January 11, 2013- Minor Frustrations

Good evening all, 

My computer is sick :-( ! So I am using my brother's PC. It's old and slow, but dammit it's all we have right now so I'm content with being able to use it. Yesterday I purchased a liquid foundation that makes me look as if I am doing blackface makeup. The finish is beautiful, with the pressed powder, which was in the correct shade. It was the Covergirl Queen Liquid Foundation in "True Ebony". Its obvious that I am not that dark so I am a little dismayed by that. I am going to look for another lighter foundation to brighten it up or just toss it and find my correct shade.  

As you know, I attend Jackson State University. They have this program dubbed "Supercard" where you can add up to $1000 to assist you with various items (books, personal items, car repairs, apparel, food, etc.) at participating vendors. Now, we have new drugstore vendors, CVS Pharmacy. Exciting?! Hell no. I purchased a Green Dot money pack from there and they let me, but when I went back yesterday, they put a quick stop to that. I am a broke ass college student attempting to make it happen. They will make it as difficult as possible to do things easily that will help us. Anywho, CVS has amazing products, but you do know why the people (well, some of them) who are fortunate to have damn good paying jobs shop there right? Good, because their products are waaaaay to damn expensive! So I will just have to find another way to get my computer fixed. I was going to get a tablet, but I need to save the remaining for: GAS!! Class starts (for me) Monday at 4pm. Yeah its kind of a way from where I live to where I attend class at.

So I am quite frustrated, but you know what. Things could be worse. I have a classmate who lost her Grandmother today, and she is dealing with it like a champ (Love you Shandra!!) so my little problems are definitely minor. I am still waiting for my packages to come in the mail, so I am still excited about that. I do, however, need to de-sober myself just a tad LOL. 

***For the record, I do NOT drink often and when I drink, its always mixed with something and in a normal amount. I DO NOT DRIVE!!!**

I hope everyone has had a great day!!! Stay strong Shandra, and anyone else out there who is grieving the loss of a loved one.

Blessings,
