Needless to say, it's been an amazing summer. Well, I am as broke as a joke, but that won't change until I am out of college, so I am not worried too much about it. :)
I met this wonderful guy named Tim. He is literally the sweetest man in the world and I think I have met my equal and it's amazingly easily to say as much.
Good news about my classes is that I passed with an A and a B. Which is amazing for me.
I have a friend that has been staying in and out of my house and she is pretty cool so we're having a blast with that.
That's all for now.

Biking & Classes
Every time I see an adult on a bicycle, I no longer despair for the future of the human race. -H. G. Wells
I love that quote. Sehara and I go bike riding quite often and I love it. It's about the only activity I can tolerate doing with her for extended amounts of time. We have about two or three separate paths that we can choose to take. Either we go down Ellipse street and turn on the main road, which has a bike path, go down that until the train tracks, turn around and find the park path and make a big circle through that, end back up on Ellipse and get home. OR we go up Ellipse street to campus and ride like crazy on the quad. There are a few more random paths we have taken: like around the blocks near our house or going farther than the tracks.
Currently, I don't have my own bike, though I hope to get one soon.
On a newer note, I got pretty good grades this semester, meaning I didn't fail any classes. I am so content, I just need to finish up one class, 410, I got an incomplete because of my paper. Obviously, writing has never been my strong point.
Anyway, this is what I have for now. Peace out.

Dreama's Graduation
DREAMA YOU ROCK MY SOCKS..Congratulations girlfriend. You truly inspire me to keep going. I don't know how you have done it (and I'm sure I could give a few guesses) but you have! And that's so stinking awesome.
Sunday was graduation, and not only did Dreama graduate, Ebony did as well. I love Ebony's humor, haha. There is no one like these girls, for sure, so you'll surely be missed. I honestly can't imagine a Berea without you two. I think I'm still waiting for Ebony to come back and I know I am definitely dreading Dreama moving. However, Just like all my earlier blogs, I understand that friends will move on. :) Oh, and even though this isn't the best picture, it is obvious that the dress was absolutely smashing on her. I love it so much.
This cake was actually good..

Wrapping It Up
I am very much pleased right now with my Major courses coming to a close. I passed both of them, finished my exams, and finished my 410 paper. I am not sure if I will pass my two non-major courses though. I do hope to be able to so I don't have to take them again.
AND with the end of the semester comes friends who make their way down another path. Like, leaving me, but it's ok because I expect it to happen.
OH, and I am so stinking excited about the new twilight movie coming out this summer. Ugh, I cannot wait!!!
But, the biggest thought on my mind recently has been religion. I chatted with a friend last night and he certainly gave me some things to ponder- based off how I feel. Sometimes, you just need an outside perspective reiterating what you've said. It helps you dissect the conversational thought.

Top Chef
I spent a good portion of the last hour trying to figure out what it means to be a good chef.
Trivial stuff to me, considering the best I can do is bake, but I really put some effort into it.
I have figured out the most important quality a chef can have: cleanliness. I wonder if that makes sense? I was making tuna salad, and if you have ever made it with a ton of ingredients, it can get really messy. So, while I'm cleaning these little messes as I make them, I can't help but think about all the people in my life that I have thought were good cooks, until they started making their dishes and left the kitchen a disaster. How can anyone enjoy a meal with a mess they KNOW they're going to have to clean up eventually? I know I can't.
And here's the real kicker: literally, the only person I can think of (mind you, a chef has to make a delicious dish too) that can cook a little piece of heaven and leaves no mess is my dad. And I have gone through a list of just about everyone in my head. My daddy and I don't always see eye-to-eye, but at least I can say that I learned how to clean up after myself from him. It's kind of funny to think about too. What you resent most about your parent is what you value most as an adult.
So, to reiterate, the most important quality of a chef, to me, besides the actual ability to cook, is how clean they are, while the masterpiece is cooking.
If you really think about it, and hopefully someone out there does, how many great chef's do you know?

I'm alive, I promise.
No good news to share, unless the fact that I'm alive counts. And I would hope it would!!
My daily activities leave me exhausted nearly everyday. Some days that's good, some not so much, but I refuse to complain at this point. I am taking it one day at a time.
I can't decide on a Grad school to consider. I don't know what I still want to do with my life. I do believe I need some experience in the real world first. I think I'll start at the Y or somewhere close to.
Little one is doing well. She is kind of funny now. I am constantly amused at the little things she does (not including the bossy attitude). I want to take her to the Children's museum this weekend. We shall see how it plays out.

My motor behavior class is completely pointless. All I have learned, and this class happens five hours a week- not including the time spent reading crap, is that:
1. I have no career goals in common with my peers,
2. I know nothing about sports,
3. The teacher literally thinks I am slow in the head, really,
4. And that motor behavior across lifespans is, apparently, important. I don't know why though.
I've learned a lot, huh!?
The only good thing about that class is the teacher is Fine.
Today is the last day before spring break. Haha, my logic professor despises spring break. He kept calling it stupid in class today, because we'll be out of practice in our symbolic logic. Then he realized he was saying stupid too much and told us he was going to stop saying stupid now. He is just the funniest thing. I think when this semester is over, I may possibly miss his face.
Oh my. But I guess I should point out that I have done so many extra things this semester. I have gone to many birthday parties, and even helped supervise one (a sweet 16). I have seen a ton of movies, worked by booty off (labor position), attended a week long convention, spent many many hours poured over homework, gone to dinners, church, etc...
:) I just got distracted by a fellow student, and I've lost my thought pattern.
Hopefully I will remember to update this more often.

Senior Celebration
Whoa there!
I found out today that I am a SENIOR! How frickin cool is that, and totally blog worthy.
Christina, Dreama and I decided to eat cupcakes and hang around for celebration. What better way to celebrate Seniorness?
When I found out, I first called my mom, who flipped out. :) Made me so happy. Then I tried calling Crystal, but she didn't answer so I texted my friend Matthew. (Who thought I was already one so wasn't excited at first).
I have some newer pictures. I got stressed the other day and decided to play with my makeup.
It looked good so I took a picture. Well, a few pictures. Here's a hottt one:
Just Kidding!!! Here it is:
It looks so different from others, it's ok. I've taken better, but the makeup is pretty to me. :)
And for the long awaited class update (because you know it was coming). It's short term here. One class, one month. ALL month. You feel everyday of the month. I'm taking Biblical Themes: Modern Life. Don't judge me! I needed a religion perspective, and at this point I'm not going to get picky.
And I have learned so much about "the historical Jesus' compared to 'the Jesus of faith'. Interesting subject, if you ask me. I'm still trying to wrap my head around it though.
BUT, I need to teach myself a little African Jesus now, so I'm checking out!
Peace.
