It's been a hot minute since I dipped my fingers into this keyboard. I have been on hiatus because I was ensuring my graduation last June, and I'm glad to say that there has been much to celebrate about. The last couple of months has been a whirlwind of emotions and experiences, and it's only recently that I have actually caught my breath. Let me just mention that the entirety of 2018 and the first half of this year was definitely one for the books. I guess my life decided to finally finish a chapter, and now onto newer struggles, peers and insecurities, but definitely a much better outlook in life.

Before anything else I wanted to compartmentalize the important life changing events that happened the first half of this year before moving on to the rest of the newer business I need to face head on. As much as I would love to write a complete novel regarding my endeavor in obtaining my Architecture degree I'll keep it short and sweet with a victory post of my thesis defense day.

I want to give a huge shout out to my very good friend Ian Cruz because of all he did to assist me during that day. I know you probably won't read this because you're actually one of the few people who don't reside online, but from the bottom of my heart I thank you for being the all around friend, PA, and support system that day! Without you I wouldn't have passed my defense. Thanks man!
