No Crying On The Battlefield

You know it's bad when the women go from wailing at the wall to war cries, It is time for my women to stand up, no longer show skin and cover up, not just stand in disbelief but on the front lines... show up...we have decided that our children can no longer be casuality, and that doesn't mean working for them for shoes on feet, it means us, just doing it, checking on the future that we activity play a part in, and loaded weapons will spark fire at the end...if you mess one of mine, and one of mine is yours too, in a village, the walls fall and we are seen as on whole group, so it's war, and has been for a long time, the bodies you pass on the battlefield, some turned their backs while others, coward to cry, but I lead you into the trenches, and not scared to break a nail we need to make a difference...and no longer will talking simply be enough, as the bullets fly, your instinct needs to open up...not like flowers in bloom either, like bombs dropped next to camp we are trying to survive in...INSTANT...and you can get back to your crying as a woman about a man not being their for you, but NOW they are on the battle field right next to you, standing guard because they now realize that in fight, they really do need a powerful YOU, so what you gonna do...stand and fight or wail at the wall...Let me know, cause I'm moving forward...it's war ya'll.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
