Let me start off by saying that I have been thinking about changing my appearance for awhile now. From head to toe, a complete new look going into this new school year. I want to dress more professionally. I don't mean suited and booted 24/7, but more button ups from time to time, and maybe a tie every now and then. Just something to try out. The Fro' has done me justice thus far. I love it. But that'll probably be done with in the next couple of weeks. It was good while it lasted! Something new has to replace it so keep your fingers crossed for the a good new look.
Presidency....going to be president of an organization next year. Definitely gonna have to step my game up in different areas. Public speaking for one. I honestly don't think I'm that great of a public speaker. I don't mind doing it, but I hate the anxious, nervous, cracked voice you get. Mentally I think I'm not as nervous as my voice always shows....besides that, finding my inner leader will be a challenge. As much as I want to lead, sometimes I don't think I'm cut out for it. Guess its time to strap up huh? It should be exciting though. Shoutout to Afro-Ethnic Student Association (AESA), I hope to do you justice this upcoming year.
No summer school for me. However, I think I'm at that point in my life where I can't just do nothing....got to keep the gears moving in some way. This summer I have a pretty interesting to do list. It includes:
- Read 10 books
- Write 5 poems
The 10 books sound like a lot....but if I stick to a rigid schedule, I could get close I think. The upside to that is that even I don't read all ten, knocking out 6 would still be a great accomplishment. Writing 5 poems I think is feasible. I'm a lazy writer. I have about 4 poems that need to be written...just haven't got the focus to do them. So hopefully this small part of my to do list will keep me focus on being productive in something.
I think an unsaid part of my list is to just write. Even writing this blog post is something that was needed. My mind needs to be exercised in ways that aren't just me thinking and coming up with mad ideas that never see the light of day. My moms always tells me "Use your head for more than a hatrack." So as much video games and lounging I want to do, hopefully I find myself doing stuff that gets my mind to the level I want it to be at.
Definitely have to get back in shape. My goal is to get down to 140 pounds. Shouldn't be too difficult if I stick to it and eat right...which is the biggest challenge.
So to this Summer, let's do work. And to anyone who took the time to read this:
