The Start of a New Week

So...lets see. Well Monday started off with a snow storm. The city declared it an emergency and canceled all day and evening classes at the University. Which is crazy by the way, cause if you new Northeastern, you would know that they NEVER...I mean NEVER close. So yeah, I was quite amazed. I actually couldn't believe it and woke up 3 times just to check my text messages to make sure I saw correctly. (since the whole Virgina Tech thing happened Northeastern now sends text messages to every students cell phone in case of emergencies). I think its quite useful. This way I don't have to check the news and wait hours just for them to go through each of the schools names that are closed. Ugh I hated those days. Anywaz...back to the bottom line..which is I GOT sLeEp! and a day off from classes. I didn't wake up until 11:00. I set my alarm to wake up early to go to the gym. But I didn't even hear it at all. Ever since my baby has been gone..I have been sleeping so deeply..that I don't even know what is going on. hehe. One of my residents was pounding music last night...and they were like "im soo sorry Vicky.." And im like "sorry for what..I didn't hear nuthin." and she was like "we were right next door to you.." and I was like "really..wow..well I guess u lucked out this time.." I thought it was as quiet as a bug hehe. Anywaz...back to the reall issue hehe...I got to relax on Monday.

As soon As I woke up I did some writing here, then I went to the gym, ate lunch, and then did homework the the entire rest of the day. Oh wait while eating I watched an episode of Big Shots..which is my third or fourth favorite show. But yeah. In the middle of my homework, I tried to take a nap but I kept opening my eyes and looking at my baby's computer, so I got up and surfed the net and then did more homework.

Having my Baby's computer here is so theraputic for me. Its the latest version of the Mac and it is great! Everytime I see it, it reminds me of him and just reminds me that he is here with me :). I never thought I could have this connection to a computer but I do. Anyway..having it...I just want to do the things I always saw him doing on it..like watch political lunch and international news, and read as much as I can... I love his computer...I love him. Mwah to you Baby!

So yeah...by around 1:00am........Yes..i was up that late. I just wasn't tired. Anyway, at around 1:00am I called Tamu and we talked on the phone for probably an hour or so. It was so great to hear his voice. It made me soo happy. :). So in a short I believe Im doing better. Each day gets a little better. Last night we agreed to say that he will be home in 3 weeks rather than 21 days. The three weeks sounded a lot better. :).

So Tuesday - today..started out really really well! I woke up at 5:00am, I packed my stuff and went to the gym. I worked out until 7:30, and left in time enough to grab breakfast and print out a paper at the library. I was even able to get to my 8am class 10 minutes early. It was a great morning. Everything was just so organized. So that was good. I had a good class and like I predicted..i was the only one who did the reading and had anything to contribute in class. I mean it wasn't everyones fault..the teacher didn't send the reading until like 10 or 11:00 last night. I just happened to read the whole thing cause it was so interesting. It was about Fredrick Douglass. It was written by David W. Blight who is now a professor at Columbia University. David Blight focused on the emancipation as the source of national regeneration. It was a beautifully written essay. Some of the inspiring quotes are;

"History [is] a primary source of identity, meaning and motivation. [Douglass] seemed acutely aware that history was both burden and inspiration, something to be cherished and overcome. Douglass also understood that winning battles over policy or justice in the present often required an effective use of the past."

Douglass commented:
"for it is not well to forget the past...Memory was given to man for some wise purpose The past is....the mirror in which we may discern the dim outlines of the future and by which we may make them more symmetrical."

Good sigh...isn't that beautiful!? And it is soo true. I have not heard it put better. Don't you want to keep reading!? And I had a chance to read all 30 pages of it! So needless to say..I may enjoy this stuff :). I am so much happier with my classes this semester. I dropped acting..cause it was Wack!! and then i dropped computer science cause I want my baby's help with it so I can get a straight A! So yeah I replaced it with Business Government and African American Studies..and I LOVE IT! YEY.. In my next post I will tell you of even more exciting quotes and go into my opinion of them :). So besides that...I am here at work right now its like 2:50. So yeah this afternoon will just be hmk hmk..maybe walk and hmk. Oh and can you believe it baby, my staff meeting got moved to 9:30 at night cause some knuckle head decided to have a late class. Sigh. eh well..what ya gonna do!? I will be back soon. Got to go actually do work :P

BABY I LOVE U!!!
