    Mini-Update

    I wish my life would SSSSLLLLOOOOOWWWWW DDDDOOOOOWWWWNNNNNN!

    Feels like life is moving faster than the speed of light.... so much to do. Never seems as though there is enough time lol


    Got my MCAT scores back..... I am proud of myself especially considering the little time I was able to study. The summer program at the University of Louisville School of Medicine was a blessing. 5 weeks of my life... nothing but me and my books. I submitted my application prior to receiving my scores (yep, stepped out on faith). I am going to add a few more to the list and hopefully finish the Texas application this weekend. I originally was not going to apply to any Texas schools because their deadlines are sooooo early and I took my MCAT soooo late lol. It doesn't hurt to try. UofL is my 1st choice.... I love the atmosphere, the people, and it is close to home

    Hope to write more this weekend as a lot has been happening.

    Looking forward to digging into the new Hill Harper Book I bought from Barnes & Noble this week:

  • A little bit...

    Today I am.....

    a little bit mad

    a little bit sad

    a little bit hurt.



    No matter what you do, big or small, some people will never appreciate it. I wish some feelings I have would just die. I'm tired of feeling how I have been feeling. THIS IS SO DAMN FRUSTRATING!!! I definitely need to give dating a rest. I would like to have someone nice to spend time with, but I can't handle any sort of BS right now. I want something simple. I am developing more patience and finding comfort being alone with me (which is something sooooo important). Focusing on other endeavors and hoping that will come along when it is supposed to.

    My mom spent about 2 weeks with me here in Texas. Dropped her off at the airport earlier and she made it safely back to Ohio. My place is so quiet with it just being me now. It looks absolutely beautiful in here though.... The artwork, rugs, pillows, furniture, bed linens, etc. The only thing left to finish is to buy a chest of drawers and a tv stand for my bedroom and decorate the bathroom. It really feels like home. I am sooooo thankful to be able to stay by myself and have such a nice apartment while in college. God is soooo good.

    School starts on monday. December 19, 2009 at 9a.m. I will be walking across the stage and getting my diploma. It is so surreal. Hoping to end it with a ton of wonderful memories and a 4.0 for the semester. Looks like I will be hanging around Houston in the spring while I await to hear the outcome of the medical school application process. You only go through undergrad once. I have held back for so long but I am ready to just do me. No matter what ANYONE has to say.

    Still taking small steps to becoming a better me. Every day is a struggle but I am happy to be alive and praising God for allowing me to see every new day.

  • Wow...

    This is turning out to be a summer to remember......

    21 must be meant to be a milestone in my life in many more ways than just being able to buy alcohol or get into certain nightclubs...


    Oh.... it is much more important. I feel like the walls I have built around myself are slowly crumbling and will soon come crashing down. It is scary but exciting. I have never felt some of the things I feel..... Some of the issues and skeletons in my closest are hard to face but I will be better off handling them.

    I see myself for the first time.... I can look in the mirror and really SEE myself. Can't believe it has taken so long.... but I am grateful for it.

  • Each day gets better.....

    So today for a small part of the day... I had a pity party. Normally they last a day or two (which used to be much worse). I thought about him and got frustrated. Frustrated about how easy it is for some people to just walk away. Makes you feel as if they don't care about all the hurtful things they did to you. It really sucks and it doesn't sit well with me. And hell, if they don't care why the heck do I care so much. Sometimes there are no apologies and you have to find closure for yourself. I guess since a lot of wounds are still healing....I still feel the pain. The feeling usually passes after I remember nothing can be changed. I could've walked away a long time ago, but I didn't so I realize I played a role in some of how I feel. I gave all I had, and thats all that matters right? Finally I can laugh at the saying "If it's not broken, then don't fix it" but I add "If it's not all the way right, then walk away..." I wish him the best and hope he finds whatever he is looking for. Maybe one day we will be friends again.

