I want to party :D
Soooooooo today has probably been the happiest day for me since i proposed to heather. This last week has been pretty busy and stressful and has been leading up to this. 2 big things have been coming up the first being an interview for a Regional Dispatcher at KCI. I really want this position because it would be a mon thru fri either 8-4:30 or 10-6:30, plus i would have all holidays off. the other big bonus would be i would prolly get a 1 to 2 dollar raise. So I had that interview this morning at 8 am and I feel like i nailed it. If it went as good as i thought it did i think i have a really good chance of getting it. both the money and hours would go a long way in really stabilizing my life.
The other big thing is I have been talking with the German teacher at cod about taking a test to get some of the credits i need towards my Associates degree. After talking with her we set up today for me to go in and take the test. I originally asked her if i could just take german 1 test but she said all they had was one test that encompassed both german 1 and 2. She said this was for 4 credits so with that if i passed i would only need 1 more credit and could take a typing course or something like it for the last credit. So for the past week ive been up late studying german (about 3 hours a night) because it was 8 years ago that i last took the class. I was worried that i would fail the test and not get any of the credits. Then today i went into COD to meet with her and take the test having no idea how i would do. When i got there i found out that the german 1 and 2 test is worth 8 credits and she meant if i could only get through the german 1 stuff i would get 4 credits for that but if i could do it all i would get the full 8 credits. Upon hearing this i felt a lot better because i was pretty confident i could pass german 1. When i finally sat down with the teacher and we started the test i was feeling pretty good. After about the first half i thought i was doing amazing and thought i might be able to pass both sections of the test. So at the end i had a writing section and as i started that the teacher went to go grade my test. She got back as i finished the writing section and said I got over a 90% on the german 1 section and a 68% on the german 2. So she said on the whole test i got an 80%. then after looking over my writing section (which i thought i did terrible) she said that it was good and i definitely had the proficiency for german 1 and 2. So i got the 8 credits for the test and all the credits i needed for my associates degree. I then went right to a counselor made sure i had everything done that i needed to and filled out a petition to graduate. Upon leaving COD i was soooo happy i thought that i might start to cry. this has been a 6 year endeavor for me and you have no idea how happy i am to have it done. I know its just an associates degree but i feel really proud of myself that i was able to stick with it and get it done.
A few other things that are going on im almost done paying off all my credit cards and have only 1400 left to pay off which im hoping to have payed off by the end of the year. After that i want to start a savings account to eventually buy a house.
Also heather and possibly elyse have gotten x sport memberships with me and ive started working out again. I really need to get back into it because ive already lost so much. Hopefully i can get back to 200 bench in a month.
Sorry this was soooo long just wanted to get it out and thanks to those who read it :D
