Hello Friends and thanks for following my blog. Please comment on this page versus facebook. This blog is not for entertainment. It is a more intimate blog that is part of a course that I am currently taking with professor Rockquemore @ UIC, a course titled "Leadership For Change". In this course we are learning about different types of leaders, more importantly finding out who we are and finding the leader in us! I appreciate you following along and will try to keep you as informed as possible. Our Assignment are usually based on readings from 4 books 1.Bell Hooks, All About Love 2.Susan Komives Exploring Leadership: For College Students Who Want To Make a Difference 3. Parker Palmer, Let Your Life Speak 4. Barbara Sher. Wishcraft: How to Get What You Really Want. and additional reading from our Blackboard site.

WORK IT GIRL!!!! LOL

Its been a great and successful semester but it is coming to an end sooner than I like.... :( This semester has been very fulfilling and these next few weeks will be hectic!

Fist Steps...
I had a long list of first steps because I know if I wrote them down they would all get done. It's something about reading the list in front of the class that makes me feel obligated to completing my first steps.

Complete purchasing ticket to Morocco. COMPLETED and paid in full! :)
Attend Study Abroad pre-departure orientation. I completed this on Friday at 10am; the orientation was very informative and helped a great deal in packing both for Nigeria and Morocco.

Send out Application for Visa~ My application has been sent out, I am praying and keeping my fingers crossed that my visa arrives before I leave for Nigeria! : % I have been trying to contact the Moroccan Consulate to check if there is a possible express issuance; I never knew trying to get someone on the phone could be so hard.

Obtained traveling Insurance. ~~Got to be safe! ~

The hardest assignment was my immunizations, ONLY because I am scared to death of needles, (I had to shed a few tears) Immunization is COMPLETE!

Last but not least I have started studying for finals!

AHHHHH.... that feels good but I am STRESSED OUT!

Business Meeting

Okay so I have finalized who my permanent BUDDY will be, My Lil' Sis Bakare!

This week we discussed moving before next semester, we decided that moving will be beneficial as far as space and we can get a place for the price that I am currently paying.
We decided that we would call around our area of interest for available apartments.

We also discussed my progress with preparing for my trip. She made a few personal suggestions regarding my traveling. I am glad I spoke to her because Lil' Sis Bakare was able to see things that I couldn't.
