The Return of Shaquifa

Wow, so it's been a while. I know, I kinda sold out for Myspace. Say what you want but know, yes, I am a Myspace whore. There, I said it! So much has happened since the last time I wrote, which was before my birthday. My birthday was fun. The summer, slow and boring compared to last summer. I mainly worked in the mailroom. I busted my ass in that job. I NEVER want to work there again! The entire summer is just kinda a blur of work and getting drunk, as bad as that sounds. We had to survive the summer without SB but when she came back, fun was had by all. Will was here a bit in the summer. OOh, he was here when I had to be taken to the emergency room. I got a really bad stomach flu thing and so they took me to the ER for a nice IV. I still have the scar on my hand. I didn't really take any big trips except at the end when I went home for a week and to visit Will in LA for a week. That was it.

I got accepted to the Culinary Institute of America, the top culinary school in the country. I start next year and I can't wait. I keep getting all the stuff to start and everytime I do, I nearly pee my pants with excitement. I just can't wait to be out of this place. I saw my name today on the offical list of graduating students and I keep jumping up and down and pointing at my name. Kids in the hall thought I forgot to take my meds again. I graduate in 2 months and 28 days. I leave Alamosa for good in 3 months and 3 days. And I'll be at the CIA in 3 months and a week. God life is good!

Speaking of which, I have a boyfriend now too. How's that for winning the all the marbles! He's great and sweet and funny, smart, and caring. He's just as much as a dork as I am and makes me smile. Ah, I think I'm really starting to fall for him. Bad huh? Well, we'll see where this goes.

There's more to say but I'm getting tired. I don't think anyone really reads this anymore so I might start posting here again. We'll see.
