listening to:


I really didn't mean to spend this much time away from my blog, but once a few days went by, they turned into weeks, then months, then the next thing I knew an entire semester has passed. The passing of time, being the most salient aspect of my existence. I cannot seem to escape it when I want to, and it doesn't go by fast enough when I need it to.
Now, a review of last semester: The semester began with four hurricanes and lots of parties, At halloween, met Nappy Boy, by November, dating Nappy Boy, by December/January planning his murder. Christmas break was short and disturbed, several emotional upheavals and inventories took place. January, moved out of Kolasa and into Sage, February, life has seemed to calm down again.
Right now I haven't decided what I want Old Time to do. Whenever I imagined myself as a Senior, I pictured myself at peace with a clear future mapped out for me; entering my first year at some moderately prestigious medical school on the East coast. Now that I'm actually here, the vision ahead is different. I did not fill out a single medical school application. It wouldn't have been a good idea to, anyway, since my MCAT score and GPA aren't spectacularly extraordinary, and I didn't have $1000 laying around to pay for the applications. Medical school will always be my ultimate goal, it now seems I might be taking a bit of a detour. There is no rush anyway. I want to become a doctor badly enough that I am willing to wait as long as it takes to get there.
Aside from the small matter of what will become of me in three short months, I have a lot to look forward to in the next few weeks. In two days I will be attending my first wedding. No not my first wedding, but the wedding of a friend in my age group. She is the first of them to get married, which means, the real world is closing in on me, adult hood is becoming harder and harder to deny. I am happy and hopeful for her though, despite my many issues. Then, next weekend I am going on my first spring break every in my three years in college. Six of us are going next door to the Bahamas for five fun days of sun and cheap drinks!
Life is pretty simple these days. Somehow, I've been drama free for the past few weeks and I'm hoping it lasts for a while.
