wow, wow, wow...

me, shannon, is on xanga....geez! how many years has it been?? lol

well, yea, i'm still alive everyone! im in school now. i have been here for a week and one day. its freshman week. i haven't started classes yet. those start on tuesday. it feels great to be out of my parents house but at the same time...there are some triflin ass females in my dorm that are causin the whole dorm to have to suffer...they juss have too much time on their hands since like we haven't started class or anything yet...

i survived summer school...it was soooo much fun. it was somethin like 3 weeks in between the end of pre-college and the start of the fall semester and just about every single day of that 3 weeks was boring as helllllll...haha and thats wat i heard from a lot of my friends--it was a great learning experience tho!! my grades weren't as good as they should have been ... however i took away a lot from this summer. it really eased my transition into..."the college life" lol

¢¾ random things:

¢¾ we won our first football game yesterday ¢¾ there was a party on friday that got shut down cuz of fighting ¢¾ trey songz is comin here tomorrow to do a free concert in the student center ¢¾ the howard vs. hampton game is next weekend!! ¢¾ i still haven't finished unpacking ¢¾ ....tha's all i can think of

well i'm here @ HU and its been about a week since i been here but it feels like forever (in a good way) everything is workin out juss fine as far as my classes and my roomate, friends and everythin else. my roomate is from TN but originally from here. we get along real well as far as like our habits & stuff like that (for ex. like when we go to sleep, noise, etc) the only thing that i don't like about bein here is the fact that i have to go to class..lol like everythin seemed cool like the first few days and even the first week for the most part but i had a quiz in my bio class which was...okay, i mean it was cool and then after that he started lecturing and i did not know what the hell he was talkin about...at all! it was like he was speakin a foreign language or somethin. so ima definitely hafta study if i'm tryin to do well this summer which is my main goal. i've met a lot of really nice people--everyone is so friendly here. u can juss be walkin down the street and someone will be like hey how ya doin or somethin like that. people are always introducing themselves and its juss a really nice place to be i guess...lol and the campus is beautiful! i haven't taken any pics yet but i will (once tha weather clears up) and i finally got my computer workin in my dorm room so i'll be able to be on here & stuff. the only other thing that kinda sucks is not havin a car...well i mean shoooot i never had a car but i had access to one...u kno? lol like maybe i could if i wanted to but here its juss like...NO! lol tha's all there is to it. but i'm really happy w/ my decision to go to school here & all that so juss kno that ya'll...and tha's all i got 2 say for rite now

wow! i leave tomorrow and i think that now it's finally starting to hit me...lol i am a bit nervous because like...

~» what if the work is too hard??
~» what if i do badly and get bad grades??
~» what if i get a bad roomate??
~» what if.....SOMETHING BAD HAPPENS?!?! jk...

but seriously...i am so worried that things won't go the way that i want them too...but i mean hey--tha's life huh? i have never been away from home for that long but then i tell myself...shannon even if u weren't leaving for the summer, you would still be leaving eventually...so i guess i juss gotta get over it huh??? lol yea tha's wat i think...but anyways it seems like i really do have a lot to look forward to and yea thas how i see it but like i guess what all i am tryin to say is that this whole college thing is about to be a drastic change for me and that makes me nervous!! i mean...wouldn't it make u?? like i found out i was goin to hampton in like november. whenever people ask, they always get "oo yeaa...i'm goin to hampton" but now i guess it's finally hit me that instead of that being somethin i juss say it's about to be somethin that i do as well...but yea anyways...tha's basically all tha's goin on w/ me rite now. idk if i'ma have access to a computer like i do @ home so idk when i'ma be on here again...til then...take care!!

♥ always

wuss good...?? well today is a teacher work day so of course i gotta lil time on my hands. can't complain about dat...so let's see~~

i had an interview yesterday. it was for a scholarship. i think i did good! lol i hope that i did! i wasn't dat nervous but i kinda was because i kinda didn't know what to expect. they asked me some questions and i answered most of them pretty good it was juss the way i said them. i didn't sound very confident and i don't know if that would have an effect on like da way they judge me or whatever...but oh well. i think i'ma have another interview for another scholarship here soon...

on saturday night i went to see my first scary movie...i was too proud of myself. i never watch scary movies cuz i'ma punk but my friend was like "we're 17, we goin to see rated R movie" (she juss turned 17 not too long ago) and we saw the amityville horror....it was pretty good. it wasn't dat scary like anythin dat u would have nightmares off of but it was scary cuz like shit would juss pop out @ u from nowhere

report cards are comin out soon...i hope that i did okay. i cannot believe that i saved myself from a D on my report card...i was thinkin of alllll dis shit i could do to get it changed and hopefully it worked so i will be at a C...cuz i got senioritis like cRaZy

i'm juss countin down the days tho....june 9, 2005

heeeeyyyy!!!!! wuss good?! seems like i haven't been here in forever and i keep bein here less & less. well life has been goin kinda crazy 4 me lately. all i wanna do when i got time is juss relax. so let's see--thing tha's been goin on--

~» i had a merit achivement scholarship from hampton university for $6000 but it wasn't official until the other day...so tha's somethin really good. most of the ones that i was doin that had me stressed out i got finished so tha's somethin really good too lol

~» i put in an application that was due on the 31st of march for a summer program offered by hampton university. there is such thing as 'pre-college' but that isn't what i'm doing. pre-college you have to pay like a thousand something for. the one that i applied for is all paid for except for books. it is a 5-week residential program where i will be actually taking college-level classes and stuff like that. sometime in like the past 2 weeks i received another application for another summer program that is also paid for. so the way it's lookin, i will most likely be spending my summer in hampton, va!

~» in one of my classes today, one of my teachers had on the board that it was somethin like 34 (could be wrong) school days left for seniors...i didn't even realize...! that is less than a month and then i am THROUGH with high school! it is crazy to think about sometimes--yanno?? like every year i'm so used to goin on summer break always knowing that i am coming back to school to most of the same people & stuff. but after this....this is it!! no more coming back!! i'm getting more and more excited and it isn't because like i hate high school like i guess the average person would say...it's juss that like i feel like i'm ready to grow up a lil--u kno?? i feel like i'm ready 4 that next part of my life...but so many tell me, they are like "this is a crucial time in your life" and "this is the time in your life where it is most easy for you to make mistakes" and i definitely realize that. that is why it makes me kind of nervous but for the most part...i don't think i see myself makin more than the average mistakes lol yanno?

well anyways guys...i can see that i'm juss goin on & on so i'ma go ahead and juss leave it at that. hopefully i'll be in here more often...but hey who knows...? well i'm out so holla!!

i'm havin major, major issues with keepin focused lately. i am such a procrastinator. and it's like --I KNOW THIS-- but it's like i don't be doin nothin about it...i dunno it's weird...?? anybody kno wat i mean? so a lot of stuff that should be gettin done isn't getting done which will lead to missed opportunities on my part...which is no good...

hmm well ya'll it feels kinda nice to be back @ xanga...while actually i've also been at myspace lately too...so u guys can go check that out...
