Almost done

So here I sit in my LAST CLASS as an undergrad, not paying attention to a word the prof is saying. I'm such a good student. 17 more class periods until I'm a graduate. It's pretty weird especially now that I'm really starting to look at my post-graduation options. I still have every intention of going to grad school, but I may be taking a different approach. There is a job opening at the main library here on campus that involves doing a lot of the same things that I do now, so I have plenty of experience which will give me an advantage over other applicants. This would be a full time job, around $23,000 a year plus I can take up to 8 credit hours at Wright State for free. So if I do this, it will take me a bit longer to get my masters, but it will help me to get rid of my credit card debt by the time I graduate and to start saving money for the future. So keep that in your prayers for me, please. This would be a great opportunity for me.

In other news, my parents are in town. :D I'm so excited about them being here. This is the first time they've really been able to spend time with me in my home (Dayton). We're staying at Minister and Detergents house because I'm house/dog sitting for them and they said it was perfectly fine if my parents stayed there. I must say their dog is driving me up a wall. Last night was better than the night before, but she's still being a bit of a pain. Anyway, I'm going to see Pirates (4th time) with mom and dad this evening after I get off work, so that will be fun. Who know what we'll do the rest of this weekend.

This has been a whirlwind kind of week. Monday, my car ran out of gas on the way to my first day of class. I had to call GM roadside assistance and I ended up being nearly an hour late to my first class. Things went down hill from there. A lot of stuff I won't go into here, but I topped it off by ripping a big hole in my jeans at work. Tuesday didn't start off much better. I locked myself out of Minister's house and had to get a ladder to climb in the window. That was a painful experience. On top of all that, Toolman called me Sunday night, but didn't leave a message. So I called him back Monday night to find out what he wanted. He's in New Orleans with his church and he wanted me to look up the phone number of someone we met in New Orleans. I found it for him, but I got to talk to him for a bit in the meantime which was good. It was nice to talk to him after all this time.

So there it is. Also, if you could keep the financial aid situation in your prayers I would really appreciate it. It turns out that there was something else wrong with my application (my parents needed to sign it) that they NEVER said anything about. Since my parents are here, I'm having them physically sign in and then I'm turning it in to the F.A. office to make sure it gets done. So yeah, the saga continues. It should finally be taken care of by the end of next week, but just pray that they don't cancel my class in the meantime for lack of payment.

I hope all is well with everyone. I'm praying for y'all.

God bless!
