I guess I should post....

Not very much exciting has happened to me, since my last post. School has been going well, we havent got to do very much yet. Our processor isnt up and running so we havent been able to do any experiments in lab. That has meant we have had shorter labs than normal. Although today in lab we were able to do the first practice positioning and procedures. We did a KUB, upright abdomen and decubitus abdomen. Basically, the three most common of abdomen x-ray procedures. It wasnt that bad and I think it will go well. Monday we have our first quiz in physics and film acquisition. Hopefully, it will go well the only thing that I am worried about in that way is the conversions. There should only be 3 because its only a 10 question quiz, but I guess we will see how it all works out. Keep your fingers crossed I do well. Other than that the only thing has been work. This past weekend was actually a good weekend at work. It was how it was all last year. We were busy and I made over $100 a night. Thank goodness things are going to turn around and hopefully it will continue through October. I think the mild weather that has finally come is helping. Its quite odd here for this time of year. This week has been the fair and typically thats the hottest week of August, but instead the heat and humidity have subsided and its really very pleasant. I dont know what to think of it though. I am afraid that it will mean an early, quite long, and extremely cold winter. But with this crazy weather there is no telling, maybe this nice weather is just a fluke and will pass and go back to hot. All I care about is it being nice fall weather for my birthday.

Last Week and the First Day of School

Last week was busy. I went Monday to moms to dye her hair. Then that evening I went to Chase's game. The Tuesday Chase and I drove up to Cincinnati for the Cardinals v Reds series. It was awesome. The hotel, not so much. It had a great location and the lobby was super nice. But the we got in the room, it was small, had two double beds, an old tv with a terrible dark picture, and the bathroom had an entire other list of things wrong with it. But whatever, it was only $82 off hotwire, although I am not sure Id ever use that site again. Anywho, we headed to the night game on Tuesday and we could walk there, so that was nice and that part of downtown Cinci is nice. The game was lots of fun, we got there like 30 minutes early and had good seats. About 15 minutes into the game the sun went down the other side of the ballpark and the temperature greatly improved. Even though it was a hot night it was bearable with the sun not beating down. We saw the awesome fight that was started by Brandon Phillips and Yaddy Molina. For those of you who dont watch sports, it was a bench clearer and super long and awesome. Both managers got ejected for the entire game. Then we saw this girl and guy behind us both go head over heels for a foul ball, which was sweet. We also saw a grand slam, had a couple of skyline chili-cheese dogs, and the Cardinals won. Then we went back to the hotel and had a drink and went to the room. We then realized since we werent so hot that we were hungry and got a Papa Johns pepperoni pizza and ate the entire thing. The next morning we got our stuff together and checked out of the hotel. Then we went and bought two tickets off one of the many scalpers. This game was at 1215 on Wednesday and it was super hot. We had tickets in about the same spot which was great. We sat through the first 3 innings then had to get out of the sun for awhile. Once we sat back down with our ice chills, a couple innings later the clouds came rolling in then in the 7th it rained. We had to take a rain break for about 40 minutes then it cleared up and we finished the game. Cardinals won again, we swept the Reds! Then it was time to get on the road home. We got to the 75 71 split in N. KY and 71 S was closed, so we decided to drive past it and get off and drive around the 8 car wreck that was in the way, which is a good thing because even with a 40 minute delay on the detour the road was still not opened when we got to 71 again outside of Warsaw. But it was smooth sailing home for us!
The rest of the week involved work, work and more work, for no money what so ever. I am not going to comment on that any longer since you have heard that before.
Today I went to school for the first day. It sucked to have to get up that early at 640, to leave by 710, to get to school before 8. Gotta love east end to downtown traffic. We had all three of our classes today but the lectures were a little shorter than normal, so we got out at 2, but they said not to expect that to happen again or often. Normally, Mondays we will be there until 4 or 430 at least. I just hope we can get out before 5 when downtown goes to all hell and the drive home takes forever. I really like the teachers and think that it is going well. I am getting to know a few other people in our class slowly and everyone I have met seems nice and fun so far. It seems like there is going to be a lot of information to absorb and mostly it seems like it will be hard to discern what material is for which class because they all sort of cover the same basic information. I am sure it will be more clear as we get a little more into things.
Tomorrow I am going to see JoJo, Chase is going to Illinois with his dad for two days to check out this hunting property he is going to hunt on once or twice in the fall. So, tomorrow night I am going to be lonely and bored it seems, I guess I will look over my school stuff.

The Past Week

Not very much exciting has been happening. Work is still super shitty. So, I am just not going to comment on that. Because there is no good news just more me complaining about the entire situation.
On the other hand I went to my second orientation for my program and that went well. I have to go down on Monday to give Don some paperwork to put in my file. I am going to pick up my parking permit while I am there. I will only have school two days a week until October, then I will have school two days and clinicals two days. I got Jewish East as my clinical site, so I will be off Dutchmans for that. Which isnt as bad as going downtown. But I have to be there at 730 meaning working at 730, so I will have to do a test run and see how long it takes to get down there and be there by 705. I am going to work some while in school, more until October then much less. I have decided though that I am not working on Sundays anymore period. I need that day to rest, regroup and get ready for the week as well as be ready for any tests etc. If they wont work with me on this I will tell them just to take me off the schedule completely. Because I am not going to wear myself out for them anymore. Its not that big of a request but we will see how it works out. I did have a temporary freak out with my financial aid. I got $1500 a semester this year and tuition is only $1250, so it will be covered. But the day I got my letter saying the aid was awarded it was no longer visible on my peoplesoft account. So, I spent two days calling down there, sitting on hold for 30 minutes at a time, left 3 messages, sent an email, and finally on the second day at 352pm someone picked me up off hold (it was the second time i had been on hold for 30 minutes that day) and she said that it was odd that the aid wasnt visible on my peoplesoft but that the grant was there on the school information so not to worry, my tuition will be paid. Then I found out that FAFSA doesnt award the money until Sept 2. Which seems really stupid to me, they should pay it when school starts and the money is due not three weeks later. Whatever as long as it get paid I guess.
Next week Chase and I are going to Cincinnati for a St. Louis Cardinals game vs the Reds. I am excited because we are getting to go do something just us again before school starts for me. Plus, I have never been to a professional baseball game. Also, we will be out of town so that will be fun. We never get to do things so I am very excited. Ill make sure to write next week after we get back and tell you all about it. Until then its time to finish laundry and ironing so I can go to stupid ass work tonight.
