(no subject)
I found out a few days ago that I was accepted in to the Psychology program at USF St. Pete. I start classes in the Fall and can not wait to begin studying the subject I want to be my career. The campus is downtown right on the water and next to the Dali museum. I've been looking at the website for Student Affairs and it seems like they have a lot of fun activities going on. They have scuba classes as well as parasailing lessons and have boats and jet skis available for rent. I'm glad I applied for this campus rather than the Tampa one because the student body is much smaller (about 3,500) and I've read that the classes are smaller and more open for discussion and debate. And, downtown St. Pete just kicks ass with all of the fun shops and Baywalk and Central Ave in general. Dad was very excited and I went out and bought him a USF DAD bumper sticker he will proudly display on his truck. And, this morning, I went to the pediatrician and had 4 immunizations, including the HPV one that stings like hell! I opted to get the Hepatitis A one and my dad informed me that supposedly Hepatitis is becoming an "epidemic near the Lake Okeechobee (sp?) area." Hm.
I see the attorney's Orthopedist tomorrow and it's supposed to be the visit that, after all his diagnoses have been made, will really begin the lawsuit against City of Dunedin. The paralegal told me that once the Doctor faxes all the papers from tomorrow, the lawyer will then send a letter to Dunedin asking for a certain amount. 75% of these letters end in a settlement and the other portion go to court. I really hope I'm part of the 75%. My neck and intrascapular areas are bothering me and it feels like, especially in the shoulders, it's becoming worse. I have this pain on the R side that begins in the neck near the base of the skull and seems to shoot down to my elbow. Rarely, it goes in to my wrist as well. It makes sense. According to my hypochondriac-induced research, it could very well be nerve damage. I haven't been to the batting cages since March and I'm starting to feel frustrated. Hitting balls was such amazing anger release.
Dad made me go look at apartments today. He insists on helping me out with housing so I don't take out student loans. Ben and I found a really nice place on 77 Ave N and 4th St N where a HUGE 2 bed/2 bath is on special for 644/month if you take out a 13 month lease. It's 10 minutes from campus and has a bus that goes straight there. It's not affiliated with USF so I don't need to worry about all the residents being obnoxious drunk college students. Dad's coming to look at it for himself on Thursday. Before he agreed to look at it, he had to show me his new trick. He found the website where you can search for sexual predators and was so excited to show it to me that I couldn't bring myself to tell him that Aunt Bonnie and I found it four years ago. He thinks it "revolutionary" and was very happy to see that there were no predators in this complex.
And and and...I got a new car! It's a Jetta and I love it because it's almost the exact color of the Corolla (RIP-Best Car Ever 2004-2007). It has all leather and a sunroof and an amazing sound system. Ben likes it because it's Turbo. Tiki man is already on the rear-view mirror too.
Life is looking good.
