‘ cause ’cause ’cause ’cause ’cause he sucks at ping pong!

Kelly talking smack was the funniest ever yesterday on The Office. I’m bummed that was the last episode for a while. On another Thursday tv note, I am hoping that was the end of Gizzie. Seriously. Worst couple in the world. It was like incestuous.

Remember when I got that stupid, ridiculous, completely undeserved parking ticket? I bitched about it here. I paid that shit two days, not without whining the whole time while pulling up the city’s website and entering in my information. They robbed me of my money to pay for their own ridiculousness. Obviously, they are not my favorite people right now. That $90 could have went toward something completely unnecessary, like a new handbag or new black pumps.

I also mentioned before that I am switching schools to go for Nursing instead. It just so happens that the new school is out of district from where I live, so my tuition would have been a little more than double had I been in district. Luckily, my aunt lives in the schools district so I now “live” there. I changed my address at the DMV yesterday and got my tuition adjusted.

Hah!

Fuck you, system. You give me undeserved tickets. I cheat you out of tuition. It’s obviously only fair.

(I know the city and my school have nothing to do with each other. Just let me live with thinking I screwed them back, okay? Thanks.)

I am a big fan of sleep. I take naps when I can. I sleep late when possible. I need to sleep well to function, I’m definitely not a person who can sleep for 3 hours and be ready to go. I need my 8 hours, thanks. Especially, working 12 hour days chasing after a 2 year old and soothing a screaming infant. Looooong days. Must…have…sleep.

So why is it that on my day off, when I have nothing important to do but watch Grey’s Anatomy later today (YES. THAT IS IMPORTANT. VERY IMPORTANT, PEOPLE), I wake up at 8:00 AM. WHY?! On my one day off, my one day to enjoy sleeping late, but no, my body obviously will not let me have that. Not cool, man.

Anyway, schedules. I wrote earlier this week briefly that I had a meeting with a counselor for school. Come spring semester, I’m transferring schools. Recently I decided to change my major from education to nursing, no one probably believes me though because I use to change my major like, um…every 3 seconds. Whatever, that is besides the point. Point being, I have to knock out a bunch of science classes before I can start applying to nursing programs. I walked out of my meeting completely overwhelmed. Overwhelmed but ready. I am going to have my ass kicked for the next 3 1/2 years!

Next semester, I’m taking 3 classes, I want to say it’s 13 credit hours. ONE class alone is 6 credit hours. 8 weeks, 3 days a week, 6 hours and 20 minutes each day….for one class. I know, right? I’m also taking a Psych and a Math, which I should have placed out of but considering at 23, I have the math skills of a 5th grader. I most definitely didn’t place out of Math. So Monday and Wednesday I will be at school from 8:10AM-9:50PM and on Thursday from 3:30 to 9:50. Thank goodness the Nurse Assistant class is only 8 weeks, so after those 2 months, my Mondays and Wednesdays will lighten up immensely and I won’t even have to be there on Thursdays. Still, longest school day everrr.

Then until I enter nursing school:

Summer 08 – Bio and another Psych

Fall 08 – Bio, Chem, Nursing 101 and Soc

Spring 09 – Bio, Bio, maybe another Chem

I guess I should enjoy any sleep I can get now, since I sure as hell won’t be sleeping then.

Hopefully next week, I will be picking out my school schedule for Spring semester. Changing schools and switching majors has thrown me a curve ball. Now I have to take all the classes I avoided taking, like Biology and Chemistry but if you are looking to major in nursing, then they are definitely not classes to avoid.

Now, I have the best job ever. I’m a part time nanny and have been for this particular family for a little over a year. The mom doesn’t think with my new major, that I will be able to work for them anymore. I’m really hoping this is not the case. I make excellent money. I work 2-3 days a week. I have the best kids ever. I would be heartbroken if I was no longer able to work for this family. Money and current schedule aside, I love these babies.

I hope next week, class scheduling will work in my favor.

It has to.

I’ve been a bad blogger. I have been running around like crazy and have been so busy, I have neglected my poor blog.

I’m still unsure of what I am going to school for. Seriously, I change my major every three seconds. I think I have decided on something. I’m going to get my Associates in Nursing. I need to look into schools and pick one, get transcripts from high school and the previous college I went to and go see a counselor in the Nursing program. I would love to work, maybe, as a pediatric nurse. Also, after my Associates, I do plan on furthering my education but I think an Associates is a good for now to get my foot in the door. I will probably work and then take classes to get my Bachelor’s in Nursing. Good plan? I think so.

I have a million things to do. I’m trying to talk myself out of ordering pizza since I’m trying to lose weight but I’m not very convincing. I figure I can get pizza then do 500 hours on my elliptical to make up for it.

I swear I am a genius sometimes.
