About Me:

Snellville, Georgia, United States
About Me? Well, I have decided to throw my myself into the vulnerable atmosphere of online blogging. Why? Because as a born-n-raised southern girl, I’ve moved to the foreign country of Miami, FL with no friends, no espanol, and only a job to concern myself, I figured it might be fun to share my experiences. I’ve always wanted to prove I can do things on my own and here’s my chance. I like idea of blogging for a couple reasons. I want to share, and boast a tiny bit, but for the most part, I need the outlet since Im living alone, far away from the comfort of my Atlanta neighborhood. SO pardon the not-so-eliquently written wave of good & bad updates, Miami-themed what-have-yous, and a few expected pictures - all that will essentially tell the story of how I am learning to live on my own. A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones Proverbs 17:22

Back to the Future

As I finish up some online reading for my Sociology class, I am sitting down pondering my life as of now and what is to come, something I do quite often before I go sleep. Must be something about the quietness of the night that allows me actually think straight! No wonder I like to study at at this time - see? it's not procrastination, don't be so negative!

I am back in the United States of America and tonight I am bloggin' about my experiences since I have returned. It has been five days.
I was told in a journalism class that a writer should include something that will attract a readers attention like a pie graph or a bullet list. so another list -
