'A Different World' appreciation post

This ain't out of the blue. Recently Jasmine Guy (Whitley) from 'A Different World' was on the Mo'Nique show recalling how she was casted as Whitley Gilbert and talking about Whitley's ruthlessness. I thought it was awesome.

Just ranted on Twitter about the lack of shows depicting black young adults in college. Then again there are very few college shows most shows stop at high school because college is when some actually become responsible and get serious about their future and there's obviously no fun in that obviously. Much like The Cosby Show--A Different World was pretty positive when it came to expressing issues in young lives and actually had some pretty serious moments aside from the over the top characters that you'd love to be friends with (Whitley, Dwayne, Ron and my personal favorite Freddy). I can't express how good of a show 'A Different World' was. I love to watch the reruns and old episodes because it never gets old. If you ever get a chance check 'A Different World' out.

The Dreading

I have an interview tomorrow for a job with the highly esteemed University of Pennsylvania. It would look perfect on my resume and my application when I apply to Med school so I'm hoping I get. An interview. Good news right? Not really. I'm not a good speaker and I have to appear confident and smiley which I have no problem with but at the same time I have to be prepared to answer questions about my academic and work experience with ease. So much goes into making a good impression on professionals that you may potentially work for. I've been agonizing and dreading and ready to get this over with. I hope that they like me and I hope that I appear comfortable. I've lessened the number of times a day I drill myself with interview questions to try and rid myself of the anxiety that was slowly beginning to creep up on me this weekend. The interview is tomorrow afternoon. Hoping and praying for the best with my hands gripped.

In news totally unrelated to my personal life, The-Dream says on his twitter (@officialdream) that the1st real single from his next album 'Love King' is due out in February. Meaning the album will drop in March or April (I'm guessing). But when you're dealing with record labels things sometimes don't work out as planned so I'm not going to hold my breath. Love King was supposed to be released next month actually. So that tells you something already. Still I'm sure it's worth the wait.

Transition

Lo ciento for the lack of recent posts. I've kinda been struck with a lot of stuff at once I guess. Last weekend I was in NYC having a rocking time beaking soaked by bodily fluid and the harsh stuffy and stinky environment known as an AFI mosh pit. I still enjoyed seeing Davey Havok and the boys. It was fun to hang out with Rei, Liz, Laura and Jamie. And also always a pleasure to be in NYC even though I missed my Megabus in the peppery spray of that Saturday night rain.

The same night I found out that our family friend whom we affectionately referred to as Mr. Doug had passed away from liver damage that we supposed he kept from us for a long time.
He was my mom's ex-fiance and a definite angel of sorts with the many financial rescues and gifts. Also just a loving guy in general. The funeral was beautiful and I'm glad I got to meet his family.

Then New Moon happened and like a fangirl I've grown interested in Twilight.

Anywayz, this post was supposed to be short and just to say that I will have more to say soon but I'm a big lazy thing at the moment so bear with me. I'm transitioning.
