Sorry for not posting much, with computer stuff going to the way side for a while, LJ just got mostly forgot. Anyway, here is an update of what is going on in my life. 2011 was pretty good for me. I had a steady job, a steady girlfriend, and finished my Associates Degree. (Whee I'm so happy, now to just remember to apply for it...) I am hoping that 2012 will be better, it has all the trappings to make it better. My boss is supposedly working on getting me a raise, it is my raise to technician wages. Currently I am still getting cashier wages, and tech wages would be almost 1.5 of that. I keep trying to remind him that I went to school to be a tech (rare in Oregon, also incurred some school debt), I had my national certification before starting there, another rarity in the tech field. I got my "Rite-Aid certification" in the 6 months it takes (They wont let you do it faster). Basically it comes down to this, I want and need my tech wages. In other news, I am 21 credits away from starting Pharmacy school. Some of those are easy, I need 7 credits of basic bio for example. I aced three terms of human anatomy and physiology with the hardest professor in the college...but I need to know basics I guess. I have to take calculus, and that kind of scares me. The last time I tried I did not do well. I will refuse to fail though. Other than that, I need classes that I can not get at a community college, like biochem and organic chem. Overall I am very excited. I am slowly losing weight also. Over the course of 4 months or so, I have lost 10 pounds. I need to lose at least 35 more before my BMI says I am at an acceptable level. I am working on whitening my teeth as well, oral hygiene has always been a problem for me.
Well that's basically it. Things are getting better slowly, and I hope 2012 is good for me.
