So... School
Week 2 of school... I have 9 grades for Health skills, as follows: ( Read more... )I think I should feel accomplished. I have yet to make less than a 100% in anything that actually counts toward my grades. Unfortunately, I have a math test tomorrow so there's a bit of nerves mingling in with that feeling of accomplishment. I have to make an 80% on this test or I will have to retake two of my classes. Now, you will probably wonder why someone who has an 100% average worries about having to make an 80 on a test. Suppose I explain that math is my weakness. That clears that right up. I am sure I will do fine, I am just such a perfectionist when it comes to school. I stress out over silly stuff sometimes. I am really very glad to be back in school. I feel like I am actually doing something that will make a difference in my life and my daughters. I think I really needed that. Now... if I can only get everything else on track, I'll be alright. I am sure it will come in time. | | Tuesday, January 9th, 2007 | | 11:02 am |
Birthday
HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMBER!!! I'm thinking about you today. I Hope your 16th is as sweet as you are. Love you. Current Mood:  nostalgic | | 10:19 am |
Now...
I paid tuition and fees. I also got a copy of my birth certificate so as to renew my imperative IDs. Gotta love having your house packed and move while you are in the hospital. I can't find anything!! Now all I have to do in the next day and a half is ... - Cash my check so I can pay mom back for the ballet stuff she got my daughter - Go pick up my books and get my student ID (30 minute drive each way) - Do my on line class orientation - Go to the Driver License office to apply for a replacement copy - Apply for a replacement social security card - Go to the Title office and apply for a copy of my truck registration so I can sell it - Call the tax office and find out what taxes are involved with used vehicle sale and who pays them. - Let my buyer know that it's taken care of and make plans for the sale - Get timing corrected on new Bug engine - Get my Bug insured and inspected - Go to the grocery store - Celebrate (aka sleep) Current Mood:  accomplished | | 9:37 am |
Frustration...at first
So... I stayed up late last night to try and register for school. Registration was supposed to open today on the 9th so I thought, worth a try... I'll do it at midnight. No luck. So... I call help desk this morning because I had trouble logging in. I get my info reset and get in to the main page. I ask when registration will be up, he says momentarily... well... two and a half hours later I am able to get back through on the help line and he says the registration site is dead and they have devised an alternate way to register and walks me through getting logged in. At least I got two of my four pre-requisite classes that I had to take either this semester or during the summer. These are the two that aren't offered very often and that fill quickly, so I am happy about that. I haven't been able to get the microbiology/pathology class or the ethics class, but those I can take concurrently so I wont panic about that. I'm still debating adding Spanish for Health professionals and/or Growth and Development. At least it's finally begun. Classes start in seven days. I'm ready. Oh... look at my little fairy princess. User pic is my lovely daughter for anyone who doesn't know her. She got a dress-up chest for Christmas and is loving it! Current Mood:  determined | | Friday, January 5th, 2007 | | 2:12 am |
Moved... Stuff... School...
It starts on January 15th... school, that is. I'm excited and nervous. I verified my admission and the release of all holds on my registration account. I reset my internet access and password and browsed the college student services site. It is pretty useful and now I am confident that I can actually manage to utilize it decently well. Now I have to wait till the 9th to actually register for classes. Registration isn't open yet. You would think they would give more than a week... but nope. I am taking fairly easy classes this semester, but they have to do done, so why not...Medical Terminology, Basic Health Skills and Health Skills Lab, General Psychology, and Ethics. At least I think that is what it will end up being. Possibly adding in Spanish for the Health Professional or substituting it if I can't get into one of the other choices. Other possiblities are Microbiology and Pathogy and Human Growth and Development. So... it's school. School is good. It feels good. Leah started Ballet Wednesday and she starts Jazz Monday. She's so excited about being back in dance. I am so glad that I was able to get her back into it. That's another thing that feels really good. I loved watching her dance again. She remembers all the steps from last year, even though she was out for six months. She really is a pretty good dancer and she loved being the little leader in the class. She will be going to dance classes twice a week. That should leave plenty of time for homework and other random fun. She's got a lot of homework but she never ceases to amaze me with her willingness to embrace a challenge. After one evening of new vocab/spelling words, she is 100% on (together, sticks, twigs, camping, above, under, tastes, before, twenty through ninety by tens, and one through ten by ones). I read that she had to be able to read 40 words per minute by the end of the six weeks so I timed her out of curiosity. No problem. I'm really proud of how hard she's been working and how well she's doing. I'm looking forward to spending the weekend with her, though. Having spent last weekend moving, I missed out on spending as much time as I would have liked with her. This weekend I want to find something fun to do. This week's activity of choice has been hover disk. Hehe... my daughter has been running my booty off. It's fun though. Ok, so now that I've babbled a bit, I just thought that I would say that I have internet access again. I've got a new email address that I will be using more often now. If anyone would like the email addy, let me know and i'll get it to you. Current Mood:  sleepy | | Monday, December 4th, 2006 | | 3:19 am |

