A break...finally

I thought I was pretty busy in college, but let me tell ya what is on my right now. We're working extended hours at work (I worked 68 hours the week before last), I am taking two classes online right now (one of which is an intro class full of busy work), I am studying for one exemption test that has to be taken within the next seven weeks, I need to start studying for the GRE, I am teaching a class at chuch and I need to continue remodeling my house. Most every weekend I have stuff planned for the rest of the summer, so that's good but I have got to really step up my game. I am studying for my Bible class right now while waiting on my blackboard classes to get back online.

My grandpa, Big Pop, died two weeks ago Sunday. I was in Dallas all week for that stuff. It was a nice break, but I didn't get anything done. I did get some good time with my grandma, who is really struggling with the fact that she's getting older.

Life is good though. I am going to Riverfest this afternoon with V and her sister. It's been forever since I have seen her and I get to spend next weekend with her too going to Fayetteville for Robert's wedding. Woohoo! We need some time together, especially since she's not stressed out with pharm school.

Just keeping you updated. That's pretty much all going on in my life.

good golly

So we're working 4-12's now, which means I work 12.5 hours a day (Monday through Thursday) and then we're working 10 hours on Friday, Saturday and maybe Sunday. I won't lie that I am looking forward to the money, but we start work at 5am, which means I am in bed by 830 and up around 4. It's killing me. I can feel myself slowly slipping further and further behind. I want to study for my exemption test, I want to read my new car magazines, I really want to geocache and I want to sleep sleep sleep. Oh well, it'll all be good in the end. I am getting a ton of stuff done while at work. I've single-handedly written 60% of the work instructions for a new truck we're getting and I've been taking on some sweet projects. Not much time at work, which is a great thing.

I talked to a guy tonight about cars and it really made me want to go work on mine. I have some things I need to do, but need the tools and time to work on it. I suppose that time will come...eventually. Did I mention i am looking forward to the bank coming in from all this OT? Oh yeah, I can pay off my medical bills. Woohoo!

This new guy from up north is pushing me on the co-op group here in Camden. We're having fun planning trips and such and I look forward to working with the guy. His office is in admin building, so it's nice to finally have a legitimate in-man for the big leagues. Good times in corporate America!

Good night.
