“Howudoinah”,
is very much a guilty pleasure. One knows that
she can be a little too much at times, but who
doesn’t enjoy overabundance?
Ok, so in less than a week I will be back on
Philadelphia University’s campus. It’s
bittersweet. I am excited about getting back to
the “campus life”, living on my own and seeing
some old-new friends. But, I am not excited
about neglecting the familiarity with my
hometown of Baltimore nor am I ready to give up
the amazing public transportation fees. $ 3.50
for every source of public transportation that I
need-the subway, the train and the bus-is
something that I regret giving up. Hopefully
SEPTA can take my advice and practice the
techniques of Baltimore’s fantastic public
transportation.
Of
course you all know that I am returning to
school early due to my position as a RA-Resident
Assistant- this year. It is pretty unbelievable;
I am anticipating the position and its
experiences very much. Wow, let’s see how it
goes!
You know what else I am anticipating? I am
anticipating my practice in art and design.
Promoting art and design-all forms- is something
that I am very passionate about, but now, I also
have the desire to become the artist and
designer. Through photography, design, painting,
writing and other forms of art and design, I
want to explore my ideas and create discussion.
Every time I mention the idea, I get thrilled. I
just purchased some paintbrushes and I am in the
works of finding myself an amazing camera that
will capture my thoughts. I am also brushing up
on my writing. Practice makes perfect, right?
And on the subject of art and design:
And on the subject of art and design:
In previous journals, I have mentioned Sheyla
and Sharon Laviera, two of my best friends from
Baltimore. I remember mentioning that they are
adorable, beautiful, amazing , hardworking and
intelligent. The adjective I don’t remember
mentioning about the two twins is: artistic!
These girls are VERY artistic. I’ve known these
girls for around three years now, and it was
only until yesterday that I became aware of the
artists that are inside of them.
There are drawings in their rooms that I just
love. I wanted to know who drew them because
they just looked marvelous. They were amateur
drawings but they had hints of professionalism
and depth in them. Sharon humbly revealed to me
that she created both drawings. She also showed
me some of her photography and I was just in
awe. Who knew my Lavieras were budding new
artists?
Well darlings, as I am writing this journal I am
also writing my itinerary for this week. It’s
very simplistic and very messy. But, here it is
in brief:
Tuesday: Do Some School
Shopping at Wal-Mart and Target
Wednesday: Pick up Chemistry
Grades; Have Lunch with Uncle Arthur and Aunt
Bert
Thursday: Sleep in Late; Meet Sheyla and Sharon
for our Farewell Picnic
Friday: IDK
Saturday: IDK

At This Very Moment: Finish this journal and
type “Till’ Next Time Darlings!”
Till’ Next Time Darlings!
