Life update!

I haven't really been blogging a lot lately. Mostly because....well I don't have a valid reason why. Just haven't really had much to say I guess. I figured I would give a little update on life up to this point:

1. I have finally registered for classes at NOVA. This community college down the street from my house. I am finally getting serious about taking classes and preparing for the GRE. I'm well on my way now. I'm actually quite excited about starting classes. I've always loved school.

2. I finished reading Kite Runner. And boy was that hard. I wasn't prepared for the content but I'm proud of myself for making it through the entire book (especially since I have yet to finish The Lovely Bones.) I had many a revelation while reading this book which have been difficult for me to accept.

3. My birthday was splendid!!! I went back to Atlanta and had a grand time as usual.

4. Recently a really good friend of mine have become more distant. It bothers me but I refuse to beg someone to talk to me once they've decided that they won't. I hate friends being ruined over men and I feel that things will never be the same. It's unfortunate because I truly valued that friendship. I'm just not sure how I should handle the situation.

5. I've been plagued with body image issues again. They've always been persistant in my life and at times I'm able to over come them and others I'm not. Right now I haven't been able to shake them. It's just really hard to tell yourself you're beautiful everyday when you don't believe it.

6. I've really been trying to be better with updating my sports blog! Haven't really succeeded but I'm working on it.

And that's all folks!!

Could you Speak up? I can't hear you.

I have always had difficulty standing up for myself or voicing my voice as the young folks say. Speaking my mind and expressing my thoughts and ideas terrifies me. I'm not confident in my opinions and often worry that I'm wrong. These thoughts are only heightened by my ever present anxiety. I'm constantly overthinking and concerned that no one wants to hear what I have to say. To me, my thoughts don't matter to anyone other than myself. My voice often shakes and gets quiet when I'm trying to express myself. I am either worried that my opinions will harm/offend or will go unnoticed. There are several moments over the course of my life where I regret not speaking up or saying something that was on my mind. There is a constant internal struggle that happens every time I faced with a moment to express myself. More often than not, I end up silencing myself. Which I can openly admit has done nothing for me.  All I ended up with was a nagging regret that I should have sa...

Ode to Ann Arbor

In about 4 days I will be saying farewell to Ann Arbor. And like I said before I'm excited to be going home but there is also a saddens that surrounds my move. I have done a lot of growing, changing, experiencing, and evolving here! So to have to say farewell to all of that is going to be difficult. I will miss: 1. Second Baptist!! I learned a lot about myself at this church. I am glad to call this my church home because without them I would probably be a hot mess! The one thing I can say faithfully is that my journey with them is not over! There are still things that need to be done here I will be back! 2. My friends!! I have met so many different people here. Some that will never leave, some that kept me entertained during class and others that I have drifted away from. But they all had a part in Michigan experience. 3. Gamma Delta! I have been through a lot with these young women and couldn't have asked to be part of a better, more productive, or more illustrious chapter!! T...

Right place...Right Time

God sure does work in mysterious ways! I know people say this all the time and it can get kind of old...until it happens to you! I was supposed to work today but my "big sister" had to have surgery and needed someone to take care of her for most of the day until my was able to take over the reigns. At this point I'm freaking out because I hate calling off work. For most people this isn't that big a deal but to me making a commitment is a big deal...and plus Direct Loans wants their money! BUT I also didn't want my "big sister" sitting alone not able to take care of herself. I decided to call off work and stay with her. This turns out to be a good thing. While I'm with her a woman she attends church with stops by for a visit and is asking me all types of questions. We begin talking about how I just graduated from Michigan and that I was taking time off before applying to grad school. I told her I was working at Trader Joe's.....and then she offers...
