Hello you guys...How are you?? I am bored out of my mind and thinking as always...
I am thinking about the reasons why I need to start living in the moment instead of trying to figure out the future. How can I have a future if I dont live for today? The future has to come from somewhere and I guess thats why God gaves us the "present". I am confused still on alot of things but I am realizing that its alright to stop thinking so much and just live. If you can just imagine being a senior in college with no clue about what's next? If you dont watch out, it will consume you and take over you. I think for me it is the constant remindance of not having that entry level position or creditials for grad school. On top of that, everyone wants to know whats next for me esp. my family. But all I have to say is "idk" and "ive applied to stuff but there has been no luck". So whats a girl to do? Should I sit here and weep or just live for this moment and know things will work out for me. For those of you who have read my blog on a consistent basis know I am simply obsessed with this subject. Its not something that I should ignore but I do need to start living for today and not worry about everyones input on MY future. The economy has really messed it up for newly college graduates but I cant let that get to me or determine my destination. So until then I will continue to pray and hold God in my heart and whatever is whatever.
Romans 8:28
And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.

Me and Airplanes dont get along...
Hey everyone...How are you guys? I am starting class and figuring alot of things out...
Well I told y'all I had a story to tell you guys...it is kind of too late to talk about it because it is no longer fresh on my brain but Ill tell it anyways...
So last Wednesday night I was getting ready to come back to school and i couldnt go straight to sleep because I was excited about coming back to school in a good n bad way but neways I ended up going to sleep around 3am and my plane was scheduled to depart at 8:55 am.
My mom and I leave the house Thurs. morning at 7:45 am. It takes maybe 15-20 min to get to the airport so that would mean that I would be getting to the airport in good timing like I always do for the past three years I have been going back and forth from Texas to Ohio where I attend school.
I get to the airport at 8:05 am. I am at the check-in counter at 8:10 am. As I am checking in immediately the agent pulls me and another black girl to the side while asking what time is both of our flights (mind you we were the only two he pulled to the side. also it takes maybe 30 seconds to check-in and 15 min to go through security..so I would have been right on time for my flight like I am always for the past three years). We both coincidentally were on the same flight. He tells us we can not check in because we are too late. So Im like okay..."sir I still have time to check in...me standing here is not helping that" (we go back and forth for 30 mins...I of course at this point cannot catch my flight because of the agent. I was suppose to arrive in Ohio at 2:30 pm and be picked up by the university van at 4:00 pm(not trying to catch a cab because thats too much money...around $75-$85...NOT happening). He is like there is another flight headed out to Ohio but wont be able to make it to my destination until 6pm so I explain how either he is going to have to pay for my cab fair or we need to figure something else out. At this point Im like I gotta call my mama and daddy and they are going to be upset. I knew right then Aug. 6, 2009 was just not my day. So he is like well we have a flight for tomorrow at 6 am. I will now have to go back home and be at the airport at 4 am the next morning (pissed off!)
Once I go back home, I try to call the corporate office for this airline. I get absolutely no response. They tell me I have to send them an email and there is nothing they can do. Well of course having the father I have thats just not going down. So we go back to the airport at like noon and me and my dad speak to the agent. The agent of course is like you were late and thats that. We speak to his supervisor and she is like there is nothing we can do (we knew that I was still going to have to take the next flight out but right now we are looking for some compensation or something because my plans were altered in all kinds of ways). So my dad is like is there any number that I can call someone directly and to get some direct answers as to really why I was not able to get on the plane. The supervisor gives her direct number knowing my dad wanted to speak to anyone other than her (she thought she was slick...she just wanted him to get out of her face) Ironically, there was another passenger in my same predicament arguing about how he was not able to check in because he was "late". But neways my dad pulls out his cell phone as we are leaving out the door and the same agent picks up the phone...we were like "are you serious" (talk about insulting someones intelligence) Why would you give me your number when you are the one we are having problems with).
From there we just give up (we made a few more calls and gave up), but later on that day we were sent an email for a voucher.
I wanted to tell this story because it is just evident that you cant just let people run over you. If you pay for something, you should be able to have great customer service no matter if you are in the right or wrong. I cant even tell you how rude and inconsiderate the agents were and on top of that they tried to insult my intelligence. After my dad and I talked about the situation, we used common sense and realized that the plane had to be overbooked because I have been catching flights like this all 3 years I have attended school. It was just all the way strange. I have never been done like this and on top of that, we couldnt get in contact with the airline to express what happened.
Well, Im here at the good ol WU but it is just amazing how much happens just to get here. Something always happens to me with the airport. They have lost my luggage like all the times...it shocks me that I actually receive my luggage on time, put me on the wrong flight (I was suppose to be headed to Ohio and I ended up in North Carolina..true story lol), and everything above. I guess me and airplanes just dont get along!!!!

