So when you graduate, you're actually a real person. hmmm.

Its amazing how once your undergraduate career is over and you move on to new things, youre relationships with people instantly change. Case in point, I have become really good friends with a few current and former professors and staff members at OU. We talk on a regular basis, and all though not many people have ever censured themselves around me, these people now are slightly different. They are very fun. Id be more specific, but this is the internet and since anybody can, might, and probably is reading this, I wont put all of that business out in the streets. Cuz the streets are definately watching.

It is rather amazing though, a professor that many people see as scary, powerful and sort of God Like has actually spoken to me about 10 times on the phone over the last 4 days. Other staff members have become great friends and call me, email me. It is amazing to be an equal to these people who are amazing themselves.

I realized the last couple of days that life is actually rather amazing. In my opinion, it only sucks if you want it to. I know I get down in the dumps sometimes, usually as a result of nerves...And I know I get frequent road rage, Im probably gonna kick somebody ass again if people dont learn how to drive their cars! But generally speaking Im usually pretty high off life.

To be able to go to college and get an education, especially in a country where everyone doesnt have equal access to it is amazing. Then to go to college and rack up award after award, get a good girlfriend, and survive four years of dorm life...Hey who can complain about that. The point is I have really done some amazing things over the last years and compared to the couple of really shitty situations I figure everything is just butter.

On a tangent, just like the rest of my journal entries...I have a little story. So I have a friend or maybe I dont, but I have a friend...and our story or history began as me being a crutch for her. This isnt any type of secret, she often told me of how whenever she didnt know what to do she came to Steve. I didnt ask for this, but since Im often too nice and I have a tendency to not care, I just went with it. Now over the years the friendship grew, then for a long time, it became weird. After we stopped having classes together, the friendship was kinda exposed as one of convienance because we never really spoke to each other. After I realized that the friendship would never be of the same quality I believe I started to put it to the back burner and just leave it out in the air. I realize that she didnt do the same and thats where the point of this paragraph magically appears.

It is very important for people to have effective communication. I think that if people were able to actually speak and say what they feel without fear of hurting someone else, the world could be that better place we all speak of. I know I personally dont have a problem saying anything to anyone, but thats a lie. I dont have a problem saying stuff to people as in my language. Like if I want to say nigga, or ass, or dick, Im not going to change those words up and say black hood guy or butt. But when it comes to emotional stuff I usually like to stray away from that. That has changed in recent days and I am no longer having a problem with that area of life. Self Improvement is a gradual thing and when it happens its a really good feeling.
