I might have consulting contracts for two small-ish town mayoral campaigns next year. Regardless, it will be at least eight months before even the earliest one is finalized. I also got another callback for a job.
 
My mom's back in the hospital again. I need to visit her...but the lack of funds is just fucking my life in the ass.
(Context: my mom has MS and doesn't have much time left. We live in different parts of the country and my jobs pay very little.)

inb4 no one cares, void
 
(Double posting like an ass: on the plus side, I can finally post in the OT section again! And congrats to all who got jobs :D )
 
Decided to change my schedule for the summer slightly after looking at some reviews for the professor I was gonna have for my corporate finance class. She's apparently the hardest because she doesn't curve grades or anything and makes the material a lot harder than it actually is.

Yesterday, I switched over to a professor that had a higher rating on that website but not necessarily the best professor for the class and then to my surprise this morning, someone actually dropped the specific class they had the easiest professor for, so I immediately took it. That class had been completely full so I had to check at different times so I wouldn't miss anything if someone dropped it. It really made my day because everyone is saying that this professor makes it as straightforward as possible to do well in the class and how the quizzes are modeled after the lectures that he posts on YouTube. I even saw one comment saying that his quizzes are almost exactly like the homework he gives out.
 
It's official - if I fail my math class, I won't be graduating. I'm fucking terrified. It all comes down to this last test and whether I get a passing grade on it. Been doing a lot of stress sighs; honestly, I'm not optimistic about my chances. I did horribly on the last one even though I studied a bunch, so things aren't looking good.
 
So far, my day has been rather good. Got back the last stats exam with a 91% and my grade went up slightly to a total of 77%. Now I just have to prepare for the stats final and hope to do well enough to stay in a C range if I want to pass. Also have to stop eating fast food every time I'm here at college since the money I totaled up from eating at a Jack in the Box or Subway could of gone into something better like new parts for a computer or better and healthier food I could cook for myself that would give back part of the gut I had four years back.
 
got transferred to another branch of my company, several of my co-workers from previous position will be there, and it looks like i get another cool boss! it'll be 6pm-1am in a small, dark warehouse, but it won't be so bad.

i've been making it a point to make friends, so i've been talking to people a lot more. obv i go for the outdoorsy, natural types. i'm not letting this summer pass me by.

i'm also gonna drink less but be more social, and draw more.

what am i doing at a computer then. well, i'll be embarking on a mini-journey with the bro and dog.
 
So today part of the soundtrack from Dances With Wolves and "Holiday Road" from Vacation were battling to be the song stuck in my head.
 
I guess one of the (many) jobs I applied to called me and is having me take a skills test before employment. I have no idea if they'll want me to draw blood or start IVs, as I know how to do neither of those in practice, only theory.

Fake it till I make it?
 
I signed up for a personal training program at my gym for 8 sessions spanning 4 weeks.

I'm also considering working at a Chipotle nearby my home for another part time job. It sounds nice, plus it'll be a different experience than janitor work (I'm going to keep that job since I always work that every Saturday).
 
I didn't have a lot of time to study last night, and since my dad is the only one who can help me, I can only go over my notes before the test today since he leaves around 5 every morning.

I've heard about the whole "chewing gum helps you concentrate" thing, so I guess I'll give it a shot. Still not confident though.
 
Somehow survived the weekends and the last two days at work, good god it was so fucking busy. I'd like to say it's my weekend but seeing as how I only get one day off for PT that won't ever happen unless we hire on at least one more cook.
 
Currently visiting my sister in Orange County. At Disneyland right now and just got out of WonderGround Gallery. The place had a ton of amazing Disney related paintings.

I also just registered for classes for Summer.
 
aw man my new job is kicking my ass. but i'll be in such good shape and i'll be making much more money! i can even find time to stand around and draw or write.
 
Semester is over. I was only taking three classes. I pulled an "A" in each of them, though, so I'm pleased. Now I get two weeks off until the summer semester starts.

Also, congrats, @R.A.E.L. !
 
So I retook the math accuplacer and I managed to get myself into a higher level math course involving elementary/intermediate algebra, so I won't have to take a course on basic math. I'm pretty happy it and I felt more prepared then I was the first time I took it. Now, I see how it goes in the summer with the two online courses.
