HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!!!!!!!........






Today is my birthday. YAY!!!!!!!!!! I must admit I feel great!!! Especially since I know I have a job now. Its just great to know that things are looking up. Now on my list of things to do is save money. Thats very important because I can take my coding classes that I want which I'm excited about. The classes start in June(June 1st to be exact) and I'm only taking one class at a time. The thing that surprised me when I went to look at the information is that I'm only thaking one class at a time so I'm only paying for one class at a time. That sounds alot better than paying $2000 all at once, which is what I thought I was going to have to do. So I am super excited and can not wait unitl May so I can register for the class. So I can actually say this has been a good week for me, considering its my birthday week too makes it even more awesome. Now I can't wait until the weekend. I get to hang out with my friend and then next week I start working. YAY!!!!!! Just when I thought my life was just getting worse and worse, it starts to get better when you least expect it to. So don't underestimate the power of prayer. It may take awhile for what you want to happen but if you believe and stay positive it will happen. I know I am very thankful to see another year and I can't wait to start this job.



Oh yeah I was also thinking now that I have a job and will have money that I would buy me some skates to help get me outside and to exercise. I don't know when I will get a chance to buy them, but it will definately be sometime this summer.

YES!!!!.......

I am sooooo happy!!! I can now officially say I have a job!! It feels really good to be able to say that. I feel like I have been waiting forever to get a job. I think I have filled out 90+ applications since December and it is just crazy that I haven't heard from anybody. I have filled out over 20 applications this month alone and not one place I have applied to has called me. But yesterday I got the call from the place I previously posted about saying they kept calling me for 2nd shift and that I wanted 1st and only 1st shift. Well, they finally called me for 1st shift and I start next week. I'm am so excited because the hours are from 6:30am-3pm. I can't believe I get off of work at 3pm!! That is early to me considering the last job I had I got off at 5 or 6pm and I came in at 6 or 7am. I really dislike 10 hour jobs. Luckily for me, this is an 8 hour job. So basically this job fits all of my criteria for a job, which is also in a previous post. So this job is a day or 1st shift job, its monday-friday(yay no weekends!), I get off way b4 5pm, and I think that's it lol. But I'm also glad that this job is in the city and I don't have to go out of the city to another town to work. I was also thinking that it would be cool if I got a job b4 my birthday and I did. My birthday is officially tomorrow. YAY!!! I will 22 years old and now that I have a job I feel great. The one thing I have a problem with is trying to go back to school. I thought I could go to the community college, but they don't offer evening classes for my major for some reason which sucks so now I have to go and search again to see what school I can go to next year. I just don't understand how they do not offer evening classes. I don't know what I am going to do bcuz I want to go to a school with an accredited progam and unfortunately its not that many options, but I'm going to try and hopefully I will fine something. But all I know is that I can officially cross find a job off my list of things to do and I can start saving up my money to move and to take the classes I want ro take. I can officially say that a great weight has been lifted off my shoulders and the monkey is finally, FINALLY off my back. I'm just glad that this job finally after a month came through for me. I must admit though it has really been a day to day struggle trying to get a job and live without any money but I am glad that this setback is going to be over.

My future plans.........

I just wanted to write down the things that I hope to accomplish in the future. By writing it down, I can look at it and hopefully it will motivate me to achieve my goals. So I always think about going back to school and what I want to do when I go back. But I don't plan on going back to school until either next Summer or Fall. But sometime this year I hope to be able to go take some Medical Coding classes so that I can get a certificate for that. Then after that, I plan to take some American Sign Language(ASL) classes. That is, if I have the money to. Then I plan on going back to school next Summer or Fall to get an Associates Degree in Health Care Administration or Technology(which ever one the school I go to offers). Hopefully I will be able to go to the Community College to get my Associates. Then I can transfer to the university and get a Bachelors Degree. Then I will decide on if I wil get a Masters. Then if I decide to go back to school when I'm a lot older, like late 30s or early 40s, I might go back to school to major in ASL. That's what I wanted to go to school for first, but now I really want to go to school for Health Care Technology. But we will see what happens because I have been interested in ASL for years now and right now I'm
teaching myself how to sign. It is definately a hobby of mines. So who knows if in the future if I will go to school for it
I hope I do but we will see because by then I'm hoping to be married with kids and my family will probably be occupying all my time, but anything can happen.

its been awhile......

