Doing alright. Decided to leave a website I had been part of previously for good and feels great so far. It was getting way too ridiculous, boring and repetitive for my tastes anyway.
 
Pretty good, so far! Just setting up my college courses for this September (second year!), and taking a 4-week summer class next Monday.
 
on the days when i hit the clock at 4am, i better remember to bring a good book.

if the first 4am day is anything to go by, i'll have few tasks and the whole place to myself for hours on end.
 
I'm trying to get a job stocking and I also plan to go back to school to study computer programming. I also signed up to take another Spanish class next month, so I hope that soon I'll be busy.
 
I'm in Berkeley for my older sister's grad. Very proud, but it being No Cal, I had to go through listening to leftist rubbish all day. Especially since she majored in Women's Studies.

Nonetheless, the city's great minus the homeless problem. Diverse and nice weather.
 
Woke up really early this morning because I had to pick up my cap and gown, and wouldn't you know it, my stomach kept bothering me. It miraculously stopped after I got to the college, though, and graduation itself went smoothly.

One of my cousins graduated today too, though her degree (bachelor's) is a lot more impressive than mine (associate).
 
Today I applied for the Chipotle restaurant closest to my home. Now I'm waiting for them to call back for an interview should they accept it.

Also, this Tuesday I'll be returning to my high school to judge senior projects for a second time.
 
We had a dog a few years ago, but had to give it away because we had a newborn in the house and were worried about them getting along (don't worry, the dog went to a family friend and at last report is spoiled rotten.)

Well, we got a new dog today, now that the kids are older. I've seriously never felt this attached to an animal, and we've only had him a day. He's a husky/black lab mix and is the most chillax dog I've ever seen. He's unbelievably gentle with the kids and is willing to put up with a lot if it means they'll throw a ball and let him fetch it. He follows me and my eldest daughter around the house, practically throwing himself at our feet. He follows directions well and loves car rides (we've already taken him on two.)

This is an awesome dog and I'm damned proud to have him.

Also, my wife bought a garden tent and patio set off of Craigslist last fall. We set it up and had a wonderful lunch outside while the kids played with the dog. Such an awesome day all around.
 
I have my skills test and/or Interview Friday. It's probably computerized. I just need my last clinical instructor to email me back.
 
Learned a few things about myself last night and today.

Went to the ER with a kidney stone, which I'm prone to. Had one three weeks ago but didn't need to see a doctor about it. One turned up on the ultrasound, 6mm across. That is BIG. I've needed surgery for smaller ones. But it was in the left kidney and my pain was on the right. It turns out the big one isn't trying to pass yet but will soon and I will probably need surgery again.

So what was bothering me on the right side?

A cyst on my right ovary more than 4cm across. Turns out that the last few times I've had kidney issues on that side but a stone failed to materialize was because I am apparently growing a cyst and they cause similar symptoms. (Pain, cramping, nausea.)

I also found out that my insurance dropped me at some point in the last three months without notifying me even though I called to check up on something about a month ago and no one said anything about it to me then. I have no idea how I'm going to pay for my medical shit and now I can't even see someone about my bouncing baby 6mm kidney stone or my 4cm cyst.

FML I guess.


But on the other hand, while I was waiting in triage, some guy who was just discharged came back in and said he was in intolerable pain and then threw up in a decorative potted palm. Turned out he was frequently in there looking for drugs and they had him escorted out. I laughed. I couldn't help it.
 
The place I work at is now open 7-Days a week so now Wednesday is no longer my day off. Summer is really picking up for us, and its gonna really take hold this weekend.
 
I still absolutely hate my job. I know I've said that before, but that was probably when I was just merely bored with my job. Now I'm bored, pissed off, and just generally annoyed with it to the point where I can't even hide my disgust anymore. I've had a lot of jobs in my life, but there are only a few that I've hated more than my current one.

Luckily, I have a phone interview next Wednesday for an infinitely better job and I'm terrified that I'll fuck it up, because I want this job more than I want to take my next breath.
 
Tomorrow morning is my skills test/interview/whatever. And I'm super nervous. But eh.
