saturday was busy... first was drum lessons at 10... actually, i was supposed to have a drum lesson, but the teacher didn’t come... i mean... can somebody please get that boy my number so he can call a sista! my gosh... so i stayed there until 12 and read my book for class, cuz i knew if i left, i wouldn’t get anything done... at least it was semi-quiet there...

while i was waiting, this little boy, maybe 10 years old, came in... he takes drum lessons too... he is SOOO bad... he is just into everything and all over the place... but get this! he sees me and decides to make me a cup of coffee! random! i suspect that someone had just taught him how to use the coffee machine and it gave him an excuse to mess with an electrical appliance... the coffee tasted like dirt, but i appreciate the sentiment anyhow...

upon exiting the center, this ol' dude that covers the desk tried to talk to me! and i don't mean conversate... he goes, 'are you married?' and i'm like... what?! are you serious? i say, 'no'... he goes, 'boyfriend'... i'm thinking, 'oh Lord...' i say, 'no'... he says, 'looking for one?'... i say, 'no'... 'then i'll stop trying', he says... at least he made it easy for me...

all these dudes that i don't want have been trying to talk to me lately... what's that about?

anyways, after i left i went home to eat... i was greeted by about 10 packages from different seminaries... there is so much info and so many visits and so many applications and so much this and so much that... it’s hard not to get overwhelmed sometimes, but i just remember that it’s not my decision to make... all i have to do is get the info and stay close enough to God so that when He tells me where He wants me to go... all i have to do is say, ‘yes’...

but as i was eating some chili (i was craving because of thursday night’s mishap), i got a call from my girl, o... she and a few other of my friends from her church were helping this girl’s family out by cleaning out their house... i think she gets made fun of by the other teens cuz they’re all from semi-rich families and she’s not... so i guess they decided to help out... i stopped by and helped to scrub walls with a bleach and water solution... i mistakenly began the endeavor with large straight scrubbing motions... until i was promptly corrected by ms. ron (my girl from back in the day at my school... she has been my math tutor, gospel choir buddy, roommate, advice giver, and basically good friend... i’m one the ‘kids’ to her)... ‘small, concentrated circles!!! no one listens to me!'... but i did... and it worked, so hey...

after that i went home... and prepared to do laundry when i got the call from chi about her b-day... i’m glad i went... i enjoyed myself... even though jk chided me for not calling him about saturday (i'm supposed to be helping him... as if he needed me), he gave me a ride to and from chi’s place, and gave chi and i a ride to the thai restaurant and the pool hall... but i was tired as beans by the end of the night... when did we leave? 2am? jk was tired too... he crashed on my couch for a little while so he wouldn’t crash into something and die on the way home... hmmm... i haven’t heard from him since.....
