Long time....

It has been about 3 months since I last posted. Where is the time going? Well I don't think a lot has been going on. The Spring semester will be over at the end of the week and I hope I can make it through. I came out of one class with a B- so now I am just waiting on this last class to finish and find out what my final grade is. I just need to make it out with a C+ and I am at the border line with a C. I was just at a 71% which was a C- and I was 6% away from getting to a C+ but now that my final project was done I got all 100 points for it so I am excited I am currently at a 76%. Now I am a smidgen away from getting that C+. We had one more forum post to do which I am done with and it is due today by 5. The last thing we have to do for this class is the final exam and hopefully I will do okay on it but as long as I can get that C+ I will be happy. I should know by the time I do the final. I am just ready to start focusing on the next semester which is Summer for me. I am not getting any breaks until hopefully next summer so I'm trying to knock out the last of the classes I have and I only have 3 semesters to do them in if everything goes well. I am signed up to take 3 classes this summer but I am trying to add one more if I can sign up as a guest student at the community college. I can't believe this is the last week of the spring semester and the summer semester starts next Wednesday. I still need to find out about my financial aid for the summer so I should be looking into that quick and I need to find time to get my books. I am ready to get started and get summer over so that I can get to the Fall semester then I can do next Spring after that I will be in my Junior classes then my Senior and I will be ready to graduate. I hope I can make it to that cap and gown moment that is all I want. Hopefully these semesters will fly by.

Hot guy....

There's this guy I work with and I think he is sooo hot. I don't see him everyday but when I do, I sure get happy. We talk sometimes and joke with each other. He is a cool guy. The sad thing is I know I would never have a chance with him. He is a little younger than me and I usually don't go for guys younger than me like that but I would make an exception for him just to see where things went. He's single and has no kids so I would highly doubt a guy like that would be interested in someone like me who has two kids. He sure is nice to look at, has a nice smile and he wears glasses which helps make him more attractive. It totally makes my day when I see him. I guess all I can do is daydream about him since I know I wouldn't have a chance in hell with him but it sure would be nice. I know there's a guy out there for me somewhere. When we'll be together, no ones knows....

Organization dreams....

For years, I have always thought about joining a sorority. It has always been something I wanted to do. I have always had two that I was interested in but one that I really wanted to be apart of. Within the last couple of days, the thought of joining one has came into my mind and I started looking some stuff up. I found a blog by a lady who is in a sorority and she gives tips to aspiring entrants as well as share her experiences. Some of the things you have to do to even be considered to join one is have a gpa of 2.5 and have a background in community service. So this year, I am planning on getting my gpa up by making sure I am getting through my classes with passing grades and I am getting involved with community service. I have actually wanted to be involved with community service and volunteerism but never knew how to go about it. I started looking online for places to volunteer at. I have found 3 places that I plan on volunteering at. I have already sent in applications to 2 places so I just have to wait to hear from them. The other place I plan on volunteering on Saturdays and they have opportunities for one Saturday a month. So before I register I need to make sure I don't have to work that weekend. If I don't, I'll sign up and see how it goes. If I like it, I'll sign up again for next month. The other two places I applied to, one of them I planned on helping one or two Tuesdays a month and the other place I signed up to help on Thursdays and Saturdays, so I can do one or two Thursdays or Saturdays a month. The Tuesday and Thursday one I can just take those days off of work. But that is definitely one of the reasons I would love to be apart of a sorority is the volunteerism. The other reason is the life long friends part. It would be awesome to be able to have friends who would be like family. I already don't have many friends especially friends to go out and do things with or even talk on the phone and confide in. That is something I would love more than anything is to have real true friends. We'll see what happens. I don't plan on trying the sorority thing until the next Spring semester so for now I'll just focus on getting my grades up and volunteering. The one thing that scares me is the having to get a recommendation letter from an active member of the sorority you are interested in. I wouldn't know how I would go about doing that unless I was able to get involved some way on campus and I just happen to meet someone. I don't know how that part is going to play out but I have a while to figure it out. I hope everything works out the best way it can.

House plans....

This year I am wanting to buy a house if possible. Since it is tax time, my plan is to use my tax money on getting my credit report cleared off so I can get my score up. Once I do that, I can hopefully start looking for a house. I just don't want to get another apartment. I am sick of apartment living. I want a place I can call my own. A yard my kids can play in everyday. I have been looking for houses and I found one that's a pretty nice size. Its an over 3000 sq ft house with 4 bedroom and 2 and a half baths. It also has a living room, a family room, a loft and a den so plenty of room to run around in and have privacy. It says its going for $109,900 right now and hopefully the price will get lowered again soon. I just hope no one tries to snatch it up before I get a chance. It also said it needs some work and who knows how much so that's something I would have to look into if I get the chance. If I have a chance to put an offer in, I will definitely try to low ball it. That is, if it doesn't need too much work but it seems like a house that is too good to pass up. I'm surprised no one has put an offer in for it yet. It has been on the market since November. There are other houses I am interested in but that one is at the top of the list. I hope I can start looking real soon.

