I Love You, David

So basically the first month of school has been really hectic for me. I've been trying to make the most of my opportunities despite all the problems I continuously face. And I no longer have a dollar to my name. I am barely living check by check. I am still waiting on financial aid to get my signature paper for the 3rd time so that my tuition can get paid. I also have been trying to hide the fact that since David went to Nigeria, I feel different about my family situation. I felt that David kept my family together and now it is falling apart more than ever. Right now, I am currently fasting in order to bring myself spiritually closer to God. I feel I need a lot of direction, answers, and support. I really miss you David!

So this whole month has been POP-mania! From organizing things for September to recruiting at orientation. It wasn't the greatest month but POP has made it better. We have all new accomplishments this month: a completed and signed proposal, ready to print business cards, new email (poptv@pace.edu thanks Jeff!), over 100 fans on our facebook page, ready to be edited footage from Andre, a list of eager new freshmen, deals ready to made with other school's organization, and a growing contact list. I feel so excited and proud. I am very glad that we(Kaitlynn, Ivonna and I) took a chance on this idea that was generated by my simple interest during my first semester of freshman year. Well enough about POP I need to relax sometimes I'm a little too excited lol.

So another random thing that occurred this month was getting to finally see my favorite band Chester French perform(and for free too!) at the south street seaport. It was awesome and funny because during sound check a member of the crowd got upset about the lyrics of the song and argued with the stage manager, i couldn't stop laughing. I also got a free issue of PAPER Magazine ♥ (haven't read a lot of magazines lately because I've been broke but PAPER is one of my favorites!). It was a great day! Also in this past month I got go with my friends to MTV's new show, It's On With Alexa Chung! We served as audience members the day my favorite Demi Lovato(I know it sounds like everyone is my favorite but I really love Demi Lovato) visited the show. She was amazingly beautiful and I felt that although her interview seemed shy away from parts of her life, she was still genuine. I hope to see her in concert again one day and hopefully meet her and talk to her about her influence on me. All Demi Lovato lovers be sure to watch Princess Protection Program and get her new sure-to-be-awesome album!

Other things I am looking forward to is my favorite aunt and cousin from Canada are coming to spend the whole month at my house!!!! They always make my summer better and sometimes my aunt seems to be the only one to understand me. She does everything in her power to keep me happy and level-headed. Last summer she let Lisa and I stay with her despite barely being able to accommodate us, however she still did it because she knew I needed to get away from home. I appreciate all her efforts in my life and I am glad to have such a great aunt.

For some strange unexplainable reason I feel the need to discuss my recently added on my iTunes. This one is pretty long, about 30 songs! I downloaded the Nylon 2009 Summer Playlist. It was free and got me listening to new songs I would have probably never downloaded. I am really becoming a fan of the Tiny Masters of Today and La Roux. Also on my recently added list is Demi Lovato's new single "Here we Go Again" and Kid Cudi's "I Poke Her Face" (on repeat lol). Right now I'm in the process of downloading more playlists from Urban Outfitters' website. Free Music is fun!

Pancakes and Jonas

It's been an interesting month so far. A lot has been achieved. Most importantly I finished my RA selection "competition" lol. Although very stressful it was a great learn experience. I saw the Jonas Brothers. :D It was a great day. The show aired on MTV February 23rd. My video was include in the intro for the show, exciting. lol. Today was free pancake day, I day I greatly look forward to. At the RHA meeting today I had a really tasty pancake but my trip to a IHOP is brooklyn was an epic fail. I am currently working a huge media project, with great help from Ivonna and Kaitlynn, that I hope will cause a good change for Pace. WISH ME LUCK

Vampires = Sex and other problems

I have a slight obsession of vampire related stories, movies and television shows since I can remember. I often recall times in my childhood when I wished to be one really bad. I cannot remember what triggered my affection for them but it hasn't left me since. And with all of this, I have still managed not to read or watch twilight. I think it might put me over the edge, lol. I know this is a random post but it was what was on my mind right now.

In other news, as far as my goals go for the year. I am blogging more often. I am trying my hardest to obtain a job. I am also eating healthy and less often than before. The poem is still unstarted but not forgotten. And my RA application is great progress. I started the form, revised my resume, and got to letters of recommendation(one more needed).

This "vacation" was a miserable waste of free time. I babysat my very active but adorable david everyday from 8am till 8pm bearly any breaks. I know I enjoyed getting to see him since I rearly get the chance, however, I disliked the fact that my parent abandon me and left me responsible for almost everything. This was the difinitely the coldest winter ever. Christmas was also a waste. I tried to be in the spirit of giving instead of reciving but all got was complaint and only on thank you. I spent all my hard earned no sleep having final stressing money. But I learned my lesson I think. I grew up with this family yet somehow I always manage to be the only one burned by them. I should have learned my lesson before now.

However, I'm leaving this miresable island on friday. YAY! Saturday will be full of jobhunting and schedule planning. I'm spending the weekened with my awesome new friend Kaitlynn. We are going to work on our RA application and try and find other things to do around the city.

I have so many plans for this new year, I'm not going to let anything try and stop my progress. I'm still on a positive note and I'm trying to stay here.

Song Mood: Decode - Paramore (vampires=sex)
