So today is my boyfriend Kenny's 30th birthday. Happy Birthday baby! I hope you're day is all you want it to be. I am sorry I can not be there with you, but I promise to make it up to you when we get together in a week or so. I know our schedules conflict right now! I love you! Otherwise in my world, I...

Well I did it. I dyed my hair purple today. I love it! It is so exhilarating. I love dyeing my hair. I am trying to be everything I have always wanted to be. This is something I have wanted to do since 2001, so it was long overdue. I had black hair with purple in it then, but this is different. It isn't completely...

Purple is good
So things in my life have been pretty chaotic lately.For starters, I started graduate school. I am pursuing a Masters degree in Distance Learning Education. I want to be an online professor someday. They make good money and it would allow me to work from home and I would enjoy it as well. So if all goes according to plan, I will graduate in a...

Thanks for the comment, outcastgenius (can I call you OCG?). It was very much appreciated and gave me a lot to think about. I've spent my entire adult life living in urban areas, but growing up a somewhat spoiled brat I don't exactly have in depth knowledge of what it's like to have to live this way.
I'm about half-way into my semester into grad school, myself. Library science. So far, it's kind of kicking my ass and it's intimidating as hell, but it's actually really interesting so far. I hope I make it all the way through!

Your welcome. I don't mind sharing my experiences. I learned a lot from them. I even think they made me a better person in some ways. I tend to think I appreciate things in life more now. As far as the outcastgenius thing it is actually a joke of sorts. In high school I was always the unpopular kid, the nerd, if you will. I always had my nose in a book and I did not participate in many activities outside the realm of academia. Hence, where the outcast came from. I even hung out with those individuals who tended to follow the same path as myself. I never made fun of others and always took those who were bullied under my wing. As for the genius part, the books led me to be somewhat knowledgeable I suppose. I got into Duke University for undergraduate school, well at least half way. Sort of a weird story. You have to be accepted twice. Once based on grades and then interviewed based on your so called "other" qualities. Once I was interviewed, they denied my acceptance. They told me that I was not socially ready for the Duke environment. It crushed me at first, but I moved on. So as a joke to all this, my friends and I made up the name "outcastgenius" to refer to all the people who did not quite fit in yet well very intelligent people who had a lot to offer the world. For future reference however, you can call me what my friends and boyfriend do and that is Jen or Jenny. Whatever you prefer. My real name is Virginia, but I hate it and only use it in school and at doctor's offices. However, I often hear it when being scolded by a parent. Go figure!
