Famous Last Words-MCR

I am not afraid to keep on living

I am not afraid to walk this world alone.

Honey, if you stay, you'll be forgiven.

Nothing you can say can stop me going home.

Bob Marley speaks the truth

He’s not perfect. You aren’t either, and the two of you will never be perfect. But if he can make you laugh at least once, causes you to think twice, and if he admits to being human and making mistakes, hold onto him and give him the most you can. He isn’t going to quote poetry. He’s not thinking about you every moment, but he will give you a part of him that he knows you could break. Don’t hurt him, don’t change him, and don’t expect more than he can give. Don’t analyze. Smile when he makes you happy, yell when he makes you mad, and miss him when he’s not there. Love hard when there is love to be had. Because perfect guys don’t exist, but there’s always one guy who is perfect for you. ~Bob Marley

A sailor went to sea sea sea...

So! I havent blogged in AGES, but I thought of an idea.

I could just blog about sailing since that is what is preventing me from blogging most of the time.

I'm also thinking of video blogging too on my youtube account and I'll link the videos.

This weekend, the team and I are in Fredricksburg for a regatta sponsored by UVA at Lake Anna.

We went out for mexican food, which was actually nice, I didnt know it would taste so great! :)

Apparently, we have a tropicalstorm passing through and the weather is meant to be windy && rainy! Not siked for that, but wish me luck! Hopefully we'll win. More updates soon! xox

Just gimme the light.

Nothing in life that I can't acheive

First things first:

Check out Basshunter's Boombox , friggin AHMAZING song.

Playing it every second.

Second things second:

School started yesterday , so I officially have no life. Between my 8 classes, my lab sessions, work, dance and sailing , I wont be able to have a personal life (not like I had one before)

I also apparently have to do study hall, which is 6 hours a week of mandatory study in the Holland Hall Athletic study center. NOT COOL.

Regatta at ODU this Saturday, might not go .

Might just go for Eid celebrations in Maryland.

we shall see, will keep you updated.

Finally here..

I m sooo sorry that I havent updated my blog,

I've been pretty occupied with moving here but now Im pretty much settled and can write in my blog.

Right now, im in richmond Virginia, 2 hours away from my school , to visit my dad for the labor day weekend.

there isnt much to do in this town, but to eat, I kid you not.

there are like 10000 restaurants and nothing else.

I wanted to kayak , but apparently there is some long procedure that you have to go through

to get that done

so im here on vacation, being online. BORING.

hopefully something will happen today cause Im going back home tonight,

so well see!

Ill put up some pictures in my next post.

ALSO ,

happy birthday to a special someone who I wish was here right now! love you and again , Happy bday xooxoxoxo

You are my daily meal

Sometimes I feel like throwing my hands up in the air.

I know I can count on you.

Sometimes I feel like saying "Lord I just don't care"

But you've got the love I need to see me through.

Keeping the faith, you make me stronger. So glad that I finally found you.

I don't like fasting and being a gym instuctor all at one time.

I felt like stealing a bottle of water out of a child's hands today,

due to my unquenched thirst.

On the plus side, I'm getting rock hard abs.

On the down side, I feel my abs are starting to look like a mans'

What I've Done

Funnily enough, for once in my life ,
Ive done nothing.
My best friend Merna is angry at me for not going to Gambia
when it was completely out of my control.
Guaranteed that I mixed up the dates, but I still planned on going to Gambia for
the Valentine's weekend.
But my mother was busy on call, so I couldn't inform her that I was coming and needed her to send me some extra cash.
I couldn't borrowed money from one of my friends, but I REALLY hate borrowing abnormally large amounts , so that wasn't even going to be an option. Oh well. Hopefully she'll let it go.

On the other hand, I'm getting SWAMPED with work!
Lets check the list, shall we?

1. I have a 2-day forum to represent my school at that starts tomorrow
2. I have to prepare my exhibition for Suriname for International Day
3. I have to get all my stuff prepared for me to transfer to VCU, and pray alot to get accepted.
4. Oops. Coffee House in a few weeks. All that planning.
5. Spring Break plans to Gambia for my friends that leave end of this week.
6. Spring plans FOR MYSELF to leave on the 13th of March.
7. Homework , Homework. Let's not all forget that im in Dakar for a reason.
8. Du Jardin's class tomorrow. Enough said.

Despite all of that, I have decided just a few seconds ago that I wont let anything bring down my mood! 2010, new year! Almost ending , from where I'm standing! Gotta make it the best. :)

WhyEssEmm

Its been a while...

Im laughing at the amount that I DON'T write in my blog.

This is getting ridikulouuuus. I actually feel kind of bad for not doing it.

I ALSO FEEL BAD CAUSE ALOO RAGWAR IS MAKING ME WAIT FOR HER TO DO HER DAMN PAPER.

Thats how bad it is, im so mad I had to blog about it.

Don t you hate waiting for people?

I think I just hate people in general anyway , just kidding. Kind of.

I really want to go to Gambia but like all of my friends are either going a week before or a week after

I cant imagine my bad luck.

We had to cancel drama club meeting today and my friend Bineta and I were supposed to go to the studio to work on her song, but I ended up just chilling on campus cause I'm ridiculously lazy and feel like going anywhere except my room is a challenge.

Maybe Ill be better soon and learn to not be as lazy. :/

I have a few more hours waiting for aloo to finish, so i might blog a bit more later.