It has been awhile since I have posted anything. Not much has happened since the last time I posted. I'm still, unfortunately, looking for a job. But I still continue to pray that I will get one soon. As a matter of fact, I just got a phone call the other day from this place I use to work for. They called just to verify if it was the right number to reach me at and that they would probably call me this week about a job. Now I find this very strange because they were the people that fired me back in December and why I am unemployed to this day. It just seems really weird to me that they would be calling me considering they fired me. But all I know is if they offer me a job I would be a fool not to take it considering I have been unemployed for over 3 months now and I am in serious need of some money. As much as I would take the job, it would still scare me to have it because I would never know when they would decide to fire me out the blue again. It would seem like a big risk but its a risk that I would be willing to take. So we will see what will happen with this. I just hope I do get hired back as much as I have reservations about it, its still good money and I just really need money right now. The plus side would be getting to save the money I need to take the classes I want to take. Anyway, before that news came I was also thinking about taking a job of delivering newspapers. I thought it would be a cool thing because you can make decent money by only working about 2-3 hours every morning. That would work out perfect for me since for some reason I'm always up in the early morning watching tv or listening to music. But like I always say, I will just have to wait and see what happens. I'm praying for a good outcome and hopefully will have something before March is over.

Crush part1



Who else out there have crushes on famous people? I'm just going to call them not-so-normal people because they are just like us but in the limelight. I don't want to say I have a crush on a celebrity or famous person. But growing up I can not tell you how many crushes I have had. Some of them I'm a little embarrassed about now because they were much older and I was just a kid.




I'm crushing on Marques Houston. I love, love, LOVE me some Marques Houston. He was so cute when he was a
kid and now he is a sexy man. His girlfriend is very lucky. But I love him and his music. I'm still a big Immature/IMX fan. I keep messing up my cds and have to buy them over. I had to buy 3 of there cds 3 times I keep playing them over and over. My favorite is definately "We Got It" I can listen to that over and over. That's my favorite cd for the summer. I can't get enough of watching his movies. My favorites are "You Got Served" and "House Party 3." I was also a HUGE fan of his tv show "CUTS" I had to watch it every week and I still have it on tape to this day. Because I made sure to record it. I knew when they stop playing the show that I would never see it on tv again, which I was right so I taped every episode I could until they stopped airing the show. Loved that Kev Care song. "Run your fingers through some Kev Care" lol.






Still no luck.........

We'll so far I'm still not having any luck in the job department. I was so close to having a job but everybody who applied, including me, wanted 1st shift. So the guy who hires says it will take longer to get on if you want 1st shift and quicker if you get on 2nd because barely anybody has applied for 2nd. The thing that makes me mad is that everytime the guy called he kept talking about putting me on 2nd and I have told him every single time that I wanted 1st. The last time he called me he started talking 2nd shift and I told him twice before that, that I wanted 1st shift and only 1st. There is no way I'm taking 2nd shift because its from 3:30pm-2am and I am not trying to go to work in the afternoon and get off in the early morning. I thought about it for a while and I thought "how would I be able to go out or do things if I'm working this time"? And "it will be impossible to be able to go to school working this time"? So I couldn't do it. I'm feel like it is hard to get a 1st shift job. That's all I want. I can go to work in the morning and get off in the afternoon and when I'm ready I can go to school at night. I just hope things work out. I have been unemployed officially for 3 months now and I am getting very tired of not having a job. I at least applied to 5 different jobs yesterday. So I see it as, the more I apply to, the chance I'll have at getting hired somewhere. I'm definately trying to keep the faith.

I know this may sound picky but I have a criteria of what job I want. And if the job doesn't meet the criteria then I don't apply to it. Here's my criteria:
1.) Has to 1st shift/day job
2.) Has to be 8 hours
3.) Has to be Monday-Friday
4.) Can't get off no later than 5pm
So basically if I can't find a job that meets my criteria than I don't want the job, but I would work weekends even though #3 says different but I would only want to work a couple of hours and not 8. Maybe once I can get a full time job I'll think about getting a part time job during the weekend. But it will be a long time before I decide that. The only thing I'm thinking about now is getting a full time job and hopefully my wait and search will officially be over soon.

Nice...........

It is a very nice day outside, but what am I doing? Nothing. I'm just sitting in the house when I could be out enjoying the weather like everybody else. But if I have no where to go, obviously I'm going to stay in the house. I wish I did have something to do. It wouldbe nice to have something to do on thw weekend for a change. Maybe one of these days I will. But for right now, I staying in the house.
