soundtrak: handsome boy modeling school: breakdown

so i went into the city today and lo and behold, the hoya game was sold out. my classmate, aabs and i caught lunch, walked around for a bit, visited the national archives (which i am ashamed to say, as long as i've lived here, have never visited before) and then called it a day. trying to go to the last game on saturday night, but i don't think it's gonna be feasible.
hours before it was flambé!! in the kitchen; with virgin olive oil and a gas range, i set some veggie links on fire!! it was hilarious, but moms wasn't very amused, "are you trying to burn us down?!" i burned my hand in the process. serves me right, i guess...

other random things:
- i have one week to figure out what i'm going to do for spring break.
- wondering if i'm going to get paid this week (i betta; i got bills up the waazoo...). i have a bad feeling that my paperwork is still somewhere... lost and lonely.
- D still wants to get together with the bc crew. nic is out of town on conference and the boy is working. maybe...
- i need to work out
- they say that it's really going to snow tonight... enough to close university... we'll see.

got an exam due at the end of the week. gotta work. more later.

peace.

TGIF list:

- it's so hard to get back into writing. or just laziness. whatever you want to call it.
- it's a new era... i'm rocking new hair...
- the birthday outings were good. one weekend, went out with crispy, JK, T, Y and his girl. ate thai and played pool. that's an entry all to itself. the next weekend, went out bowling with some church friends. this coming from a girl that has never been bowling ever (i know, i'm so deprived). and now, like pool, i am addicted to bowling. and i'm going saturday night too.
- on thursday, moms and i went to go see the alvin aliey american dance theater at the kennedy center. i have wanted to see them perform for a long time now (years...) and when i learned that they would only be in town this week only, i had to buy tickets. we saw 'vespers', 'caught' (which was absolutely amazing), 'shining star', in its washington premiere and the iconic 'revelations'. i wanted to see 'revelations' for so long, but i loved 'shining star', which was music all from earth, wind and fire. unfortunately, 'love stories', which was also making its washington premiere wasn't playing that night. but they're coming back in april and i'm going.
- bonding much better with the classmates now; i don't feel as isolated as i was feeling before. going out to lunch and other things.. just hanging out. actually, i was kind of depressed today since i bombed my cell exam and my paperwork (still!) is just all over the place (and thus, my over $10,000 bill ... for one semester, is not paid yet and it's due today). but my classmates consoled me and i felt a bit better.
- so it's that time of year again, when prospective students come to visit and be interviewed. we're not really taking part in the interviews, but doing alot of activities with them (like dinner) and answering any questions they may have about the program. of course, all this includes the added bonus of free food. and you know that free is always a good thing...
- i so jumped back on the soda bandwagon... and i was doing so good... all that free food... i just couldn't stay away from the coke... oh, how i've missed you so...
- so i have a 101/1001 list. one of the things on my list is to go see a hoya game, which i plan on doing sunday. go hoyas!
- random aside: so in the lab where i'm doing my rotation, everybody is married (even the undergraduate senior...geez!). what's up with that?! did i miss the boat, train, plane? they all talk about their wonderful married lives... and what can i talk about... i don't even have a boyfriend (and i'm just mentioning the fact that i don't have one, not that i need one). it's a strange, weird environment, but then again, i always seems to be the odd man out... always!
- talking about marriage... the thing that bothers me about MB (yes, i'm about to rant...) is that he wants to control me so bad. and you know i already have this issue about control. i also have this thing about authority, but i won't get into that. MB fits the bill of the stereotypical (dare i say, african... i'm not trying to cause any controversy here..) male: looking for the next pretty thing with boobs to make his wife. it's like he's trying to mold me or something. he commented to me the other day, "you'll make a most obedient wife... someday." oh please! i can't help but roll my eyes just thinking about it. who does he think he is, telling me what i can become. it just makes me very incensed.
- i was going to write this whole rant thing about bbq (hey, i got alot to rant here, ok?), but when i gave him a call the other day, i made a u-turn. he really is trying, y'all. and i have to at least give him that.
- crispy, you are so ghetto... (and you know what i am referring to) but i still love ya...
- somehow along the way, this list turned into an entry..
- mucho thanks to the visitors and comments... i feel so loved..

this entry is brought to you by spell checker: cos you know chi can't spell worth jack!

peace.

Favourite Kenyan food

- my foods have decreased since i've turned vegetarian, but thing i love the most is chapatti, because i can cook it and eat it with anything else.

Favourite Kenyan drink

soundtrak: erykah badu: sometimes

since the brother totally jacked the home wireless network and i can't stand to be downstairs on this ancient contraption that they used to call a computer back in the 90s (and to add the fact that it's freezing down here...), i am on brief hiatus.
anyways, i got exams.

hope to update soon.

edit: 16 february; exams are over and the network has been back and yet, i still do not write. i need a serious time out. i don't know for how long, but i'll be back. but, an updated look. took me a whole evening, but i was tired of looking at that skin from college (ugh!)

peace.

soundtrak: silence

man, this week is finally over. after the brithday it was all downhill. i was waking up in the morning to get to class, then going to lab, then leaving lab late and getting home only to collaspe into bed and wake up to start the whole cycle again. i diidn't answer my phone, i barely checked my email and my study schedule is bust. and i keep on falling asleep... everywhere... even standing up on the train...

anyways, i'm trying to see if i can do something tomorrow night with some people. of course, i haven't planned anything (these people are calling me now and i have nothing...). so blah...

went to rehersal tonight and guess who was there. MB; this brother.... *sigh* starting with the flirting and whatnot... saying we need to talk... he's just not trying hard enough...

anyways, i need to go do some things before i collaspe into bed yet once again. more later.

peace.

birthday list!

- this song is from the new c.oke lime commercial; i actually heard it before and liked it, but the commercial compelled me to download it. it's the perfect reflection of my day today.
- thank you thank you thank you thank you! for everybody and their well wishes and calls and emails and IMs.... today was just a fabulous day
- even my gtown classmates got me a gift; it was such a surprise.
- they even helped me get a rotation in another lab... these people are great! i start tomorrow.
- my eye is doing better; it's healing slowly, but healing. i have to wear sunglasses everywhere though...
- ooooh; D.O.G. credits is updated, with cast... so you know who i'm talking about...
- even bbq remembered my birthday... no writing down, no call from somebody else to remind him... nothing! i'm so proud of him...
- surprisingly enough, T never hasn't called yet..... WAIT! WAIT!! just now... 11.28pm... aww, the booger... i knew he wouldn't forget...

that's all. goodnight.

peace.
