August and September

It is funny how school starts and I become an alien to my computer. It seems as if everything is a blur because there is school, work, activities, homework, school, work, activities, homework, etc.

I was talking to my cousin and she just completed her Master's degree online. I have always been leary of online courses. I wondered how they worked so I talked to her about it and I decided that instead of getting turned down for every position I applied for I need to finish and do it for real. I know my company have tuition reimbursement and all but I still had to figure out how to fit all of this in my busy schedule. I also needed to figure out how to pay for it. I looked online at work and found some of my employer's "preferred schools." One was Colorado Technical University Online. I emailed the guy for more information and he was very encouraging so I am going to start in November. One class of course, just to get used to it. I "should" be done in about 15 months.
I pray that I can do this because I need it. For my kids, I need it.

A friend of mine moved to the ATL last month and I miss her dearly. It was funny cause it wasn't like we hung out all the time, actually we only saw each other at work but she taught me so much. To look at her you would think she was mean as hell but I saw strength. She was the type of person that found happiness in herself and because of that she was able to attract a good man who was not scared of her independence. When I grow up, I want to be like her. I have had a couple months that was really hard for me and I didn't tell her about it. I thought about her strength through it all and I believe that is how I got through. That and a whole lot of PRAYER.

Well, I think this is it for now. So be breezy!
