"You hoes!"

Never before did calling inaminate objects "hoes" make so much sense. Until I met Arille Daniela Cireseanu (will-be Moscoso) ;) That's Moscoso not Mo'coso you silly caribeños...lolz.

Anywho, I knew college was a time where you learn about yourself and that the people that you meet there would change your life forever, but I didn't expect it to happen first semester! shiiit. Well, to start off, I never realized how Dominican I was before I met my panita pa' siempre. Apparently, the silent s in spanish actually doesn't exist. Additionally, r's, l's, and i's are in fact separate letters...who would have thought. :D

Despite, she showed me what being a real Dominican is all about--though she seems more Colombiana than anything else! It's great to show pride in your heritage and to have an accent, but there's no excuse for spelling errors and grammatical mishaps, that's trashy, NOT classy...

Ari is the type of friend who you argue with at first, but then you learn better. (She's usually right too...like almost always). So, it's better to quit while you're...behind.

In the semester that felt like a flash and a lifetime all at the same time, not only did I learn about myself but it's like my eyes were opened to the world around me. It's crazy how you can live 18 years thinking you see everything when you really only have one eye open...that's nearsighted with an astigmatism. Ari is like the contacts for my eyes. Pink color contacts! Lolz! I will never forget the time when she and some other friends literally sat me down and INTERVENED into my ignorance. I probably wouldn't admit it then (they were also intervening into my defensiveness) but I was ignorant. And i still am. Not as much as before though! I used to believe that where you come from and how you were raised determines who you are how you should be, but I learned that this couldn't be farther from the truth. People are meant to grow, mature, change from who they were before into someone better. And since then, I've been changing every day. It's crazy how you can hear the same thing your whole life, but not actually listen until you the right person says it to you, the right way.

Now I could spend days, and words and words and words and stories and stories and BOOKS on all our inside jokes (coquetearrr) or the uncanny way that we both look at each other (-__-) after we see something that tickles us (extremely awkward couple after their first date), but for the sake of the readers and my time/sanity, I'll stick to what's really important. Although I never cease to Laugh Out Loud whenever I think about them!

That is my sister, the sister that i never had, MY SISTA FROM ANUTHA MISTA! lol, before i get too extra on everyone, lemme stop and just say to you Pana: I truly mean when I say I miss you like crazy! and I love you (as a brother, Jose!) And girl you know that I say what I mean and mean what I say! :P Arielle, Nico and Kameeka--was our little carribbean-american connection!

I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOU!!

Hope my head isn't up to far in clouds until then...<33>

"HAHAHAHAHAAAAAA HOES MAN!!!!!!"
