Textbook Tuesday: Niq's Required Fall 10' Texts (Update: THE BOOKS HAVE BEEN PURCHASED)

For those of you who may or may have not been following the blog since last fall, you may remember I was frantically trying to apply to graduate programs and gather portfolios showing my writings, etc.  Well, I was accepted into Regent University's graduate program for this fall, and I have to say I'm very excited.  It's definitely a great opportunity for me to hone in on my craft, and produce some important pieces.  I have a lot of ideas floating around in my head, and I'm eager to get them out in a presentable format!  With all of that being said, grad school is not just a gift, it is a curse, lol.  For this semester, I'll be responsible for my tuition etc, because I'm coming in under academic provision.  They want to make sure I'm not a slacker, which is reasonable.  Once I wow them, they'll put me back at a no holds acceptance status, and I'll be able to apply for fellowships and grad assistant positions.  In the meantime, I have to pay for things myself, and, yeah... I'm broke!  So, um... who wants to buy me a textbook?  Seriously, here's the books I need.  :-)

If you can't donate a book, comment and let me know you care about my plight! Lol.

Signature Saturday

It's Saturday night. I followed in the steps of @itsokay and took a much needed bubble bath after my workout earlier! I'm in bed reading the newest issue of Essence Magazine and listening to @fatbellybella's Nu Amerykah, and loving the two. The only thing missing is my infamous Saturday night glass of Riesling. :-( I feel very much in my "Pretty Brown Girl" bag. Life right now is good. Trying times are ahead, but I believe good things will follow them if I keep my mind fixed on things eternal. Sometimes I'm worried that I'm too full of dreams and aspirations for my own good. Sometimes I worry that I'm not concrete enough. Tonight, I'm not worried about any of those things. Tonight I'm thankful for my tempermental bargain laptop and the invention of iTunes. I'm slowly but surely getting through "New Black Voices" and enjoying every page. Yesterday, while I was hawking Panera's free wi-fi, I applied to Regent University's MFA in Script and Screenwriting program. I've been home for about six weeks now, and it's time to start moving forward and working towards my future. Education is vital. Tell your friends. Knowledge is still power, and while you may not learn the most important lessons in the classroom, those little slips of paper speak volumes to those with "the butter." I'll have to tell you that story later, if you haven't already heard it. Sure enough, the text messages are coming in now that I've reached the zenith of my relaxation. "wanna do something?" It's probably my favorite text message. I think I'm gonna make an executive call on behalf of my comfy and decline the night voyages. Well, that's all I have for tonight young lovers. Just checking in and working on my commitment to blogging on a more regular basis.

p.s.- somebody send me $10 to renew my Go Daddy domain name. Maybe this year I'll figure out how to connect it to a host and get my .com up and running. Ya'll help a sister out! Lol.

And don't forget... it ain't over till NiqSpeaks!
