Graduate School

ahhh....

my friends, it has been a very long time since I have graced you with my thoughtful lyrics

my deepest apologies...

Since January, life has happened to me, quite literally. I have graduated from Howard University (without completing my undergraduate thesis, sorry to say). I have spent two weeks traveling and studying in Egypt with DOC, KTS, and miscellaneous HU family. I am now a student in the department of public administration at the University of Delaware.

My mind is literally in whirlwind right now.

I am being pulled (socially, academically, and politically) in all different directions and each has a reason to do so.

First KMT:
I could not have prayed for a better way to spend $5,000 of my own money. (seriously) Taking the pilgrimage to Egypt was exactly what I needed to regenerate myself for scholarship, my passion and career choice! I am sure many of my sisters and brothers who went can attest to the fact that is very hard, almost impossible to put the emotions, thoughts, and expressions of the trip into verbal language. Perhaps it is the limitations of English, my love for the birth of Africa (ultimately of myself), or my deepest respect for languages verbal and nonverbal that I do not know how to deliver yet (hopefully in heaven)...but I have been having such difficultly trying to talk about the experience. So all I can promise is throughout the rest of my life journey I will reference and hopefully with a much better clarity then I have now, be able to share!

Earlier, on the phone with my mother, she told me to quote her (if I had the chance to) regarding my confusion about even being where I am at this very moment (Morris Library, University of Delaware), she gave me the classic (yet always profoundly correct)....it is in God's hands speech. I know that is true, and I know others can relate in having the need to be shown God's detailed plan for your life in explicit detail via powerpoint asap. This program was free, and hopefully I can take full advantage of being here and having this time away (from what? I'm not sure but I feel like I am AWAY....) I am excited more about my assistantship than my actual course work but I am sure my new found love for scholarship will make me excited about both.

HOTEP.
