My First Post

A good friend of mine told me about this blog so I decided to set one up for myself. Hopefully in the days and weeks to come, I will have much more to say. In the interim, let me introduce myself.....

I am a 34 year old black (I don't like the term African-American) woman with four children (3 girls and 1 boy) and a significant other of over 12 years. I am a secretary by trade but currently am attending NYU majoring in Healthcare Administration. I am starting my third semester at NYU after a ten year absence from college. Finally, I feel, I am doing something for myself instead of always taking care of everybody else. Sometimes it gets tiring being the short-order cook and maid!

As for my relationship, it could be better but I'm not complaining. He does what he can to take care of us and himself, so it's all good. I'm trying now to secure a full time position at NYU so that I can get tuition remission (one of the benefits of being an NYU employee) because the tuition is outrageous. I've met so many different people there but since the school I attend is mainly for adults, I don't mingle with the younger crowd which it seems is really in turmoil. But that's for another post!

Well, I hope to post soon especially with the kids returning to school. I will have more time to compose my thoughts and really vent on various topics. Until then......
