reunited and it feels so goooooood

Jalylah is here! i dont know why im so excited, its not like we go way back or anything. In fact i just met her in chicago during the conference. Its just nice to see her.

Okay its been a week since my last post...I'm slippin big time with this blog business- but im back on it- back on the ball.

These last few days have been intense. Its reunion weekend- I was volunteered to do this huge wall. It took a few days but its finished now- so now i can breathe.

The best part of doing this board was looking at old spelman yearbooks going back to 1950's. The yearbooks between 1965- 1985 were amoung the best yet. Since then- the yearbook has been on a steady decline. Maybe next year ill get on that committee and help bring it back along with the Spelman spotlight.

In looking at these old yearbooks i realized that i have some serious archivist tendencies. That really should be my new profession. While the woman was taking me into the basement of rockefeller, i started drooling at the sight of old yearbooks. I was so much in awe that the lady turned and asked if i were okay.

Shit- i could have been down there for years.

So now the old people are back- they are so adorable. Some of the women here are from the class of 1950- they make me smile. So proud. Makes me want to be an alum.

I'm headed back to cali on tuesday- kinda sad that ill be leaving. I have met so many fantastic people-wow.

Okay thats it for now-

be blessed,
Alii

oh yeah- i now have digital camera. fuck what ya heard- its all over now...
