This WOULD Be My Luck!!

A lot has happened since my last post and I have not enjoyed practically any of it. So far 2011 has not been a good year for me and there is not a whole lot to look forward to anymore either. You know how I was going to move to Colorado this year? Yeah, well that fell through. Turns out they have an open admission policy but you have to apply for spots in the MLT programme and take an Accuplacer test to get in. They judge you by points and those with the highest points get in! Well I am missing two Anatomy & Physiology classes, a Chemistry class, and a Medical Terminology class in order to have the most points to make me compeditive AND I have yet to take that test & it all would have been needed to be done by 31 March to be compeditive to start in late August. Impossible for me!! So it looks like I'm stuck here for another year. I can attend Wichita State University for a year to get those classes done as well as more to transfer towards my Biochemistry degree at Colorado University. After the year here going to school FOR FREE and recieving housing money I can properly go to Arapahoe College in Littleton for the MLT and after I'm done as I work I can attend Colorado University all on loans. I may even enroll in a graduate school right after that on a loan & then just pay off all the loans once I'm done! I figured people will also be more interested in hiring an MLY without a 4 year degree who is currently seeking a 4 year degree!! I can't wait though to move to Colorado. Chad and I have talked about buying a house in Loveland and the future things... all hypothetical of course... :)
On other notice... I have been sick with insane asthma attacks pretty much all day. I went to the doctor and recieved a breathing treatment etc but turns out I'm not sick... my asthma has just gotten very bad. So I'm on a secondary inhaler at least temporarily (we hope), as well as a pill medication AND a refill of my old type of inhaller all crazy expensive! So now money is insanely tight again... At least I am getting more hours at work with Amanda on Maturnity leave... I neede MORE MONEY... I can't wait to be in a better financial position.
I guess I have to make the most of being stuck here. It snowed a bit today but not enough... When I'm in Colorado I wanna ski, snow shoe, snowboard, snowmobile, and have a grand old time... I may never want to leave!! At least I get my new laptop this year though to start my writing and music to hopefully make some money :) I can't start RCIA to become Catholic til Autumn around here though... So I guess we will see where this year takes me...

Patience is a Valuable Trait...

If you were to ask me what I was worst at in 2004 I would have said patience, in 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, and 2009 I would have said the same thing... I used to always say "God's gonna have to strike me dead before I learn to be patient!!" Well since December 2009 my arm has been bent backwards until i can get the value of patience into my skull!! The lack of patience has gotten me into trouble before... I believe that played a large role in my lack of wanting to wait to finish school... Now I WANT to wait because I know its best!! Through the process of trying to look for a job, in my daily life with Chad and relationaships with others I meet... It always turns out the same... PATIENCE MUST BE THERE!! In order to stay sane and not get compleatly frustrated at life I need to be patient. I am no onto my final session of the Beth Moore Study & I must say that has pushed me to be learning to be patient as well as a number of other things I learned (I will post on the book soon when I finish it). I honnestly feel though now as if I CAN wait for what is to come. Everything will happen when & as it is supposed to!!

I got a lot done today... I got my Post Office Box finally so I can send out my Christmas cards etc as soon as my address labels arrive in like one week... (I have to print my newsletter to send with it and figure out how to do that still). I still don't have my gov't money but it is coming SOON I can feel it!! That, or maybe a job will come. Today I had TWO interviews... The first was with that Salon "Charisma" that I was told was not hiring AFTER I had the interview (who gives an interview when not hiring?!?) so needless to say that was not well. I later however applied to a resteraunt called Cheddars & I got an interview right after I applied because it was before 4PM. I actually feel like that interview went REALLY well. The interview went on for 20 minutes and I did most of the talking. The interviewer seamed impressed with my interview skills & said he seamed like he knew me already. He said he put me down as a server/host on his list & would call me after calling a refrence or two. I hope I get this job... It would be great to finally be employed. If I can work full time hours I will be even happier!! At this point a job is a job though. I have eaten at Cheddars SEVERAL times so I think that would be pretty good... and I like their outfits :)

It has been a productive day... We did get a bit more snow, I want even MORE!!! (Like my snow picture?!? hahaha) I Want a royal WINTER WONDERLAND!!! :) I am sooooo Bloody Excited that I can feel good things coming as I draw closer to God. The future looks bright despite all the difficult things I have encountered in the last 7 or so weeks. I can say that because I have learned to be patient... and I am still learning everyday!! And someday WAY down the road I hope to go back to Uni (when I am REALLY ready) and persue my degree... Things will only start looking up... Even if the job for some weird reason doesn't work out, God is still good & he is still teaching me patience... What a great SKILL :)

I plan to read more of My February book too... Look out for that blog prolly closer to the end of the month... And Smile... Its going to be a great year!!

Toto... Are You Sure its Kansas?!?

This is just a quick update since I gave most of my update the other day and not a whole lot has happened since then. I can say however Chad's automobile has died... AGAIN!! He thinks the alternator has a problem because it is clearly not just a battery issue. But hopefully he will have that fixed next week. In other news today I mostly just did more work on my Beth Moore Study book STEPPING UP and reading of my book for February. I looked a lot at my list of things I want to do before I go back to University and I realised I could probably finish at LEAST a third of those things on the list before 2011 hits if I work at it... and likely most of it by 2012 (except perhaps the craziest things of sorts like Trek the whole continent of Australia!!) haha. I have also been looking at beaches in Bermuda... The cost to go there is fairly low, and it is on my list!! I am thinking about a trip in summer 2011 possibly for my birthday if I have my finances straight then... Regardless, I'm sure my adventures will be loads of fun!! I just hope I have a job soon!!

Tomorrow is going to be a busy day!! I can not stay up too late cos I need to cheque if I can get a Post Office Box and hopefully get all that established, and prepare a cover letter for my resume for the job I had a lead on for Tuesday so hopefully that goes well... And I have to call about my government money, call the local court to establish that I am NOT a resident for there records (seams to be a confusion), and probably pay my credit card bill. Funnnnn Stufff.... I've also asked if my parents can ship me my guitar sometime... I hope to learn to play it & post some singing vids with it on youtube along with other music vids onces I get a working webcam!! :)

Lastly, I just have to say that this snowfall deffinatly puts me in a good mood. I hope to get a dumping like the east coast of the USA is getting!! It may not be much, but it is deffinatly a lot more than I have expirenced being in Kansas before... Just enough almost for me to ask... Toto... Are you sure that we are really REALLY in Kansas?!?! HAHAHAHA.... Hope you like my picture of the pretty snow, and have a good week everyone!! I hope to update again when I have more to say :) I'm back to downloading more music... Til Next Tyme...
