next week i start my internship and i cant wait to start. my own workstation with a phone and work email. first a workspace...next a office space. wishful thinking!
So im using this week to secure an income [hopefully...God willing]. Theres about 8 job fairs I researched and Im going to all of them. Low key nervous but high key excited to network and hopefully gain an income, something that wont interfere with the internship tho. Unless I get a job that will encompass my marketing interest. So pray for me!
Two days ago, i started my three sixty five project. i got the idea from one of my new favorite blogs, apricot tea. She decided to take a pic each day for a whole year. i was like oh im definitely jacking this idea since i love photography. thanks Ev´Yan. haha. i havent decided if imma do a monthly update or keep it as a surprise until 08/20/2011. but im really excited for this project.
[job fair] report at the end of the week. oh officially 2 months with the BF tomorrow ♥

vaca update.
im back im back im bacckkkkkkk! LOL. well i been back but i finally decided to post. the trip was much needed and exceeded my expectations. the drive was more than entertaining because our family finds humor in anything! we actually listened to the conservative radio show talking about gay marriage. It was so interesting how they disagreed with giving gays the right to marry like President Obama but not once did they say they agreed with him...and they call themselves Christians.
Anywho, we g
ot to Philly later than expected so we couldnt explore and get cheesesteaks. I was a tad bit disappointed. There is nothing like an authentic philly steak...it is so delicious! The wedding was BEAUTIFUL! So nice to see a young couple genuinely in love! It made me fall in love with weddings all over again. I need my friends to start getting married! LOL. Here I am with my bros [yes i am the shortest].
We then made a surprise visit to NY for my cousin's bbq bashment! Apparently its the talk of the town cuz there were so many ppl there including my fam! it was like a mini fam reunion. Ppl i havent seen in years and ppl I have never met. There were even talks of a potential family reunion which I got really excited about because neither side of my families have had an official family reunion so just the talk of it allowed my mind to wander on the ways I can help plan.
As my family headed back home, I ventured upstate to see the BF! As the bus pulled into the lot, my heart started beating all fast and I got little butterflies. He was there waiting on me with umbrella in hand cuz I told him I couldnt get my hair wet. LOL. Hes so great! The week was fabulous. Movies, dinner, lots of hugging and forehead kisses [MY ABSOLUTE FAV!], bbqs, CcD, SPADES! Sunday came and I was not a happy camper. I was flying standby and that could be a post within itself but to keep it short, all the flights were full and I couldnt leave that day. So we actually got to visit a mutual friend, khaly, and my bff was staying there so it was double the treat. me and bff greeted each other like we hadnt seen each other in years haha. the BF even said that he didnt receive a greeting like that. lol. so i stayed at khaly's house to prevent the BF from driving so much. it was a sad day in NY state cuz my next time seeing him is TBA! sigh.
Visiting my loves made me realize how much I love my school. my qualms with the institution and its policies are often overruled by the friendships and relationships i have formed there. my inner circle with the exception of a couple all have ties to RPI. i wouldnt change it for the world. i truly have formed some great bonds with some great people. So i gotta try my darnest to make it for alumni weekend...i feel like its gonna be EPIC!
vaca update complete...now back to my regularly scheduled program.

blacked out.
yesterday i was really excited that i could complete my orientation, which meant i could start my internship very very soon. My body had something else in mind tho. I didnt complete orientation and ended up in the ER. They all kinds of tests but i was just fine. possibly a tad bit dehydrated. im kinda tired of being sick/going to the doctor. this whole being sick is for the birds.wale and jcole in concert together in 3 weeks?! i must go but i dont know where that $20 is coming from. *sidebar: more about nothing came out today and it probally one of the best mixtapes ive ever heard. download it here.* but i gotta find it cuz i HAVE to go. this would mean i would complete my goal of seeing my rap trinity in concert before 2010 ends. i gotta find a sponsor.
we're having a mini family vaca this weekend. we out to philly and nyc. i am convinced NY will be always be my second home. i have so many ties there. but im excited for this adventure.
