Delurking Day!!

What’s good Blogland?

I know its been awhile… How was ChristmaKwanzaanaukah? Cool?

Well.. I’ve been blogging for 2+ years and although I don’t dust the cobwebs off this thing as often as I should, I still read all of the comments and respond if necessary. So, with that being said…

ITS DELURKING DAY!!

I peep my stats about once a week and see some of the same IP’s coming through to read and never commenting or saying anything in addition to the 35+ subscribers I have on Google Reader (yea, I follow my own blog on there…).

 Since Dr. Melly is bugging me about it on G-Talk as we speak With that being said.. I would like for everyone to come through and drop a comment. How’d you find the blog? Do you enjoy my writing? Think I’m annoying as all get out? Have a favorite post? Think I should be checking out your blog?

Drop a comment below!

Transparency, Part II.

This post may not make sense if you haven’t read the first one, so read this before going forward.

About two or three weeks ago, I talked to Ma Dukes. She said that she would be out of work until February so that she could make an attempt to get her health back in order. She still smokes and drinks, so I have yet to see any improvement. I hope she’ll take the necessary steps to rectify the situation before it’s too late.

As far as the internship in Germany goes, I got a call from someone from the company IN Germany about a week ago asking if I was still in fact interested in the position (of course.. I had only submitted the application two to three weeks prior). She said that although she couldn’t offer me the position yet; she recommended that I obtained my passport. Does that mean I have it?? *crosses fingers*

My niece, her GF and her GF’s kid still live with us. They claim that they’re looking for a place to move to, but I’m not exactly sure what they’ll find on such a small budget. *shrugs*

I’m enjoying my one week Winter Break from school and work. I start back up at my internship on 12/21 and will also be at the weekend gig until returning to school in Late January. I have to help out where I can.

Don’t Tell Me It’s Over.

The Fall ‘09 Semester has come to a close, and I couldn’t be happier. The semester started out like all others but took a turn for the worse towards the end. With the onset of sudden issues from home, my concentration dwindled and my stress levels rose. It honestly got to the point where I stopped eating, I started waking up at 3 and 4 am, and developed a sullen attitude.

It even got to the point where I had a mini-panic attack while studying with my study group early last week.

Depression ain’t no joke.

As far as school goes, I feel that I did well in all of my classes and on the final exams. The only class I’m worried about is my Materials of Mechanics class because that final was a doozy! When I got to the final (after spending 14 hours on campus the day before studying) I thumbed through it and was relieved that the material that was covered towards the end of the semester WAS NOT on there! Even though that was the case, the exam ended before I finished the second to last problem, so I’m definitely hoping for a miracle this time ’round.

What is it with professors waiting weeks and weeks to post grades? Morgan State has a rule that states professors have to post final grades within 48 hours of exams, but its not enforced. Last semester, I didn’t get one of my grades until the week of Christmas! As much as I want to blame it on them, I can’t. Morgan State hasn’t posted the page for Fall ‘09 grades yet, so even if the professors have submitted grades to the University Registrar, they haven’t appeared online.

Random Thought of the Moment: I’m sure I did well though. *crosses fingers just in case*

Tell’em How You Feel Thursday: December 17, 2009

1. In the past few days I’ve celebrated my 2nd blog anniversary AND my 23rd birthday. Although things could always be worse, I’m grateful for those two milestones.

2. I feel like our “situation” is one-sided, and it sucks because I’m feeling you way more than I should.

3. I had fun Salsa dancing with you last Friday. You couldn’t stop looking into my eyes, huh? lol…

4. Thought, Word, and Deed. It makes sense once you think about it.

5. Happy 4th birthday Taye!

Two Years in the Game.

 

Even though yesterday (12/13) was my actual 2 year blogiversary, I refuse to break my “No Blogging on Sunday” rule. Actually, I’ve blogged on Sundays before but I totally forgot about my blogiversary until about an hour ago…

Moving on.

I just sat here and read the post I wrote to commemorate my first year of blogging. I read about all of my plans to delve further into Social Media/Networking and all that stuff. I went into 2009 with my head held high, and then… Life happened. With the decision to buckle down and concentrate on school and because of the fact that I’m on Twitter way too much, my blogging suffered.

I went from posting 4-5 times a week to posting 1-2 times a week to sometimes not posting at all.

Now that I’m going into my third year of being a blogger, I think I’ll refrain from posting my goals and letting the world know what that I have planned. It’s not that I’m trying to be secretive, I just think that it’ll be interesting to see how everything will change in 364 days time.

I also want to thank every blog reader, commenter, lurker and person that types the wrong URL for stopping through here. I appreciate it.

Here’s to another year. *raises glass in the air*

1. I want to thank the both of you for having my back.

2. I’m kind of disappointed with the way everything has turned out, but leaving it alone is definitely for the best.

3. Now that they’ve pointed it out to me, I’m starting to think that everything you do is a ploy for attention.

4. 13 days until I turn 23!

5. I hate feeling this way. I need to get out of this funk.

6. Your advice is usually spot on. I still don’t understand why you refuse to take your own at times.

7. It seems as if I’m not the only on that’s had a moment of clarity today. It’s about time!

8. My guard’s back up on all fronts.

9. A vacation is long overdue for the both of us.

10. It’s good to see the both of you back in good spirits again.

Tell’em How You Feel Thursday (on Wednesday): November 25, 2009

I know I didn’t do one of these last week. So I’ll make up for it today. *Cracks Knuckles* Here goes…:

1. I’m not surprised by your antics anymore.

2. Every time you say something, I get the feeling that you’re talking about me. Are you?

3. Sucks to be ignored, huh?

4. Uh huh. You’re not as slick as you think you are.

5. I tend to overreact when it comes to certain things. I have a feeling that you already know that though.

6. It’s a damn shame how that situation went down. Sorry, homie.

7. Pay attention, dammit!

8. Uh huh. I saw you doing the Stanky Leg. Happy 60th birthday. LOL

9. I feel like an old fart sometimes.

10. Man, you make me proud. Hopefully you’ll grow up and learn from other people’s mistakes like I did.