New Year.....

This is my first post for the new year. Sucks I waited so long but I did. It is February now. The night job that I posted about, I only lasted 3 weeks there. Which was for the best. I wore myself out trying to work two full time jobs. I wasn't getting any sleep. I would be dozing off driving. Now I know that if I was to get another second job, it would be part time but I don't have any plans of getting another night job. I am back in school and I am happy. I am determined to do good and pass my classes. So far I think I am doing good. I have been turning my assignments in, the only thing is the reading. The chapters are so long its hard to concentrate for long. I was only able to get into two classes this semester. I wish I could have taken more but I didn't get registered into school until after the semester had started and the classes I need to take, either they aren't offering this semester or I have to take a prereq first or they were full. I had all of my classes for the next 5 semesters planned out and since I got registered late and could only sign up for two classes I had to rearrange it so hopefully I'll be able to stick to the schedule. I plan on taking 3 classes this summer then 4 in the fall and next spring, then I should only have 2 left by next summer. After that, I'll be able to take my junior classes and I can't wait. I looked up the syllabus' for those classes and they seem easy. The cool thing is no projects and I don't think there are any papers to write. I have a year and a half until I get there if I can pass the rest of these classes I need to take which I plan on doing. I hope everything goes as planned but like I said so far so good.

Need more lucky dust....

Yesterday, I wrote a post about me getting the full time night job that I started last night. So far its pretty cool. We have only just done introductions and played little games and learned a little about the company so far. We'll see how tonight goes but I sure am getting sleepy. I have been up since about 6:30 yesterday morning and have only had 3 hours of sleep from the time I got in last night since they let us leave at 3 to the time I had to get up for my day job. After tonight, we will be staying until 6 so I don't think I will be getting any sleep until Friday night. Surprisingly, I haven't been all that sleepy. This morning I drank one of the Starbucks cold coffees and I was fine all day at work, wasn't really sleepy or anything. I'm going to have to go get another for tonight and see if that will help keep me awake because I am starting to get sleepy now. If it works for me tonight, I'll just start drinking those from now on.

Now for needing more lucky dust. I got a call today about a job. Luckily, it wasn't anyone calling about a night job since I already have that covered. It was for a day job with the old company I was working for before I started the job I'm at now. I have an interview for it Thursday and its pretty much the same job I'm doing now, although I doubt I'll be doing the exact same thing. The only thing I know is that its Monday-Friday which is what I want of course. No weekends and no holidays and the day after Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve and New Years Eve I would only have to work half a day so it sounds sweet so far. The only thing is I need to know the hours and the pay. Hopefully, the hours are what I have now because I don't want it to interfere with my night job and the pay is more than what I'm getting now since I should pretty much know a lot because I have been working for the same department for going on 6 years so I hope it will be good. I so hope I get it since that means going back to my old company and that's what I want. The company I work for now is cool but I never wanted to leave my old company in the first place but a better opportunity never presented itself before the company I'm at now offered me a job but it will be so great to go back and continue my tenure. So wish me luck!!!

Its November!!...

It is officially November. I can't believe that the year is almost over in 2 months. I have some good news. I got that full time night job that I interviewed for at the beginning of October(well technically it was the end of September) and thought I didn't get, well I got it. I got the call last Thursday and had to leave work early today to go to the orientation at 12. I start tonight at 9:30 and I am ready to get started. The sooner I start, the sooner I can get paid so I am ready. I have it planned out that I am going to take 200 out of every check for my housing fund so I can officially start saving to get a house and hopefully by this time next year I will be able to get one and the rest of my check is going to be spending money and money to pay off the stuff I have on my credit report so I can get my credit score up. So hopefully if all goes well with this job, I'll be able to get my score up and save up enough money in 6 months to be able to house hunt. I'm excited I finally got a second job but scared about not getting enough sleep. I know I am going to be sleep deprived but I go to do what I got to do. I have goals for me and my kids and I really want to get a house for us. I want them to have a place to run around in and have a yard to play in plus I'm sick of going back and forth to apartments. I'll be happy when I get use to this night job because right now I feel like I just want to get ready for bed. So far I been up all day and have only laid down for a little bit but tonight I'll be off at 3 so I'll be able to come home and get a couple hours of sleep before I have to go to my day job and then back to my night so I don't know when the next time I will get to lay down. So wish me luck and hopefully I don't kill myself trying to make a better life for me and my kids. I don't have help so I have to do this all on my own. It would be nice to have a man in my life and he could help out some but since I don't have that in my life. it's up to me to take care of everything. Hopefully, that will change one day but I know it won't be anytime soon.
