Overwhelmed
I'm beginning to feel overwhelmed....
School began and it's hard juggling it and work. Make sure that assigments are done before I do other social activities, still continue to deal with my responsibilities for work, and then still have time to do the things that make me happy, and keep a routine, etc.
I like school. The class I signed up for eases you into the program and then it get's progressively harder. This first week covered veterinary terminology, OSHA, and the makeup of words- prefixex, suffixes, roots.... I finished the exam at 11 pm Friday evening so that I'd have this weekend to get ahead for next week's assigments and so I didn't have to worry about doing it in between all the other stuff I have to do this weekend and this week.
This weekend consisted of a memorial service for a friend, a party at a workmates house and then today is a chill/relax day in prep for tomorrow. The party last night was awesome. It was a work night to get stuff made for this weeks annual parade in our town. My animal hospital decided to do a parade float and we had to work on the design and posters and paint the hospital sign. We recreated our road sign out of plywood and it looks freaking awesome. Alot of people from the clinic didn't show up to help which pissed me off. We needed alot of help and it was only like 4 of us there to do the work lastnight. We had a blast though. Some painted the sign, while some of us worked on the paper mache dog bone. We also cleaned up a big dog house and my dad found a REAL fire hydrant that we're gonna paint and put on the float. And then we'll have hand-made posters advertising the clinic and what we do. We also have goodie bags to hand out. And the clinic staff is all gonna sit on dog food bags. It's gonna be cute but still alot of work needs to be done.
I'm having a work night for it here at my house Wed. evening..... and I'm providing dinner which just adds more work. But people gotta eat, especially if they're coming straight here after work. But hopefully we'll get it done before the parade on Thursday.
Oh and to add to all that, I signed up for behind the wheel driving instruction today.....I'm absolutely freaking not thrilled. But it has to be done..... I have the desire for more independence but the thought of driving scares the crap out of me- It's a big responsibility and I don't want to screw up. I need a car and to drive myself to and from work. I can't keep relying on my parents. They're looking into cars for me....either a used VW Jetta or possibly pricing a new Chevy Cobalt or Focus or something similar.
I've got to go get some work done for my class. I hope my life calms down some over the next couple of weeks. I've just gotta get used to the new routine.
