Just One of Them Days :(

I'm really feeling presed for time this week and I am asking God to help me push through until friday. I have a test tomorrow in history and Im still reading the book that some of the questions will cover. I also have an exam in marriage and family on friday on chapter 1-5. On top of that I have to work thursday-saturday. I feel really burned out and tired as hell, I even keep falling asleep in my classes. I know I have no reason to be so far behind in my classes when I have ample time to read and my work load isn't that much at all. Procastination is definately a vice this semester will teach me to get over if I want to maintain a GPA of 3.0 or higher (preferably higher). And then this bitch got the nerve to trip about the bathroom being filthy as usual. And mind you it was my suitemates' time to clean for the pass two weeks and the deed went undone, resulting in the accumulation of hair, makeup, dust etc. in the bathroom. I aint thinkin about these chicken heads, I have too much stuff on my plate to sweat the small stuff. I know I can make it through this week with God's help. He is my strength and my provider, with him on my team no weapon formed against me shall prosper. I am speaking victory over this week and I pledge myself to spending less time on the internet and more time in my books. Gotta get back on the grind. Yall take care

Going N2 Hair Hibernation




Whats up everybody!!!!
Ok I know that yall probably get tired of me yackin about my hair, but if so dont read the blog duh lol jk. In view of the fact that this football season is gonna be hella busy at my new job I've decided that its time for my favorite alternative to everyday styling ... TWISTS. The last time I did twists as you know I did not like the particular brand of hair that I used soooo this time I'm going to use yarn again.

Reasons:




  1. Yarn looks better the older it gets, and kindof looks like locs


  2. It blends well with my natural hair


  3. Cheap alternative to synthetic or human hair


  4. Can wash more frequently that extensions


This time when I seal my ends instead of using a lighter I wanna try sealing with my flat iron (of course I will do a trial and error before i do it on my whole head)



I wanted to use a lighter shade of brown or auburn color to do a few highlights as well. More than likely I will keep these babies in until around Halloween (I want to be Fro-ed out that night).



Before I forget.....



Some of my fotki friends have requested that I do a tutorial on how to twist with a twist so be looking for that soon. Sorry its taking a lil longer than I said but I have been really busy so yall just bear with me. Please excuse how i look in the pic on the left I had just finished my hair and I was studying for my last final.



Much luv,



Chan

AU Football Season Starts with a Bang!!!

SOoooo last night while we were in the midst of putting out some more tees, my coworker took the liberty of cleaning the fitting room. She came out with a cup with what we thought was beer (turned out to be urine) and a broken sensor. Lmao that made everyone's night forreal yall. I mean who knew people could be so triflin and I swear whoever that was tried to chew that damn sensor off. I would celebrate this next bit of news but Im so freakin tired (went in to work at 7:30 am). We Won yep we won oh yeah, Kicked LA Tech's ass and I'm so happy already off to a good start. So shouts out to AU football team and our new coach Chizik (spellcheck lol).

Peace
