Gotta get away...

For my 20th birthday last year my parents brought the family to a little hotel in Negril, Jamaica for the weekend. If you're ever in the resort area check out Bar-B-Barn.

My own place?

I'm turning 21 in a few months and along with increased independence the thought of me possibly moving into a place of my own (with or sans a roommate) is getting me really excited. I have some great ideas for how I might decorate. Take a look and let me know what you think:

A Promise To Oneself

Promise yourself to be strong,
that nothing can disturb your peace of mind.
To talk health, happiness and prosperity to every person you meet.
To make all your friends feel that there is something within them.
To look at the sunny side of everything,
and to make your own optimism come true.
To think only of the best,
to work only for the best and to expect the best.
To be just as enthusiastic about success of others as you are your own.
To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future.
To wear a cheerful countenance at all times and give every living creature you meet a smile.
To give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticize others.
To be too large for worry, too noble for anger,
too strong for fear and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.

(Christian D. Larson)

So much to do... so little time pt .1

My final year in university-challenging, exciting, bittersweet . it seems as if there are a million things to be done in less than a million minutes(only approx. 131400!). After so many years of having things done for/ handed to me, now it was all up to me to get everything done.

Having made the decision to pursue a career in IT and not really possessing technical skills like my fellow 'techies' , I have about 6 months to get up to par and achieve some level of proficiency in web design, photoshop, C+, .Net, troubleshooting and to increase my knowledge of Visual Basic and Java.

On top of that I only have 3 wks to plan a luanch for my school's MIS Society of which I'm VP (woot woot); 2 wks to co-ordinate a team to complete a project - constructing a network system for a business- oh yeah I'm project manager!; get a+ in all my courses this semester to help bring up my GPA.

In addition, I'm faced with the final year dilemma - whether to enter the corporate world or apply to graduate school. I'll just have to leave that along with all my plans and obligations in God's hands :)

I actually like this modern version of the old classic....

My First Post !!!

I'm Meesha-Ray, a final year MIS (Management Information Systems) student, God-fearing, island girl who at 20 is trying to find herself and her place in this dynamic world. This blog will feature my journey through this experimental time of my life. This will serve as an outlet for my thoughts, likes, dislikes, loves, experiences, ideas and inspiration. Hopefully, my posts will prove my intentions to entertain, give joy and stimulate, successful. Come with me on my expedition to the rest of this beautiful life :) Hope you enjoy the ride!
