it's been over a year!

I can't say the time has flown by. But it really has gone pretty quickly. My life and my locs are going places I never thought they would go. I am still in school, and I believe my locs have saved my life. To cut out the half to whole hour I used to spend on my hair in the morning has been a God send. I get a little freaked out now because every now and then I feel something graze across the base of my neck, then I realize it is my hair. I haven't felt that in years. That is pretty fun.

As for school, I am in my next to last quarter at the White Castle of Colleges, and will be transferring to a nursing school in my area this fall. It's hard for me to believe that I have been in school now for two years and my dream of becoming a nurse is this close. God has been so faithful to me. I really didn't think I could do it. I never had the support growing up that would say you are smart you can do anything God puts in your heart to do. Rather, I always felt like the negatives were harped on more than anything. This experience of being in school has been beneficial in manifold ways. Just to name a few. I have learned that I have a great brain and have scartched the surface of how to use it. I have perseverance that I had not tapped into before. And I love science. I would not have told you that in my high school career. Although, thinking back now I really didn't mind it. It was math that I abhorred.

Oh well, I just took a study break to jot these thoughts down. Thanks for checking me out.

Love ya!

P.S. I feel like I always promise this, but truly pics are coming.
