Finally!

     I have good news! Technically, I had it yesterday, but thanks to the on-going problems with the DSL and the provider, I had no services until today. But! The newness has not worn off, and I am still excited. :D

     I get to go back to school!

     Hrmm, now I realize some people might not find that all that exciting, but for me it's an amazing thing. I started on the path to get a Bachelor's Degree in Fine Arts, focusing on Interior Design in October, and successfully made it through exactly one term before what felt like all hell broke loose around me. There were some medical hang-ups of my own that kept me from class, but I continued to keep putting in effort anyway only to have another disaster of sorts strike. Like surrendering the house we spent about twenty years of my life in and having to move because we just haven't been able to recover since my dad lost his job. We've all struggled to make ends meet, and I moved back home to help with the burden as much as I could, and we just... finally had to call it quits. So, on top of my issues, I was helping clean and pack up my childhood home, while my mom dragged heels a bit because she doesn't like change and my dad's health started to suffer.

     In the midst of all of that, one of the two cars we needed for everyone to get back and forth to work and class, died. On one of the days I was able to get to class without issue, no less. So, again, I found myself out of class until we got the matter resolved. All of that proved to be too much for my dad though, and he spent some time in the hospital after nearly having a heart attack. The doctor actually called it a "controlled" heart attack and said there wasn't any damage, but that if things hadn't been controlled, he would have been a lot worse off. x.X So, dad was put off on medical.

     The moving has been a slow process. We're still working here and there on getting everything into the current house. It's been a bit of a task for a number of reasons, but we are finally settled in enough that I could focus on getting back into classes again, and as of Monday I am registered half-time, like I was before, and get to go back when the term starts in July. I cannot wait. The only thing I have left to do is write a tuition waver request letter, and go in sometime next week to finalize things on my financial aid.

No...

     ... I didn't forget I have this. I just haven't taken time to update because nothing all that new has gone on. :D That's kind of a good thing. I'm not sure I can take anymore chaos.

     Sooo... what CAN I update this with? I saw the new Freddy movie when it opened. It was alright, but not great. The originals aren't the best either, but they were at least fun. This was just creepy and brought out a whole new level of pedophilia.

     What else... Oh! I think we're mostly settled into the new house enough that tomorrow I'm going to get back into classes. I've already done the re-admission app, I just need to get some paper work together, annnd register. As soon as I get that sorted, I get to start the looking for work more seriously than I have been. I've been looking, just haven't applied for much. Or... anything.

     Creatively speaking, all my art stuff is here in the house now. :D I'm just waiting for one good day to get outside where it's not cold, not raining, and not windy enough to blow the house over. I'm really dying to try and sketch the shed in the back with charcoal... but weather has not been permitting it. I might be able to start my green beans soon too, just need to get rid of the frost warnings. They won't survive. x.x

     Erm... I think that's all for now. K BAI!
