Time Management

Hey you guys! How's it going?


I first off want to say, I had t-h-e best weekend last week. So... Friday, I did nothing but school work... Saturday, I did the same thing... besides having the best date ever (that night)! (Whom picked me up in an H3, along with taking me to a fancy restuarant)

Hey, it's not everyday you get to wine and dine with a handsome fellow opening your car door and just being an absolute gentleman! Smiley face! Then Sunday... I spent half of my day at church worshipping the good Lord above! Don't even get me started on how much and many times he has blessed me lol, but overall it was the cherry on top of a sundae for my weekend!

Now enough abot me, what about you? How was your weekend? Please, please, please feel free to leave me comments. I'd love to get some feedback! So anyhow... I want to apologize to all my blog fans (If there are any out there.. yoo whoo?) for not updating you on recent events as much as I should. It's simply because always busy with working on assignments and just staying on top of things, that I can hardly make time in my hectic schedule for doing something I enjoy.. talking of course (duh)! (:

I feel like blogging gives me the chance to come, get away from the dorm and just talk about anything, well not just anything (insider--Mr. Brain) hehehe. :D Anyway.. back to my next subject that came to mind as I was typing--time management! I think the Lord wants me to speak on time management, "can I get an Amen?" I said, "can I get an Amen?" "AMEN!"

Ok! My personal definition of time management is being able to manage your schedule wisely. Such as, distinguishing the difference between what you need to do rather than what you want to do. For example, if you have a three page paper due for your English class; but heard about this party (everyone's supposedly going to) taking place at the Union. What would be the logical decision to make? Go to the party, where irresponsible activity may take place (such as; drinking, smoking and careless behavior, etc.) ignoring your priorities or stay in your dorm (like the good student I know your destined to be) and finish that paper... then if you have time before the party ends, GO! haha (:

I know everyone wasn't raised the same way, but my mom always told me-- "School work comes before anything else." From elementary through middle to high school and even now as a freshman in college, I still honor what she instilled in me.

In conclusion, my fellow "fowls" (lol) do what your supposed to and stay on top of your priorities. I guaranteed, mark my words, if you decide otherwise you will get behind and from what I was told-- it's difficult to catch up.

Later you guys,
- Ash

September 9, 2009

I'm sitting here... with a pen in my hand... pondering on what I should write about... and I've got... NOTHING!

So... let's talk about you.. how was your Labor Day weekend? Mine went pretty well!

My mom made me a cheesecake. She's such a sweetheart, but how about I got some feedback from some of my friends and of course they told me to shorten it up, so that's what I'm gonna do! Keep everything brief and to the point, but feel free to ask me any questions... about anything!

Laterrr!

Happy Labor Day!

Even though everyone's out for the holiday.. I just wanted to wish you all a safe and blessed Labor Day weekend, enjoy! (Check out my Boondocks comic, courtesy of Yahoo Comics)

Where To Start? Oh Yeah, Move-In!

August 12, 2009 was the beginning of a frenzied day. Not only was it muggy and my hair began to sweat, but it began to drizzle! My intentions to look cute were ruined. I mean what’s the point in getting your hair done if it’s going to get rained on? The ladies know exactly where I’m coming from. Some of us are serious about our hair, lol. Overall, moving was a rather out of the ordinary experience. There were times when my mom, brother and I would be debating about who would carry what and what to put where. Regardless of our disagreements, I was grateful they were there to help me carry all of my things.

Salutations..

..Eagles! If you’re curious to know, my name is Ashley Alston and I’m from Zebulon, North Carolina. I graduated from Bunn High School in Bunn, NC June 18, 2009! It was such an exhilarating ceremony, being able to share the experience with my family, friends and walking across the stage to receive my diploma. Can you say awesome? :D

Anyway my decision to attend North Carolina Central was a spiritual one, because my aspiration since middle school was to enroll at NC State University. Unfortunately, when I didn’t receive acceptance, I was perplexed on where I wanted to continue my education. Approximately a couple weeks later, I gained admissions to Central! Filled with delight; I ran told my mom, everyone I knew and thanked God for answering my prayers.

Some hobbies of mine are reading, hanging out with my family and friends and just having a good time. Back at home I drive an 86 Chevrolet Truck (Custom Deluxe, above top right), I love pickles, adore meeting new people, and my passion is roller-skating.

I have the cutest thirteen year old brother named Royce, my mom is the star in my galaxy, and Jesus Christ is my Savior. Now that you know a small fraction about me, let me fill you in on all the juicy details about my experiences thus far.
