First day of my last week...

So, on January 9, 2010, I was packing up my fiance's car. We got everything in the car and then realized that we didn't have the car seat in the car. My fiance looks at me and says, "well, I guess this means we can't take Khalil."

Yes, exactly!! complete panic in my eyes and I began to tear up like the time my brother took my cassette from me when I was like 2 years-old and dangled it in my face like I was some donkey chasing a carrot...yes, he got a laugh out of anything!! Anyway...I responded, "what you mean we can't take Khalil, he has to come! I can't go away and not see him!"

So I ran upstairs and told my mom, which only made me cry harder because she said, "well Haniyyah, he's right! You got too much s#*t!"

I was devastated so you know what I did? I took some of that s#*t outta there! What did you think I was going to do?


Any now look, I am 3 days away from from the end of this journey...but the beginning of a new one. It wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be because my son understands. I told him last night before he went to bed,

"Mommy won't be here in the morning because I have to go back to school. Why do I have to go back to school?"

He said, "you gotta go back to school to do your homework."

This experience has been more than words can say. My supervisor told me today that she appreciates me and that I am the perfect example of an ideal intern. You don't even know how that makes me feel. I have been balancing school, internship, fiance and mother, all while traveling back to Philadelphia WHENEVER I can!! So you'll have to excuse me if I pat myself on the back...as a matter of fact, I am giving myself a whole hug!!

Like Obama said, "YES YOU CAN"...and you can. I am soooooooooooo motivated, I can't be stopped!

Well, I could go and on. Looking forward to tomorrow!
