I'm one pretty excited lady right now.
I decided to try to test out of Info tech and lit. annnnd I passed the proficiency exam.

I went to the interview that I had for the telephone answering service, and I got the job. However, I have to be trained...and their training is M-F next week from 12-4:30...and I can't miss classes Tuesday and Thursday...so I have to wait till they do a night training session.

Happy Halloween!!

Just another Monday

Today was pretty exciting, well...in comparison to a normal day at school. I went to see Dr. Tooke about TAing for History and Modern Systems of Psychology, before I even got in the door he asked if that was what I was there for. Needless to say, I left his office with the TA position.

Not only did I get the TA position that I had been wanting, but I also may have a job. I applied for a position as a telephone agent [taking orders for items sold on TV and such], and I got a phone call about two ours after I filled out the application to set up an interview. On Wednesday I'm going in for an interview, and with any luck...I'll get a job.

I seriously need the $$. I want to possibly spend Christmas down south with my family, and buy my pretty car from Bryan eventually. I've been wanting to get a new car for a while [since the Geo has lost my interest]...and I love the car that Bryan is going to sell. Hopefully this job will come through and I can start saving up some ducks [or uhm...bucks...haha].

Annnd, I met with Dr. Gaeddart [my advisor] to go over my schedule for next semester. I need 16 credits to graduate. The only mandatory classes that I have are one upper level Psych course [Human Learning and Memory], A Global Issues course [Health], and then 9 credits worth of other courses. [Plus my info tech and lit. credit, which I'm going to try to test out of on Friday and my Senior Exam]. For the 9 other credits...I'm getting 3 for TAing the course I mentioned at the begining of my post, annnd possibly doing field work, plus taking some kind of child/family development course.

And that, is that.

I have my advisment meeting today. I'm pretty excited about it...I get to plan my schedule for my last semester of college as an under grad. It's hard to believe that I only need 16 credits, and then I'll be a college graduate.

I need: Human Learning and Memory, Info Tech and Literacy, Heath in Contemporary Society, and 3 other random classes for the credits. I think I'm going to speak to my History and Modern Systems professor and see if he needs a TA for next semester (since I have an A in the class, and I've TAed another class for him before).

Other then school, there isn't really too much exciting going on with me right now. Other than my new resolution to complain a whole lot less, and be thankful for what I have. I've kinda noticed that there are certain people that complain, constantly...and it just doesn't make much sense to me. Granted, sometimes in shitty situations complaining is understandable, but when you start complaining about the weather every day and it isn't even half bad outside, I think you need to take a break. To cut to the chase: People who complain every other time they open their mouth irritate me just a little bit.

Life is good. The shitty parts are there to remind us not to take things for granted, they're there for us to learn from. Embrace all of it...don't sweat the small stuff.

Look at me, gettin' my blog on.

Oh lawdy, I have a new site to waste my time on. This seems like Xanga, but a little more "grown up".

We'll see if I actually update it, Haha.
