Dos

 In case you don't speak Spanish like myself, my blog title means 2, aka week 2! Yes it's already been two weeks! As I mentioned last week I started school Monday & the worst part was the parking! The campus is huge compared to what I'm use to, & they have tons of parking, but that doesn't help anything. I had to get to school 30 minutes early & even though my class was at 9 A.M. the parking lot was packed. I had to park in the last parking spot at the end of the row. Well as soon as I finally made it to my first class & sat down I automatically knew the class I had chosen wasn't right for me. Drawing classes = death. The longer I sat in the class the more I knew it wasn't for me. Let me just say I dropped that class after the 2nd day. I had to lug around a huge brown clipboard looking contraption that was almost as tall as I was. I'm sure people passing me had a good laugh.The good news is with the rest of my classes I actually made some friends! I did become friends with this guy from Texas, but he's a Dallas Mavs so we can only be friends until basketball season. I already notified him of this. It always cracks me up when guys are surprised by my basketball knowledge. I've been doing a lot of shopping lately for my APARTMENT! Yes my very first one! I am so excited! & seeing as it's almost Fall I've been stocking up on my pumpkin & apple smelling products. I have an addiction! My mom is driving up during this month to bring me the rest of my stuff & I can't wait to see her. I've had to call her a lot lately to find out what I need to furnish my apartment. The other day I went to target to find a shower curtain & I couldn't believe how many choices there were! I finally settled on a yellow & white patterned one after about 30 minutes. I could spend all day in Target! Especially the Target located near Legends (the Reno outlets.) Tuesday night as I was getting ready for bed I had a surprise happen, but it was a good surprise. It made me happy. I finally went back to work after 2 weeks! Sunday was my first day & it was a big change. I haven't been the new person for 3 years & being in a new store was a little intense for me. This is when I finally became homesick. I started crying, but I stopped myself. If I hadn't been working it probably would have been bad. On my break I ran into a girl I went to high school with & we caught up. It's nice knowing at least 1 person from home minus my childhood friend Holly. After work was over I decided to pop into the dollar store. I had never really gave the dollar store a fair chance so when I discovered tons of things I wanted I was shocked. I now am a dollar store junky! The rest of this labor day weekend was spent doing homework, going to sushi with Holly, dog sitting for one neighbor, cat sitting for another, & just face timing my friends back home. Corey I talk to everyday, Laquan almost every day, Monyca, Adlc, Alexes, & Rae bear. I've gotten to spend some time with my friends Sam, Katie, & then Holly & her baby Amarah. It's crazy knowing Holly & I have been friends since we were her daughters age. Whenever I have a child (which won't be for years!) they will be friends. I even made a new friend at a church class I went to. Slowly, but surely I will have lots of new friends, but that doesn't mean I don't still need my friends from home. I talk to Corey every day, Laquan, Adlc, Alexes, Monyca, & Rae bear. This guy I've known forever texted me the other night & asked me if he asked me to be his girlfriend, what would I say? I laughed so hard. You waited too long bud! This week has been a rocky one for me, but I made it. Knowing I missed family bbq's makes me sad, but I just spent my day watching gossip girl, doing homework, & going shopping. I keep pestering my mom to book a flight home for me. I'm ready to visit home.  Last night I called my co worker Sergio & he told me that his family had gone to Lotus the other night & they thought about me. I definitely miss Lotus, nowhere can replace my childhood spot. Hopefully the first weekend of October I will be home or the 13th. My uncle Mo is being inducted into the Nevada wrestling hall of fame & he wants me there so I'm crossing my fingers! Now that I've spilt my heart out into this blog post I am tired! Hopefully a lot of people switched their schedules so that parking isn't too bad in the morning. I've learned that the parking in the back lots is smarter. Way more free spaces! I'm leaving you with some pictures. Until next week!

I've decided to start putting the songs I have on non stop onto my blog weekly. This song is amazing. Go listen!
