Life

So, I haven't had a lot of motivation to come to the library on my days off lately. Mostly because I'm dog tired and would rather sleep in thus moving laundry time back to the afternoons. By the time I get that done, I've run out of motivation to do much of anything else. Plus, any free time I have after work I spend on the couch watching NCIS or CSI re-runs or whatever DYI programs we've got on the DVR.

Anyhow, I'm done to about 8 minutes here at the library. So to cut to the chase, I present a list for your reading enjoyment.

*I got my student loan repayment term paper thingies in the mail today. It just proves to me how much I need to get back into school this fall. Hopefully everything I've planned for myself this summer, educationally speaking, will work out.

*I am starting a CNA course at the Ogden-Weber Applied Technology College in about a week and a half. I'm hoping to find a decent paying job and work my way through school.

*Starting to research scholarships for the fall. Good thing I work for the Church.

*Working for the Church has been a pretty big blessing. I get a heads up on scholarships and the CNA course I'm taking is being paid by the Church. It's pretty great. I love a free education.

Other than that, life has been pretty boring. My little brother, Adam, turned 10 yesterday. I feel so old...bleh. Only exciting news is that I'm going up to Lava Hot Springs this weekend with a friend. That's the bit of shiny goodness in the foreseeable future. Which, let's be honest here, what I perceive as a foreseeable future is only about 2 weeks out. :)

Adios

Late...As Usual

So, turns out that I'm not so great at posting on here as I once was. I was even late to post my once yearly Dear Mom post. I really have no excuses other than I've been out of school for almost 3 weeks now since I started going full-time in January. I'm pretty sure the last time I posted anything was in October of last year. Anyway, let's play catch up! I started school full-time in January at BYU-Idaho's online program. I completed 28 credits this year. I'm ready for a break. The accreditation for the public health degree program changed but the changes only apply for the on-campus students and not the online students - aka me. So I'm going to have to transfer schools...again. I've been looking at grad programs in Portland, Oregon. Portland calls my name at least once a year, and I always research reasons to move back. The first time I moved there I was under prepared. I moved with the wrong person. When I move back, I'll be done with school...

A Healthy Start

So, you know when the beginning of the new year rolls around and you recommit yourself to begin a healthier lifestyle and then you kind of crash and burn somewhere around the end of the month? Yeah...I've been there. Like every year of my my twenties. For some reason, the closer I get to turning 32 - yikes! when did that happen??? - the more I think about where I want my life to go, what I want to do, who I want to be...you get the point. Almost a week ago, I started exercising every day with just one rest day a week. Today - Saturday - is my rest day. It also is my sugar day. Anyhow, last Sunday I was sitting in my room perusing Pinterest. I was coming off a graveyard shift sleep the daylight hours away stint and I was bored. I said to myself, "You should do something healthy today. You've slept all day and have energy to burn." Somehow I ended up on this wall exercise chart thing on a friend's board and I thought, I can do this. It's quiet. I won't wake...

New Things

So, I haven't made a public announcement, but I got a job T H R E E weeks ago. I've been gainfully employed for just over 3 weeks ago. I love working. I love having a job. I love being able to buy the stupid things like toothpaste and shampoo, because really? Since I can buy the stupid silly things that people need to function, means that I can start saving, pay tithing, go grocery shopping. Also, since I work for a certain Church funded company, I also get to go to school. For free. Then, after I'm done doing the program that I've been interested in, since forever, I get to go to Weber and finish my bachelor's degree the debt free way. Awesome, right? It is. It's also a lot of work because since the Church is all about self-reliance and what not, I have to do the work all myself which means that I have to find the motivation to go to 2 night classes a week to get to the point where I can finish my bachelor's without going into more debt. But you know what? ...
