So, yesterday marked the halfway point for my summer course! yay! Three weeks gone, and three more to go. The first weeks weren’t too bad but this past week, it was hard keeping my eyes open during class. It’s bad since I sit right up in front, but I’ve been trying to be good by bringing things in to munch on like chocolate. Chocolate gives me that extra boost that I need, especially when I start off my day around 6:30am. Lately, coffee hadn’t done it’s job of keeping me away. Maybe I need to have it as part of my breakfast to last the whole day, but other times, I feel like it just makes me more sleepy.
After class, I’ve been going to my mom’s house for a quick dinner and by the time I get home, I’m pooped out. All I want to do is lie down and go to bed. There’s so much that I want to do such as: more devotional time, work out at the gym, spend some time with my hubby, give a friend a call or just email them back, or even start on some hw/studying. It feels like since this class started, I’ve had a bunch of letters/emails to write back to my friends that I hadn’t even got to it. (For those of you who read my blog, I’m sorry that I hadn’t written back yet..I promise that I will soon).
So, here’s my schedule for the next few weeks:
This sat: family time-mom’s birthday
July 1st- NHCC concert
July 2nd-essay exam #2
July 3rd-quiz #4
July 4th-bbq party at the naresh’s
July 9th- critical review paper due & exam #3
july 11th-quiz #5
july 16th-quiz #6
july 18th- final exam!
Crazy schedule, eh? If I wasn’t working full time, then it wouldn’t be a problem but since I do, it’s been hard just staying away. But as some of my friends remind me, I do thrive on busy schedules. It’s crazy but I love to hang out with people so I like it. There have been days, like today, where I wanted to call in sick and sleep in a few more hours, but then I hesistated cuz’ I’ve been really trying to be good and save up my vacation time for our two vacation plans next spring and summer.
Speaking of work, it’s been a rollercoaster of a week. Last friday, I was offered a job to work in the same department that I’m currently in but in a different position. One of the ladies that work here is moving elsewhere and she gave her notice, so since I’m her backup payroll person, my supervisor offered it to me w/o having to apply or to do an interview. Paperwork was signed by our dean, so basically, my boss was like, you can move your belongings on monday. I was super excited since then I won’t have to deal with some problem coworkers as often anymore. But when I got in on monday, my supervisor called me into his office to let me know that he told me the wrong thing. He said that cuz’ of stupid union and human resources rules, they have to post the position up and have people apply for it. I was so fustrated. Not that I probably will get the job anyways, but the fact that they hyped me up when it was necessary. Now, it looks like if I do get the job, I probably won’t move into it until a few months later. On top of it, I would still have to do that job, my current job, apply for it and interview for it. Doesn’t that suck? I’m also stuck with a very moody coworker for a little while longer..don’t know what’s her problem with me cuz’ I know she doesn’t like me but I’m still pleasant with her like I said “good morning” to her this morning twice and she ignored me. She’s the one who’s psycho though..always picking up my phone line as though as I was invisible, trying to get me in trouble any way she can, etc..yet she knows she’s the problem one. I can’t help it if our upper management loves me and yet always is yelling at her. I’m not the one making her mistakes..she is.
Well, anyways, enough about work..although I’m tried of work and school, I’m super excited to see two of my 5 favorite little people tonight! I know that once I see them, I’ll be streaming with energy. Kids always do that to me…God has certainly blessed my life by surrounding me with kids. Everything about them is so wonderful and adorable. For instance, I love when Jasmine sit in her own little couch being all relaxed and playful or when Isaac asks questions because he’s curious. Their questions are so thought provoking sometimes that it just amazes me what’s going on in their little minds.. 
So, I can’t wait for Sichan and I get to spend a few quality hours with them as their parents go out on a “little date”. 
On a side note, I got my very expensive splint last week. the first day was uncomfortable but now, I’m used to it. I do sound a little funny when I speak but I can’t tell the difference when I listen back to myself on the phone. I hope it works so that I won’t have to get braces.
