Day 09: Something That I'm Proud of In the Past Few Days

I am proud to have finished my Fall semester without going crazy. This has certainly been one hell of a semester. I don't think I did too bad, but I could have done better. But I am so glad that it is over!!!! Only two more semesters to go and I'll finally have my degree. 

Day 08: My Short Term Goals for the Month

• Ace all of my finals
• Complete intern applications for spring
• find someone to sponsor my study abroad trip to Egypt
• make my 2011 resolutions
• pay the remainder of my Fall tuition
• be debt free by new years

These are just a few goals that I had set for myself for the month. I need to do this monthly. 

Day 07: A Picture of Someone Who has the Greatest Impact on My life

I don't have a picture of this person with me right now to post. But the person who had the greatest impact in my life would most definitely be my MOMMY!!! Gosh I love this woman. She had a hard life growing up in Brooklyn, but she didn't let that deter her from accomplishing her goals. My early years on this earth started out a little rough as well but I am so glad she took me and my sister in. One of the main things she stressed to me and my sister was how to prevail over life's many hurdles. Mommy gave us opportunities that she never had, and made sure we didn't take that for granted but to take advantage of it. She believed in me when I didn't even believe in myself and she never gave up on me. Because of her, I am the beautiful and refined young lady I am today. I LOVE YOU MOMMY!!


XOXO,

Day 06: My Favorite SuperHero

SHE IS THE ONE NAME SAILOR MOON!!! This is one of my many favorite shows when i growing up as a kid. I can't believe they cancelled it! 

Day 05: A Picture of Somewhere I’ve Been To

Nova Scotia, Canada

Went when I was 12 and it was my first time traveling out the country. I took a cruise ship and Nova Scotia was one of the places we visited. It really is a beautiful place, however when I went up there it didn't look as sunny as it did in this picture. It was so foggy and cold!!

Day 04: A habit that I Wish I Didn’t Have...

I have so many!!!!! Number one would definitely be me always waiting until the last minute to do things. I don't know why I do it. I've done it so many times that it became an ingrained response, and it almost never turns out well for me. I took a speech class over the summer and we were required to do four speeches to pass the class. My professor told us the first day of class what we had to cover in our speeches, so I had ample time to work on them. I BS'ed around on the first speech, and waited until the day of to work on it. I ended up doing the speech impromptu and my professor was able to tell I wasn't prepared, so she gave me a big fat D!!! That speech really brought my grade down. There was no reason for me to have came out that class with less than a B. It wasn't like the topics were hard.  But I def learned my lesson that day, and I am currently still working on my time management skills. What are some of you guys habits???

Day 03: A picture of Me and My friends

Since there will be another opportunity to post a pic of my friends later in this challenge, i decided to change it up and post a pic of just me and my bestie, Jade, for day 3.

lol please excuse my greasy face!!!

Day 02: The Meaning Behind My Blog Name

Hmmm, I had no idea what to name my blog. I originally named it Sincerely, Anastasia Monet but deemed that too cliche and decided to use that as my url instead. I was listening to Common's In My Own World (Check the Method) while I was working on the layout, and figured I'll use the title of his song as my blog name for the time being. I thought about changing it later, but I just might stick with it.
