This is the story of a Malagasy and a Texan. Both former ACU students, Spencer now resides in San Francisco and Laza in Little Rock. This is the sharing of post-ACU experiences and how life working at a Big Four accounting firm in San Francisco compares to the life of a grad student in Little Rock. Let life begin!

Your love is my drug... NOT

The first few weeks in Little Rock have been OK. I am actually starting to like it here. I have found friends, a church home, and some other friends... so all is well in the life of Laza.

This past weekend was one of the best in my life. You may all wonder why. Well, I was able to have a 5-day weekend... Yes, 5 days doing nothing academic. With this awesome free time in my hand, I made the decision to drive down to Abilene!!!!! Heck YEAH.

It gets more interesting and I am going to tell you why.

First, I made a stop in Plano to meet my beautiful and babelicious friend Esmeralda. She agreed to come on the impromptu adventure with me.

Things got a little crazier when I realized that I was going to see Justin Sims, who just moved back to Abilene... and another friend, Denton Josey, who I have not seen since he left the U.S. two years ago to teach English in Korea and India.

I also got to see almost all of my guys from Mabee Hall. I have missed them SO MUCH. They did not even know I was coming in town. It was so weird because a few of them made a short movie to show everyone the night I arrived. I happened to show up at the "World Premiere" of the Razors 80's Skooterz and got a round of applause from everyone in the room, which there were about 45 students in the room. I shed a tear of joy. It was so good to come back to a place where you feel people's love for you.

There were so many events happening that weekend... Ihop at 2am, getting to see my sister, ISA Chai Cafe, sand volleyball, soccer, slumber party, deep conversations, chapel, Austin's birthday, house church... It was the bomb of a weekend, but somehow, I was ready to get back to Little Rock....
