Well Diary Readers its that time of the year again that EVERY college student looks forward to is SPRING BREAK. Its time for that much needed break after those dreaded midterms, a time to get away from those professors, and a chance to get away from those crazy roommates (sorry Jamie, TJ, and RIco). Most students will be going out and doing some extravagant things, but as for me I will be going home for a while and relaxing with my family, because I havent had a chance to do that in a long time. Im going to catch up on a little sleep, and just let all my stress be relieved. But even though I get a week off, I still have to look forward to a test and two papers that are due once I get back. So as I have asked of you before, just continue to pray for me so I can make it through another semester.

As far as school is concerned, everything is going extremely well. Im doing great in all of my classes and im continuing to grow as a student nurse. So hopefully U will be able to make the Dean's List this semester, and to keep my LIFE Scholarship for another year. But thats all I have for now people, so until next time yall be safe and stay out of trouble.

Well well well diary readers, it has been quite a while since i have last talked to you. I just want to say sorry, its not the fact that I was neglecting you, its just that I have been a little busy with school and work for the last couple of weeks. There has been some interesting things that have happened to me since the last time we met, so lets get down to it. Recently USCA had their first annual Dance Marathon, which is a partnership with MCG to raise money for the children there, and in the weeks leading up to this noble event there was a pageant entitled the Mr & Ms. Dance Marathon Pageant, and in an effort to raise more money for the children I entered the pageant....but there was a catch....the men had to dress like women and then women had to dress like men....lets just say to make a long story short, yours truly now holds the title of Ms. Dance Marathon (remember it was for the kids...lol).

Well to continue, I have another little surprise for you...I was in another pageant (a real one) put on by the lovely ladies of Phi Mu Fraternity entitled the Mr. USCA pageant...thats right you might have already guessed but yours truly is the current Mr. USCA 2008...applause, applause...lol. Thats just a little of whats going on with me, but as always its time for me to get back to this school work, and make these grades so until next time yall be safe and stay out of trouble.

Hey everybody, I hope that everyone had a safe and happy holiday season, and we have now completed our first full week back to school. So that means buying these expensive books and studying for these classes. However I am happy to be back in Aiken, so that I am able to see some of my friends and to get this Spring semester over with, because Im looking forward to the summer...lol. I am still working hard to keep up the good grades and to stay in the USCA nursing program, its getting hard, but its not impossible so I am asking everyone to continue to pray for me and everyone here at USCA as we go through another semester.

Along with a new semester and new classes, we also have more meetings and events that I have to help organize. My fraternity, Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc. will be sponsoring a Male Etiquette Seminar on January 31, 2007, and we will be having an interest meeting for contestants for our upcoming Miss Kappa Alpha Psi pageant. This is just a small portion of the events that we are helping to bring to campus this year, we also have events coming from Pacer Union Board and Aiken Unplugged, so please be on the look out for all of these events.

But I hope everyone has a happy semester, and be on the look out for my next blog entry, so until then people yall be safe and stay out of trouble. test

Well people the last week of the Fall Semester is drawing closer, and you know what that means...thats right, exam time. Im doing pretty well in 3 of my classes I just have one class that Im kind of worried about, but I know that through God all things are possible. Im just trying to study as much as can, and attempting to adapt some of things that I have learned in the classroom to everyday life so that I can get a better understanding of the material, but besides all of that everything is going great. Only one week stands between me and my much needed break. I plan to sit around and enjoy my family and be lazy for a couple of weeks, and I will not, and I repeat, I will not be thinking about school during this time...lol.

Hopefully I will be able to write back before Christmas so that I can wish everyone a very Merry Christmas, but in case I dont get a chance to do so, I would like to take this time to wish everyone a happy holidays, and to tell you to take advantage of the time with your family....kause I know I will. Until next time people yall be safe and stay out of trouble.

Hey everybody, its the day after Thanksgiving and I am stuffed, and I think I gained an extra 10 pounds, but its ok i guess I can stand to gain a couple of pounds...lol. Besides that I hope that everyone had a great break and enjoyed that time with their family and friends, I know I certainly did, It feels great just to be able to come home and relax and be able to talk to your family and have a good time with them. Sitting around the table laughing and joking with one another, and remembering some of the things my brothers and I used to do when we were younger. Its kind of fun to look back and remember much fun you used to have as a kid, and to look and see how you have grown into the person you are today.

It felt great to have my Mom, Dad, and two brothers with me for Thanksgiving, and I am thankful for having such a supportive family, and having a family that cares. But I really enjoyed my break so far, but I know when Monday hits, then classes start again and I have to get back to work, but I would love to hear how ya'lls break went...so shoot me a comment or hit me up with an email, but until next time ya'll be safe and stay out of trouble.

