Daddy dearest
It's funny. We all hear that if you don't have a father or father figure that you're screwed, in some way or another. If you have one that doesn't quite measure up, essentially being some kind of 1950s model, you're screwed. I had a friend sleep over last month and she, myself and my sister got into the topic of fathers. She didn't grow up with her ( Read more... ) -
Pop pop
I found out that I was accepted to the non-degree classes at a school in the city. Got almost the same reaction from my parents. It's a shame because at least I'm doing something relatively productive. Yes, it would be great for the credits to go degree status. I want to be able to take the three classes that are available for non-matriculated ( Read more... ) -

It's hard to believe that you're first on anyone's priority list when no one takes what you have with any importance. Must everything be in one extreme or another?
In other news, this heat is super ridiculous. I'm just glad I'm not down south. I'm might have actually exploded. -
Free money
Lost my wallet yesterday. Serves me right for trying to be so "social". And in Union Square of all places. I just had to check the balance on my card. Why couldn't I wait until I got home? I know this happens all the time but it doesn't make things any better. I had gift cards in there too and I have to be able to collect all of the free money I ( Read more... ) -
ASAP
You know, it really is a shame that my parents aren't happy for me, even if they're pretending. At least my brother, cousins, and everyone else is happy for me. They have been consistently talking about going back to school for the longest time, possibly even before I graduated. I showed my father the acceptance letter, to please my mother at the ( Read more... ) -
The unplanned plan
So I found the letter from Delaware State on my brother's bed while being a good sister and giving him his laundry. I don't really know why it was there, probably from grabbing his mail along with mine. Anyway, I saw two envelopes and one was particularly hefty. Didn't take much to realize that perhaps I got in? Opened it up and, yes, I did get in ( Read more... ) -

Every time I think that parents have made some leeway and might be turning into semi-decent people, they remind me that I might just be giving them too much credit. Then again, they're West Indian and almost 60. Yes, everyone has a capacity for change but at the same time, older people past a certain generation are just not likely to want to change ( Read more... ) -

I'm trying to stay positive, really I am. I know how easy it is for me to go down the other path. It just doesn't help when I hear someone say that they're going to Howard University for grad school.
Very funny universe. Fucking hilarious.
