Wam, Bam, Thank You...

I know, I know, another quick blog! I have barely had a chance to do much let alone update yall on my goings on.

Last week I started CNA training, that stands for Certified Nurse's Assistant. Its a free 8 week training program here in town that requires class M-F 8:30-12:30p.

The summer youth employment program ends this week, so none of the money I got from the program is going to help me beyond this month. I had dreams, plans, goals for the program, but alack, alas, they are not to be.

I have added a day at cracker barrel, so I now work wednesday, saturday, and sunday evening.

Yea.

The oddyssey project starts tonight and will continue every tues and thur eve 6-8 for the rest of the school year. I am looking forward to the program. It will put me back into a college mindset and help give me 6 college credits for free!

Finally, my birthday is tomorrow. I will be turning 24. I took the night off from cracker barrel, only because I wanted to do karaoke and it starts at 10 and I would have got off at 10. I wouldn't have minded working on my birthday, and I certainly need the money. I have spent hundreds this month on food, fixing my bike, friend's birthdays and miscellaneous friend items, and apartment stuff. Next month, in order to avoid having to work at state farm, I will have to literally live under a rock, studying, and eating party pizzas and cereal until I graduate from the cna program and start making money again.

I have finally met my third and final roommate, a junior transferring into the U of I. She is fun, pretty, and lead a bible study back where she is from. Good to have another Christian in the apartment.

Sorry I am not more pithy and engaging, but my 6 hour shift at the library is about to start, then from there, I am racing across town to the oddyssey project class, then back across town to my jasper meeting, then back across town home to hopefully eat and study before class tomorrow. I wanted to bring the class cupcakes or donuts, or even bananas and grapes, but I don't know that I will have a chance to pick them up tonight cause I know I ain't gettin' up early on my birthday if I don't have to. But I did want to take a bath tonight, soak, read some more of the Nicholas Sparks book I am reading, do a few girly things before tomorrow. I unfortunately also was not able to get the obligatory "birthday girl outfit" but after class tomorrow, after I go way across town to the Public Health office to take the 2nd part of my 2-part TB skin test, I will be close to the mall and could slip into dots for an inexpensive top maybe or perhaps shoes...Idk. Some friends from cracker barrel might go to the movies with me in the afternoon and Shay is going to bring my popcorn bucket so we can have popcorn for 0.50 cents...I always wondered why they didn't have the cent-sign on the keyboard. There have been times I wanted to use it, and sadly could not......

Things that make you go hmmmmm.


And with that fine folks, I bid you all---crap! I gotta get downstairs pronto


PEACE!
