I know it's been a while since my last post, but so much has happened in the last few weeks. As you can tell from the picture on the left, I finally graduated. After returning back to school after sooooo many years away from classrooms, lectures and exams, I received my BA in Journalism (YEAH!!!) and I'm so excited. My parents and extended family were in the stands cheering my on, although I couldn't spot them (20/100 eyesight)... but they all assured me they were screaming my name. One of my cousins even lost her voice; when she called me the next morning, I could barely hear her (how sweet). Anyway, my graduation was a blast. After the ceremony, my family joined me and my parents back at my place for a couple of bowls of delicious gumbo that my mom cooked, cake, gifts and good-ole family bonding. The following day I had a celebratory dinner at one of my favorite restaurants and on the following Sunday, I did absolutely nothing. Let me tell you, that felt great. So now I'm a college graduate and I'm totally ecstatic about my accomplishments. Now, I need a job. So, now one chapter has closed in my life and another has begun. This blog may turn into a journal about me seeking employment. I'm also ready to leave Houston, so that's a little tricky trying to find employment in another state when I'm still here in the big H, but I'd like to think I'm resourceful enough to make it happen. Coming up next... my voyage to a new monthly salary. Wish me luck!
