First Week of Classes at Famu
Day 13
Okay ya'll I'll brief you on my first week of classes a lil later but Ihave to get this out of the way first.
This morning I was chillen in my bed after a loong night of partying and my friend was chillen in my room on here laptop. While I lay pondering my day with my eyes closed she started to blast a cd that i was pretty familiar with, Stone Love by the artist Angie Stone. The music automatically made me think about another Angie in my life...my mommy. Yall I'm finally sayin it....I MISS MY MOMMA!!! I miss cryin laughing with her, I miss cruising on the street listing to music (i.e. Angie Stone), I miss laughing at or getting freaked out by weird ohio people, I miss cooking for her (even If it wasn't exactly what she wanted), I miss sleeping in her GREAT bed, I miss watching T.V. with her, I miss watching bootlegs with her, I miss going to Easton mall with her and laughing at the little whit kids, I miss soo much about my mom I could go on forever I'm actually not really homesick but I'm definately Momsick. So again I will fill yall in on my classes later but i had to get that out. Mommy I'm coming home! Well in my mind.
Missing Mommy,

No more drama ....I wish!!!
Day 6 at FAMU
Freshman Week
Okay so its Friday, and you think I would be happy because my dad is bringing my things tommorrow...Well I'm not, because he's not. And agian I knew this would happen. This is "my life in the sunshine" as my mom would say. So as he proceeded to tell me that my things might not arrive as late as next Wednesday I told him, "Well I'm gonna need some more money because I was under the impression that my stuff would be here by now!" This negro had the audacity to ask me what I neended it for! I just wanted to scream over the phone "I NEED MY EFFING SHIT!!" I have classes next week I need my school supplies and all of that stuff. This is just crazy all I can say Is ...Why ME!!!
About to have a nervous breakdown,

Fabolous FAMU
Day4 at FAMU
Freshman Week
The rapper Fabolous said it best, "1 And Then The Two Three And The Four Then Ya Gotta Breathe."
Sometimes you just gotta exhale and let the chips fall. Yep I'm Miss. Optomistic today because things are finally looking up (a lil bit). I'm slowly but surely getting this financial aid thing together. Basically I am gonna have to take out a loan. But at least I know now that next fall I'll be ready with some good ol' scholarships. I took my placement tests to day I think I did pretty good on my Math but Chemisty was horrible I saw so many things on that test that I'd never seen before in my life...It just really scared the hell out of me because I DO NOT wanna take prep classes that I cant even get any credit for if I failed that test. But again i'm gonna be optimistic and not sweat it.
Did I mention I attended my first Frat party!!! It was hosted by the Q's (Q dogs I know yall know who im talkin about) for all the freshman. And boy was it...interesting...the Q's are very...hmmm I'm looking for the right word lets go with testosterone overdose!!! But it was really fun Ididn't drink (foreal yall no lie) and i got to meet some cool people so it was all good. But the only down side was that I was tired as hell for orientation today. Oh well life goes on. I'm bout to get outta here cause i am a broke college student who loves the free buffet at the college cafe enough said.
Turnin my frown...sideways,

Money Money Money
3rd Day at FAMU
Freshman Week
Right now I am a broke freshman. Not just a regular broke freshman but a broke freshman thats can't even afford to be IN SCHOOL. I just found out that out of the ten thousand something dollars I have to pay this semester I have only recieved a little over 4,000 dollars from the government. Three words WHAT THE HEEEELLLL!!! I am in no way rich AT ALL the only one who has been supporting these past years is my mother, she doesn't make that much at all plus she is also attending college so how in the hell is that all that I'm getting from this dumb ass Fafsa bologna? Right now I just wanna go back to New Orleans/Columbus and get my fat butt back in bed(preferably the fetal position) and wait until its all taken care of by some invisible force.
So now I have to take out loans...I really don't know If I'm doing that right to begin with. Plus I don't want to have to pay that damn money back EVER.But this is what it is and I'm just gonna have to stick it out hopefully financial aid will be alot more helpful when I go back because they sucked the first. I don't even know what exact questions to ask these people. My brain is just scrambbled and going at a thousand miles a minute. So to keep me from letting out a gigantic frantic scream in the middle of this library I am writting this all down. Maybe this will clear my mind a bit, if not..that person you hear screaming in the distance somewhere, far off but you know you can hear it......it's me.
Crying Broke(literally) ,

I love my FAM fam!!!
3rd Day at FAMU
Freshman Week
OMG So much to say....I flew to Tallhassee, Fl with three heavy ass suitcases and rode a taxi all the way to campus BY MYSELF.... Why? You ask? Well because my father's truck broke down...Yep completely stopped a day before he was supposed to take me and my things to FAMU...Sucks monkey butt doesn't it.... Well long story short I made it here and my things will be brought up by my father Saturday( Hopefully). I have MANY things to say about this whole little "situation" but i would be typing until I graduated. So we'll leave it at...I'm here. So how about we make this easy and go over some points I'm sure you wanna know about:
Campus?
Campus is beautiful...It's actually better then I thought it would be...There are lots of nice places to chill(even a bowling ally) There is also this main part of campus everybody hangs out at called the set its always poppin there
My Dorm room/hall:
Wheatley hall is not the best of them all but its definately not the worst its basically pretty clean (except for at night when the bugs come out eeekkk!). The girls in the hall are nice and everbody speaks. My room is great its bigger then I thought it would be and me and my roomate have just enough space to not have to kill eachother over lol. So i think I'll be okay.
My Roomate:
My roomate (we'll call here Lilbit) is really sweet and nice. But its so funny to see us walking together because she is 3 times smaller then me(seriously i can see right over her head lol). But she is cool and she shares lol which is great for me since I have barely anything until next week. So so far so good...I'll keep you up dated on how we get along.
People?
Again EVERYONE is sooo friendly...I think its because its the beginning of the year and everybody is happy to be here hopefully it will last...
Classes?
I don't know my schedule yet but I'll keep ya posted.
Food?
I have a pretty cool meal plan 12 meals a week(2 meals Mon-Fri 1 meal Sat-Sun) and $225 dollars in Flex bucks wich i can use a campus pizzahut , KFC etc... So I think I'll be pretty good with that one...There is a cafe (buffet) and other stuff so I'm cool with that
So thats a lil run thru for you I'm makin it through sofar enjoying lil parties and things like that its really fun watching the frats and Sororities stepping through the crowds at the parties...But of course ever good thing has a dark spot and mine is Financial Aid...Im workin on it though but I am gonna need a BIG LOAN (lol) to halp me out...I am definately scholarship hunting hard for next fall cause this money shit is rediculous
But I will keep yall posted on all the happenings
