I'm not dead or anything...
...it's just that this particular school year keeps me from sitting down for longer periods of time at home to update (and I can do facebook on my cell phone.)
So let's see...what have I done?
I've lost weight.
I've taught a real class of crips and bloods the story of Romeo and Juliet. I even made them sit on the side by their affiliations, and the side with the most (just so happen to be bloods), pick the prettiest girl in the class to act as Juliet. I prayed this would not be a mistake, but they really get it. And they talk to each other a lot more now. AND they stopped saying crip and blood in my class. They say the CAPS and the GOOS (MontaGUES). And they had to choose a song that represents each family. The Caps chose "Swagga Like Us", and the GOOS chose "Rockin' that Thang" because Romeo is, and I quote, "Pussy-whipped". (Yeah, the boy that said that got put out and detention.) Oh well...whatever works.
I bought a titty shirt and went to a birthday party at a bar (you know I still can't do clubs). I refuse to do any parts of the stanky leg, but when they played old school New Orleans music, I had to back my thang up.
I've really gotten this makeup thing together. So much so that I've been asked about working at a MAC counter in Nordstrom's. That's a big deal! Which is better, 30% off a bra, or 30% off a 6-color eyeshadow quad?
I'm starting the process to start graduate school. I'm about a year or so late on this, (I wanted to start after my second year.) I'm looking for grants and scholarships to keep this no loan thing going.
You know I've been tired because I went to sleep (on and off) at about 6:15pm yesterday, and woke up at 7:45 this morning.
So, hello everybody! 4 fridays left til my summer vacation. Let me make it!
