True taste of Freedom

Tomorrow I have my final for Microbiology which will be the last class I take at SMC. The day after that, on Thursday . . . I am getting the ultimate taste of freedom. Having attained my driver's license and a real job was definitely a benchmark in that culmination to freedom. I've been talking (maybe not in the blog) but I've been wanting to go to Mexico from the minute I found out I would be getting greenie, it has been 17 years since I was in Mexico.

On Thursday I'm leaving the U.S. I wish I could say it was go to back to see family, unfortunately due to time and money constraints, a trip to Tijuana is all we can afford. Even though I talk about Tijuana not being Mexico, this is going to be the one time I let it slide . . . obviously it won't be the same feeling as it'll be when I hop on a plane and actually go to what was once my home, but going into what is technically Mexico is going to be a hell of a whirlwind. The excitement kicked in today and I have had a really hard time focusing on this class.

I'M LEAVING THE U.S. FOR A DAY!!! It is the ultimate test. There are so many levels to this culmination to freedom.

MUCH LOVE!!!

I'm so excited, I had to get that out there.

  1. Maria, you're kinda inspirational. I didn't know you were going through all this during our time at UCSB!

    That said, I'm revved up to do something to help. I've already sent psychic hate mail to Jan Brewer (racist psycho woman). Pretty much anything short of marrying someone. Or maybe marry someone, hell I'm going to be a spinster forever anyway (ahhhahaha..)

  2. aw thank you! Jan Brewer just needs enlightenment which she will never get, but that's the beauty of life, not everyone deserves to see life from our POV.
