so. the last few days have been soooo hectic. this whole graduating thing is kind of surreal. i dont think i'll realize the importance of it until im actually on the stage in front of 300 of my peer's closest family and friends, including my own. i put my dress and shoes on with my cap and gown last night at around 3 AM when my dad got home. we talked about alot of things, which was really good. i've been running all week and i havent had a chance to sit down with him and talk about what's going on in each other's lives. those conversations are what i cherish most. my dad's SO so proud of me. he never graduated high school, and i have a feeling he'll make me cry a number of times tomorrow. im really glad my mother will be here, but i really really wish my grandpa would come. i love him so much and i really want him to be proud of me more than anyone else becuase i havent gotten that from him in over 3 years, since i won a speech contest in for school. that's the last time i've heard the words "im proud of you" from him. ok, im getting hazy, enough of that.
today my dad and i are going shopping, he's buying me some jewelry to go with my dress. i also have to tan [fake that is], probably multiple times becuase i havent in like a week and a half. jess waxed my legs the other night so that's handled and i just plan on chilling out while i still can. after graduation me, my dad, my brother, my gran and gramp Bailey and my aunt shirley and uncle bob are going out to dinner, melinda [my brother's girlfriend] might also come with. after that jess and i are driving to wooster for manda's party!!!!! im pretty excited about that also.
on another note, i bought the mike jones album yesterday. i HIGHLY recommend it to anyone that likes southern screw hip hop or has any intrest in hip hop at all. the themes are kind of repetitive but the beats are amazing, there are some awesome cameos [slim thug and paul wall are my favorites.]
also, i bought a car yesterday! for any of you that have acctually SEEN my car, aptly named Ghetto Box on Wheels, this is a major upgrade. its a 95 mitsubishi mirage, just a little 2 door but it gets great gas milage, and it probably wont break down every 5 days, which is a plus. the car itself is only 250, and it needs a transmition which run around 200 to 300, so overall a 550 dollar car? nigga pleaaaase.
i've narrowed my school choices down to Raphael's School of Beauty Culture and Aveda Institute. Raephel's is cheaper, and way close, its in town and offer basic ideas. the Aveda Institute [drool] is in Austintown [=/] but their course is only a thousand more than raphael's and i'll get 5 liscenses. Klair might be going there too, which would be good for rides, and Aveda is a line of Salon/Day spas and they have a vast product line that only uses organic materials, everything is all natural and i'de be placed in an Aveda salon. and make a buttload. Aveda is the obvious choice but there are so many factors. I'll choose sooner or later
