still alive...and doing great!
I'm still doing pretty good over here... stressing out A LOT right now with work and finals coming up (as with everyone else I'm sure)...
I finally got a letter last week that I made it into the Mortuary Science program at Cypress!!! YEAAAHHH! I'm so excited! I have a info meeting next week to go to and then sometime during the summer I need a physical (to see that I'm physical AND mentally healthy to handle the job) and I need a bunch of shots so that I don't get diseases from the dead bodies and other sources. I haven't been this excited in a looonnngg time. I'm finally am going to be on my way to start my career. I mean, I know I'm just going through school right now, but it's only for a year and a half, get my A.A., then I take two exams (one to be a licensed embalmer in California and another to be licensed funeral directer in CA), then I go on a two year apprenticeship (spelling?) and then I'm free woman! If I want to I can just work for a company OR I can run my own mortuary! I could be a business owner if I wanted!
I picked up another job working for my dad at his shop. I basically am just the office manager's assistant and just do whatever she tells me to do. Mostly right now I'm just answering phones, filing jobs and closing jobs on the computer. It definitely pays better than Torrid, even though I just got a raise. The stores been in havic right now because we just got ANOTHER new manager and two new assistant managers. The store is changing a lot... but I wouldn't say for the worse. What's cool about my job at my dad's shop is that I'm being paid under the table so no taxes come out of the hard earned money I earn.
School is seriously going to be the end of me right now... it's so close to finals so all of the teachers are trying to cram everything all in within the last week before finals. It's not too bad though... I guess it can always be worse.
I'm taking three classes during the summer so I can finish my G.E. before I start the Mortuary Science program. I'll be taking general psychology online during the first half of the summer. I originally was going to take Human Sexuality online but I was already going to take my other two classes at the same time, and I'm not about to kill myself by taking three classes in one month during the summer all together... that would just be suicide. During the second half of the summer I'm going to take Western civilization(which also counts as the Multicultural requirement as well) and Yoga(why you have to take a P.E. to receive a degree is beyond me).
Kevin and I are still doing awesome for those that care. With our schedules we don't really see eachother too often right now, but things will clear up a little during the summer. Were going to take a weeks vacation at the end of June with 8 other of his friends in Sequoia(spelling?) by a few lakes and rivers. I guess Kevin and his friends have been doing this annual vacation for years. They rent out a two story house and we get to stay there for 5 days and 4 nights for only $130 per person. I'm so excited! This trip is going to be a blast! Were going to meet for dinner tomorrow to talk about the trip, with the costs and what we're going to do and everything else..
Also... since my last entry was my birthday April 19th... yay! I'm 19 now! Not too exciting... but I had a wonderful birthday week. My mom took me out and spoiled me rotten on my birthday by taking me shopping and going to the cheesecake factory ... mmm... cheesecake... I spent the whole day with my mom only because my dad was out of town, Kevin had to go to school then work the whole day and night, and Erin completely forgot my birthday. It seriously didn't bother me too much because I had a great time with my mom. That Thurs kevin told me to meet him at his house at 9am in the morning a surprised me with season passes to six flags! YAY!! So we went and spent the whole day there practically walking on the rides. Also he got me "Halloween" the 25th Anniversary edition and the Phantom of the Opera movie soundtrack... I just got so spoiled that day. When my dad finally got home from his business trip the whole family and I went to Black Angus and my Dad got me a digital camera! YAY! I know most of you are thinking... GOD that girl is so spoiled! Well you know what? I am.
Well... I think this entry is getting rather long so I guess I'll just cut it there... other wise I'll be here all night typing. For those who have actually read this whole thing... wow, congrats for not falling asleep...
