So, fantastic news!

I've started school again. I cannot even began to explain how fantastically happy I am to be the first lady in my family to go to a further education school. I will be the first woman in my family to have a degree, and no words can truly express how much that means to me. I want to make my family proud of me, but more than that, I feel proud of myself.

Work is going really well. I've finally got the hours I need, and the respect that I deserve in my workplace. Gotta say that persistence and reliability has paid off, and I totally deserve the brownie points I've scored with my boss for covering so many shifts the past few months.

So that's life. Mostly just work and school.


On that note,

This is a message for you.

And sometimes I think you don't know who you are--

But if you do, and you ever read this.

I am so happy to know you, I am so happy to be called your friend, and even from this distance--

I'm shooting for you.

You are a perfect human being, mi nuevo dulcito.
