Greetings to my Family

Hello Everyone,

Since I have had my pc, I have primarily only used it for school and downloading music. I email more frequently than before and occasionally get the urge to "surf" the net. I am on a short break from school and decided to use this time to "break my technological shell"! Ok, so I am trying this blogging thing out...I'm a newbie so please bear with with me. I promised my mom I would post a message to the fam to let you know that I am still breathing.

I was not able to spend as much time as I would have liked to while most of you were here for the holidays. For the past year my social life has been pretty much non-existent. I am currently studying to obtain a Masters degree in Human Resources Management. As of today, I have 4 more classes, of which I begin the next on January 27th. This program has been a lot harder than I expected, but I have learned a lot and am grateful for the opportunity. My parents, grandmother and Alfred have been major support systems for me lately because I have really been struggling. Staying up sometimes until 3 or 4 in the morning, if I'm fortunate. Sometimes I'm going to work with no sleep at all. But at the end of the day, I wouldn't change it for the world. This program has really helped my excel mentally at work; I just have to pray that it will pay off.

The only thing that I would change is the time I have missed with my family. I want you all to know that I love you very much. Without you, I wouldn't be here today writing this message. Each of you are special to me in your own unique ways. I am especially grateful to Yomi for initiating this blog as an attempt to keep our family connected. Crazy how technology seems to act as a common thread through all of our lives! It is my goal for 2009 (resolutions are so overrated...!) to improve communication with my loved ones my any means necessary.

Well ya'll, I may have blogged enough for my first try, but this is actually kinda fun. So, I am going to sign out for now and will blog again in a few days with anything I may want to share. Again, I love you all and hope to hear or see you soon!
