1-up

With fear of jinxing it... school and work are coming into place.  I got accepted to Eastern last week- meaning I will get back into the classroom experience that I miss, and actually start thinking again.  And, I am working at a gas station.  I really hope they don't can me now that I've said something.  All I need to do, apparently, I accidentally not scan something a couple times, or (understandably) not card the wrong person and I will be fired.  Mr. Bossman made sure I knew that.  But, so far they seem to like me ok- I apparently catch on quickly.  And I want to be working so I wont miss a day! And I haven't even got any condescending or scolding words from the boss, which I hear is a common occurrence.  I feel this is promising. Living up to my potential at a gas station.

In order to actually go to school this Spring, I have to have financial aid.  I have to declare my major before I can get financial aid.  And I need an adviser in the Math Dept before I can declare my major.  And I need to figure out my transferable credits.  I think a trip to campus will be happening soon...

Neither of these pieces of news work toward my ultimate life goals.  But, as my sister told me, sometimes in video games, the side quests are important because they add points and experience.  This is just me gaining some life points.  And I want to rack them up! 

... school and a job.  New people.  Varied schedules.  Doing things with myself.

I am happy.



p.s. It's March.  Weird.
