School is back in session.

Well I'm  not going to lie, I really enjoyed my two week summer vacation. I worked for both of the weeks, but not the entire time. I did get to go to Galveston for a few days and saw the beach the bluest I have ever seen it (thanks to our lack of rain).

Galveston.. can you believe it?!

Again, a lot has happened since my lost blog post. I found out that I will be attending The University of Houston in the spring. I am WAY pumped!! Kinda freaking out how I am going to pay for it, but I'm sure it will work out. I am very thankful that they have community colleges like HCC. I love the smaller class sizes, the fact that I can get my core classes done there and save a ton of money (all at the same time)! When I graduated from high school, I can definitely say that college was not the place for me at that point in my life. Like I have said in my other postings, I appreciated school so much more now, than I did in the past (I'm sure it helps that I am paying for it, but that's besides the point). I am just ready to be back on a college campus. Last Saturday I got to attend my first U of H football game (and they won.. woo hoo)!! My seat was SO close! As I was looking around at not only the students, but the people watching the game, my excitement for getting an opportunity to attend this TIER ONE University gave me goosebumps. I have truly come a long way since I graduated high school in 2003. 

TOUCHDOWN!!

I started school almost two weeks ago, and I am glad to be back. I like keeping busy, and I felt guilty for enjoying my break. I am currently taking four classes (cultural anthropology, bio 2, western civ 1 and British Lit). I am considering taking a fifth during the second 8 week session. This semester is going to be quite busy. Almost every Saturday I have an assignment due, and numerous Saturdays throughout the semester I have at least two essays due the same day. EEK! Oh well.. BRING IT!

 As I end this blog, I want to remind everyone that September is prostate cancer awareness month. Whoever reads this blog, please encourage your dad, uncle, really any male that is over the age of 40 to start getting their psa level checked. Prostate cancer is treatable, if caught early (most of the time). My dad has had cancer now for 8 years, and he HAD been getting his psa level checked. I know y'all are thinking, "damn she always has to mention cancer in her blog", sorry folks. Cancer has affected every member of my family in some way. I am truly thankful for the advancement in medicines, which have allowed my father to still be here today. Below is a picture of my parents at my cousin's wedding. My parents are my heroes and I love them very much. They are both fighters, and I am truly thankful for that.

Until next time..
