Sleepy

So, here it is, 2:15 in the morning and I am still pretty much awake. Having insomnia doesn't help things too much when you're fighting a headcold. At least I know that I get to sleep in tomorrow and that vacation time is coming up really soon. We've set a decent budget for this coming month so that we can go to Florida and Virginia. I know we're going to be in FL for 5 days, then in VA for at least 4.

It feels like graduation was a month ago now, even though it's only been two weeks. I sort of dislike this long layoff before work starts for me. I did get my letter of intent to work for Bank of America the other day, so it is in the mail. I think that this is a good starting job for me, even though right now I'm not exactly thrilled about working in collections. Nevertheless, it's a job, and it'll help put food on the table for the time being. I'm going to keep my resume out for a while longer, and we'll see what happens.

Ok, going to try to get to sleep. Hopefully it'll come pretty soon. :) More later!

Graduation

So, I was looking at graduation pictures on AJC.com and saw the Kindergarten graduation pictures for some kids. Ok...first of all, what exactly are we celebrating? Congrats! You don't pee on yourself anymore! I mean, honestly. This kid had the cap and gown and a tassel. His parents must have dropped nearly $100 for this. Is it really necessary? What are we going to have next, class rings for kindergartners?! They already have them in Middle School, so why not?

I guess I just don't get it. :P

More later! :D

Doctors...

I am getting so tired of doctors not explaining things to us BEFORE they do $400 worth of work. Today, because Tasha didn't have any cysts (thank God), they said that any prescription or any work done would be in treatment rather than just diagnosis. They didn't even mention this to us at any point. Tasha argued with them, so they took $100 off, but we still have around $250 left to pay. Grr. And the worst part of all of this is that basically they are charging us full price for stuff that a regular OBGYN could do with us only paying for a co-payment. So, in essence, I guess we're going to stop taking all of the meds for a while, stop going to this doc and just go to the OBGYN again. If they aren't going to do anything more than them, why keep wasting our money? I mean, honestly, we aren't even halfway through the year and we've spent over $2000 on just doctor bills! Who needs savings, right? Thank God again that we haven't fallen behind on any of our regular bills.

I'll let y'all know how things go...more later...

End of School

So, this week is the last week of school for me. What a weird feeling it is to realize that after nine long years that I will be participating in a commencement ceremony. It has been a long and strange journey the last couple of months. I never thought that I would be the kind of person who would be involved in an internship, much less completing one!

I have one last paper to turn in tomorrow in the morning, but that's going to be the easy part. I have about a week after that to tidy up the house and to clean up the yard for all of the people who will be coming to the house. Needless to say with all of this rain, I'll have to mow quite a bit and weedeat a lot of the yard.

Ok, got to get to bed, the morning is fast approaching. More later!