Moving on...
Well, trying to anyway. I took a look at a new school today. I am currently trying to decide if I will be going back to school for a nursing degree. I have my MA and Phlebotomy, but I am having a hard time finding a decent job. I want more. LVN takes three semesters, RN one additional. I have yet to find out if I can CLEP out of any of the classes. I don't even know for certain if I'll have enough financial aid to make it a reality. I'd be putting my entire tax refund toward the costs as well. Anyway, my parents have given me a very good offer of assistance which would make it possible for me not to work but to concentrate full time on nursing school which is good because the advisor said it takes up 60-70 hours a week of your time. ugh. But, I can do it. I have two more entry exams to take and have to re-file fafsa. Then... Well, I will be alright I think. I'm going to go to advising as soon as it opens which should be right after the holidays. I am doing this with the blessing of my family and my daughter's father. So, once again I find myself not exactly where I want to be, but at least I know where that place is. Now, here's to figuring out how to get there. Oh, btw... I'm currently without internet access, so my posts have been rare, and will be until I regain access. I hope everyone is well! | | Tuesday, May 30th, 2006 | | 5:39 am |
Weekend and update
It was an emotionally charged weekend. I have to wonder if my hormones aren't somehow out of whack sometimes. Oh well... Tomorrow is our final exam for my training class at work. I'm not terribly worried about it. I've made all 100s so far on the exams and I only need an 80 to pass the class. It's just crazy because people are stressing about it. heh. And now I know I've gone and started to grow up because my thought on the issue was something like... "Maybe you wouldn't be stressing if you'd been paying attention." So... to make up for the callous nature of that thought... softy that I am... I emailed a copy of my study notes to the entire class. I'm such a sucker for a hard case. One of my less offensive flaws I think, though. Either way, I just want this week to be over with so I can get up at 6 instead of 5am. Regular work schedule starts an hour later than training. Woot! Also, Leah has a ballet recital this weekend. I'm very much looking forward to watching her dance. She is a graceful little leahbug and I always love watching her dance. I've ordered pictures and I'll post them when they come in and I get a chance to scan them. She was done with school this week and is spending the week till after her recital with my mom. Mom took the week off and Leah loves that, of course. She's looking forward to first grade already, which is funny cause she just finished kinder. I hope she has a good summer. I'm currently looking for a good sitter or daycare for my work days. Going hunting for one today after work. Wish me luck. | | Tuesday, May 23rd, 2006 | | 11:08 pm |
Tomorrow's Scope
Wednesday May 24, 2006 You will be up and down emotionally if someone you like can't make up his or her mind. Don't take a back seat to anything or anyone. Show your strengths, not your weaknesses today. | | Wednesday, May 3rd, 2006 | | 10:59 pm |

Weekend
It was a good weekend, mostly. Minor ouchy to my ankle and a bruise on my hand from helping some good friends move into their new place, and exhausted from working a 10 hour day at work with no relief for an hour and a half after they were supposed to be there... not fun at 5 pm when one is waiting tables. ANYWAY... still looking to take my registry exam and be done with that phase of my life... i hope. So I went to the werewolf game in Austin and had a really good time. I had a very enjoyable day today and got to drive down to my parents for a short visit which was good. SO, despite being about 1500$ in debt, life could definately be worse. I'll keep reminding myself. | | Wednesday, April 19th, 2006 | | 11:12 pm |

Fed Up
If you have friend privleges on my journal it is because I trust you to understand this is my place to vent. If you are low enough to take what I vent on a friend locked post and give it to someone else, then I don't want you on my friend list. I wrote something on one of the hardest days I've faced and you twisted it and handed it off to hurt someone. At least take the whole entry, for goodness sake. Or better yet, just get your nose out. What I said effected nobody and changed nothing. The only possible gain from passing it off was pain. Why do that? Sorry to rant but it seems that lately an abnormally large number of people have been sticking their nose where it doesn't belong. I'm tired of always having to defend myself. If you don't like what I have to say, please feel free not to read it. | | Sunday, April 2nd, 2006 | | 11:15 pm |
Weekend Festivities
The featured game in BCS was a great deal of fun, mostly because I got to see a lot of people with whom I had fallen out of touch and was reminded, once again, what wonderful people wander into our lives sometimes. The game wasn't bad either and all in all, I had a very good weekend. | | Thursday, March 30th, 2006 | | 8:14 am |
Fresh Start
My divorce decree will be signed by the judge on monday. It's already been filed. I am having mixed emotions about this. Mostly, relief intermingled with regret. I'm looking for a new job right now, mostly in San Antonio. I have had some leads, but nothing certain as yet. I'm hopeful. I need a new start. | | Wednesday, January 11th, 2006 | | 10:18 pm |

Well, hell...
There go tomorrow's plans. heh. Thursday Jan 12, 2006 ---------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------- Don't start something you can't finish. Let others do what they want and avoid confrontations. Focus on your own dreams or experiences. | | Saturday, January 7th, 2006 | | 7:07 pm |
Comfortably Numb
I think that someone very near and dear to me has led me down the path to a realization. I think I know why I didn't cry. I'm begining to numb. This too will pass. | | 9:47 am |
Self Realization
What do you do when the realization sinks in that you aren't crying when you know that you should be? When a hope or dream dies, shouldn't I cry? I usually do. | | Friday, January 6th, 2006 | | 7:22 am |
Long Drive
I'm off. I'm leaving too. On the road as you read this. For 12 hours. Sigh. Everyone have a good day. |
