Travelling Today

I'm off on the Megabus to Virginia today. If you follow me on Twitter, I may even Tweet if I find something interesting. The worst part will be sitting for 9+ hours. My back is already stressed and painful.

Ah well... I've got my tunes, my crochet, and a good book coming with me. Not to mention the MP3 player with some good speaker tapes on it.

I'll have the laptop, so I may post while I'm away. Not sure. Visiting family, so it depends on how things go. I won't be in control of my own schedule. That may be a good thing!

I get to give a couple of presents for Mother's Day to my aunt and cousin. And I have a fabulous present for my uncle that I've been holding on to for several years - just kept forgetting to pass it on!

I'm all packed, just need to shower and dress.

God Is Good!

I returned my textbooks yesterday, and was able to get cat food and gas.

Today, I checked the bank balance, like I do every morning, and Whoa! There was money there!!! It turned out it was a refund for the class I dropped.

So, I got to pay a month's utility bills. That's cool! The second month is already on my credit for the internet/phone, and I saw the meter-reader yesterday for the lights & water.

I'll go talk to everybody today and tell them what's up. I guess I'll have to let them know when my next student loan payment is coming in, too.

Confirmed with my cousin on my trip this weekend. Everything is going as planned.

Got a call yesterday on a job I signed up for, for today. She said the supervisor would call me with details. He never did, so I didn't work today.

I'll use the time to clean up my suitcases, and get the laundry done so I have clothes to take with me.

God is Good! That money came just in time (as is God's way), and now I won't have to worry about the lights getting cut off while I'm on my trip. I had no idea that money was coming...

Oy! Computerized Registrations!

Sometimes computers can be REALLY stupid!

There is no gray area. If you are supposed to have a prerequisite for one course program, then you have to have that prerequisite for all course programs - except when you don't!

And I'm in the latter category. So, they will have to "waive" the prerequisite so I can complete my course of study. Maybe I'll leave that class alone till the last semester, when I'm doing my internship....

Lots of Blog Traffic?

I'm thinking this is because of the post I made on Facebook after the announcement that Osama Bin Laden had been killed. I just can't sanction killing. It's against God's Law. When I see all the "jubilation" at his death, it saddens me.

Other than that, a busy week so far. Yesterday was the busiest so far, but today is shaping up as busy and filled, as well.

I have phone calls, outings planned, and so on. There's a Job Fair today, that I plan to attend. I have calls on both ends - to make and to receive.

Why can't I just win one of the Sweepstakes I've entered? It would make life a bit easier....

Yesterday, I had my final presentation in my last class of the semester. I hope she liked it. I did what she asked, and tried to make it work. With 3 systems at home that are not compatible with those at school, things can be quite challenging.

No matter what my financial situation, I really need a newer laptop! I need to upgrade to Windows 7, even though I hate Microsoft. I love my MAC, but the whole world lives on MS Office, so I have to keep a recent version working.

So, I guess I'll get one of the Dell's come Fall.

I've already registered for 2 summer classes, and 4 fall classes. I'm looking for more, but few are available. I need a Contract Law class, and it isn't listed. They may have changed the name or number. It would be nice to get that out of the way. I'll end up with all accounting and management classes after that.

The school accepted 43 credits from my transcripts! That was a nice surprise. Not all of them will help me in my current endeavor, but I can probably get that tutoring job at the school, now.

Kitties are good. Fluffy has some kind of yeast growth under a mat, so she will be groomed today. I have to do the job myself. It's a good thing she doesn't freak out about water! She's going to get a bath after her haircut.

Well, enough for now. I have to get ready for a busy day.

Broke Week Ahead

I was unable to work last week. Not that there wasn't a little work available, but adding a sinus infection, insomnia, and pre-finals week together, along with little money for gas, make any work almost impossible. I tried, but it wasn't going to happen.

I've been raiding my PayPal account to keep going. I needed to put gas in the car, get cat food, and so on. I have some cash to put IN the bank today, so that a weekend "shop" (secret shopping) is covered.

I hate being broke, but things WILL get better. There's a bit of work this week. Next week, off to Virginia for a few days to see family. It will be nice to see them, and the trip is already paid for. Something to look forward to!
