And just like that.....

"You have a habit of letting people hurt you and instead of addressing it head on, you harbor anger/hurt and talk about it." Look. One of my best friends just read me like, "The Cat in the Hat."

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 ...

I am reading this book. The book is really good but it's extremely tough for me. I started reading it with no knowledge of how difficult some of the content would be for me. I'm determined to finish it. I won't be defeated like I was by 'Lovely Bones.' But it's still really hard. Just really hard.

The Michigan Difference. If you know a Wolverine, past or present, you have heard this saying. All Wolverines pride themselves on this difference and being the Leaders and Best. The question: what is this difference we speak so highly of? Coming to Michigan we were the top of class. Albeit athletically, scholarly, or financially. For most of us high school was not a difficult task. Personally, I breezed through high school. I didn't have to study and most things came easy to me. This was not the case when i got to Michigan. I struggled for a lot of things at U of M financially, emotionally, physically, and grades. And I know many of my classmates had similar struggles. We became self-motivated, determined fighters!! That difference is FIGHT!!

Yesterday, I found that my Aunt Lou (my grandmother's sister) passed. This is my first time dealing with the of someone so close to me. When my sisters and I spent summers in Detroit we spent a majority of our time with her. It has been hard for me to deal with mostly because my grandmother has lost both of her younger sisters. The only thing I can think of is that my grandmother being the oldest is going to be gone soon as well.

When I was younger I NEVER EVER wanted to chop my tresses!!!! For the most part I've always had thick and healthy hair. There was one point during my sophomore year of college where my hair was over-processed and falling out! I thought my life was OVER!! I couldn't believe that this was happening to my hair. But something happened to me during my latter years of college....I realized it was JUST HAIR! And since then I have been chopping away and trying new things!

You may not know this about me but I'm a NERD!!! Certified Grade A Nerd!!! I love books (cried when Borders closed), play the cello, paint, like museums, wear big glasses, love colorful Keds, did well in school you know the usual!!! So, when I discovered Donald Glover aka Childish Gambino I felt that my prayers had been answered!! A nerdy rapper!!! Granted Glover isn't rapping about having straight As in school but he does hit on a lot of issues that I can relate to. His album Camp is everything and has gotten me through many a tough workout!! Granted, I'm "late to the game" because I wasn't hip to him when he just dishing out mixtapes but still though!! Now, I'm in love!! Check him out when you get the chance!!
