(*)TAMIKA (*) : The boy (bats eyes)

~*Kellye*~: That's very nice
~*Kellye*~: Happy for u that ur in such bliss
~*Kellye*~: ({})
~*Kellye*~: Wat else is up
~*Kellye*~: Besides I haven't seen u in like 3 months
~*Kellye*~: Despite attempts on my part /:)

(*)TAMIKA (*) : Work school consume my being! I have like 6.5 hours on the and fri to study, my train commute (10 pages each way) and sunday to rest, and study more. Folgers is the only reason I can smile in the am.
(*)TAMIKA (*) : I tell myself repeatedly...only 1 year, but this shit is tough. I have a ton of support from fam and friends but nobody really understands the pressure I feel. There's a lot riding on this 4 year journey.
(*)TAMIKA (*) : I'm blessed to do it but stressed in the process. I can't break!

~*Kellye*~: Wats riding on it that's so much?
~*Kellye*~: I just did the 3yr journey... The great hope of my family
~*Kellye*~: Dad believes I'll be the one who will take care of him.. Buy him a nice house. .... I can't even get a job. How's that for pressure

(*)TAMIKA (*) : Fb twitter and bbm are my lifelines to the world. Short random prayers keep me grounded. I kinda want to scream loud and pass out for a day, study for a week while the world pauses for me to catch up. But I can't so I'll just vent and keep going.

~*Kellye*~: U have a great job. And u get like straight As almost. U'll be more than ok yo!

(*)TAMIKA (*) : Stream of conscious thought on my fingertips. Sorry I just showered you with my woes. (I'll be sure to thank your eyes and ears when this becomes a blog post when I get to my desk! ;) ) you just saved my sanity!
(*)TAMIKA (*) : Consider me checked!

~*Kellye*~: So I know its exhausting. I wasn't doing that commute but I was working 2 jobs, doing a clinic and taking 16 law school credits.. I understand the pressure ({})
~*Kellye*~: And I had no scholarship money and barely got by on $$ I get it
~*Kellye*~: Well vent if u have to
~*Kellye*~: Its ok to say "no I can't do it" sometimes
~*Kellye*~: If u want ur sanity

(*)TAMIKA (*) : Toast to the douchebags! Take a sip for the assholes...I'm foolish!
(*)TAMIKA (*) : (Now reading your bbm's) shhhhhh

~*Kellye*~: Lol fool
~*Kellye*~: Glad I could be a lifeline tho!

(*)TAMIKA (*) : ...I get it (everything you said)...which is why I try not to complain...but every now and then I've got to release. I will get more coffee...get through my day...read your notes bcuz there's no way I'll read 100 pages tonight)...do my assignment in the morning (thank god the other class I'm behind in is cancelled...will be even further behind next week) and live on to see another day...god willing...for now...cheers to life! Shit the air feels good in my lungs and I'm fat which means I ain't starving...as we were!!! ({})

HOROSCOPE...

Your willingness to take enough time to reflect on a personal matter can clear a path to a magical and memorable experience. Unfortunately, your resistance to change grows when you focus on your goals instead of on the journey that leads to your destination. Part of your current lesson is about control; loosening your grip on the reins will also free you from your own restraints.

LETTING GO...

As you were...
