First things first, yay for Macs! I bought my macbook Saturday. What a rush! at one swipe of my bank card and half of my savings were gone. My heart hurt.. or was it my wallet... maybe both... but I think it was a good investment. I can't wait to play around with it ;)

In other news, my friend Paola had a baby! Sophia Nicole. What a beautiful baby! I'm not a fan of newborns... too alien looking. Sure, people say they're the most beautiful things on God's green earth, but i tend to disagree. Sophia however is soooo cute! Still a little weird looking, but she is an adorable alien! maybe i'm a bit biased since i feel like her aunt. She's such a blessing. She was not a planned blessing by any means and her parents suffered alot in the first couple of months of pregnancy but it just goes to show you that even events that appear to be horrible and life-shattering have their purpose in our lives, and in hindsight you see what great blessings they turned out to be. So Welcome to the world Sophia! God bless you always and I hope you don't lose your cuteness! hehe.

I'm also going to start FIU this semester. Yay. I'll be there mondays and Wednesdays from 10-1 ( I have a break from 11-12 so holler and we'll do lunch).. Tuesdays and Thursdays from 12:30-2, Fridays 10-12 and Saturdays from 11-2 (yeah, Saturdays.. yuck). I'm really excited to be finally doing something i think i'll enjoy. I started to feel a little overwhelmed already though, because my boss cut my work hours dramatically, since she only needs me to work in the afternoons, and most of my classes are given in the afternoons. I can't afford so few hours... So i'm looking around to see if i can work in the ER's of other hospitals, or in the urgent care centers.

I started freaking out already, but my mom, in her little mom voice told me "no te preocupes, Dios proveera" ... Don't worry, God will provide...So for the first time, i'm actually going to listen and put it in God's hands... see what doors he'll open for me.

I've also been doing this forgiveness thing a big try. For a while now i've been holding on to a lot of bitterness and anger focused on some people in my life. Me, being a dweller, would sit and sulk and put more logs in the fire that was burning inside and slowly sufficating my soul (very dramatic, right?). I started my "quest" is you will, of forgiveness in June. I made a list of people that i needed to forgive and prayed for them. I also decided to talk to them. Not an easy task.. at least for me, since I would rather have to take College Algebra for the rest of my life than to have emotional confrontations and awkward conversations. It's been an interesting journey. I'm still working on some people that i haven't been able to talk to. Mostly because i'm afraid of what their reaction might be. It's my biggest fear to talk to someone, have them know how difficult it is for me, and be indifferent about it. My wonderful little sister told me "Well, if you never talk to them, you'll never know what their reaction might be". Thankfully, the people that i have spoken with have been very open and in fact have asked forgiveness also. It was great. Yay, forgiveness!

Well, I've written too much. Gotta leave some material for the next one. Thanks for reading my venting. Advice and encouraging words are always welcome!... nasty words... not so much.. unless they're funny. ;0)