Greetings everyone...I would like to take this time to send a big kongratulations to the newest brothers of the Nu Nu Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc. (Kent James, Marcus Billie, Myke Gibbs, Aaron Doctor, and Theo Oates). So if you see these boys walking across the yard tell them congratulations on making it into "Kappa Land."

I would also like to take this time to thank everyone for coming out to the PSI-lent Treatment, and supporting those oh so pretty boys of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc., and also showing support as we put on the whole production of Kappa Week. We have many more things plan with the addition of our new brothers, so everyone look out for bigger and better things, because as you know....no one can do like the NUPES can.

But in other news Thanksgiving Break is almost here, so that means I can finally get a break from all of this work, so I cango home and get some of that good home cooking. (um huh). So if I dont write back before the holiday gets here I would like to take this time to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving and be sure to save me a plate...lol....until next everybody, yall be safe and stay out of trouble.

Ladies and Gentlemen, how is everybody doing? Ive been a little busy lately dealing with this Nursing School and trying to get everything together for this upcoming Kappa Week. My brothers and have a week full of events all of it leading up to our Main Event the "PSI-lent Treatment." We are asking that everyone come out and support us and get involved with all of the events that we have planned for this week. Last Monday I had my first flag football where i scored the first touchdown of the season (applause)....but after the game and for a couple of days afterwards I was pretty sore because Im really out of shape and them boys had me running from endzone to endzone.

Overall everything has been going great, and I am continuing to do great in all of my classes, just ready for thanksgiving break so i can go home and all of that good food my parents is going to cook. I can just imagine the chitterlings, turkey, stuffing, sweet potatoe pies.....i need stop before i chew throught this computer. But I really do need a much deserved break so that I can recooperate. I just ask that everyone continue to pray for me as the end of the semester draws closer, and I begin to complete my first semester in the Nursing Program here at USCA, but until next time kind people ya'll be safe and stay out of trouble....

As I told yall in my last blog yours truly is celebrating his 20th birthday on Saturday October 20th, its kinda scary but at the same time I feel as though I am becoming responsible for my own actions, and as the day gets closer I start to realize that Im not that immature teenager anymore that looks at life from a selfish perspective, but yet I am starting to see the bigger picture and how I fit into the scheme of things. At times it can be overwhelming to think that Im no longer a teenager, and that I am making that transition to adulthood, but yet I find it gratifying to know that I have been equipped with the proper tools to succeed in life. I first of all give thanks to God for keeping me this far, secondly to my family for giving me a base of support and keeping me motivated to achieve all of my goals, and I also thank my friends for keeping me out of trouble, and giving me a family away from home. Unfortunately I will still be in Ai-Ken for my birthday celebration, but my older brother is coming down to chill me with and show me good time on my birthday, but that all i have for now I'll write back next time to let you about the festivities until yall be safe and stay out trouble.....

Well people its been a while since I last wrote in my journal but, I believe it was well worth the wait. Im happy to announce that Ive passed all of my test in the Nursing School so far (a failling grade is anything below an 80), and I have started my clinicals and everything is rolling smoothly. Im learning alot, and the faculty is always there to offer any assistance that they can, and the experience itself is just breath taking, because I am actually beginning to map out my future. On another I have some good news for all of the USCA students and that is Fall Break is this week and its time for a much needed break from all of this work, so Im going back home on Thursday so that I can see my family and friends, because its been a while since Ive been home. Also the SC State Fair is this week so Im really excited that, because the only reason I go sometimes is for the foods like the elephant ears, polish dogs, jumbo corn dogs, cotton candy, candy apples, etc...(man Im hungry now), but like I said I can't wait to go. Lastly I just want to let everyone know that the Official Countdown until my birthday (October 20th) begins in 5...4...3...2...1..NOW, so Im going to declare it a national holiday (Just Joking). But until next time, make sure ya'll be safe and stay out of trouble....

Hey folks...I know its been a little while since Ive wrote in my blog, but it hasnt been on purpose, Ive just been a little busy with all this work and these activities. This past week I had 2 test and 2 quizes within 2 days, plus I had a series of other meetings and events to attend, but Im glad the weekend is almost here so I can just relax for a few hours. One good thing is that I start Clinicals next week at University Hospital in Augusta, GA, so Im really excited about that. Also another good thing is that Kanye West's album beat 50...so I want to send a congratulations out to Mr. West, and say that his new album is fire, and if you havent got it yet then you are missing out. But people, just wanted to give you a little update on whats going on in the life of Ken, I'll be back a little later to let you know whats good around "Ai-Ken" until then ya'll be good and stay out of trouble!!!!!
