As a result, I received a letter from my school saying that- and I quote- “Because Monique C. has failed to find a job by xx-xx-xxxx she will not be graduating.” My eyes automatically lit up like- WHAT?! Where they do that at? So I went in to see my counselor yesterday, and get some shit straight, because I was going to be damned if I stayed back because of this economies down faults. To make a long story short, my counselor linked on my ass (or went on me in front of all the staff) the minute I told her about my letter, and how my Work Study teacher has been out sick since about 2 weeks before the snow storm. I was told to just have my employer (whom I was supposed to have seen this coming Sunday) and have them fill out the information needed to go in my file.

My college of choice, you may ask? Lincoln College of Technology. It’s about an hour from my home, and they have a shuttle that will come and pick me (and another friend of mine) up from a local metro station every morning. It’s in Columbia, Maryland. You can Google it.

I was filling out papers, and signing documents, and was mailed a package of papers for financial aid. You guys wish me luck- this is the school I really wish to attend. It starts training July 02, not much of a Summer, huh? I know. But it’ll be worth it. I’m entering the program for Electronic Technology and Skilled Trades. I was told (from the rep. of the school) that it is in high demand in the electronics fields today through the US. I was also told that not a lot of women take up this study. I was very pleased to hear when the rep. that came to talk to me and my father about the school had said that she recommended me to her supervisor.

I figured that if I can take hell in a mud hole for 4 years, then why not get a nice hollow space stomped into my brain for 2 1/2 more years? It’s totally worth it you guys.

I go in to the school in two weeks to take the financial aid and scholarship test, and everything else is a blur from there. But first things first, gotta get my HS off my back. :|

So until then, I shall talk to you guys later! ♥

I love MIa’s style, her whole persona is what attracts the hype crowd. She has her mellow moments (as shown in the image to my left) and her WOW moments, where she parades around the stage in outrageously bright colors. She’s an entertainer, no doubt. Her experimental taste in music is why I chose her to be featured on the new layout. In this layout, she is portrayed as innocent, with a hidden agenda (the hot pink and light blue) of life, something that reminds me of her song “Bucky Dun Gun”. Sometimes, when I’m bored, I would put on my bright pajamas (yes, I still wear pajamas) and dance to her music. Weird, I know, but there’s nothing like being in the confines of your own room, being able to do whatever you please. At least I know that I don’t risk the troubles of being judged for the things I do lol. So back to the pajama party. Sometimes me and my sister would both imitate MIA and Santogold in their song “Get It Up”. I, of course, would be Santogold (she’s one of my idols) and my sister would be MIA. We would use her hair brushes as microphones, and stand in front of my big mirror. She would wear her red shades, and I would have on my thick black hoodie that zips up in the front all the way to the head. We try to look like this(click). We fail miserably, but it’s fun. We get a good laugh, then afterwords take some pictures. I love my little sister, she keeps me laughing. ♥

Saturday night, it snowed. Then today, we had a 2 hour delay. I stayed home, and was forced to deal with the constant verbal attacks from my dad. If I weren’t mistaken, I’d swear that my father was actually losing his mind. But then again that’s my dad, and I’m quite sure he’s been this way all of his life. From the stories that my Aunt and Uncle’s would tell me, my dad was a funny guy. I love him none the less, though.

So tomorrow, I hope that my Work Study teacher is back in school. After hearing that my English teacher would not be returning (having just lost her husband over Thanksgiving Break) I was hoping that she would come back. Our new teacher is outgoing, no doubt, but a little lose at the top of the head. My work study teacher was complaining that her kidney’s were hurting, and hasn’t been back to school since week before last. I really hope she’s doing alright.

So as I close this update, I’d like to inform everyone of my new forum that I actually plan on keeping. The name: OK GO. You can click the Ad above this blog or the banner below to view; please join and spread the word! The more, the merrier.

Affiliates clean sweep- If you no longer see your link, then it’s done. We’re not affiliates anymore.
Gallery layout changed- featuring Chrisette Michelle and her sexy alter ego. Beautiful.
New Year’s resolution- just one for now: focus on school and stop worrying about the negative.
Changes in life- none. I still talk to the same people, they haven’t changed so why should I? Good friends are hard to come by nowadays.
School- I’m out in five months! Who’s coming to my graduation? Lol.
Sub domains- nice little clean sweep, if your site no longer works then you know why.
Christmas gifts- shoes, clothes, iPod Nano, and a new video game.
My home life- blahh, could be better, but what the heck. Same ol’ everyday, just lower outside temperatures. Lol.

One thing I like about the iPod nano, is that it has a video recorder. Before I left for break, I made a video of my mom, brother, and me. I would post it but mom is still a little frantic about who I let view our personal life. Lol. Also, if anyone has fan sites that they would wish to affiliate with me, I’m accepting all. No matter the host. That’s it for now!
