*knock knock* Anybody home?
Good to be back, you guys. I have been spending most of the day gathering supplies and reference materials for two of the four courses I have registered for. It is good to know that I have ended the summer semester on a high note because I had managed a good GPA. Last time I checked, the GPA was at least 2.88, but I'm expecting that number to be higher as I begin my second year. It is bound to become a bit more difficult than I would've imagined.

Everything turned out okay at home, besides the fact that my mother had to rely on my sister to receive transportation. Boy, she was continually wondering when she will retrieve her car; I just figured, the sooner it is back, the better for her. I hate it when she becomes frustrated.

Yesterday turned out to be as turbulent as it comes. There turned out to be some misunderstanding regarding my cousin, and my hair. Apparently, my mother took me to the hair shop where my cousin works to trim up my afro, if you will, and then straighten it out. Now, she took me to my grandmother's neighborhood before we left for Waco for my cousin to shapen my hy hair. Well, I went over there one time thinking that she had everything ready to go considering she told my mother that she was going to bring her materials to the shop. Boy, was I wrong. She asked what my mother wanted her to do, but as I tried to explain it, I made the dumb choice by answering, "You'll have to ask Mama." She never came. At this point, time was running out, so my mother told me to explain to her what she wanted.

I returned a few minutes later after visiting my grandmother to explain that my mother wanted it shapen to her liking, but my cousin acted as if she didn't know what I was talking about. As of right now, I was becoming upset, not only because I wouldn't make it into Waco, but also my mother had to work on a night shift and my sister's kids had to go to school.

After visiting my grandmother (for the second time) to discuss what she told me towards my mother *holds thought, ahem*, I returned to my auntie's house so that my cousin would trim and shapen my hair, and this is when she started talking more than a trunkload of sh*t that even flamers couldn't deliver. She started comtemplating what she wanted to do for herself, how certain family members, including my mother, "tells" her to offer favors, and why she felt as if she didn't have the time or luxury to trim my hair. It really started to piss me off as much as it was pissing off my mother, not to mention my sister, to whom my cousin was having problems w/ lately. How inconsiderate can one person be knowing that what he/she says is not properly true. First of all, if my mother said she was going to give you the money, then goddammit, you should expect her to give it to you whenever she has the chance. Why would someone be so nice to other people yet you have the nerve to talk silly sh*t about my family? Gossiping is as bad as sinning against God, my mother stated as we rode on to Waco.

The same case would unfortunately go to my grandmother, who, as my sister would put it, is clearly egotistical. I don't know about that, but it seems as if she believes that the family is splitting apart, that conflict and resentment against each other would eventually sever the tides. I symphonsize those comments because as turbulent as the Stevens family tree is, we are still family, no matter what. I just wish the entire family would just gather around and discuss about what is bothering who instead of conflicting against one another because it is becoming ridiculous. Every time a conflict starts, it is always based one the little things, which eventually blows everything out of porportion regarding which member of the family is igniting the conflict. I almost cry a few times the moment she said that. Don't worry, you guys. I'm not that upset now, just a bit confused and disappointed w/ yesterday's experience.

Note: I'm planning on creating my entree for Shanny's Summer Fun Contest since she has expanded the deadline to the beginning of September (by the way, has anybody else entered?), plus one fan art for someone in the myO community. Sorry, that person's name will remain anonymous until I have submitted the artwork. I should be doing that soon, considering that I have a full week to get in tune w/ my schedule.

Signing off!
