LAST

For some reason i thought my previous blog was our last blog but i was wrong. maybe i was a bit excited about this semester ending lol. but i should have blogged earlier when i was in a happy mood because now im forcing myself to write when i really dont feel up to it because i am in such a crappy mood. But talking about my mood is making this blog longer. so i hope you'll have a great summer and i really enjoyed this class but im in such a bad mood right now! i have to go ;)(!

LAST CLASS BLOG!

So this is supposedly the last blog, but I think I'm going to continue this blogging journey...
Anywho, well SCHOOL has been on my mind alot lately and I began to think how does a full-time student have so much time on their hands and still maintain good grades in school....hmmm?
thinking... thinking....thinking. ok, I know. IMPOSSIBLE. This semester has been so difficult for me.
HANDS DOWN, the University of Memphis is a great school , I love it, and I'm returning for my sophomore year, but darn it, it's challenging. Not complaining, but geeeezz! It's just gen-eds! Im so happy that  this semester is finally over, I can finally have a break because I need it. I have had a migrain for a week and a half and it will not go away. Everytime I turn around there is a paper due, test, quiz, this and that....(PULLS MY HAIR OUT). LITERALLY. My grades are great but without a doubt I AM TIRED. The sad part is, IM ONLY A FRESHMAN lol. But hey, I'm in for the ride. (ugh). I know that sometimes things will get hard but I only have to remain the strong woman that I and take care of my responsibilities because I am held accountable for whatever results in the end! Im juuuuuuust saying, HEY MAN, IM READY FOR THE SUMMER! HOW ABOUT YOU!

"Education is the Key"

One day when I was at work..... I was  cleaning our lobby and two customers were sitting in the lobby eating. They were carrying on a conversation and keep making strange faces while they kept staring at me.... (I HATE WHEN PEOPLE STARE AT ME)
But I went on, and did not pay it any attention...
they finally asked, "Excuse me ma'am, how much do they pay you'll to work here?"
and I replied, "minimum wage which is $7.25."

customers: "WOW...THATS IT!!!" as they shook there head...and kind of turned red in the face.

Customers: "MAn how do you guys make it off that?"

Me: Weeelllll, I'm only 18 and there isn't much I need, Im a full- time student and this is jusgt a little income, my parent help me! So I can't say for others and the hours that I receive are pretty good, so my check is pretty good for an "18" year old, now for the 30-50 year olds that work here I can't say much about them..(giggles)

Customer: ok. I guess I can understand that

*I continued cleaning my lobby and they carried on

I've always asked my self the exact same thing....I would say to myself, man I don't know how these people make a living here... I assume they are struggling, on welfare, depending on the government etc.

UGH! I wish they would take all of that away.... people are so lazy...GO TO COLLEGE! GET A DEGREE! AND A CAREER! AND MORE MONEY!

yes, I make minimum wage, but my job is also NOT my career. There is ABSOULUTELY no way I'll be there when I'm 30 and up. I'll be done before or at 22! that's a promise!

That few questions that the men asked,  intrigued me because honestly...

I dont know the answer....WHY ARE PEOPLE SO LAZY?
WHY DO PEOPLE THINK IT IS OK TO DEPEND ON THE GOVERNMENT?
WHY DOES THE GOVERNMENT KEEP GIVING?


GET YOUR LAZY BUTTS OUT AND GET A JOB

GO TO SCHOOL


GET A DEGREE
 DOOOO SOMETHING!!!


EDUCATION IS THE KEY PEOPLE!!!

(TAKES DEEP BREATH)


THIS IS JUST MY OPINION

SO HEY! (HUMPS SHOULDERS!)

.....THEHEHEHE!

HAVE A NICE DAY EVERYONE!

WELP!

Blogging is a bit boring now. At first I was excited to blog UM....not anymore. I get tired of driving to the uc just to BLOG...boooooooooooooooo!!!! lol. But hey, it's for a grade, so I do it. Its weird because in the beginning it was interesting to read others blog post but now, they're so short and BORING. I have absoulutely nothing to talk about...tehehe! I wonder how will class be tomorrow...hmmmm, WHY IS OUR CLASS SO QUIET?  Maybe my next post will be interesting, but today is just one of those days where I REALLY DONT CARE! hmmmm, maybe because it's raining out today. You may think im crazy, or does it sound like I'm talking to myself? I do feel a bit weird because im typing a lot of NOTHING....just words...AND. im actually about to post it for my BLOG OF THE DAY, but  HEY!
WELL
HAVE A GREAT DAY EVERYONE!

emotions

sometime emotions get the best of you and that is exactly what i am dealing with at the moment. i really dont feel like blogging, talking, thinking or anything. usually im excited about blogging. but today/tonight is just isnt the day or night to do this. But i know it is for a grade so i drove all the way to campus to complete my assignment. (sighs) sorry. maybe next time. my mind is BLANK. so I dont feel like editing my post, this is just FREE. i dont care. not tonight...
sorry guys.

