Blessed

as i lay here with my laptop, i realize how highly favored i am by god. my roommate is on the phone with someone discussing where shes going to be living next year. you see, at howard, housing is only guaranteed for the first year. after the first year, housing is chosen by rsvp points that you can accumulate threw various activities on campus, community service, ur gpa etc. when my day to choose housing arrived, i was lucky enough to end up in meridian. its a co-ed off campus dorm. my other current roommate and my really good friend dani are going to be living there too. (very exciting!) but a LOT of my other close friends did not even get housing; the same predicament my roommate is in. when i found out that i had housing, i was so happy but as soon as i got like..really happy...my friend came into the room and said they didn't get housing. no more celebration! anyway back to the real point...

i am SO blessed. i have housing in the place i really wanted to live, i don't have to worry about finding an apartment or a house or anything. i've been trying to be more aware of my blessings and about the things i take for granted.

the other day my friend from french class (who lives in meridian) showed me around the building and the area. i love it and i'm so so so SOO happy and i can't talk about it cuz my friends didn't get housing so i'm letting everyone who reads this know. i'm SOO happy!

and i'm going home on monday!

its all good in my hood.
