So, things are looking up. I got a letter in the mail on Monday from DBCC stating that I had passed the aptitude exam. It also stated that they would be contacting applicants in late summer to early fall to schedule interviews. So, that is a good thing. I also found out that I actually had to apply to the college, so I got that all done and I am now able to get onto their FalconNet (which is sort of like eSantafe). Now I am just waiting to hear back from the admissions office that they do have my transcripts and are getting everything transferred correctly.

In the mean time, I have been trying to search for rentals in Daytona. I know that it's a little too soon to be planning this kind of stuff, especially since I don't know if I got in or not, but if I don't find out until October on acceptance, and classes start in January, I need to be finding something. So, I've been spending day and night searching for places. I've found a few good spots, but it's just stressing me out because I won't be able to work while I'm in the program, so I'm trying to figure out how I'm going to afford rent, let alone everything else. It's going to be tight, but I think I can handle it...even if I have to work while in the program. We'll see.

Mood: SICK!!!!


Haven't been feeling well for a week now. I just started out feeling really dizzy. Then it progressed into a cough on Saturday. Now it's coughing with lots of congestion in my chest and head. And I can't talk worth crap! It sucks. It's really been effecting how I feel. Luckily I've been having to go into work at 3, so I've been able to get plenty of rest. Hopefully, one day, I'll feel better.

I'm so ready for the weekend! My last day at the L & W is Saturday. Kyle and I are going to Daytona next Tuesday and Wednesday. I have to take DBCC's aptitude exam on Wednesday morning, so I figured it'd be easier to spend the night, that way I'm not driving to Daytona at 5 in the morning.

It's raining....it's so nice. Now is the time when I wish I didn't have to go to work in an hour. I love rain. I love to just lay in the bed and listen to it on the roof.

So, yeah. That's all that's going on. Nothing exciting...but then again, it's never exciting when you're sick.

Good evening, kids!

Lots of good news...well, only two things, actually.

Kyle is officially a full-timer as of today. If he wants to continue on for management, he could be a manager in about a year and a half, or two.

The other good news is that I got my A.A. diploma in the mail today!! Wahoo!! At least I finally have something to show for the four years I've been sweating over school. It just makes me feel good to know that I've at least accomplished something after high school.

I worked on my dad's present for Father's day. I just made a little scrapbook with different pictures of me over the years. My mom bought a picture frame that I decorated and put a picture of me and my dad in. I was probably about a year old in the picture. So cute.

Lady and the Tramp is such an awesome movie. I haven't watched it in forever. Classic movie...a good one, too.

I am convinced that I am making an A in medical terminology. The software/online class is so user friendly. I've gotten nothing but A's on the quizzes and tests. Bring on that midterm! I'm ready for it!!

As for other areas of my life, they are busy. Work is keeping me busy six days a week.

But I am thinking about leaving the liquor and wine store. Don't get me wrong. I love working with the people there, and I love the social aspect of it, but it's the manager I can't stand. Let alone I am treated like a kid at home, and even more so at work. How ridiculous is that? She talks to me like I'm freakin' five years old or something. Not my idea of a real job. So, I'm thinking about leaving, and apparently I'm not the only one. But Nick (from the pharmacy) is going out of the country next month, so I can probably pick up all of his hours. Oh yeah....I'd much rather get more hours making $8/hr. than the $6.75 I'm getting at the liquor store. And I was offered a GOOD paying babysitting job today by another pharmacist that I work with. Just something that I can keep in mind.

I'm trying to get everything in line for my application process for SFCC and DBCC. Everything is set for SFCC. I'm just waiting on a letter to tell me yes or no. As for DBCC, I'm waiting for one of my references to send a letter back, and I'm waiting for DBCC to get my core classes needed for the program transferred and into their system. They've gotten my college transcripts, but they just need to transfer the credits for the required core classes. I need to call them about that on Monday. They told me that I could go online and check it (kind of like eSantafe), but I guess they don't have me in the system, so I couldn't access it, therefore making me do things the old fashion way. What a bummer....LOL.

I'm trying to get Kyle to teach me to ride the motorcycle, but we just don't have the time. I want to at least know how to ride by October for Biketoberfest, but I don't know. Time is flying by so fast. He already wants an upgrade of his bike, and he said when he did that, I could just get the one he has now. Which that isn't bad. I love it. I'm a speed demon!

Went to the doctor the other day. Found out I have a cyst on my right breast. Talk about freaking out! I was scared. They scheduled me for an ultrasound and mammogram to make sure it wasn't cancerous or anything. It all turned out okay. It's just something that I have to keep an eye on, and if something changes, I have to let them know ASAP. "Welcome to womanhood" as the radiologist told me yesterday. Yeah....

Anywho. The world keeps on spinning and I have things to do. Toodles!

Hello....

Yeah. I know it's been a while, but there's not much I can do about that.

The wedding this past weekend went okay. I feel sorry for Ty and Suzy, though. I don't think it went as well as they wanted it to (or should have been). But it was a nice little vacation in Jacksonville. It was nice to just get away for a few days.

We went to Dave & Buster's Friday night for the rehearsal dinner. It's was a hoppin' place. First time I'd ever been there. Everyone did this photo booth where you can "make babies." It takes your picture and your significant other's and generates a baby for you. Mine and Kyle's turned out cute. LOL....out of everyone's, we won the contest for cutest baby!! LOL.

Saturday was the wedding. It was at St. Joseph's Catholic Church. The church was absolutely beautiful!!! The reception was across the street. We had so much fun. I don't think I've ever danced so much in my entire life. That night, all of Kyle's siblings and significant other's (minus Ty and Suzy)and I went out to eat. We had a good time sitting around and talking.

Yesterday Kyle and I left as early as possible and came home. We were going to go to the beach, but decided against it....we were just ready to get home. We got here and went to Derrick's house and hung out there for a while. That night we went and saw 'Cars.' That was the COOLEST movie. I'm definitely buying it when it comes out on DVD.

And it was back to work this morning for me. No fun. My vacation started and ended in a heartbeat.

Today's weather is crappy. Tropical Storm Alberto is moving through the Gulf. It's suppose to hit land either tonight or tomorrow ( I haven't heard the latest), but we're already getting wind and rain from it. Yucky, but we need it.

Sarah, I promise I will write you as soon as I get some extra free time!! Happy birthday to Josiah!! I love you guys!
