Vs.

I have my first calculus test tomorrow. Calculus is my last class I take at Waubonsee before I transfer to Benedictine. I think I'm actually going to miss Waubonsee. Not just because I'm so familiar with it now, but because I actually like it now. If it were to become a four year institution, I'd be estatic.

I'm excited about Benedictine, I guess. But, I think I'll be in for a rude awakening. I never open a book or studied for a test in college so far. I met with the head of the psychology department at Benedictine the other day, and he kind of made me realize that I really have to make sure I know what I'm doing.

So, if all goes well... I'll be done in a year and a half, and have my business and economics major, and psychology minor. People always say "wow, that's an unusual combo!" No, it's really not. Economics is the study of business, true. But, it's more philosophical than it is hard facts. Sure there are tons of graphs and formulas, but economics is the "why" of business. Just like psychology is the "why" of people.

I should be fine. I just want to be done.

...interesting, huh?
P.S. Went to the mall today... and I've decided that you shouldn't be in Victoria's Secret if your mom has to drop you off at the mall. I saw a ten year old in there buying a thong.
Then, my mom and I went to see Click... and since when do ten year olds go on dates? The little boy had on an Abercrombie shirt and the girl looked like Wet Seal model.
Babies aren't supposed to go on dates and shop for thongs. God, I know a lot of people say this, but my kids won't be like that... ((crosses fingers))

I haven't really been posting as much. I've been... what's that word? Busy? Honestly, the days are all blending together, everything's been happening at once.

I started another new job on Monday. Might as well try out a couple different jobs and get a feel for what I like the most, right? This job is great, and I think I'll really benefit from it. The only problem is, its already stressful. But I finally feel that I'm employed by a good company... so I'll be willing to put up with more bs. We'll see how it all works out.

I also started my summer class, calculus. I'm already not a huge fan of limits. But, I need it in order to get the degree. After this I just have to focus on a few real core classes, and then declare my minor and start working on that. School is really my main focus right now. I realized, by the help of others, that I just need to do what it takes until I graduate. Then I can really start dealing with what I want to do. But hey, the experience I'm gaining now won't hurt at all.

On top of all the crazy stuff that's been going on, my car is the newest big contributor to my worries. I worry about absolutely everything, and it's usually totally irrational. But, my car needs some work on it; a new set of rims and tires. Of course, it all happens the night before I'm supposed to start my new job and class.

Luke was nice enough to come get me in the middle of the night, and take me to work later that morning... which totally didn't fit into his schedule. He's been really supportive with everything and has been helping me stay relaxed. I really appreciate it all, I'm not use to people stepping up to the plate for me. Well, not only stepping up, but always coming through too.

I love dogs...

I was watching Oprah tonight and they had a segment about, Faith the dog. You might have heard this story on the news, maybe not. Faith was born deformed, and instead of being put to sleep, she was taught to walk on her two hind legs. I thought it was a really cool story.


She's adorable, right?
Sweet dog.
