Just fine. I already know my grades for at least three or four of my classes before they will be posted this Friday. It's looking like As for all of them and the other two are going to be Bs. I want to get back into certification studying again and focus my attention on that before school starts again.
 
Really procrastinating on packing. I don't move until the 27th but I plan to spend most of next week with the family and I figured I'd do the majority of my packing this Saturday and next (but it's still a good idea to start early). But so far, I put together a grand total of two boxes. :snorlax:

Also this is my last week at my current job (I'll be finishing up on Friday) and well...you remember when you were a little kid and you were losing your baby teeth? And there was always that one tooth that was this close to falling out, but absolutely refused to leave this annoying, in-between state and caused you a great deal of discomfort because you just couldn't fucking wait to be rid of the damn thing, yet there it was just barely clinging to your gums? That's what this week feels like.
 
I finished up both of my classes the last two days. I'm really happy about the progress and I learned new ways to deal with my anxiety. I be taking two more in the spring, because I have a much better idea of a career path to take. Things has been going great!
 
Tired but happy. Been busy with commissions and a personal art project that I need to finish before 2015 ends. Both are taking a lot out of me, but I still feel satisfied that I'm busying myself with artistic endeavors. Hopefully I can make a proper sideline out of this in the upcoming year.
 
Been checking my student portal for any updates for the grades for the other classes I don't know about. All the grading is due by 5:00 PM today and it looks good, though I didn't do that well on the second exam for this specific class I took, even though I did great on everything else in that class and in the first exam. It was the damn probability problems that got me fucked there. I'm hoping for at least a B- in that course, but everything else has been either an A or a B+.

I should be able to see my final grades either later today or tomorrow. They always say that the latest is Friday that I'd be able to see them but often times, they've posted them sooner than what their stated date is.

Edit: I used a weighted grade calculator to figure out my grade for that class I was talking about. B- exactly so I'm good because as long as I didn't make anything less than that in these specific classes, I can go take my capstone class for my major in the summer.

Just took my last final, which I felt I did well on. Then I went to an interview for a seasonal (read: Christmas) job at a local restaurant that would need my help for catering, and got the job (my first actual job!!), with the guy who interviewed me saying essentially that it might be a possibility I could stick around after Christmas and have it as an Actual job. Then I got home and checked my email to see that one of the 6 grad schools I applied to - and my 2nd choice school - wants me for an interview in February.

I am having a wonderful day today.
 
Tired n' stressed, kinda the norm. But hoping that I'll be getting out of my current stress-inducing part-time job and into a much better working-with-animals full time job; get to go shadow workers at the place tomorrow and let them know where I think I'd fit in best and they'll give me a 90-day trial before deicing to keep me or boot me. Really excited for it, especially since I told them I've got a degree in graphic design and was told they actually could use one for advertisements and the like, which would really be great.

Pretty much wishing for an improved future today.
 
I got another update on the grades. My GPA went up slightly and I made nothing but As and Bs on all six classes going through the portal and seeing the final grades there. My registration status has also changed to Senior, which I'm also really happy with. I modified my resume a little bit and will really get back into studying soon. I'm looking into other certs I can work on at the moment. The semester went well and I managed my time pretty alright but I didn't get to do everything that I wanted. There were tons of projects to do which was part of it.

I have to get a blood test in like 5 minutes ugh. Wish me luck, I've never gotten one before and I hate needles.

eta: done with that now. As soon as I was done with the needle I got a paper cut on my hand that hurt about as much, all things considered.

My shadowing at that job I mentioned went well and I'm officially hired in; they gave me time to alert my current job about it and shift my position there, so I won't be starting until after Christmas (fine by me to be honest or else I'd get thrown onto the floor at my current job and forced to interact with last-minute Christmas shoppers ugh).

No idea what I'll be doing at the part-time job now. Probably closing or purely weekends since the full time is...well, full-time, and I'll be working 5 days a week and get out at a time that wouldn't really give me a chance to go work at the part-time job the same night. But I need that extra dough so I'll get it figured out eventually so I can work them both.

Good day all-in-all. I'm actually pretty happy.
 
Had my last day at the no-longer-current job. That's a relief.

Now to focus on packing up the rest of my stuff for the big move. *sigh*
 
A day shift becomes even more fun when I have 3 total care patients to give baths and linen changes to. And one of my nurses is useless.
 
I accidentally told my boss that I smoke weed today, we were talking about the new Star Wars movie, and then I mentioned how I have occasionally engaged in recreational use of Marijuana substances, but haven't because I've been isolated and didn't have connections at the moment. And then I realized that wasn't something you should say to a boss.

Turns out, he smoked weed on occasion too, and was like "don't worry, just about everyone here other than management smokes" and offered to give me some numbers of his connections and smoke me up sometime outside of work, so I didn't get fired due to a socially innopropriate comment, which would be inappropriate for the setting I work considering I work with foster care youth.
 
I slept better last night but woke up with an annoying headache, mainly near my left eye. I took some Advil for that so it's not as bad now as it was this morning.
 
So a local musician is doing donations so a kid at a homeless shelter can get a guitar for christmas. I offered up an amp.
later I found out that i was completely broke and I only needed a few ingredients to be able to make mexican lasagna tonight. he saw me at the store getting my card declined and he paid for my food. Totally unwarranted but i am so happy i can cook this meal tonight. KARMA MIGHT JUST BE REAL!!!!!
