Esta Aqui.

I'm here. I arrived in Humboldt County on Tuesday and already I've gotten a taste of what it's going to be like. I first have to start off by saying that I miss my home. I miss belonging. I miss familiarity. I miss my life. I am optimistic for what's to come and know that God has not forsaken nor left me. I have met some amazing people in my program who are going to be a great support network for me. I'm actually quite interested to see what those relationships will look like. My program itself looks to be a little challenging. I think that academically I'll be alright as long as time management and I reconnect. It actually is this whole idea of internships that stress me out. It is inevitable that I will have to work in the outskirts of town. So far my experience with that has been kinda "Redneck" and scary. I'm not afraid of a challenges, but I think this is gonna be an interesting journey.

I have a feeling I'll be blogging a lot during these next 2 years. A LOT!

Processing my soon to be transition.

Guilt: Feelings of culpability from a sense of inadequacy or self-reproach.

This is so how I've been feeling lately. Work has consumed so much of my life. The fiscal year finally ended on June 30th and now I am preparing to move. Family members and friends have all been feeling neglected.

Now, it's time to focus on the move. My last day of work is August 14th and I leave to drive 16 hours to Humboldt County so that I can start a new beginning to my life as a professional. I guess I should be excited about it but I'm not. I feel like I've been letting a lot of people down lately because I haven't been there enough. I am sick of feeling like I have to choose between friends and family. To be honest I think this pink eye is getting the best of me today.

I guess I just feel guilty about a lot of things, I hope that this doesn't continue for much longer!

She gave me my name!

I'm so over people dying! R.I.P Grandma Yvonne, you'll be missed :(

The King of Pop has Died.

The goal of these blogs are to document the journey of my life. So it is appropriate to note that the "King of Pop" Micheal Jackson has left us on June 25, 2009 from Cardiac Arrest. What is this world coming to?

So in the words of the man that allowed for me to grab my croch freely without my parents being upset, "So tonight gotta leave that nine to five upon the shelf
And just enjoy yourself".

R.I.P Michael!

My First Official Blog

I have to take a moment to thank my friend Miguel for introducing me to blogging.

Here's the skinny...
1. I made the decision every Black woman fears...I went natural!
2. I'm a vegan.
3. I'm moving to Humboldt in August to start a Master's of Social Work.
4. My Best Friend just got married and got a puppy.
5. I'm now 24...which means more weddings and more babies being born :)


I can't even begin to explain how freeing that experience was. Thanks Sister locks!
