• First update post-xanga-pocalypse

  I got asked to cover someone’s shift tonight. It’s good because my hours suck this week, but I definitely could’ve used the chance to get to bed early like I was going to try to do. The last two nights I’ve barely slept and I don’t know why. Oh well, gotta make money. 

  I had some super scary stuff going on on Tuesday and while I still don’t want to go into details I very much appreciate the prayers anyone gave for me. I got spectacular news (especially considering I was fearing the worst), so that was a huge relief. I was so anxious and wound up because of that unspoken thing on Tuesday. 

  This semester I’m going to have to put my scholarship on hold and just take Physics again because last year I made a (high) C and I wasn’t accepted into the program I applied for. If I can pull that up to a B(or even better, an A) I’ll improve my chances of getting accepted by a bunch! Plus, at this point, when I reapply I will have completed World Literature (as opposed to be in the middle of taking it) which means I’ll get bonus points for having all my pre-recs taken already. That’s for the Medical Diagnostic Sonography program. 

  I did look into some other options after I wasn’t accepted because I really didn’t have a back up plan. I’m now also interested in Radiation Therapy. It’s a 12 month program offered at a hospital near me. 

  I plan to only take physics this fall and then in spring semester I will take computer fundamentals and trigonometry (because those will be needed for the radiation therapy program) and hopefully ASL2 and two other classes so I can use my scholarship (need 15 hours to use it). If I don’t use it, I’ll either be required to take a full load the next year at school or I’ll lose my scholarship since I can only put it on hold two semesters. We’ll see how that goes. 

  I’m nervous about retaking physics. At least this year it’s my only class so I can really focus on it and hopefully get an A. This summer my hours at build-a-bear were looking better (partly because I asked them to keep me busy while Trey was overseas and partly because they were still in the process of hiring another associate manager). Now they’ve finally got a new associate manager (she’s been here about two weeks) and my hours suck. I was only scheduled to work 8.5 hours this week and now I’ll have 13 hours (because Kelsey asked me to cover her). 

  I’m going to need to look into getting a second (well, third if you count the nursery) job, especially since I’m only taking 3 hours at school this fall. 

  I wish I could find a good paying job near my house that I’d like. But without a degree or special training minimum wage is about all I’m going to be able to make. Any ideas on how to make big money? I’ve joked about stripping but I don’t think I could ever do that. Especially while I’m with Trey. Gotta keep my body for his eyes only

  Anyways, things are going pretty well right now. Just working at the nursery, working at Build-A-Bear, working out, and hanging with Trey. My running is really good right now (well, indoors running, the heat outside and the concrete kicks my butt) and I’m getting back into benching with Trey. I feel like my benching went downhill a little since I didn’t have a spot all summer, but I’m getting back into it. 

  I kind of want to get into boxing and/or jujitsu. Trey (and his Dad) think I’d be really good at jujitsu.

  Oh, and things are a little tense with his family. I’m pretty tired of them and sort of pissed at them in general. Luckily, they’re fine with me (to my knowledge), I’m just pissed with them. I can’t wait until Trey and I can move out and we rarely have to see them again.
