(~!*TuRtLeS~!*) life update [31 May 2008|01:31pm] [ mood | worried ] So I haven't posted anything on here in a really long time. So much has happend that I wouldn't even be able to type it all out. I am teaching in the valley and hating every minute of it. I do have some good kids and they keep me sane. 5 more days of this hell. I can't imagine WHY ppl would want to become HS teachers in these type of schools. Sad. Our future of tomorrow is full of piece of shit kids. I was accepted into medical school!!!!! My lifetime dream! Due to personal reasons I have deferred my acceptance until next year. My grandmother has been sick and I feel I need to be here with her. Her chronic illnesses have just started to catch up on us. She has had hyptertension for years and she was diagnosed with diabetes only 2-3 years ago. Appaarently, after further labs they determined she has probably had diabetes for over 20 years. The diabaetes has damanged her kidneys to the point where she might need to start dialysis. She already said she does not want to be put on dialysis. Due to the kidney complications they also found fluid in her lungs (CHF) and the kidney complications also cause elevated bp. So it's all linked in one way or another. She was first hospitalized in mid-april bc her bp was extremely HIGH. She was hospitalized mid-april bc she suffered a mini-stroke, which they call a TIA. It was nothing severe or permanent so we are thankful for that. It was caused by a tiny blood clot in her brain. They said it was clotted with cholesterol. We are pretty strict on her diet, but in older patients having high cholesterol is fairly common. Other than gma's health conditions, everything else has been good. She looks great most of the time. She is not in any pain and the only thing that affects her are the meds. We have developed her daily Rx schedule and it has been working for us so far. She gets dizzy throughout the day so she know she just needs to nap and sleep it off. So you see, I have been worrying quite a bit these past few months. I cannot imagine starting school this july/august! I would not be comfortable. She feels bad b/c she feels she's holdin me back. I told her I would start next year no matter what. I just need to be here with her for a while and then I will do what I need to do with my life. So I will continue to teach the demons of tomorrow until I begin med school. Every day is a struggle and I look forward to Friday throughout the week. I have blessed with an amazing supportive grandmother, great friends, and amazing co-workers. I have a stable job and even though I hate it most of the time I am thankful I have money to pay my school loans and bills. I wish I could learn to relax more, but I am anxious and stressed most of the time. I am glad school is almost over so I can spend more time with gma and so that I can be with her throughout the day. Until next time.. LjO

(1 thought | ~!*TuRtLeS~!*) My summer. [25 Jul 2006|03:24pm] [ mood | chipper ] So other than working I don't do much else. SLeep. COok. Bake every now and then....and just watch as much food network tv as i can! I love that show! I think I want to be a pastry chef.....lol Figured it would work out if I do cereal chemistry......somehow related to BAKING. I can take that course JACK took in grad school......a graduate course in BAKING can't get any better than that. I'm still trying to figure out what im going to do when i graduated. I should *ideally* take the gre before I leave for London, but I have yet to OPEN a gre book. I didnt do so HOT on the SAT and its basically something like that...ehh.. I must tho..so I can start applying when Im in London. At least I wiill have jack with me and he'll help me figure out my life..haha or at least be a guide! So at work we work 8hrs + 2 mandatory over time hours..and one of ur days off you have to go in for 4 hours. ......so today was my 4hr day AND they sent me HOME because I work TOOO mucH!!!!! I was so upset because i only have about 2.5 checks left to go.....they said I had toooooooooo many overtime hours for this last pay period! haha......so what if i dont have a life. and dont judge me! all my money will be divided by TWO and thats how much Ill have. screw you POUND!!!!!!! well im going to go check up on my key lime pie.....and then take a nap..... being off isnt THAT bad......but it doesnt PAY! <3 LJO .............counting down the days............ahhhhhhhh

(1 thought | ~!*TuRtLeS~!*) hello [03 Jun 2006|12:39am] [ mood | sleepy ] [ music | silence ] Well I havent updated in a while... There isnt much going on right now. I finally found a full-time job. It's called ACT..Im in the fraud dept of BofA and I answer phone calls from angry customers. It's prettty crazzzy the types of things people do......Many have made a career out of FRAUD! How crazy is that! I have seen credit lines that are just....WOW. ANyways, other that working I havent been up to a whole lot. I having my last training day tomorrow and then im off..working working working. If I could..and if there were enough hours to give out..I could ideally work 80 hrs a WEEK~!!! That would be great!!!!! Since I am working for my LONDON SPENDING MONEY! SUpposedly at this place you work what you can and they are in great need of people volunteerin to stay longer..so hopefully it works out. I had a hard time finding a job and now that I am about settled into this job, I got another offer. It will eventually pay MORE after the training period, but training for that job is 5 weeks. So I figured I would just stay with ACT..and start rolling in the dough~ oVERTIME here i COME~ other than work..I have started working out again! Time to get rid of all the CHUB that has accumulated over the years. lol. So that is basically my summer..summed up into a few lines..WORK OUT.......WORK.......eat.....SLEEP. Rather dull I know, but you gottta do what you gotta do~ Yeah..exciting! ASHLEY: COngrats on the car! I bet you wont miss paying for gas! haha p.s.

We had to go to a new fruitplace since our spot is closed on tuesday. We got a really good deal.

We will be making some stress balls next week.....GRAB EM BY THE BALLS. Yeah i think everyone is feeling the stress i know i am. I made it at 930 right after tutoring, but i just realized its a TUESDAY= NIP/TUCK.

I got some cool jewerly! and some random shirts..CC..IWHS..NOTRE DAME and an HEB one..hahaha and I got an 89 cent Medical Genetics book. Yeah I am a lil embarassed about that one, but it was a good buy! It has almost everything my book has and it was $130!!!!! The best shop was probably the one waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay out there...peerin bitel? LOL I dont know how to spell it, but its waaay past the airport... then we went to HEB to visit AT and we got a few things we needed THANKS CHUNX you are the BEST! =) then we ate again b/c we are fat like that ZIOS. THen we hit AVM. FOr those of you who know what that means..SHH!! It was an interesting experience..and it's not as bad as i thought. So today was an eventful day. Whenever Chunx and I hang out it ends up being the WHOLE day! haha GOod times. Too bad tomorrow is sunday, which means its a day closer to MONDAY!

I got all this free stuff...like when they sent me the wrong color...marina and chunx both got their own for FREE..and now i get MINE for free. its just the foundation and the mineral veil......i never even use the veil tho. the containers are bigger at sephora...what the freak else they send..for it to have been 45! they must have sent it to my old apt. complex..so they'll probably just FWD it here i suppose. how exciting i love bare minerals! i know this was probably a useless entry, but I like getting free things. who doesnt!
