so okay
how bout durin the award ceremony, a certain somebody got onot one, but 2 awards?
the holleian award was the one i knew i was gettin. that one came w/ a check for $50
but THEN i also got sumthin i wasnt expecting
cause i figured that if i was gonna get it, they'da let me know ahead of time or something, but no one did. i applied for the Ann Braden prize in women's studies (u shld read up on ann braden, by the way... amazing woman) awhile ago & never heard anything else about it. so im sittin there with candis and my mama and dave and my daddy & granny were sittin elsewhere, and dr. kim miller gets up to present the award and she calls my name and im like "huh?"
dude.
one hunnit bucks!
that's gonna come in sooo handy
i havent put either check in the mail cause i dont wanna spend it.
and then ive got another hundred that ive been savin
and then ive got $47.50 in change that ive had layin around for awhile
and THEN im gettin back my room deposit soon which will be like $125
this is great.
plus there's still graduation gifts to get (hopefully)!
today was my very very last undergraduate class. ill be packing the rest of the week. today there was a sr challange banquet honoring seniors who donated money to the school (i didnt give them bastards shit. i just wanted the free food so i went cause im gangsta like that). friday is the senior/parent reception. and saturday is graduation. then i'll be headed home for the yr.
it didn't really hit me until last night. all the undergrads hadda move off campus today except the ones who will be stayin on campus for the summer and the seniors. LaNetta left today, but her roommate Malynta will be here all summer. so candis and i decide it'd be good to kick it with them last night, cause really there's a good chance we won't see lanetta anymore.
so candis calls the girls yesterday and tells them to dress in all black and bring sunglasses because we're takin them somewhere and we can't tell them where. lanetta knew she was jokin. poor malynta took her seriously and was clad in black from head to toe, right down to the purse she carried, when we saw her.
bless her heart. that's all i cld say. bless her lil ol heart.
we went to priscilla's, a "sex-positive" store (aka - non-seedy freak store) here in lexington. i think it may have been the first time netta & malynta had ever been in a freak store. it was funny watching their reactions to stuff. me, bein a freak store connosieur, i wasn't phased. and the cashier lady gave me a free sample of motion lotion.
pina colada.
*wink*
so yeah, that was fun.
i spent the day w/ candis, more or less. we met up at the banquet thing, then went to sit on the sign, then i went to her house to do my laundry while we watched tv. ive noticed lately that she & i have grown a lot closer, and im happy about that. ooh! i got a sign story!
okay, so we're sittin out there, and some guy drives past and says sumthin. "you're back!" or somethin to that effect. then he leaves, circles the block, and comes back, and this time, he's got a piece of paper & a pencil.
"hey, can i get yall's 9 digits so i can take yall out or party or SUMTHIN?!"
me: um... we won't be here long! we're graduating saturday!
"well let me get yall a graduation gift then! come on, lemme get them 9 digits!"
me: *shrugs shoulders for lack of anything else to do*
"well at least gimmie yall's names so i can get yall's gifts to yall!"
so candis goes and writes our names down for him. before all that happened, we'd already decided that we were gonna make a sign that says "WE'RE GRADUATING TOMORROW!" and sit out there for awhile on friday.
