Finally got a break from school, somewhat. I have about 3 weeks off until fall classes begin on 9/22. It's not much of a break since I'm still working on east and west campuses. Can't complain, at least I'll have one check that'll have a few extra hours on it than usual. I'm actually excited about starting the Fall quarter, hopefully my last quarter if all goes well with the Marketing Strategy and Entrepreneurship classes I took during the summer. I know that the Entrepreneurship class should be fine, the team business plan and presentation went very well, our team won first place in the competition last Monday, which was a nice start to the week. Has the final exam for Marketing Strategy last Thursday afternoon, which I felt a bit more comfortable and confident with than the midterm (that I failed by the way, so everything was pretty much riding on the final, unfortunately). Just waiting for the grades to be posted online seems like a better option than emailing the professor for the grade. It makes me weary just thinking about that final exam grade. As long as I did average (like C+ or better), there is still hope.
The extended Labor Day weekend was nice and relaxing to a degree, considering that I haven't worked since a week ago today, and I spent 1-2 days preparing for Marketing Strategy. I spent my time helping a friend (who's like family to me) pack so she can start her first year of college, which actually began today, slept crazy hours, watched repeats galore (of Chapelle's Show marathon, the 04 Vma's- well Usher's part anyways, the 03 and 04 of the Bet Awards, and parts of the Source Awards and the Mad TV marathon), went out to dinner and the club with friends (with some pumps that I should have broke in before hand-feet still recovering!), got my hair done, and ate like a pig (since my Mama cooked baked beans and potato salad for the holiday, two of my favorite dishes). It was a simple, yet fulfilling weekend. To top it off, I got my direct deposit earlier, on Saturday instead of Tuesday, which made it easier to grocery shop and grab a few school supplies.
Right now I'm at the newest of my two jobs at Family Medicine. I switched my schedule around so that I can be at the library in the am and over here in the pm, with an hour in between to bs and to grab some lunch. I thought my last day at the library was gonna be 8/30, but I'm blessed that they extended it to 9/30. So the first eight days of classes I'll be holding down two jobs still; which is cool with me. Doesn't take much to keep me happy anyways.
After this, well today anyways, I'm on my way to a job interview in Covington, KY for a company overview at 6-ish. It's been a phone tag game with the company since mid July to try to set up a time for a company overview. I had one scheduled back in early August, but I missed the bus (lamest excuse ever) and just postponed it. Now a month later, I'm actually scheduled to go and visit the company, which hereby starts my search for full time job post graduation. Anyone out there reading this wanna hire me? Also, I'm sending off my resume to a contractor that called me Friday afternoon about a job with his business, which was out the blue considering that I was talking to my former neighbor (who reminds me so much of my late granny) about jobs, when the guy clicked in on the other end. Nice timing.
For now, I'm going to get back to working, pretty much watch the phones. I might read my new book I bought the other day, "The Purpose Driven Life". A friend of mines told me about it. I need to get more in touch with the spiritual anyways. I'm really sick of people trying to test me and my faith, especially when I have been framed with actions that I didn't commit. People are so quick to point fingers at others, but never at themselves. It's 2004 people; time to rise above the baby games and bs! Anyways, I'm (trying) not to let the petty things in my life consume my being, cuz that's what the others want you to do. I got a lot of other things in my life to focus on right now, like finishing work for instance...
