my Wednesday schedule has me free of any formal sit down sessions until 6pm. that leaves me an entire day to get things done…or blow time.

this is how this particular day went…

this is my homie Daphaney Jacquitte

We are both in Dean Joe’s leadership course (designated for leaders…evidently i bribed my way in there) and we are supposed to watch the film 12 Angry Men for tomorrow’s class.

i was easily judging a book…errr…DVD by its cover and the thought of watching 12 Angry Men, made 1 Angry me. (Ba Dum Tish) But seriously…i didn’t want to watch it…no i mean it, i  really didn’t.

However, once we stopped being babies and wondering how a man as dope and well dressed as Dean Joe, could possibly pick such a lame film, we were soooo shocked and elated that it was an AMAZING piece of work!

By the way, we had to move to 3 different computer stations before we found a system that could accommodate our heavy demands of playing a 1 DVD and having 2 functioning headsets. :-/

For those who do not know, you can play a DVD or VHS in the library lower level, media center or area or whatever you want to call it. Its right next to where you are allowed to borrow the laptops. (yes, you can do that too)

Next up, i had the pleasure of meeting up with my brotha from another, Shane-o-Mac, for a session of English Honor Exam Studying and Prepping. But before we got into that, we had to drop off the DVD back to Dean Joe’s office.

this is Dr. Joe!!! (silk patterned tie…of course)

i often ask myself, “Self, are you jealous that Dean Joe has a great relationship with tons of QC students??” Perhaps. But in my mind, i tell myself that its just business, nothing personal. I like to believe i am special. After all, i helped him move into his QC Summit apartment. i separated his ties for goodness sake!! Stripes in one pile, patterns in the other!! that’s got to stand for something!

If you’ve been to Dean Joe’s office, you have to admire the assortment of colorful condoms laid out for students…in a bowl… from South Africa.

Here is an interesting thought. South Africa has one of the highest Aids rates in the world. There is a South African bowl full of condoms in his office. Maybe we should send the bowl back WITH the condoms in it. (Ba Dum!)

(don’t put on that shocked face. i’m only speaking the truth…besides, i’ve been to South Africa, so i’m allowed to make all the safe sex jokes i want)

that’s Shane-O-Mac modeling for our “QC Keepin’ it Safe and Sexy” promo

We left Dean J and the bowl-o-protection we headed for the Caf and grabbed a bite to eat with another one of my homies Sean “SkyWalker” Strommer. We kicked it with him, Ify and Vianey. While we were at the Caf, Shane’s lady friend (ooooo la la) Danabelle aka “D-Bella” or “D-Bells” or “Bells” for short, joined our posse.

…unfortunately i didn’t take any pictures of them or that great time we were having. but after that we HAD to hit up the library to finally study like originally planned.

Shane was admiring the beauty of the view from Rosenthal Library’s 5th florr, Rm 503 which is a group study room.

Bells was getting busy on the stationary CPU as we got things cracking

While we were getting at those books of ours, we were blessed to experience a beautiful sunset that was equally appreciated by equally appreciative individuals brought together by a common love of literature and life.

what made these moments with Danni Bells and Shane even EXTRA amazing was the Duffy playing in the background. I wish i could freeze certain moments and just exist in them for a few moments longer than they are able to exist but alas, i cannot. maybe this makes them THAT much more beautiful.

this all ended at around 6pm.

I got home at 12am.

I would love to explain what i did within those other 6 hours but my hands are really hurting from typing and its 2am and i really gotta get up early and work out and pick out my outfit for the morning. (God Willing)

it was a long but dope day regardless.

peace