HHHeeeeyyy!!! How are you guys??
This summer is coming to a close for me. I will be back at the da good ol WU in Ohio in exactly a week. I am excited yet scared but Im going to be alright (this is the last year)...I just have that feeling...God has something in the works for me. I have come so far and I am still running. All I can be is thankful and appreciative for the good and bad times especially the bad times because they allowed the good times. I am thankful for the few people I surround myself with, family, and even the ones I am now disconnected from. I am so grateful for the blessings already set in place over my life. I know this only the beginning to a beautiful story.
Just when I stopped worrying...
Thats when things started happening...
Let go and Let God lead the/my/your way!!!

Is it just me??
Hey everyone...How are you? Me? I'm counting down 'til I'm back at school....
Today's subject is text messaging. Is it just me or is text messaging becoming the ultimate yet annoying/unattached/uninformative/just plain wrong way to communicate? I feel text messaging is taking away from getting to know people and has excused and erased common communication. I am a victim and doer of these things, but it has been brought to my attention again text messaging is ruining our relationships of all kinds. I don't really know how people feel about me or how they feel about a certain subject because of the "lol", "j/k", and constant emoticons. Can we get back to having a normal, informative, non-interrupted conversation? Why is it that when you text someone and the text is becoming too long to text (the conversation is getting good and interesting but it is simply too much to text anymore...it deserves a phone call!) you call them and they don't answer the phone, yet you were just like a split second ago texting them?
I have concluded that we are becoming people who don't like to really express how we really feel, so we hide behind text messaging. With a text message you don't have to answer a question right away or say how you really feel right then and there. You can go and think for an hour and text back, but on the phone you can't hide how you feel naturally. You have to talk. There is no time to think of a quick way to get out of babysitting the bad kid, going out on a date with someone you don't want nothing to do with ever in life, or saying I love you.
Does anyone else feel this way (let me know)? Also, I want to touch on facebook, myspace, twitter, etc. We spend so much time looking at (I'm a criminal too.) who changed their relationship status, what so and so said on so and so wall, did you see what he/she said on him/her status, did you see the pics she posted...she need to stop, and on and on. I personally am the most addictive of them all. I'm waiting on the day when I can just get off of facebook and live life physically instead of electronically totally. Don't get me wrong I do believe in change and technology, but at the same time nothing can take away a genuine hug, true conversation face to face, and just the physical person period whether it be your friend, lover, or family. Let's go back a little:)

Family is Forever:)
Hey everyone...How are you? Im getting ready for my little visitor and as always Im thinking...
My little cousin is coming over so it will give me something to look forward to for today. This will be the first time that I would have to entertain a six year old but its cool lol. I do believe that we as family need to be around each other so that one day we will have cherished memories, and we need to get to know each other cause you just never know who you may need one day. Just this past weekend I went to Dallas, TX for a family reunion on my mother's father's side, and it is just amazing how time flies. It also made me see how we as family arent as tight/close knit as it was back in the day. Now everyone is off doing their own thing, and there is no time for the family. We need to bring some of that back because like I said you just never know when you need your family because friends come and go but family is forever.:)
