview, which sounded a hell a lot like yelling at her mother from where I was sitting at in the living room. Next, I was playing music today and she asked me if I could turn it off cause she had to make a phone call. I said sure and stepped out the room momentarily. No phone call was ever made.
I seriously can't live with someone who won't allow me to play my music. That's just ridiculous. But it's also besides the point. My other reasons for believing this girl is just downright shady for no apparent reason.
She never pulls her weight around her, unless it's removing the things we have carefully placed in the apartment for our comfort (i.e. the curtains, the seat covers). If she didn't like them, that's all she had to say. She waits until no one is around before she removes all of them. Secondly, her behavior last night was completely uncalled for. Chick did not need to be slamming things around and stomping while people are trying to be sleeping. My boyfriend said it was because she thought he would have left already rather than spend another night. Honestly, her behavior was uncalled for. But, I guess I should have picked up the fact that she was tired of him being here considering how she kept asking if he left when he was just in another room.
Can someone say childish?

But, I'm I have other issues as well, such as the jackass that is my boss.
I just have one question for you, does it make sense to work a 10am shift if no one gets there to open up until 11:30am? I don't think it is, but apparently my boss does and has me working this shift. So I'm stuck dragging my ass over there at 10 in the morning to walk back to my room for 11:30. And then, he doesn't even know how to talk to people without being a jerk.
Seriously, if you don't train someone how are they suppose to know how to do a void? In his words of explanation, "I'm driving, just keep hitting the void button something should happen". Just to let you know, nothing happened and I was quite screwed. Oh and so the mere fact that I have been working with Human Resources about getting my paychecks, being information isn't correct and him telling me if I didn't get it straightened out that I need to look for another job, just pissed me off more. Seriously? As if I don't want to get paid.
Honestly, I've had it up to here and I can't take much more of the stress he's giving me. As if I don't have so many other things to juggle as well, and the fact that I apparently wasn't registered for one of my classes and now have to get these forms signed to have it re-added to my schedule just blew me off the edge.

It's quite safe to say that my weekend/week was a pretty bad one considering what occurred. But as my boyfriend has quite clearly told me, I just have to keep moving because no one is gonna jump in and help me out. No one is ever that nice.

Making My Day a Better One...

I decided that I wasn't going to let all the rain, cold weather, and gloominess of the day deter me from having a good day.


Did I succeed??? Well that all depends how you measure success and what qualifies as having a good day.


For starters, I went to all of my classes, even though the urge to remain in bed and the gloomy weather tried to deter me from my academic goals. So I went to both classes and surprise surprise, my first class gets out early. The downside to this was that I had class right after it and naturally, I wasn't paying attention to time so I darted out of class like I always do to get to it since it's on the other side of campus. I had to wait a whole 20 minutes before anyone decided to show up. Not to mention the class seemed to drag on for hours and every question my professor asked required the pulling of teeth to get a response.
So where is the bright side to this? During my moments of waiting for class to begin I managed to stumble across this picture on my cell:

These are the flowers my boyfriend had bought me over the summer. Of course they aren't the traditional red roses, but that's why I loved them. They were unique and just brightened up the room. Looking at them during those moments waiting for class to begin as it rained outside, made me happy. Suddenly, my day was going great again and I was smiling.


After class I returned to my room and decided to do my nails. That made me feel pretty ok too. I was giving myself the pampering that I've neglected to do in the past month. I always manage to forget about pampering myself. So I commenced with doing my nails and decided, why not do acrylic. I mean, I know how to do it, I now possess the tools, why not try doing it on my own hand.
Buffing, sizing, and gluing the tips were no problem. Cutting them down and filing them, once again no problem. Reapplying glue where the tip and nail met and then buffing it smooth, no problem. Applying the acrylic and buffing it after it tried to smoothness, a big problem.
For starters, I didn't check my brush and it was stiff. Needless to say the acrylic was all messy and didn't do it's job. So I tried it again. I cleaned the brush and worked it in my fingers so it wouldn't be as stiff. Success. Reapplying the acrylic, no success. Let me just explain by saying, I'm not good at applying nail polish to my own nails. It get it all over my fingers and cuticles. Now imagine the acrylic. This hard drying substance all over my fingers and nails. A huge mess. I'm still removing acrylic and let me tell you acrylic isn't the easiest thing to remove. Also, I didn't coat my nails evenly with the acrylic so parts of it had a lot and some not so much (the agony of clear acrylic that you can't really see as you spread it). So after all those trials, I got tired and was getting sick from the smell so I decided to call it a day, buff it and apply clear nail polish.
Guess what happened as I buffed? The parts of my nail that didn't have enough acrylic on that buffed right off. I didn't own any clear nail polish so I had to borrow some of Reme's and that didn't go so well either. Although I won't complain, seeing as I borrowed it without asking, but it was sticking and not coating my nails well.


So what did I do?


I looked at the clock, realized that it was about 7:10 and panicked. I had to be at GSU for 7:30. So I decided to screw my nails, I'll finish them some other time and stuffed my heels into my bag, grabbed my keys and umbrella, threw my jacket on and rushed out the door.


So where is the brightness to this?


I'M IN THE FASHION SHOW AS A MODEL!!!!!!!


And my night just got even better at the realization that BEST FRIEND a.k.a Jon shouted me out on the radio as just that, BEST FRIEND!!!! And I ordered Chinese food and am now fully sastified.


But as we all know, when things go up they must go down and the same has occurred tonight. I spent $10 of the $15 I had, which means I only have $5 left for this weekend to spend on alcohol with Reme. But hopefully this downside will become a good side once the weekend officially begins. A few drinks always brings out the best comedies in us.


*note: I am not an alchy. lol.

Home For The Weekend

So I'm home for the weekend and I can already tell I'm not going to have time to relax.

For starters, I brought home a big bag of laundry that I know I'm going to have to do myself, I have to help clean this house, have to get my hair done, write a speech, and some other academic stuff, because unfortunately life doesn't end when I go home for the weekend, I still I have a list of things to do. I feel a headache coming on.

So for the first time in a really long time, I was given the opportunity to watch the Disney channel and just let me tell you, I was watching one of their new movies and I just have to say, Disney has really gone down in quality. The movie looked cheap and the actors were pathetic. It looked more like an indie film and even those are better qualities with better actors. I just don't know what to say anymore.

I also just found out that my boyfriend got two new tattoos today. I'm too sure how I feel about that considering I have yet to see them in person, but I guess I can show it to you and you can let me know what you think.



Just thinking about him having it makes me want to see him even more than I already do right now. But, I'm just hoping that things will turn around this weekend and I'll feel more relaxed.
