Having a pretty good day today. I'm off work (both jobs) and school. That's a rarity ( Read more... )

Excellent News!!

CNN.com - Ellsworth Air Force Base gets panel's reprieve - Aug 26, 2005

Even though I no longer live there, I still was hoping they would vote to keep it open.  It was ridiculous for them to even place EAFB on the closure list to begin with.  Just a waste of time for the BRAC commission and it made for a stressful time period for ( Read more... )

Tomorrow is Friday... Thank goodness. I wanted to fall asleep so badly in Stats today... Not because the class was boring, but because I was so exhausted. I came home, ate, and slept from 3:30-6:00pm. I had to go into the store from 8-10 to learn how to close out everything and now I'm home and ready to go to bed ( Read more... )

Had my first class of the fall semester today (at OCC). It's supposed to be 5:30pm-8:15pm every Tuesday. Tonight, he let us go at 5:45. Hey, no complaints here! I think we're going to get out relatively early on most nights because he has a syllabus he handed out and we're only going over one chapter a week/night. The chapters are not that ( Read more... )

Finally got a haircut... Actually looks good. Everytime I go, I always have something in mind and the cut never turns out like I thought it would. But this one actually did. Yay ( Read more... )

I'm so ready for school to start back up.  Have I said that yet?  Surely I haven't...

Went to Bowling Green.  On the drive there, I had these immensely weird flashbacks to when I flew here to Kentucky my senior year of high school from S. Dakota.  My sister and I stayed with my aunt and she drove us to Nashville one day.  I remember the drive on ( Read more... )

This is going to be a good week... My paycheck on Tuesday from the store is going to be around $180, and then on Friday I'll get paid around $450 from the shelter. Not bad! I figure I'll pay my bills and then with what's left over, most will go to pay my Mom back for my textbooks (I charged them to one of her credit cards ( Read more... )

Got an A in my summer course! Whoo hoo! Not that it was a surprise because it was such an easy class, but I can definitely use the help with my GPA. So it'll definitely help a lot ( Read more... )

The world is (unfortunately) NOT PERFECT.

It seems like I spent the entire night at work trying to explain this to people.  I guess from my position, though, it's easy for me to understand the reason we have Breathalizer tests and yet cannot utilize them when suspicions arise that clients are drunk.  This is what happened tonight - a couple of ( Read more... )

I finally registered online for a night class in the fall at the community college. I had originally planned on taking American Goverment on Monday nights, but by the time registration opened up for me (a non-degree seeking student who took a summer course,) it had already filled up. So I opted for the Tuesday night Intro to Sociology course. ( Read more... )
