ramblings

as i said in my previous post, this month has been nothing short of hectic. i'm in the process of moving (whoa!) and it's breaking me. i have accumulated so much stuff that i don't know if i'm ready to part with, even though they need to go. more importantly, i need boxes and of course i waited for the last minute and it's proving to be 40x more difficult than i thought it would be to get them. i hate my life. lol and my mother was supposed to come out a few days before i move in so that we could go buy my furniture but she won't be able to. ultimately, i'm doing this whole move alone. i'm extremely stressed but i think this is good for me. moving in will be that much more gratifying i guess (if i do move successfully, that is.) things will all work out, i hope. now, more than ever do i wish i wasn't such a frivolous spender because i would have my car and my problems would be pretty much solved. no matter, i'll be fine.
i just wish that i didn't have soo much to do in such a confined period of time. truthfully i wish i wasn't taking this damn summer class. that's what's creating the brunt of my stress.. everyone knows i don't do any real work at my job, ha..
-- totally irrelevant info--
on one of my many google crusades (ha) i came across this and decided to share:
[Robert F. Kennedy] gave a speech to the Voice of America all around the world 40 years ago. And despite what was going on in the country, particularly in Alabama, Bobby Kennedy said this: Things are 'moving so fast in race relations a Negro could be president in 40 years.' This is in 1968, we're now in 2008.

'There's no question about it,' the attorney general said. 'In the next 40 years a Negro can achieve the same position that my brother has.' ... Kennedy said that prejudice exists and probably will continue to ... 'But we have tried to make progress and we are making progress. We are not going to accept the status quo.'

Obama has this in the bag.

you look vaguely familiar..

it has definitely been a full month. lol.. life has been nothing short of insane. i can't say i'm hating it but i definitely can't say i'm loving it either.. what i am loving is the thought of me moving in less than a month! i'm too fricken excited. in other news, i've been in philly pretty much alone and have gotten a lot of self evaluation in. i realized that temple has radically transformed me into something of a bitter hag, lol. no, actually i think i have become a significantly better person in that i am no longer the naive, eager to fall & trust kind of girl that i once was. though i do spend a lot of time alone nowadays, i'd rather do that then have many people around me draining me of essentially my joy. it's whatever though, right now i'm in a very good place. i have my five best friends -- God, my mom, my sister, my blackberry and my ipod and i'm soon to add a sixth, my apartment. i'd say life is going pretty well. my next post probably won't be for a little while, this month will be pretty hectic. i'll try my best though =]
until next time, outski♥
