2010 = New & Improved Me

It's 2010. That sounds so weird. Where does the time go? I can remember my freshman year in college like it was yesterday. Now I'm in my last year. Been through so many ups and downs. But everything happens for a reason and I must learn and grow from every situation.

There are a few changes I said I was going to make this year and so far I have been successful in dong so. :-) I have begun to change my diet. Not so much pork and beef. More poultry and seafood. The next tep in that is to cook baked or sauted fish versus fried. I love fried Tilapia though! lol

Trying to live life to the fullest. Seize opportunities, shoot create opportunities. I'm still an amateur in the modeling world and I wasn't getting as much exposure or help that I needed to learn the industry. I'm apart of two modeling organizations but I am starting to take my own initiatives. I had my first solo shoot last weekend! I set it up and the photographer even drove to me, like an hour away. It was fun! Can't wait to see the images.

Ugh this week I was going to open my business, Lil Bit's Kitchen but I canceled it and am now revamping my company and menu. Someone else here at my school has taken my idea. *Sigh* So now I have to rise to the new competition. Only problem is I don't have the time to run my business like I want to due to my classes. My competition is open all week. I don't know what kind of school schedule she has but mine does not allow that. Shoot on Tuesdays I don't even finish with classes until 8 at night and my first class that day is at 9:30. On campus ALL day.

So needless to say it breaks my heart that I can't expand my hours as I would like to. This business is my baby. :-( And it looks GREAT on my resume. But my classes come first and they are all major courses so I must do exceptionally well in them. I must stay strong because they look like they may be a challenge and a lot of work. Encourage myself since I don't get it from too many other sources.

They are building an Olive Garden here at my school. Going by today to check the progress and see if they are hiring yet. It would do wonders for me if I could get a job there. I'm definitely trying to do their Intern Management Program this fall so I can graduate in December. It shouldn't be a problem to find an Atlanta location for me to intern at, atleast thats what they say.

Babies, babies everywhere! My God babies are growing up so fast! I love my boys! And a third one is almost here! Not to mention my cousin is about to have a boy and just yesterday I found out my younger cousin is 6 weeks! Geez!! Babies are blessings though regardless the circumstances. I anticipate the day I begin my family. But not now! Lol

My heart is full of love for all and especially for one particular person. Not a day goes by that he doesn't cross my mind. It warms my heart just to have a conversation with him. I feel like I could tell him anything and he would not judge me. I pray for him and worry when I don't speak to him. It's crazy because sometimes when I really think about it I can't believe that I'm having the opportunity to know this person. Let alone receive his love. Yes, he is that GREAT! :-) No one compares to him in my eyes. Just waiting for the day he truly opens up to me as a friend. I feel the distance in our friendship and it's outweighing the physical distance between us. I feel a little helpless regarding the situation because of the physical difference. But I don't give up. You should never give up on something or someone you can't go a day without thinking about. :-)

Requested Update

My bestie brought it to my attention that I need to update, soooooo here goes!

Well I'm FINALLY on summer break now that summer school is over. Yay!! I just try not to think about the fact we go back in 2 weeks for the fall lol. My 4th year of college....whew I'm getting old!

I'm sooooooooooooo happy I was able to go home the weekend after summer school ended. Not Atlanta....but Ohio my original home. We had a family reunion. Good times, good times. I'm mad all weekend I was convincing certain family members that I'm a Senior in college and 21 now. Some asked me if I had graduated high school yet! Lol Sheesh! (<----Yea I took your word bestie lol) It's all love though. That just means I'm still going to be sexy at 50! ;-)

Sadly, I'm still on the hunt for a job. Hoping to luck up on something real soon before everyone gets back from break. Wish me luck!!

On a side note.......man I'm just a lil upset. Ok I live in a 4 bedroom 2 bath apt right? This past semester I really only had 2 roommates. One had planned to move to another complex when her lease was up. The other not only was staying, but her 2 cousins, that are entering freshman, were going to move in with us. I was coo with that. Her cousins were coo. Now they are ALL moving to another apartment complex together and I'm getting 3 new roommates. Apparently these 3 new roommates are all friends. SMH. *sigh* I don't like this.....I don't like this at all.

So I met this guy.... :-) He's pretty great....super funny and smart, handsome, a sweetheart and a gentleman, and extremely spontaneous! Like jumping out of airplanes spontaneous! Lol No joke. But..... (Ok I know your thinking but? He sounds great! Whats the problem??) Well this super smart guy has a math scholarship he just became eligible for again. That's wonderful! The catch? The scholarship is at another school. So he left me Friday.....*tear* Lol ok I didn't cry for real but I am sad about it. He says he's going to come back to visit and wants me to go there. It's like 2...2 and a half hrs away. So we shall see......... Interestingly enough, I had a visit from a guy I used to talk to yesterday. I'm telling you dudes have radar!!! Just as soon as my friend leaves here he comes. There was something different about him though. Not bad though. It looks as though he is ready to settle down with one female. Oh not like marriage but you know get a girl and leave the single life. I think this is a test!!! I must tred softly. Make the right decisions. But what ARE the right decisions? Hmmm.....that is the question.

Despite those 2 there is one person who really has my heart already. I think he be in denial sometimes though lol Like he doesn't believe me when I tell him how much I care. There is a distance issue with him though....like many guys I have met, It's like the story of my life lol. I wouldn't think twice if I was asked to be with him though. Yup, it's that serious.

*Yawns* Getting sleepy now sooooo I think this will be all for now. I just hope the giant tarantula looking spider doesn't try to kill me in my sleep again.....I hate spiders. Ew. I can't wake up thinking a giant spider is jumping at my face again. I might snap. Then I will just be sitting there looking like a pyscho chic trying to fight an imaginary arachnid. I can see it now...being wheeled away in a straight jacket twitching and saying "It seemed so real......." SMH.

Dealing With Life As it Comes To Me

Wow it's been about 5 weeks....time for an update!!! Omg......where to begin??? Well the first half of summer school is over! Yay!!! 2 classes down 2 more to go! Whew! I just hope this southern heat doesn't get the best of me! These triple digit temperatures are no joke!!

On a sad note....I lost my job a couple weeks ago. *Sigh* The down side of being a student sometimes, even after a year and 3 months. It's all good though, the search for something new begins! I also stepped down from my executive position in my entertainment group and left the group all together. *another sigh* lol Gotta do me though and start grinding for this paper!!

I'm still a promotional model though! And things are slowly but surely coming along for my business which is set to open this Fall. Yay!!! I can't wait! And people are so interested and intrigued that I have this all planned out while still in undergrad. I will and must succeed! :-)

On another note........I'm single right? Just waiting on Mr. Right to sweep me off my feet ya know? Lol Naw but lately I have been hearing from all these blasts from the pasts! And all at the same time!!! What's up with that?? Do they have radar or something? Lol All of a sudden everybody misses me and wants to spend time. SMH....I dont understand.....I'm not a mean person so I try to let everyone down pretty easy but in the back of my mind I'm thinking..."WTF?? Where you come from? Please go crawl back into the hole you been hiding in. You were dismissed for a reason." Boys....who think they are men....they are funny man.

Hmmm Mr. Right........ He is present in my life...he just isn't Mr. Right NOW. But that's ok. I'm patient and like they say if it's meant to be, then it will be! Until that is made clear I am content with how things are!
