From My Heart to Yours

Fees, Deposits, and Obstacles
Apartment hunting is very tiresome. When it is going to be your first apartment and home for the next few years, it is easy to wake up at 9am with excitement written all over your face. After tour number 3 or 4, the excitement quickly turns into confusion and quite probably exhaustion. At that point,

My Crisis, Their Tragedy.
I hate to admit it, but every single one of my high school teachers was right; I miss those days terribly. The only thing I ever had to worry about was the weather (whether or not I wore those jeans last week was another “issue” that I thought about, but that is a whole other

This Is Not How I Remembered The Sunshine State
After a much needed trip home, I am returned to an extremely cold Florida. It is to my understanding that it snowed in Central Florida, North Florida, and South Florida. I am amazed with this. (And a little bit bitter too because I have always wanted to see snow.) Before I left for Jamaica my

Absolutely Necessary
I posted a status on Facebook last night after what I thought was the last straw. The status was about the difference between “then” and “than.” Now before you jump the gun here, I’ve always found myself annoyed with this mix-up long before I took the grammar class. The problem now is that Facebook gives

The Cycle
A few days have passed and nothing much has changed. There are just more developments in my friendship world, and my relationship is experiencing the usual distance factor. The boyfriend left me yesterday (wow it was only yesterday?) to go and play a tournament in Kingston with 4 of his teammates. They should all be

Love & Friendship
I feel like I am having a hard time keeping up with long distance friendships and a long distance relationship. I have been here for a week now, a week that surprisingly did not go by as quickly as I had expected it to, and it seems as if I have not spent any time

Rob Me of My Sleep & Sanity
I missed out on the beach yesterday because I was busy picking up an old hobby of mine; painting. It wasn’t quite the same kind of painting that used to reward me with wall decorations, but it still reminded me of old times. It also required much more work considering I was painting only two

Jamaican Spirit
I purposely tried to avoid Air Jamaica for this trip for more reasons than one. Now I have come to the conclusion that Spirit is no better. Based on my prior blog about the lost case of Jamaica’s airline, I know some of you are thinking that Spirit and AirJa are now one in the

Christmas Shopping & Those Who Should Stay Home
Forget Black Friday; shopping during the Christmas season is the worst! It is bad enough I already do not like to shop, but being in the mall and on the road with such incompetent people is enough to drive me crazy! I spent the last two days between Sawgrass Mall and the area around Pembroke

For The New Year
I have heard that sharing your New Year resolution is a shortcut to not achieving it. Some people say it is bad luck to share it, just as it is to share your wishes at 11 11 and over your candles at your birthday party. I do not believe in luck; I believe in blessings,
