Today's Thoughts

WOW! What a day! Today was lonnnnnnnnnnnnng. I worked pretty hard. I had a little boy threaten to "wait on me to go to my car. Beat me up, and throw me in the ditch." UnFREAKINGbelievable. Manohman. In after school tutoring, the kids are still pretesting. It's wearing them down and they don't want to do it anymore. I must say that I don't blame them. They have been pretesting for the last four weeks and no one has given them any feedback on how they are doing. They see it as busy work and just mark answers so they don't have to look it anymore.

Good news...I got into school! Go me! I start in January, but I have no idea what I want to take. At this point, it really doesn't matter. I am just glad to be accepted. I wish they had an Africana Studies program, but they don't. I'm going to just do English. I just feel like I need to be in school somewhere. Another part of me thinks differently. I have been offered the same job three times. The only difference is the classroom. That might be a sign. I hope not because I am going to ignore it.

I am serious about this natural thing. My brother has his hair twisted. My favorite character in KH's book has her hair natural. Ranada is getting hers pressed. I really want to do this. I tried to do it this summer but didn't have the will-power. (Four months were three months too long!)I am going to try it again. I think I am ready this time. I have to call this lady back tonight to see if she can micro my hair. I want to keep it braided until it grows out long enough to twist. I really wanna do this. I called my mom last weekend and asked her would she press it for during Christmas. (I'm thinking ahead here.) That's how long I want to have my hair braided. I figure I can keep the braids until then, get it pressed and clipped so that it can breathe and maintain its healthy state, then get it rebraided. After those come out, I oughta be able to cut it off. We shall see.

OK, I have to go to the dorm now.
