It's done!!

I said during last class that I was happy blogging was done! I felt like it at this time and now I realized I will miss my teacher Professor Beard! She is such an inspiration to me. It was my second class with her and I learned so much about computers and Internet. But I'm so proud to see a young successful black woman sharing her knowledge and be involved with her students ( as long as you show up for class and do your work). She gives advices not only on the class she is teaching but also on life in general. Her class is not stressful but she stays fair and impartial.  I want to be her when I grow up lol!!
I really need those 10 days break before next term. đź’†I can use that. I don't have anything crazy to share as my last blog beside: there is no substitute for hard work, there is no short cut to heaven and success is a journey, but a destination!! We have to go through things to be the persons we are. And everything happens for a reason, good or bad. There is nothing God gives you that you can't handle.
I want to say "thank you" to you Professor Beard for teaching me and contribute to the person I want to be and the person I will be. You gave me a tool that money could never buy: Knowledgeđź““And I know that's one more key I add on my "success"key chain that will open another door for me. It's my passport to success land!!
Simply Thank you! 👏

Almost there!!

I can't help but keep thinking that I only have one more term before graduate!  I have so many plans for this coming summer. Before the ceremony that I intent to be, I hope I can save enough money to go to Paris visiting my best friend. Maybe going to Gabon visiting my family. I just want to have fun!
It is weird that after 2 years I feel more pressure than when it started school. I have too much going on but I 'm exited at the same time. Can 't wait to find my dream job and establish myself. I think I will wait maybe 6 months before to start with my bachelor program. I don't want to see a book for some times.
I hope I will reach most of my goals this summer. I really want to be done with school, but at the same time I know I will miss it. But I hope to be busy so I won't feel it. I met interesting people. I made friends, enemies but the most important is that I met people that I know will be in my life for a long time! Hopefully! I met mentors. People that I can rely on in many ways. And it feels good to know that you have someone to talk to and get some genuine advices. I don't have my family and friends with me here, but I know I can lean on them.
Thank you again!!

It's so good!

I'm at home after my Algebra class! This class is killing me. I bought some fish.  I'm cooking a dish called Tchep Gen. It's from Senegal. It's a dish made of fish, vegetables and red rice. I remember loving it back home. Damn it was good. Just hope I can make it work even thought the ingredients are kind of different. You can't duplicate the real thing.
I just pour myself a good glass of Margarita.  Feeling tipsy. But God knows I needed it. Too much stress school called me at school today and I have to leave class and rush pick up my daughter who was sick.
However, I will enjoy my dish. It 's sometimes a good way to reconnect with my roots. Especially when my mom comes to visit. She brings me food  and ingredients from back home. So I always have some stuffs to make a real good dish. I remember how good it was to eat things from my back yard. Fresh and healthy. Since I got here I eat quick food and I start getting weight so fast. I need to work out.
I like to cook healthy and fresh food. It's so simple and so good. I understand that it's really hard to cook at home because of the American life style. Always on the run. But I take every chance I get to cook for my family.
