I AM BACK!!

I said I was going to be writing constantly on my blog; unfortunately, I enrolled in an English class (2020) that was so hard that I found myself crying out of frustration more than once. I usually like school, but I have been going for so long that I am beginning to hate it. I started college in 2005 as a Marketing and International Business major, but I took two semesters off because I could not pay my tuition. I was not as good at school as I am now, and I could not get a scholarship (the only way you can get money to go to school) so I decided to work full time. When I was half way through my major, Mike and I decided that I was going to come to The United States to continue my education. I spent two semesters in the English as a Second Language program and then one semester as a regular student taking general classes. After my first semester I had to again take a semester off because we could not afford the 6000 dollars for tuition as an international student. So that means that I have been going on and off, and at times I feel very discouraged. I am dying to be a mom but at the same time I know that it will take me even more time to finish school and that would break my parents' hearts, their main concern when I was coming here was that I was not going to be able to finish school. I do not mean to complain, but taking classes when English is not my first language is very challenging. Summer schedules did not help either, I had to write a 15 pages paper in one week. I felt like I was not going to make it, but I did it. I got a B+, and if you know me you would know that a B+ plus is not a very satisfactory grade for me. This is my First B+ in the two years I have been studying here, but I am grateful I did not fail the class, and more importantly I did it without Mike’s help. Well, that is the main reason why it took me so long to post something here. I will try to do it more often now that I am done with school until Fall semester.
