• Classic Slave Narratives
• Impact/ Media
• Review of Grammar
• and David Sedaris

Hmmm.... One would think life is easy as an English Major. However, It's tough on your brain, stess levels, and wallet. If I were to purchase all these books, my bill would be about $400. But thank God the Library exists!! LOL... I've been renewing these book (half of which I rented for the semester) over and over again for the past 12 weeks. And it's allowed me to save the money I could've spent. 

Yeah, it's kinda cool being an English Major.

Crochet....

I've always had this love for Arts & Crafts. Now that doesn't mean I am a pro at it, but ask me what I've made and I'll proudly list:

• A Ipod Snuggy
• Scarves upon Scarves
• A hat for my precious niece
• A book cover
• an many more to come...

What's my next project?? Hmmm...well my new fad of course! LOL

I've fallen victim of these luscious Loop/Infinity/Circle scarves!

And I just figured...

Why buy, when I can make!! 

Update to come...

after all, I'm heading to my fave crafts store tomorrow! YAY!

His name is Jesse... Jesse Boykins III

Ever since my bestie and sister, Lauren R.D, introduced him to me, I have been infatuated. I don't know. All I can say is the feeling was unimaginable. You ever felt like something so classic was just dying away right in front of you? Well I have felt this or R&B ever since the "Souljah Boy" characters have let themselves go--running on a rampage trying to make extinct, everything we knew and love about our Neo Soul. Hmmm.... but not this man. He's my Maxwell, if I must say.

"I thought I'd ask her out tonight 

and maybe she'd say 'yes' and go.

She was way to fly for me

so we ate on the top floor

I'm hoping all this altitude would impress her even more

She was amorous...."

Linked In's: Career Explorer

The week has been dedicated to finding my career path. After having a conversation with a not-so-optimistic classmate, I realized that no one--in this day and age--is going to lend out jobs. Especially in the publishing Industry. So how can I boost myself to being a valuable worker? I have to study this business back and forth. Kind of like the way I study my hair.

You can call it an obsession but these days, I'm all about being healthy and productive. I may look obese, but my doctor likes my insides. And I do as well. There is only one month left before my semester ends and now that I'll be free in my latter semester of college, it is time I begin to look for a job. A real job.

Then it came to me! In an email of course. Linked In, a social network I'm not as "linked" into, told me to map out my career path. So I did, and I swear, it's it so0o helpful! More updates to come!

Which job is that? Well, an entry level Editorial Assistant of course!

A New Tactic to Suggest! RQR!!!

It has been a few weeks since Netchem and I committed ourselves to taking better care of our manes. However, I have run into a problem. I have been experiencing the early stages of carpel-tunnel, in my wrists and so my doctor suggests that I give them a rest. Though this entails all exclusion from typing, doing my hair, and overly exercising my wrists, I can only stop the latter two. 


So for now, I am on a timeout. Good News though! Starting December first, I am determined to get back on board. Not only will I continue my weekly co-washes and monthly deep conditioners, but I will start the regimen seen below. It is called the Real Queens Regimen and consists of 4 things: 
1) EVOO
2) The Green House Effect
3)Planned washes
4) Protective styles.