"MY" DREAMS!

My dreams are not that big to the point where they can't come true. All I ever want out of life is to be successful at what I love to do and the few interests that I have. I always dream of dancing professionally on a BIG STAGE! literally. So when you work hard and "meet people that know people". The outcome is BULLS***! At least here in Memphis. WAIT________ I LOVE MY CITY, but I've always been told "Cici, you have to get out of Memphis if you want to make it". Well, I don't believe that. I believe I can make a difference right here in Memphis. We have good talent right here in our city. Dancers, Musicians, Poetry Writers so on and so forth. BUT! we are overlooked by sooooo many cities. Another thing that i've noticed (THAT DRIVES ME CRAZY) about our city is we NEVER SUPPORT EACH OTHER. As if we are competiting against one another when all we need is the SUPPORT! We should be competing against the states that have such BIG MOUTHS! So if you see someone doing great, please, CONGRATULATE them. It really makes that person feel great to hear so many popsitive things. Not only does it make them feel good, it also increases the motivation, the drive. SO, CIERA WHAT IS THE POINT OF THIS BLOG????? Well, lately I've been working hard at what I love to do. After a while I began to feel used for an odd reason. Realizing that HMMMM! feelings dont just come, they all have a reason. The difficult thing is finding out the REAL reason you have this certain feeling. As I sat down thinking to myself......"Ciera open your eyes." forcing myself to do so, NOW, I can clearly see:
1. I've met sooooo many NEW people (WHICH IS GREAT) OK....
2.MAJORITY of them are fradulent, betraying, phony....THE  LIST IS INFINTE!!! SMH!

It hurts so bad, to give something that you love your all yet you are being played around with the entire time. How can one do such thing. So as a result, almost no one will see my face. I'm so sick of it, it's RIDIC!
MEMPHIS DANCERS (ANY DANCERS) COMMENT PLEASE! TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK, TELL ME ABOUT AN EXPERIENCE YOU'VE ENCOUNTERED. HOW DID IT MAKE YOU FEEL? WHAT WAS YOUR MOTIVATION? DID YOU ADDRESS THE SITUATION?

AND FOLLOW ME BECAUSE I LOVE TO HEAR FEEDBACK FROM EVERYONE!

FUNNY DAY AT "MY JOB"

So I went to work a little early today. Everything was going fine even though we were very slow and had 0 customers :) but hey, easy money for me,

 so NO COMPLAINTS. Suddenly, we got a little rush. A few in the lobby and a few in the drive thru as well. Hmmm. ok! Well as I was working at MY JOB,

 I began to start running in circles because we were getting a bit busy for only 2 employees. As I replied to every customer, "THANKS, HAVE GREAT DAY". a tall light skinned BOOSTER approached me(YEA A BOOSTER):

booster: yea, yea, someone told me to come up here said you wanted to buy something

IM THINKING WHAT THE HELL?

I wasn't paying him any attention because I didn't know he was talking to me because:
1. I didnt tell anyone anything
2. I dont by anything from BOOSTERS
3.ESPCIALLY NOT A MY JOB

So as I handed him his food and said the same as I said to everyone else, " THANKS, HAVE A GREAT DAY" I noticed he was still standing at our counter just looking.

Me: Sir, how may I help you?
BOOSTER: yea, im about to bring the bags in, in a minute
Me: No thanks, im not interested (TRYING TO BE NICE)

So he yells in the kitchen at the cook,

BOOSTER: Hey, I got coach bags, EVERYTHANG..
Cook: lemme see.

As the booster looks around for about five minutes to ensure that no police are around, he brings this huge black garbage bag inside. Pulls out all of this CRAP (fake bags, all kinds, so if you're interested let me know lol). My facial expressions are say, " really, are you really serious???"
Cook: thanks (walks off)

I TOLD HIM, "NO ONE WANTS TO BUY FAKE BAGS"

OMG!

WHY DID I SAY THAT???

this man gets so angry WHY? because he knows for a fact that everything in that GARBAGE bag was fake. smdh!



BOOSTER: HOW IN THE (BEEP) YOU GONE TELL ME MY (BEEEP) FAKE? YOU DON'T KNOW (BEEP). YOU (BEEP).

interrupts the lobby of customers asking:

WHAT THE (BEEEEP) THAT (BEEP) TALKING ABOUT

it goes on and on and on and on and on and on and on


for about 10 min
and its so entertaining to see someone argue about something they are so sure about yet they are so upset.
He told me that I was broke and I was hating on his hustle.
AAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I WOULD NEVER CONDONE SUCH STUPIDITY.

as soon as this happened I knew it would definetly be a blog post!
STAY AWAY FROM BOOSTERS
