Room by Room...

Since I have been home I have been debating whether I want to move back into my old room that's is much, much bigger than my room right now, it also means downsizing my bed back to a twin and there would be an extra bed just collecting dust. So, on last Thursday while I was home sick with the after math of the flu ( being up all night with the flu qualifies for a sick day) for the majority of the day other than 7 in the morning to email all of my teachers explaining my absence for the day; I seriously slept until 1 or 2 in the afternoon and when I did wake up I still felt gross and nauseous so I decided to think of ways to rearrange my room and it led me to Better Homes and Gardens
where you can arrange your room after some time fiddling around with the program I decided what to do with my bedroom. ALL day Saturday I was in my room not only cleaning... o.k. well kind of cleaning just enough so I could push and shove all my furniture in every which direction. after two days of having my room how I had just arranged it I thought of an even better way and so ALL day today I moved my furniture to the new desired places. I can actually say that I am really excited for the new layout for the fact that it makes my room seem so much bigger and it is WAY more open and inviting! I haven't taken any pictures because well my room is still a mess but I promise (cross my heart, hope to die... I think you get the idea) to post pictures later this week once my room is completely clean and picturesque.


Good Night to you all and for me well I'm going to be taking a HUGE pain killer all this moving heavy furniture stuff has really taken a toll on my back :(

School

So school starts on Tuesday the 20th and I will be swamped with 16 units! I was only able to get one of the classes I originally wanted so looks like an interesting semester. The classes that I'm officially enrolled in are (drum roll please)....

POSC-01 Political Science
MUS-13 History and Appreciation of Jazz
ENGL-A English (it's not the one I wanted to take... oh well)
ENGL-AL English Lab (yeah. ummm... why?)
CPSC-30 Computer Applications
PSYC-23 Personal and Social Adjustment (it's a Wednesday night class)


So pretty much all of my classes are on Tuesday's and Thursday's (all except for my psych. class).

Simple Question

I have been struggling and trying to reevaluate my life; it's not going the greatest. For those of you who do not know I have moved back home. It wasn't my decision, I was dismissed from APU. I'm pretty bitter towards the school right now from the circumstances of the event, but I'm strong enough to talk about it. I at first wasn't really sure what my next step would be other than knowing that I absolutely HAVE to get a degree, which means continuing school. Opportunities have revealed themselves and it has been hard choosing which path to take and what my next move is going to be but the elephant placed in front of me can only be eaten one bite at a time. My sister Paige has talked with her roommates about me moving in with her/them down in Fresno, but the fault is that the schools down there started classes today. I am still considering moving down there sometime in the future maybe to attend Fresno State. For right now I am living at home with mom and dad (who have shown a tremendous amount of support while I figure things out). I found out by a little bit of research that Merced Community College starts on the 20th of January, which is great for me to register for classes this week and start school next Monday. I'm going tomorrow morning to Merced to register for a few classes that I know I need to take hopefully I can get into all of them but I really don't mind crashing a class on the first day or 2 to be able to add the class. The classes I have chosen are:
Nutrition
Computer Applications
English
Personal and Social Adjustments (Psychology)
Cultural Anthropology

That's a total of 15 units which is more than a full time student (it's keeping my parents happy and I'll still be covered by their insurance).


The question I have for all of you is to place me in your prayers, I am in a time of need for guidance to make the right decision.

Where'd it go?

I realize that I haven't blogged at all this whole time that I have been on break... for those who are that upset about me not keeping you posted have most likely seen me while on break and have been updated with what's going on in my life. I also realized that I will be having to go back to school sometime this week/weekend.

My break in a nut shell:

1. Got a speeding ticket on my way home...

2. My computer got a virus...

3. Helped out with Catering jobs... (thought I was gaining some extra cash... but silly me now has to pay for a speeding ticket)

4. Had a Christmas party with all of my close friends from high school...

5. Went down to Fresno to celebrate Christmas with family and then stayed the night at Paige's apartment...

6. Had a quiet and relaxing Christmas...

7. Computer virus worsened and now computer won't turn on :(

8. Went to the lake sailed a little and pulled the boat out of the water...

9. Went to Mission Springs for 2008 staff reunion

10. Had an uneventful New Year's celebration...


Ya, that pretty much describes my break, not totally exciting or anything but it has been great being home!
