update:
just got back from a 8hr drive from philadelphia
the place was awesome..reminded me of new york but without the craziness.
you walk outside your hotel at 8am and it's actually quiet yet it's so city-like and by the time you walk out of a building at 6:30 it's rush hour traffic and by 10pm the drunks come out haha i really liked it..took a tour of temple university. LOVED their art school. the building and exhibits are amazing.

pics soon...i know i keep saying that but really there are so many I have to go through all of them to see which ones depict my experience without bombarding you with "meaningless" pics

ever feel as if you are destined to be in one place yet you have no specific plan or idea of how to achieve that destiny? yeaa that's me.

i feel that I am meant to be in the social surroundings of the media, fashion, action. whatever it may be i know that I do need to figure out a precise plan and start trying to check everything off of my to-do list.

sorry i haven't been consistent. lately i've been busy with a few things:
-sat subject tests..scores are in didn't do all that bad..
-part time job at nc a&t..getting pizzaid. but it's still school. womp.
--> wow. that's interesting the things administrators have to do to encourage young black scholars to be interested in a transportation program. (pay them to work). it's cool though, i'm meeting new people, learning about the transportation business (not very known in our society & they get paid BIIIG bucks. research it)
-finishing health class for highschool credit..did the tests now i have to do 2 essays on std's and alcohol...should be interesting and easy.
-met my new next door neighbor she's pretty cool..pictures soon (going to a concert on the 15th)
-speaking of concerts, I went to the beyonce concert. uh-mazing. more than i expected. pictures for that too. or just check my facebook.

basically it..but i want to do so much by aug 3 it's ridiculous. i'll post my looong to do list (for the summer) later. after that i have to devise a plan for my career. what joy...

my goal is to go to l.a. aug 5. hence getting all summer hw done by the 3rd plus extra crap.





patiently awaiting my ap scores. if i do terrible they won't be posted (just a general warning)
