Week 10

This past week was entirely too busy, but I'm thankful I made it through. Only two finals next week, a paper and than I have a short break. Well actually I won't have any break because I will be spending my time working on my senior project. I'm really excited...I'm creating a documentary on the communication style of African American women over the past 100 years. I'm also a bit nervous because I have never done anything like this before and I want it to be a great piece of history. I must say even though I had a busy week, I think I smiled more than I have smiled in a long time during this past week. I really have the greatest support system. Last Saturday my dad, mom and little sister came up to Philly for the gospel choir's 27th anniversary, I haven't seen them since December so it was wonderful to see them. I was told that I had a huge smile on my face all night...and that is surprising because I was really upset because of the lack of organization we were experiencing dealing with the concert. But anyways, being around family and friends always brings me joy. So many of my people came out to support us at the concert and that was so overwhelming. I received so much love, hugs and congrats that evening...I was pumped for days. This past week I have been on my grind, but even in that I had to find time for a little bit of fun. Er and I went to the 5spot on Wednesday night and had a great time, listening to live music, dancing and chilling with some people. But wow...I could barely get up for my 8am class on Thursday...but of course I was on time, on task and on that mission to learn. I'm really feel some joy right now...getting to know new people, new experiences...and my boys Dre and Tex will be back at the end of the month (the joy I feel about their return can not be expressed in words!!!!) Nobody can bring me down from this high!!! I'm so high on life and so thankful to be living, learning and loving.
