Summertime!

      First off... Sorry for the lack of posts. Work has been so crazy. I started working as a pharmacy technician back in January, and I had to finish a training workbook and some computer based training before I could get into the next part of my training, which will be registering with the NBoP (I think), and then moving on to getting my certification.
      I absolutely love my new job class. The pharmacy is so interesting, and it has really inspired me to try new things, career-wise. I have learned so many new things and I am so blessed to be working in the field I am in , but moving up took a serious toll on my grades. I did better this semester than last semester, but I am still in alot of hot water right now as far as my GPA goes. Next week, I have to meet with an academic advisor and discuss some things and see where this road is going to take me.
      This is just one of the many perks of being a working college student. It's not easy at all, especially when you're the oldest of three, and moderately active in your church group. My choice to manage my time poorly is going to set my "transfer/move" date even further away, but at least I don't have anyone else to blame. (It's much easier to clean up a mess you made yourself rather than one made by someone else. Trust me.) I am going to continue looking at schools and apartments over the summer so I can figure out how to appropriately budget my money before I actually leave. (Don't want any financial problems right when I leave.) Getting my pharmacy technician certification will also be a major help because it may possibly be easier to find a job out of state if I've had enough experience  in a pharmacy and have my certification and outstanding references as well.
      In the midst of this educational "purgatory" I am still going to try to keep a positive attitude. I have a great church group that is really helping me grow spiritually. If I had left when I wanted to, I may not have been able to get a ticket to Passion for next year, and I think that is something that will really help me in my walk with God, and it's something I want to experience with my home church and with people I have known for a while. I feel like God has big plans for me, and if I weren't here, those plans would not be getting fulfilled.
      So... This summer, my goal is to get my mind right and get my heart in the right place for school to start again. I gotta be sharp when I go back so I can get rollin' on these college applications!


More later,
