Hello Kitty Love!

Valetine's Day was awesome. Very Hello Kitty themed!
I love all the pink, and red and sweetness. It's so much fun!

Grad School

So this semester is super easy. One online 3 hour class and full-time job. I got my book from HR today and starter my class. Lesson 1 of 10 complete. It all seems pretty easy, but at least it'll help me get my reading up to shape so that when I go full-time school and work next semester I won't have to take as long reading.
Overall I'm pretty excited to actually be getting started!

Grad School!

So now that I have a full time job that I actually like, I get accepted into grad school. Should be cool, only now I'm stressed. Tomorrow I pay my deposit and call my advisor to work out a 1 class schedule for part time course work. Get started little by little so that I can start getting some credit and hopefully work out some better hours at work come June or August. We'll see what happens. For now, I've figured it out. Next semester we'll see.

I've been dumb! Unbelievably dumb, and now I must write about it, since this is the only thing distracting me from my inability to sleep and I have to sit up to drink hot liquids.
I felt tired and achy last week or two weeks ago. I ignored it, thinking "it'll be fine!" Yeah, it never is! Then I felt a sniffle while in Kansas City for two days, and a tad of a throat tickle. I thought, "meh, I'm just allergic to something and my throat is reacting to the sinuses. Now, I've been falling down sick for three days and had to take off work. I feel dumb. Clearly, when I'm starting to get sick, I should rest more!
On top of feeling dumb, I also hurt, can't breathe, have a sinus headache, a sore throat, am a tad dizzy (coming down from unbelievably so just an hour ago) and have a fever. Isn't life grand?
Hopefully I'll be all better after I rest and have plenty of fluids today. It would be nice to be all better tomorrow!

Dodge Caravans suck! I mean really the little minivan has served me well and done a great deal of good, but seriously....the key just not turning? Oh and it's a common problem. Great! Feels good to know that every other Caravan owner out there knows how I feel. At least I got really luck....this nice older gentleman from the locksmithing place came to our house, at something like 9:30 pm and fixed my car. My key now turns. Oh and unlike the price tag of $200+ I had been expecting after some serious internet research, he chose to fix the parts in my car, not replace them and charged me less than $100. I guess that's a much better deal. Especially since I think his work will outlast the usefulness of the rest of the car.

This weekend is going to be so much fun! I've never been to a baby shower before, and so this is exciting. Shannon and Eric's baby is the absolute cutest little thing, and I can't wait to see her wearing the cute little things we bought her. She's is the most darling little baby! Saturday should be great and I'm very excited!

The real world is far less scary than it first appears. I just wish I could be done with working two jobs at the same time. Job Point is getting increasingly tedious and I just don't feel like doing any of it anymore. My boss nags too much, the bureacracy is ridiculous and they're not upfront about it. At least working for Dr. Marsden the red tape is out in the open and I know what I'm facing. I have to say I'm glad I went into business, I'm glad I got this job and I'm very glad that I'm good at what I do. The last few months have been a bit hard. I always feared that I would be no good at business and that I had chosen the wrong path. Now that I'm doing it, now that I'm immersed it's really not bad at all, and I find myself to be quite adept at it.
On another note, my new apartment is awesome, my kitten is snuggling me and I'm very happy. On the bad note, there are boxes and bags all around the bed, the washer and dryer are still broken and nothing is settled in. I hope that by the end of the month it's all worked out and settled. I just want to iron out the kinks and enjoy my life as it happens.

Though there's lots to stess out about I'm actually very excited. Work is great and Friday I get to start my new job, which is super exciting. I can't wait. I think I can learn a lot here and it'll actually be great for me as a person to do this. This weekend will be really fun, and then at the end of the month we're moving. The new apartment looks amazing! It's absolutely phenomenal and I can't wait to move. Though it's stressful, at least I'm kind of getting it all under control!

I think I worry too much about some things. What can you do once you've done everything that was in your hands are left to wait? Well if you're me you can worry. A lot! I'm getting tired of not knowing. I think not knowing is the scariest and hardest time. Because good or bad the news makes it easier to plan and make decisions and deal. Not knowing is like hanging in limbo waiting for all the facts to make a decision!
I hate it. I'm glad that there's only a little while left to the not knowing, but I wish I could speed it up. Instead I'm just freaking out, stressing and overthinking everything. It's these moments that I questions whether I'm good at anything and it sucks. I just want to feel more secure in the stuff that's going on....
Oh well, all I can do is sit back and wait. And update my facebook constantly with a slow agonizing countdown! One week or so until I know.

This weekend I'm driving home with my small TV in the van and after 2 services at church and two days with my parents returning with a much larger TV! Yay.
The weather could be better but since it's spring and no longer frozen I won't complain too much.
I'm still anxious and waiting to hear from Mizzou. I just hope all goes well. Wish me luck, though like a friend said, it better just be one of my many skills and I'm sure it is.
Happy Easter!
