Ok, so I finally decided to leave my motel room in Portland...We're back home & I'm almost done being sick! I've been pretty drained lately, between having this stupid cold & trying to stay on top of school stuff & still make time to hang out.
I went to my Student Success & Survival class last Thursday & had somewhat of an epiphany. I've been skating by (yes, getting good grades) just doing the minimum required. I took a mental inventory & thought about my goals & how/when I need to accomplish them, & decided that I need to commit to school & studying more, especially at this stage in my schooling. Since making that decision, I've stayed more on top of things & applied for even more scholarships. From what everyone tells me, I shouldn't go to school full time during summer term, because they condense 11 weeks' worth of lessons into an 8 week term, and also because I need to save some of the financial aid money for the rest of the year.
I have my dentist appointment on Thursday to get my wisdom teeth out. I'm not sure if I wrote about it before, but they had to cancel on me at the last minute when I was scheduled before because the dentist got sick. Of course, this was after I took the happy pill...For my birthday, my friend, Susan, bought me an extra month of dental so that I'd get my teeth pulled, so really have to do it now.
I went out last weekend with "TG" & Samantha to go see an albumn debut concert of a friend of ours & had a great time, if I don't think about all the drinks I had & the ultimate effect they had on me. Let's just say it wasn't pretty! I, however, did look pretty fine in a new top that I got just for the occasion...
Tyson will be starting spring basketball before too long & he's pretty stoked about working with the 8th grade varsity coach. I've still been going in on Fridays to the Eye Center, but I don't know how much longer that's going to last. I've been dealing with some cleanup, but eventually I'll have that all done & Steve's getting pretty confident, so I'm not as indispensible as I once was, which is a double edged sword.
This weekend, I'm supposed to go to a surprise birthday party for Dave, my friend Becky's dad, who's an absolute hoot. I hope I'm feeling up to it, but I really don't know what to expect after getting my teeth pulled, so we shall see...
Anyway, I'm gonna go study for my Psych test (over 4 chapters) & print out my narrative essay for writing & stuff. Trying to get it all done so I can watch American Idol with Ty.

About time you left your hotel room! LOL
Anyways, welcome back to the land of the bloggin'
We, or at least I, live vicariously through your blogs so don't be so long between them eh?
Wow, it took you 9 days to decide to leave PDX? j/k!
Yikes, I'd hate to see that hotel bill...you'd almost think "TG" was there with you for you to hole up for so long! lol.
Sounds like you're getting into the routine of schooling. It really is a double-edged sword at SEC, but maybe as you taper off there, you can pick up some more transcription to make up the difference.
It'll be nice to have a little summer time to yourself too...you know, it might be a good off-semester to take all-online classes so that you can take advantage of the break if you decide, and just take your laptop with you. Hmmmm...AZ trip? Sounding better!
Hey, any word yet on May 17th? Will you still be going full-time, or will you be on break?
I'm so proud of Tystick for hanging in with the Basketball. He's got skillz and it's cool that he gets to work with this coach! I'm sure he'll be proving what he's made of very early on. ;0)
Better lay off the drinking sis. You're turning into a lush! lol, jk. (no seriously..., jk again).
Oops, was about to wish you good luck at the dentist tomorrow, then realized that today is Thursday! Yikes, hope you're feeling no pain right now (and for good). Take care!
P.S. I think Susan's gift to you was extremely thoughtful and insightful. What a wonderful person she is! You've got so many amazing friends. You're all very lucky to have each other (and I'll bet the ones at work really miss having you around so much).
