At last, a deep breath of relief
Oh yes, I completed my Journalism final about twenty minutes ago and sent it in to be graded and returned with the A I am very confident I will receive in this class and final exam.
Yesterday I took my political science final and was shocked to realize how much I retained via various learning manipulatives by actually studying for the previous four nights. If I wouldn't have studied for the final I would not have passed the class because I had missed three tests due to traveling and well, procrastination and getting my due dates all jumbled.
With that said, I completed yet another semester of school and am now three classes away from my Associate's degree. Wow, it seemed like I would never get this far; I just take classes because well, I believe firmly in the continued enrichment of one's frame of reference and education but somehow lost sight that although going part time in the evenings and online, it can actually lead to a degree. Now for the next 5 weeks off to enjoy working my new part time job instead- I got a job at a local Comedy Club. My boss is amazingly groovy (and cute although married) and I will be getting paid to do what I love best- talk with people and make them laugh before the show starts. How cool is that?!
Employee lounge with catered dinners every night, etc... wow, I think I may like the sounds of this one.
The bad news of the new job? I have to cancel my plans to fly to LA and sing in my friend's wedding because I will be working the Friday and Saturday before New Year's and I won't be able to make it. I will also have to give them the hundred bucks back they sent me to book the flight and pay for my trip. I feel bad but I need to do what's best of me.
All in all it's been a stressful, exhausting week- mentally with finals, physically from picking up my house and also carrying bags of gifts in each night from the car, financially because I can't steal such said gifts, emotionally because I am still questioning a lot of friendships that I have, and throw that in with some upset customers at work and Michelle's arrival tomorrow night and I have been getting about four to five hours of sleep each night. On that note, I need my five hours of sleep so I am going to bed.
