Just some thoughts

hmmm I dont really know what to post about.... No bad news, but no good news really

Exams are underway( congrats to anyone who just finished the semester, one more to go!)...just trying to plan my winter and spring break, and once again, I've changed everything around!! ughhh soo fustrating!! so now I'm going to London for winter break and Naija in the summer and I'll stay for a month or so ( summer school :-/ ) the rest of my summer will consist of classes and work...anyone know what to pack to naija if im going around june-ish? I was talking to a family friend of mine and she told me that when I go to naija, I will appreciate the US more because of the transportation and I will appreciate naija more because of the culture...i didnt really know what to make of that statement so i didnt say anything...we were also discussing how naija kids born here never really get the opportunity to go to Nigeria....anyway

for spring break I might just go to somewhere cold or I might just go do some work for HFH...dunno yet...everything is going pretty good for the most part, except me feeling like moving out of the country...lol...I always feel like that though so what else is new?!

Not really feeling the whole xmas spirit, I really wish I was spending xmas with a whole bunch of my family members ( most are all in Naija or UK,me sef ive lost track) Christmas in Naija would be out of this world; I can picture it now; food cookin, 1st cousins, distant cousins,aunties,uncles...the television on, everyone talking/discussing, and at the end of the night everyone would be all over the place, some sleeping on the couch, the floor or which ever spot they can find!! But now it seems like no one cares about stuff like that...they are off with their families doing their own thing... now I know what ppl mean when they say to enjoy the little time you have with family until you "grow up" (move out,get married and all that)hmm such is life...

I'm going to a naija xmas parry today ...hmm im sure all the parents will be saying something like this to my mother " i have a son oh" or " please oh, i want my son to stay connected to our culture, i will introduce him to ya daughtah"... its really funny sha... i get a kick out of it everytime...i dont blame them...



For any of you avid book readers,Authentic Beauty:The shaping of a set-apart young woman by Leslie Rudy is a good read...

I just found out that a boy I went to school with ( my freshman yr of college) just died, the happiest, funniest,cutest Bahamian guy you could ever meet. But he was battling his own demons...why are ppl like that the most miserable?


wishin u a wonderful weekend..& study hard for finals!

Naija state of mind/transfering/crazy day at court

So its official, I'm going to Nigeria ( Lagos and Benin), but not for christmas. I am excited! Ive never been to Nigeria but ive heard its fun -- I'm happy to be leaving the states for a while ( credit card ppl wan kill me) I'm not sure how hot or warm its going to be so I need some tips on what to pack ( sneakers? sandals, light cardigans? ) and also what cosmetics to bring? Is power ok? Should I bring acne face/body washes so I dont get pimples from the hot weather? idk i just dont want to look busted with pimples all over ( im meeting some family members for the first time o!) and what about hair styles? will a lace front in a longer style be too much? What are some of the popular beaches/malls/stores/movie theaters/restaurants/markets? I have a fair amount of young cousins ( my age) but im sort of shy to ask them questions lmao i dont why but i am, and they are all coming here anyway so i might not even be with them most of the time...I know im askin lots of questions but I'm curious o!

HAPPY14TH BIRTHDAY TO MY CUZZO!! ( just had to put that in there haha)

-on another note, Im trying to transfer for fall '10. I have a couple of schools in mind, some in Philly, one in LA...but I want to know about good colleges for international law...any suggestions?


So what I really wanted to post is what happened yesterday at court. My parents are divorced(about time). John sr ( thats what I call him) was always cheating/ beating on my mother so finally in 07 she threw his ass out....his shit was sitting on the porch, hangers and all lmao. So john sr is "dating" i mean using * cough* cough* my moms ex- best friend( can u imagine) and this lady is a straight up ASHEWO,seriously she sleeps with anything that has a heart beat. shes accusing my mother of making threats and saying she was going to kill her baby ( na wa o which 46 yr old dey born pikin? and for whia ) so we went to court yesterday...and john sr went with his "lady" to support her and LMAO this "lady" looked like ass twice warmed over. She had a lop sided ass wig with a penis shaped hump on top,lookin like a damn cone head . She had on some cheap ass flea market shoes and bag to match. Her and John sr were even matching o! Brown blazers, jeans and all. She looked HIT, no lie. Anyway the case was dismissed so my mother won. She didnt do anything so wor d hell she had to win and all her friends and our family members came out to support her. After we left court we had to get our tickets stamped for parking so we went into the store. John sr comes in and starts conversing with me and my uncle like everything was all gravy ( john sr is a mad man sha) and I started yelling at him telling him how hes chosing that ashewo over his kids, my uncle was also telling him the same thing. This "lady" starts saying oh dont mind them. She started getting closer to me so I started yelling at her I wanted to pull that rats nest she called a wig off her head. My uncle and aunts came to hold me down, and an undercover cop showed up and called the police....everything got blown up as usual...hey we're in america right? Americans like to blow up every little effin thing and at that moment I was wishing I was anywhere but here so i can js use hand tey sound am...that stupid man( john sr)...he gave that STUPID ASHEWO'S daughter ( who is all the way at Howard) my number to start cussin me out..then he called me...to tell me WHAT? god punish their heads.


NOTE:
if anyone goes to Howard beware of a girl who has a monkey-like appearance and a weave that looks more like a poodle on her head.She dresses like tellos/rainbows exploded in her closet,.Her face has been known to cause dizziness,shortness of breath and fainting.Consider yourself warned !
