JoJo's Blog- Peek into my Life

I'm Back

Well i haven't written anything since last semester when I finished my last SAGES but I have returned like the prodigal child to reclaim my throne. I have to be at work at 5pm so I won't write much. This entry is to let everyone know I'm still alive. Just been very busy. Afro-Am's Cultural Dinner "A Novel Through Hip-Hop" was a success like no other and I'm not just saying that because I'm on the exec board. Make sure to come to next years. I can't believe today is Ash Weds. It is still freezing out and my new warm coat has a malfuncioning zipper so I can't wait till it feels like spring. I'm starving because I'm fasting today because I'm Catholic. I decided last night that I would give up eating after 10pm for Lent. I usually give up something food related for Lent since I really like food and the sacrifice is capable of being done unlike breaking habits like saying "retarded" all the time. Trying to be PC is so much harder than it looks. Of all days in House 6 a friend of mine is having a Puerto Rican night where there'll be authentic Puerto Rican food and I can't even eat any of it. I promised I'd come by so I will mos def take a plate with me for tomorrow. Since I gave up eating after 10pm I can't even eat anything at midnight like I usually do following a fast. I just wist my stomach would stop growling I would think my body would realize by now it has nothing to digest b/c it is way to loud. For my work-study I tutor 10th graders at the East Cleveland Library which is only about a 10 minute drive. I enjoy tutoring it is easygoing & the students are so much fun. One thing there is alot of at Case is opportunities to volunteer in Cleveland especially around campus. I work from 5pm-7pm Mon. through Thurs. and on Sat mornings I tutor at Church of the Convenant which has children from K-12. I had an interview today to be a student custodial assistant over the summer here at Case. Housing would be covered and I'd be paid 9 bucks an hour. I am also applying for an internship at Florida State University but I'm not sure that will fall through. Well I'm bout to head out so I will get back when I can probably next week.
