G(r)O(w)ing... An Update

These last few weeks or so have been interesting to say the least, but I figured I'd update you on what's going on personally with me before I start waxing my usual philosophical.

This week was kinda rough: I missed class twice (on the last week of school). Granted, today, I was trying to show up late since I had to finish my paper due today. I managed to arrive just in time... for the Course Instructor Surveys. Ooooh boy... Lesson learned: procrastination is only fun for so long. I guess I really can't keep doing things at the last minute to the point where I'm caught in a hard place when the last minute's up. At least the paper's turned in, and I have my final journal conference for tomorrow... we're striving for a 'A,' but in light of today's absence, I'll all too gladly take a 'B.'

I had to miss work the same day I had class due to a stomach virus. That's either Wendy's or the campus cafeteria's fault... nonetheless, I was out of a decent four hours added to my paycheck, but I won't complain. Jamba's giving me 14 hours to make up for my loss this weekend, so I look forward to next Thursday's paycheck for real, if for nothing else than to get in a little self-indulgence: going to see the IMAX Version of The Dark Knight, and most definitely I have full intentions of getting up on Jean Grae's 2008 re-release of The Jeanius Album. (This will be the first legit album I buy since I copped Lupe's "The Cool"... Nas's "Untitled" might join that group).
I decided to make it happen and do lunch with the Nigerian Unicorn. She had me critique her personal statement for medical school, which was pretty damned good, by the way. Her essay just reminded me of how much substance there is to her and what she does and is trying to do with her life, and reaffirmed how I felt about her. I got caught up a bit with her life and brought her to speed a bit with mine. And I think I'm going to back down from telling her in a letter and may just tell her face-to-face, in person, at the end of July. I'm waiting until the end of the month so that we way we still have an opportunity to hang together once or twice before I drop my words (and hence, so my words/feelings won't come off too 'out-of-nowhere').

Oh, and I found out today that I can't cash my grandmother's check. Damn... that's $50 I never got to enjoy. Dah welp, just means the haircut will have to be pushed back to Thursday. Here's hoping I don't have an exorbitant electric bill to pay lol...
