"hanging tough."

it has been a rough day. the heat didn't make it any better. our class lost our beloved instructor mrs. jacklin due to personal reasons. it made going through clinicals so troublesome and we had nothing but sadness for losing her. she really did love us...loved us for who we were as individuals and as a class. it's rare to see that in schools and it was such a blessing to have experienced that with her. she's definitely one of my favorite teachers because of her sincerity, care, and passion for the things she love. the day was not lost to grief thanks to going to the gym with christian and j. seriously...working out has proven to be good therapy for my whole being. after telling myself i wouldn't go out tonight and study at home instead...i did the exact opposite and ate at max's with j and tiff. it was a good dinner and we had quite the memorable experience. i'm glad i went because it really was what i needed regardless of the compromises i have to make now with studying and homework.

on other notes...my parents are leaving this thursday for new york and won't be back until tuesday night. i'm happy that they're able to go out and do something grand together. i'm also happy to have some time without their pressure for awhile. and trust me...i'm going to make the most of it for damn sure! aside from yambeezy's party, ulitmate brawl, and possibly celebrating nikki's birthday...there will be adventures upon adventures until my parents come back. one last thing...i'm buying the 17/6 jordan pack this saturday due to a basketball bet with dub. financially troublesome but i'm actually excited...these will be the first jordans i've ever bought. it's a big thing because i grew up with cousins getting jordans like crazy and i never got shoes like that. that's going to change and i'm glad it's going to after 15 or so years.

the week just started and i already want it to end. i guess i can only hope that things will be less troublesome and be more enjoyable.
