Apparently I need an editor
Ok so my last few post have been from the middle of night. That is my excuse for them not entirely making sense and i'm sticking to it! But the good news is!! Drum roll please!! I dont have to work graves anymore! I know! Exciting! I got a full time shift at work, and i'm sooooo excited about it. It works well with school so yes, i will be working full time and going to school full time. But i'm super women remember?! lol actually it wont be that bad. the shift is mostly swing shifts (3-11) and its only 4 days a week. Plus i'm now eligible for benefits and i've heard that they offer really good benefits which will be nice. And a super big plus is i actually will have specific patients that i will be working one on one with. Its giving me a head start for grad school. I'm kind of nervous about it right now. I have my first meetings with them tomorrow and i dont really know what i'm doing. lol. so hopefully they do! thats one of the great things about my job (and a bad one too) the patients sometimes know more than i do about the program and whats going on. which makes sense because they're living in it. so it makes it nice when i have questions and there isnt another tech around that knows the answer. I just ask a patient! But it also makes it not so good when they say that the rules say they can do something i dont know if they really can or they are just saying that. i'm all the sudden feeling alot of empathy substitute teachers... But yeah. I'm excited. This week has been a little crazy because its family week at work. which means lots of tears, demanding parents, family therapy, and lightbulbs (meaning you meet their parents and go "ooooh so thats why you're here." which makes me really sad.) so yes. its my second family week that i've worked and i have to say that i dont like it anymore than i did the first time. its a good thing to have and i understand the value of it. it just stresses me, and all the other techs (and all the patients actually) out. so i will be happy when its over and life at the center returns to normal. or at least our version of normal. ;)

A Whole New Year
Ah 2011... What wonders will you bring me? I'm starting to wonder why i make new years resolutions cuz i never follow through with them. Though i actually have on one of them. but thats cuz its easy. So here are the ones i've made (along with my progress):
1. Catch up with my family's old testement reading plan and stay caught up.
progress: havent even started. still on Duet. 6 I'm supposed to be to 1Kings 17 by the end of the month. Ha!
2. Exercise 3 times a week for a least a half hour
Progress: we got a pass to the orem rec center and i walked a mile around the track. go me. ;)
3. Say morning prayers
Progress: Hasnt happened yet
4.Put at least $50 from each pay check in savings towards a graduation trip.
Progress: Done it! Go me! Ps i still dont know where i want to go. so i'm open to suggestions!
5. Get a 4.0 this semester
Progress: I'm actually completely up to date in all my classes! I know, weird.
6. Do visiting teaching every month
progress: nope.
So there ya go. Maybe i'll check in every month to see how its going. prolly not though. cuz like i said, i almost never follow through with these and who wants to watch me fail? i mean seriously.
So my classes this semester are AWESOME! except for my institute class. nightmare! but i get free parking for going so go i shall!
Beyond that my life has been boring. I love my job (though i hate working graves). I love my classes. I have to come of with a list of 100 life goals for one of my classes. so far i have 55 i think. its been a fun assignment. right now i'm thinking alot about grad school and where i want to go and if i want to take a year off... when i'm going to take the the STUPID gre... blah. its kind of stressful. partly because i've kind of decided that i want to go out of state, i want to get the "beyond utah" experience. but that just means i would have to move and not know anyone and have to money to do it... which would be ALOT of money, grad programs are already expensive at living expenses on top of it... but we'll see. what is supposed to happen with happen.
