As lame as this sounds, it really sucks when your own friends forget your birthday. I’ve never made it such a big deal, but for some reason this year I’m just upset I guess. I know giving is better than receiving, but shit, I stay up and I get excited and I may not throw a huge bash, but I show my friends that I care and I remember. I’m not asking for material gifts, I’m just asking for a simple birthday greeting. Is that too much to ask for? I cannot express how thankful I am for a friend like Hortance. She sent me a 12:00 sharp text on Friday morning. She’s so faithful despite our distance and few arguments.

I don’t know, the entire week leading up to my birthday was just hell, so it would’ve been nice to get early birthday greetings from friends, letting me know they didn’t find out from Facebook or other means; letting me know they actually remembered on their own like I remember theirs.

Whatever, it is what it is. Overall, my birthday was great and I spent it with the people that really matter: my family. I know I can always count on them. 

I recently got my finally grades and I am so thankful. I passed all of my classes with the lowest grade being a C. I honestly feel like I don’t deserve it, but I am so happy and thankful! I love my English professor. I ended up turning in 2 out of 4 essays and he gave me a C for the whole semester. THANK GOD. Now I can focus on other things such as work and my math summer class. During the fall I’m planning on loading up on classes because I need to finish asap and move on to whichever school I decide to go to next. I’ve been contemplating changing my major, but I still feel like I should think about it. Pft, anyway, I’ve been busy all week and last. I worked 11 hour shifts last week and this week I’m working almost 10 hours a day. Today I found out I’m getting my wisdom teeth taken out next Tuesday which means I’ll be missing work for an entire week, so I have to work all I can now to get that juicy paycheck. On the down side, I’ll be looking like a chipmunk on my birthday next Friday :( 

But thank God for a blessed start to my summer. 

Trying to come up with ideas for this year’s Mother’s Day. I want to make it extra special for my mommy. Hm, what to do? 

Here I am thinking how it’s possible for me to have just done absolutely nothing this whole semester. I’m probably the biggest procrastinator in the world, and it has come to the point where I feel disgusted in myself. I had only four essays that I had to write for English this whole semester. They were assigned on the very first day of class (4 months ago) and three days before they are due I am sitting here struggling with the first sentence. I’m so disappointed in myself. 

Wow! Where to start? 

Well, for starters, it’s been a while since I’ve last blogged. I’ve been pretty busy with school and work, and I’ve had so much side things going on. I currently have so much school work to get done it’s ridiculous! Two more weeks and then I’m free. I’ll be done with school until August! I have so many plans for this summer. But anyway, what I really wanted to blog about was a concert I went to last Thursday. I went to a DEV and Outasight concert in DC and it was fucking awesome! When I first bought the tickets I almost didn’t go because I didn’t want to drive all the way to DC and go through the trouble of finding a parking space (which is a bitch in DC), and aside from that I had heard that the area in which the concert was was a little dangerous, but in the end it all ended up working out. My friend’s brother ended up taking us. 

So the concert was inside the Rock and Roll Hotel on H Street. It’s supposed to be a nightclub/concert venue but it didn’t look like one at all! I was surprised to see that there was no line. Once we got inside, we realized we were early so we waited upstairs in the bar area until around 7:30 when more people started coming in. That’s when we decided to go downstairs to the stage area and we waited until around 8:10 when the show finally started. The BEST part wast that we were in the front row because we had gotten there early. The first performers were some guys from Philly named OCD. They came out rapping and at first it was confusing because we were all like “WTF that’s not DEV!” But they rapped like 6 songs and then left. THEN, Outasight came out! I was so excited and nervous and aaaaah! I felt high the whole time he was performing, and at one point we made eye contact and he stared deeply into my eyes and it was amazing! We got to hear his new single (that was unreleased at the time) and at the very end he sang “Tonight is the Night.” Unfortunately I didn’t get to meet him because I was too young to be in the bar area where he was supposed to show up, but I was just so happy to be there. Finally, DEV came out. I was so surprised to see how beautiful she was (even more) in person. She was super nice and so chill. She drank her beer while singing and really made us feel the music. I looked around me every now and then and people had their eyes closed and were really getting into it. 

It was such a great experience. It’s probably the most fun I’ve had in a while and I’m so glad I got to spend that time with my friends as well! 

 I’m feeling this new kind of high and it’s so weird because just last night I realized how much crap I have to do for school, and how much of a dumb ass I am for procrastinating so much. I don’t know! Maybe it’s the fact that I’m understanding math right now and feel super smart, or the fact that I’m being productive right now. I’m getting my shit together this week. NO MORE BULLSHIT, and I’m going to start planning for all the fun summer things I’m doing with my friends!