    Funny thing, I always secretly hope that the guys who don't do right by me treat whoever the next person they are with with the highest amount respect and care. Everyone deserves to be happy. No man or woman should be in the business of breaking hearts..... I can only imagine how karma will play a role in their lives. I don't wish anything bad on anyone because I'm not perfect. I have noticed that the bad things we do in life have a way of manifesting themselves in a multitude of ways....ggrrrrr lol

    A few weeks/months from now it will all be a distant memory, just as every other moment in life. No matter how many times I re-play the details, nothing will change. I have a lot to look forward to. With that said i'm done with that.


    Test day is quickly approaching. Exhaustion is setting in. I find myself tired like alllllll day. I have been leaning on friends for encouragement when I can't seem to summon up enough myself...lol I don't look at the test as a burden anymore, but as something to look forward to. I've been wanting to go to med school for as long as I can remember. It is a necessary step... so I am ready to show what I know. 4 years of challenging science courses under the belt.... I can handle it. Fixing my attitude in advance so I won't sabotage myself test day.

    Excited about heading back to my apartment this weekend to finish buying furniture and decorating. My mom is staying for about 2 weeks. It will be good to spend the extra time with her. I can finally buy a TV for the living room and get the cable/internet turned on. I am soooooo blessed and glad to finally have a place of my own. These bills aren't looking too pretty though....but peace of mind is important.

    Life is looking good. I feel an even bigger change coming..... don't know what it is yet..... but I feel it deep down in my soul. My heart is open. God is filling me up more and more every day. I won't complain.

    Made some small changes to the theme/pics/page.... I like.

  • Right on Time...

    So as I was on Twitter and saw something [he] said that was made to get under my skin. As I felt the bad emotions build up... I stopped, prayed, and took a deep breath. Then I decided to log on to Blackplanet... yes I still have an account lol. I never log on though.... something made me go ahead and log in. As I added someone to my friendlist... I saw that they wrote a lot of blog entries... Here was the first one....


    Dear Blackman,

    How do you move on from a past relationship that was filled with love and hurt equally? The love that I have for my ex-boyfriend has always overpowered all the wrong he has ever done to me. I have not forgot those things and even in all his wrong- doings (cheating, lying,etc.), I do not hate him or dislike him enough to let him go. I would like to move forward with my life and do not want keep on holding on to my past. What should I do?

    The Black Man:
     Hi Stuck In Neutral,

     It is not always easy to move forward from a past relationship especially when you have so many feelings and emotions towards some one. You become attached to that person. Whenever someone has done something wrong to you no matter what type of relationship you have with that person, you are not going to forget what that person has done to you. The key is to forgive them. Forgiveness will help you move on from that situation. It creates an avenue for you to let go and be at peace with yourself. When you don't forgive you hold that anger inside of you which resonates and in most cases lashes out on individuals that had nothing to do with that circumstance. That is why some people walk around angry at the world because they have not learned to forgive. It's not attractive to have all of that anger built up inside of you. People that have that much anger are usually lonely. You can love someone but sometimes it just might not be the right situation to be in. That is when you have learn to move on. Staying in that type of relationship will not create happiness for either person. It is easier said than done to move on, but in the long run that is the best thing to do. A lot of people live in the past with certain situations in their life and that is why they don't progress. You can not change what happened in the past. You can only learn from it and move forward. It is best to live in the present. Life is about choice and you can create what you want for your life by living in the present. It is time for you to switch gears from neutral to drive and move forward in your life. There are unlimited amounts of possibilities for you in your life. Be committed in creating a happy lifestyle for yourself.


    I can tell you if this wasn't right on time, then I don't know what is lol. I may just print this out and read it out every day to remind myself that I am a child of God, fearfully and wonderfully made, that deserves to be treated with the utmost respect and love. Each day gets better and I know my blessings will overflow as I lean on the the Lord for understanding. My heart is healing and I refuse to compromise what makes me who I am for someone else. I am happy being me... imperfect yes, but blessed nonetheless.

  • Life

    My life is moving in slow motion.... not really sure where to begin or end.

    The MCAT has taken over my life.. I eat, sleep, and breathe biology, gen chem, organic chem, physics, and verbal reasoning.

    August 14th that monkey will be off my back and the waiting game will begin.....


    Sometimes I feel like a prisoner in my own mind......
