The job search continues...

Well I am officially getting serious about job hunting again. One of the girls at my job just got hired at my old company for an administrative job and I am jealous. Why couldn't that have been me? As long as I have been trying to get an administrative job and I wouldn't mind going back to my old company. I still miss it even though I have been gone for over a year now. With her getting a position that I want, it gives me hope that I still have a chance to get something. I just need to start applying and try my luck. Hopefully I will be able to get a job offer in the next couple of months. I am so ready to get out of the job I am doing. I have been working in the same department for over six years now and its not something I want to do for the rest of my life so I want to get something in administration. Something that will be closely related to what I am going to school for that way I won't have to wait until after I graduate to get experience. I just hope I can get something and of course I hope I won't have to work weekends and I can get paid a little bit better than what I'm getting paid now. Wish me luck...

Spring semester is over!...

The spring semester is finally over!! I made it through. In both of my classes I got a B- so I am proud of myself for getting through it. Now I can scratch those two classes off my list and move on to the next ones. Summer semester starts in a couple days and I have to stay focused. It is more fast paced and I will have assignments due every other day so hopefully I will be able to keep up. I'm trying to take three classes and I was trying to take four but the way my financial aid looked I was going to have to pay out of pocket again but now it looks like I'm still going to have to pay out of pocket so I need to figure out if I'm going to add the other class back or not since either way I'll have to pay out of pocket unless I bite the bullet and take out a loan which I would hate to have to do since I have loans from years ago that I haven't even been paying so I think I'm more scared to take out a loan. I guess I better figure out what I'm going to do quick since the semester starts in a couple days. I almost got myself excited because I was thinking about going for a minor but the classes I need are only offered on campus and with a full time job and two kids to take care of its not easy trying to find time to take on campus classes. The only thing I can do is see if they offer equivalent classes at the community college and hope they offer them online then I can have the credits hopefully transferred. I want to do as much as I can before it gets time to graduate. It's graduation weekend now and every year when it gets this time I always wish it were me but in a couple years if everything works out it will be my time and I can not wait. It will be a long time coming. I can just imagine how excited I'll be when it's my turn. Then I will have to figure out what I am going to do after. Either I can go back for another bachelors or get my masters. I guess we'll see when the time comes.

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.
