There

Appreciating the love I receive,
the joy that comes to me,
when I see the people that care,
I appreciate everyone that is there,
And who has remained by my side,
even through all the rough rides
So grateful for the attention,
so thankful for the affection...
and loving everything in between. =)

Graduation

It's crazy to think that I will be graduating May 22nd, seems like I've been aiming for this goal for so long, that now that it's finally here, its some what unbelievable. I stare at my cap and gown, and that pretty sash that says "Chapman university" and I think to my self how proud I am of me... I wish I had others that were so intune with how big of an accomplishment this is for me.. but so many people are like "ehh I knew you would do it".. and I'm thankful in deed that so many people have optimistic views of me.. but I'm still kinda like.. "can I have my glory?" haha. I look at my 19 A's and hope these last two classes are A's, that would be a whole 2 years of straight A's... Just amazing to me, with full time work, full time skewl, a boyfriend, family, etc etc I managed to be resilient through it all =) Not trying to sound conceded or toot my own horn, anyone that knows me, knows I hardly ever give myself praise, "I guess I gotta poor my heart out to get my glory" (R. Les) I just think the closer I get to graduation, the more I feel like.. "I did it". I know its JUST my Bachelors, but in my eyes its another thing I said I would do.. and I have done ;0)

with that being said.. i include Ryan Leslie's new song "Glory". He is my favorite artist/producer and one of the most underrated, talented, inspirational artist out there. Amazing!

Pack Rat!

haha, saw this commercial today on tv for storage units, it showed how most men don't like to give up their old trophies, jerseys, sports memories, school memories, etc and that the women are usually the one to initiate "the change" to either get rid of those items or pack them up and put them in storage.... I started to laugh, because I don't think there is anything that Larry has thats old, that he refuses to give up... instead I have boxes and boxes of stuff from high school that I refuse to give up lol. Old dance uniforms, pictures, year books, diaries, just all kinds of stuff haha.. Not to mention I'm just an overall pack rat, seriously, I have stuff from like elementary still lurking in boxes somewhere haha... hey some people like to hold on to old good memories in their mind.. others like mementos for along the way =)
