I got a second job as a teacher assistant at Sylvan Learning Center. An actual fun place to work, the children that enter Sylvan's doors each day are quite well behaved and some of them are even, get this, really cute. However it did take them almost a month to give me a paycheck thanks to a payroll screw up. Let's not let that happen again.
I've finally got around to scheduling a day to take the GRE. The testing center that administers the test is actually located at Sylvan. I've taken a day off for it and I hope I do well. Now I'm one step closer to getting into grad school (hopefully). I really hope I do decently.
I'll no longer be attending my C/BR's friend's wedding, a decision that became solidified after receiving a comment from her about my reaction to her etiquette post. Geeze, you thought that I had talked about her mama or somethin'. Anyways, no biggie. I still wish the couple all the happiness in the world and I hope that their special day is one to remember.
Friends from the past have resurfaced and for once, we are both trying to establish permenant places in each other's lives. One is my best friend from middle and high school, another a guy that I dated briefly in high school and another is someone I'd "met" my junior year of college that I'd been in and out of touch with over the last 4 years. I hope that with the rekindling of old friendships that they'll last. I'm very tired of people popping in and out of my life and for those who are truly worth it, I'll fight to keep them there.
I went out looking for a car in hopes that finally I'd be able to get some transportation of my own, only to hit a road block or two. I was pretty hard on myself about it at first, but I've now gotten a grip and know that all will come in due time. I do feel that in the last month or so, my faith, my spirituality has been challenged in every way possible. There have been instances where I felt like "Gee, what's going to go wrong next?" but the Lord has truly brought me through these moments of self-doubt and I'm thanking him each day for everything that comes my way. I told my cousin that she was my best friend and I hope that doesn't jinx our relationship. She's known me like for 17 years, been there through thick and thin, knows some of my deepest secrets, enough that if she wanted, she could frame me for a serious crime and get me locked up if she wanted to. Always totally honest, unconditionally caring and looking out for me, she's never left me to fry unlike many who have forsaken me. She's shares in my dreams and always helps to cheer me up when I'm feeling a little down. I'm so blessed to have her not just as a friend but as family. I LOVE YOU MG!
