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.

  1. I;m sorry that work has been so crappy and that you haven't been making the money that you need. But I'm glad that you an Chase get to go out of town - make sure to take a few pics for me!

    I hope I get to see you before your school gets too crazy!

    Random question - will you have to wear scrubs for your clinicals? Because you'd be so cute in them :)
