Back to the Bay

I have to say this because it's what I've been telling everyone lately: I'm soooo tired! I don't know what is wrong with me but I've been tooo tired! I think it's because I drove from Arkansas to California but that was weeks ago! I should feel better by now. Anyways, I've gotten my grades. I'm proud to say that I hit a 3.0! Mostly Bs, One A...and an extremely ugly D (I'm too embarrassed to speak on which class I got this grade in because its ridiculous). Next semester, I'm doing for a 3.5. That means no Ds or Cs and an allowance of only one B. I know I can do it so I'm actually anxious to get back to school. Crazy, huh? Miss I-hate-school is ready to go back!

Today is X-Mas eve. Ohhh, how I hate the holidays. But I wish you all a very merry X-Mas and a beautiful New Year!

Home

I'm going home next week. Home as in Oakland, CA. However, I'm not 100% on an exact address. I'm trying to turn over a new leaf. I don't want to be some poor kid who was a victim of the system and fell through cracks. I don't want to blame anyone for how my life was or is. I want to be regular LoL. I know that sounds dumb but it's the truth. I just want to be like everyone else sometimes. Well, all the time. I listen to my friends here at PSC (PANTHERZ!) and they're not stressing over who they'll be staying with for X-Mas break. I wish I could say the same for me.

I say this fully realizing the blessings I've received, most in part because of the way I was raised. Scholarships, publications, ect. I thank God daily for all that I have. Especially because I know so many who were raised like me OR WORSE who have not only fallen through the cracks but don't know how to get back up. I'm grateful for all that I have but I can't help it but to want the same thing that I've prayed for since I was a little girl: ........

ON A BRIGHTER NOTE: The end is near! Finals are this week! I'm very confident about my grades. Maybe even cocky. After I'm done typing this, I'm going to begin studying for my Afr Am History and World Masterpieces course. I'm going to shoot for a B average. Next semester, ALL A's (and I aint talking about the Athletics. GO OAKLAND!)
