Back in the Swing of Things

I guess I will start back writing on a regular basis now since I have done all I plan on doing to that senior paper. That was a headache and I am not sure it's over. I am hoping it is. Anyway, we had a senior class meeting today with the faculty and administration. My advisor has officially resigned so I have to talk to one of my professors about all my grad requirements. I actually think it's a good thing he is gone because he did not help me at all. He never answered any of my questions or returned any of my messages.
As graduation approaches I realize I am going to miss this place "where the eagles soar high and the moss hangs low." I have made some really good friends, met people in high places, made aquaintences with people who will be in high places, did research, made a documentary, had my work put on a website, and became a member of the first and finest black greek letter sorority. I have enjoyed Tougaloo. I am going to miss my professors, my friends, and my line sisters.
People always say college is the best time of your life. They were right, but this has also been the worst time of my life. I have lost more people in my family in the last four years than I did in the first 18 years in my life. I was hurt worse in college than I was in high school when I "thought" I was in love. All the people I considered friends in high school seemed like they became nonexistant when I got to Tougaloo. It was like we had nothing in common anymore, with the exception of three who I truly love and pray will be my friends forever. I picked up an attitude out of nowhere. I don't know when I became such a smart ass. That part is ok though. ;) I also picked up a habit, well not a habit, but I started doing something that my mom is not too happy about. (Notice I said my mom, not me.) I have been through a lot, but I have enjoyed every minute of it and wouldn't trade my experience for anything. All of my good days outweigh my bad days so I won't complain. God has been good to me.
I came in here to type about what has been going on these past two weeks, but I guess my mind was elsewhere. Now I have to go to this basketball amongst the fraternities. Maybe I will catch up later.
