Been a while since ive last updated.
First off, thanks to all who wished me happy birthday.
I'm finally 18. It's great, my parents are actually laying off me now. I have yet to stay out til my new curfew because of work, but at least i know i have til later. And krista can actually be in my room with the door shut, yay.
I just set up my pension shit...figure itll be smart to set aside cash for retirement asap. and on top of that, i now have money being automatically thrown into my savings (a little more than i would have been paying for rent) to save up for a different car. I'm looking at saving around 400 a month for a year, then I'll have plenty to put on a downpayment and my insurance should have gone down by my 19th birthday--always a plus.
so people are pissed at me for choosing the choices i have. Yea, fuck that. I can see why they are upset, but for fuck sake, look at my side of the situation too. You all would do the same I am if you were in my position.
Work is going well. This is my last week on day shifts. I believe i have to train on afternoons for a week or two before I switch over to my midnights. I'm really liking my job, I get to see a lot of fucked up shit. Nothing gets to me yet, and I've seen just about it all. Only thing that is sad is when theres a Pediatric patient going into sergury. Everyone seems to like me at work too, which is always a plus. All the shit i've gone through so far has made me switch to pre-nursing. I'm on an accelerated course to have all my pre-req's completed by Fall 06 so I can apply to the school of nursing in spring of 05. Hopefully there won't be much of a lay over between the time im accepted and admitted into the program. I am probably looking at fall 07 or winter 08. But whatever, I have other shit i can be taking and/or just work fulltime and have my own benifits.
Things have been going well with kris. I was actually civilized and held a complete conversation with her *shocked*. Shes really scared right now about some shit going on in her life, and I feel so bad for her. I just hope im doing enough to help comfort her. Just know that no matter what, you aren't going through this alone. I love you and I will be here along side you throughout it all.
I hate school right now. probably failing MTH121. Its a pain in the ass, projects suck, got a 59 on my test. thought i did worse, so whatever. its almost a passing grade. I just hope that my group can pull thru this project enough to give me at least a 2.0 to get my damn credit for this class. Maybe ill take it again a couple semesters down the road if i have time to fill in. If not, fuck it, I dont need it.
So who all has their christmas shopping done? haha, krista hates that word. Christmas Christmas Christmas!! and guess what!! IT SNOWS DURING CHRISTMAS HOLIDAY :D muahahaha I win. I have some of my shopping done, have a few things for krista already, moms done, brothers sorta done..cant buy his til later this year (lift ticket, hes doing the same for me), dunno what to get my sister..and theres something were all supposed to be chipping in for my dad. Im just so happy that I can finally afford to buy everyone gifts. I always hated not being able to buy everyone one when they got me one.
Oh yea, in celebration of my new job and my kick ass paychecks, I went and bought a new snowboard. Needed a new one anyways. Its kick ass, sweet graphics, spent 400 dollars, its all worth it in the end. Brothers pissed because he wanted that board. Haha, ah well, its mine now bitch. Maybe I can actually take krista out on a trip sometime this winter. I know I will be going as much as I can, and already have loose plans to go with a bunch of people from school. I really can't wait for the snow to fall harder than it did today. I'm so jelous of everyone at CMU or in the UP. they are getting creamed with snow today. Ah well, our turn is coming.
I suppose im done for now, I love you.
