first things first i'm the realest

Wow, it's almost been a year since I've posted anything here that's a little cray.

Well where do I start. On friday the 5th that made two years since I permed my hair! So I'm two years post relaxer and a year fully natural so thats pretty exciting.

I also started working and have finished my first month there. so far and sadly, I kind of hate it and want to start looking for something else. Maybe it was the lack of training, the way that I wasnt told important information about my position and pay, or how they just take advantage of you with hours. Who knows.

Everything else is going well though. School is going. My sister just graduated high school and my brother elementary so thats exciting.

Wow it's beem a while

No one has posted on here in a minute, I almost forgot about it hahaha. Well to anyone besides my sistas that reads this here's the tea. By December I'm finally going to be at Sophmore status in school so I'm right where I wanted to be at this point, I've moved to a new place, and I'm still unemployed -.-

Besides those things, there still isnt much going on with me lol

tata for now

Update

Heyy to anyone that's reading this besides winnie and bee. Just wanted to say what Ive been up to lately even though it really isn't much of anything haha. Well I finished my second session of school (I was taking math) and I did absolutely great! I ended my class with a 94! Ive never had an A in a math class in all of my years of being in school so I'm super happy.

Also my lucky week started with me getting a call from an employer to come for an interview for a job I applied for 2 weeks ago. Ill keep you guys posted on how that goes.

Tata for nowwww

1 year down!

June 5 made one year since I have been transitioning back to my natural hair y'all! And it was also a year since the 3 of us have graduated from high school but anyways, I cant believe that I have made it this far in my journey. The next step is to figure out what I am going to do with it. Do I keep transitiong a little longer? Or do I just chop off the permed ends now!? I think Im going to wait a little longer and get some braids done.


Thats all folks!
-Dee

Now

permed

I whip my hair back and forth!

Okay guys, so I decided to straighten my hair since I havent in a while. Ive really been trying not to and Ive been quite successful in that. I took a before photo with it just blow dried and an after one of it straightened.

WARNING! I might scare y'all with the first pic of my hair so I warned you lol and the quality of them isnt that good because my webcam kinda sucks but idc idc.

-Dee

11 months!!

I got some exciting news for y'all. I've been transitioning for 11 months today! Just thought I'd share how my journey to natural hair is going.

I would post a photo but see what had happened was I decided to deep condition my hair and unless you want to see me in a plastic cap then yeah its not gonna happen. I plan on straightening it tmrw so I'll most likely post a picture then.

The Results Are In!

I finally got my grades back for my two classes this session and I am glad to say that I got an A in both!! Im really happy that I earned the grades that I did because I  worked very hard.

I really think leaving Florida State was the best decision that I could have made. I really proved to myself that once I set my mind to achieving something, I could really do it. And I know that all of the support that I have from my family and these two ladies also pushed me to be the best that I can be.

This session Im taking math, lets all take a moment to pray that the lord is on my side in this class because Im really going to need it!



- Dee

I'm freee!

Yesterday I finished my one and only final so that means I am officially done with my first session! Now its time to just sit back and wait until the grades come out to see how i did.

Just wanna say good luck to any of you reading this who have finals this week and next!

peace out
-Dee

it's week 7 ya bish!

I made it y'all. I survived through my first session of online classes. This is my last real week of doing graded discussions and assignments. Next week I have one final and a power point project due and I am free! Well I only have a week off so its not like I get to see anyone because all other universities have finals the week I'm off so yeah. Then I start class again on May 6 and I'm taking math -____- I am really going to need jesus on my side during this course.

Well just wanted to let you all know how I was doing.

tata for now!
-Dee

1 week down, 7 more to go

I made it through my first week of classes y'all. Well its not my first time obviously but my first time doing online classes. Anyways, this first 8 week session, I'm taking two classes, critical thinking and a computer class. I can already tell that this computer class is really going to work all of my nerves but I know I can get through it.

Just wanted to give an update to whoever has been keeping up with me besides Windel and Bianca. So here it is!

dueces,

Wedding pictues

Sharina and Antonio's wedding was very nice this weekend. Sharina had told me that she hadn't invited many people, and it was true. The ceremony was very intimate and the closest friends and family were there. The ceremony was supposed to start at 2pm but of course because it was Sharina it didnt start unitl about 245 lol.

I promised you guys some photos so here they are. I thought I'd have one of me to post but I actually did not take any photos -.-

My friends Selin, Mateo, and Alex

Sharina and her Mom & Dad

Bride and Groom

Antonio's friend putting the garter on him blindfolded lol

the wedding bells are ringing y'all

So 2 days ago a girl that I've been friends with since the 5th grade sent me a text telling me that she was getting married this sunday and that she wanted me to be there. I never thought that I'd be going to a friends wedding this soon but hey, I guess it can happen.

I remember in middle school when my friend and two of our other close friends would joke about which one of us we thought was going to get married first and I knew I was right when I said her lol.

