So considering I have two others blogs that I try to make time for in between my three jobs, school & handling the chaos that is my world, it only seemed like more fun to kind of add this class blog to my LEAST used one on blogspot.
I'm Ayanna...I don't think anyone but bank tellers & the people at motor vehicles really need to call me/identify me by that name. I'm cool with that. I've been given a variety of nicknames, but most people call me Ya, Aya or Yanna.
By day, I'm a retail slave & by night I'm a student with a voracious appetite for learning. That's right, I said voracious. Don't you just love the way that word sounds? Anyways, I left a really amazing full time job at an Ivy League University to continue my education on a more full time basis therefore I now am subjected to horrible hours, nights and weekends when I'm not in class, and straight-up rude people in the wonderful magical land of retail. Oh, one thing I can say is that it never is boring, but it doesn't appeal to my creative - thought provoking side.
So far this semester has been crazy. I mean really, who has a hurricane happen right before the first day of school? Pretty surreal, especially since we don't live in a region that even gets hurricanes. *sigh* It seems as if my professors, minus this clas, expect me to purchase like 30 books, read them and take tests in the next two weeks. Right, so in the real world, not the one that marvel heroes from comic books are in, this is insanely unjust when you have three jobs & barely enough time to make a sandwich or do that thing I can't remember the last time I did called "sleep"...
All in all, I get up every day, manage to smile and roll with the punches. I'm a psychology major and [new] women studies minor. Super excited about the promise that my minor holds for expanding my mind and opportunities within my own communities as well as those around me. I love learning. Knowledge is like nectar for the brain, you know?
When I'm not in class or smiling like one of the Stepford Wives at one of my multiple jobs, I am literally outside -- like at one with nature. I love visiting state parks, beaches, forests, rivers, lakes...anywhere near water where the air is so clean you cough because your lungs are readjusting. During this peaceful time away from people and the rest of the homosapien world, I indulge in three of my favorites: music, poetry & photography. You name it, I listen to it. I love music from Chopin to NIN to Lupe Fiasco to Adele. Music is a window to the soul. My poetry is what keeps me sane. I've written over 400 pieces and have been trying to get published a little longer than forever --- life has had other plans for me. I do however have a poetry/my thoughts blog attached to this one. My photography [I also have a photography blog here too] is also something I hold near & dear to me. I guess I would say my creative side suffers to the real side of my life, but you do what you have to do when you're an adult.
I try to keep life outside of work pretty stress-free. I collect swords, love my acoustic guitar and have a movie collection of indie flicks that's insane. I'm quirky, talkative, laugh a lot and love to play with words. I'm always open to meeting new people, traveling and whatever adventure is around the corner. I'm an Aries so I love a challenge, never give up and am always there for those I love. I work hard and play hard. I have a keen sense of perception and seem to know things about other people they don't know about themselves. I'm a crazy mixture, but I'll never bore you.
I am me.
