The past-due entry...
I always want to write in here, but once the time actually comes to get down to it. I can't get myself together to make an entry happen. Since there's been a lot that I want to reflect on...a lot of (older) stuff is not going to be brought up in much detail.
So Howard...
stepshow=entertaining
environment=Bud Bilikin Parade for 3 days/nights straight(Chicagoans know what that means)
upperclassmen dorms=very nice
food=didn't taste it
attractive people= wow.
Overall, visiting Howard was a great experience and it really has nothing or little to do with the actual atmosphere of being with all black people, but moreso because of the friends that I was with. Ito and Iro are beautiful people and I am so inspired by them. I felt like I went on some kind of weekend retreat.
The majority (or so it seemed) of students at that school had a LOT of superficialistic and materialistic qualities, but at the same time there were many fervently-devoted Christians there and that was like something I've NEVER seen (in my peer group). Except I feel like going to that school would turn me out (horribly!), so it's much better that I'm where I am instead. I can stay focused here...cause......okay, enough.
I'm so tired and I talk on the phone wayyyyyyyyyyyyy too much. Last night, I talked to Michael from like 1am to 8am...no breaks, no holds, no joking...we had another one of our deep spiritual conversations that occurs about once every three to six months. I love talking to him--just straight-forwardly spitting the Truth. He will be a force to reckon with very shortly. I am so sure of that.
Because we talked for so long, I just went to sleep at like 8, woke up about 11, and have been up ever since.
Dedan stopped by today. We talked for an hour or so about random things....very cool fellow.
Tommorow will be a busy day. I dont know why I do this to myself.