I just hope everything runs smoothly and we dont have any problems because I really dont want to have to put anyone on worldstar. Ill post pictures from the wedding either when I get home on sunday or monday the latest.

your royal thickness,

Reading Is Key

       So Ive been reading this book called Triangles by Ellen Hopkins. Its about 3 women and the troubles they face in their lives. One has a disabled daughter, the other has a gay son, and the last is cheating on her husband. Its pretty good. But anyways, at the end of each section, she has a poem that talks about the main theme in that section. This was the one that I just came across. I liked it alot because this made me think about the friendship that I have with Bianca and Windel. I really cherish them alot and I know that we are going to be friends until death do us part #ppctilidie

much <3,

                                 A FRIEND

Is a wellspring

of understanding.

A catch basin for grimy

little secrets that can

scarcely be voiced.

                                                  

                                                  A friend

holds the tissue

box when you splinter.

Accepts confession, and yet

                                                   

                                                  won’t

demand details,

regardless of perceived

juiciness, too intimate to

confide. A friend is never too

                                                   

                                                   cross

to commiserate.

Never too busy to

pull up a chair. Never so

                                                  

                                                   certain

about an outcome

as to insist you’ve made

a mistake. A friend is never

so unclear about a definition

of friendship as to straddle its

                                                 

                                                   boundries.

We Survived Y'all

Wow. January 1st, 2013. I cant believe how fast 2012 flew by. A lot happened to me in 2012 good and bad. I graduated high school, went to college and made some new friends that I know I'll have forever, lost a dear friend and dog, got to live in a new city, and I made memories that I'll cherish for life. One thing that 2012 taught me is that I need to learn to do things for myself and not others. I have to make choices that'll benefit me in the long run. And that is what 2013 is going to be about for me. Doing what is going to make me happy and help me be successful. I could definitely say 2012 was one of the best years of my life so far, lets see what 2013 has in store for me. I have the feeling that it'll be even better.

<3 always,

Should I Stay, Or Should I Go?

My mom and I were talking earlier and she asked me if I thought about coming home (Miami) and going to school there because she doesn't feel like I'm happy here. It really got me thinking because I have thought about transferring schools because I think deep down I'm truly not happy here (Tallahassee). But I don't want to go home because then Ill feel like Ive given up. And then there are my friends that I have here, I really don't want to leave them. But I do have to focus on me and whats going to make me happy, I definitely have to sit and reevaluate my life.

ITS NOT EVEN MY BIRTHDAY!

I will be 19 in 5 days. Thats great and all, but whats so good about being 19? That has to be the most awkward age there is. Turning 17 was pretty awkward also but at least at 17 you're able to watch rated R movies alone. What do you get to do at 19 that you weren't able to do at 18? Absolutely nothing. At least we're  a year closer to 20, because then you'e no longer a teen. That's when it REALLY gets real. I just wish I didn't have to spend my birthday up here in boring ass tallanasty, I don't even think Im going to do anything but eat dinner on campus with my friends. Thank god I'm leaving on the tuesday after to come home for thanksgiving break, maybe I can turn up a little with my girls when we all get home.

It's Been A Long Time Coming

Its been a while since anyone has posted on here, but hey thats what college does to you. I saw this on a this girls blog the other day and I liked it, so I wanted to share it.

If ever there was a time to dare to make a difference,

to embark on something worth doing, it is now.

Not for any grand cause necessarily -

but for something that tugs at your heart,

something that’s your aspiration,

something that’s your dream.

You owe it to yourself to make your days count.

Have fun. Dig deep. Stretch. Dream big.

Know though, that things worth doing seldom come easily.

There will be good days. And there will be bad days.

There will be times when you want to turn around,

pack it up, and call it quits.

Those times tell you that you are pushing yourself,

that you are not afraid to learn by trying.

Persist.

Because with an idea, determination.

And the right tools, you can do great things.

Let your instincts, your intellect,

and your heart guide you.

Trust.

Believe in the incredible power of the human mind.

Of doing something that makes a difference.

Of working hard. Of laughing and hoping.

Of lazy afternoons. Of lasting friends.

Of all the things that cross your path this year.

The start of something new

brings the hope of something great.

Anything is possible.

There is only one you.

And you will pass this way only once.

Do it right. Just do it!

enjoy.

The College Struggle Is REAL!

So it wasn't until these past couple of days that I noticed how hard it is not having money in college. Classes just started on Monday and I've been on campus since Friday. For the past 6 days just to eat has been a struggle. My mom bought me frozen meals before she left back to Miami, but those just weren't enough! And the dorm that I'm in requires us to have a meal plan, which the lowest one only costs $1900 PLUS a $350 down payment. What the ef, how is anyone supposed to afford that when they 1. barely get financial aid and 2. don't have that kind of money sitting in their bank accounts? You aren't. It wasn't until today that I went over to the dining office and spoke to these people about not being able to afford this. That's when the cute little gay guy told me he liked my earrings and said "Don't worry honey, we'll get this all worked out for you." I've never been happier to eat in the dining hall then I was tonight.

SN: I need to find a job because this whole college thing is no joke


Love always,

Deebayyy
