| I haven't written in ages and i guess there is a lot to say but I am not in the mood.
Just wanted to shout out two beautiful ladies who made last weekend awesome 
Stephie and Mims - thanks for hanging out.
Had loads of fun - maybe a lil too much.
See ya in New York someday soon.

| Last Friday, July 15th - I finally attained freedom.
I bought a new toyota corolla and now i am like 16,000 in debt but it is so worth it.
Now, i don't have to spend 2/3 hours to get Ghanaian produce.
Where I go for fun does not depend on finding people willing to go to the same place.
No more waiting days just to get groceries, or walking with an overflowing back-pack, both hands holding bags of food for about ~6 blocks
Yeah! to owning a car.
In other news:
Iram came back.
I have a female roommate - Veronica
She has a cat - whick irks me but I will live.
My other housemates are Victor and Angela - fun couple.
Haven't spoken to Stephie in months - she is too busy for friends
I can't get paid for my work cuz i don't have work authorization.
Elf is going to med-school next weekend, so i will be flying down to OC prolly for the last time then drive down to NC and back.
I graduated from Caltech - if that was not obvious
Andre will prolly be leaving Caltech which means, I no longer have a reason to come back here for Grad. School. Thank God
I have a crush on a new girl. She is dating though. Got to love life.
The extended family went to Ghana today - Grandma's 5 year anniversary
See ya all in another couple of months.
Minji:
I will be coming through Boston in August - lets get together.
Mims:
I promise my first holiday from work is in NJ
Stephie:
Don't leave till i get to SJ in September :)
Thats all folks

| Hah!
I have my B.A and now i am pulling all-nighters to finish Caltech - ironic huh.
But yeah OC was fun as always. So much love, not as much as back when i
was there but it was great all the same especially compared to ...
There was of course a downer but am not going to talk about it.
Oh! So yall know Mimi is hot - right - well, guess what ? shes looking even hotter. She looks more womanly now too.  .
Must be something about getting out of OC.
So Mim's can a brother get a date ?
It was awesome seeing Stephie - she was looking good and i was really
proud of her. Go girl - hope i make it out north to hang out with you
for a while,
Meaghan was there too, now that was surprising. I was so surprised at seeing her, I almost tripped.
Rashne came to say hi - surprise, surprise - but i was glad to talk to
her. Most of L.O.N.G was in effect. You know their usual madness .
Okay back to senior thesis now

http://www.oberlin.edu/colrelat/commencement/
and
http://pr.caltech.edu/commencement/05/info/ugradguide.html
Finally getting done ...
And yeah am walking at both.
Sucky part is, the day after OC graduation is my last and final undergrad exam and my senior thesis presentation.
My Aunt was like why you walking at both ?
My answer: I put in extra work to get a double major (CS and engineering) at OC plus at heart I am more Obie than Techie.
Why tech then - don't know - prolly cuz its 'CALTECH' and its where I am actually finishing.
I am serioulsy considering coming back to tech for the PHD (iclab) ... :-/

| ** An entry from the heart
So yeah summer ended and school started. This was supposed to be my
resurrecting term. I started out with great plans for staying in
control and staying on top of stuff. I had a positive attitude about
this term
Well that lasted for about a week ...
Now its almost the end of term and I have become a very bitter person.
I have never been a bitter person before so its a new experience.
Its a new place in my life, i have always been able to find the silver
lining in almost every situation i have been in. I have always been
able to come out it with some success. I sure don't see that happening
here.
No matter what I do to change the situation - it never really helps.
Everytime, I walk out of my room,class, .. - I find myself sighing and saying my new mantra " God, I hate this place"
One of my job interviewers asked "So what keeps you going" - I give him some answer but the real answer is
Failure is not an option.
I am the root of a tree.
In the words of my cousin: " You are the one thats going to go the furthest in this family."
I guess i have always been subconsciously aware of it and I am now fully aware of it since failing became a reality.
Its not only family ... friends ... friends of my parents ...
I wonder what I did to have so many people believe in me.
I look at myself and I can barely see a shadow of the kid that got on the plane for LA.
Irams bears witness to this. My first week at Caltech - I was all
excited and complainig about how caltech was not challenging me.
If only I knew ...
On the flipside: I am going home.
Actually - I called home one day and was talking to my mom about school when I broke down.
In the 4 years I had been away from home, it was the first time my mom
had heard something negative from me - so it scared her enough to
demand that I come home. She even got my Dad to talk to me about it.
Enough whining from me. Its time to pick myself up and try again.
Failure is not an option.
