Sorry guys, once again! It's been a while since I've been able to update! I am in the midst of taking 24937530 tests for school and then working 45384620 hours! okay okay.. those numbers are a little exaggerated, but still. I've been extremely busy!
It's Christmas time and we all know what that means: finals for class, much Christmas shopping, hectic roads, and busy work schedules. All of these have existed for me. Thankfully I was able to do a lot of Christmas shopping last month and I can just grab little things here and there right now. I've also took on the hobby of crocheting and I'm trying to give gifts through doing that since it's much cheaper. That sounds horrible, but as a college student, I am one broke girl!
Hectic roads, well... the Flowood area has been crazy here lately. Dogwood mall is packed and Lakeland Drive needs to expand! The Mississippi Dept. of Transportation needs to figure a way to widen Lakeland Drive in that area because dernit It takes me soooooo long to get to school in the morning, and it's going to be worse when I start radiology school since it's much further than where I am now. I guess I'm being a little selfish asking for them to do that, but I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who thinks like this! If you live around the same area I do, you understand! This is the time of the year where many wrecks happen and the Police motor home takes up 2 parking spots at the mall!
Finals start on Thursday for me, but some brilliant teachers of mine have decided to give last unit tests on Wednesday... and then my finals on Friday. Isn't that just the sweetest thing in the world?! Not! I'm totally stressed and ready for it all to be over with! Thankfully, I was able to take off of work for the week to give myself some studying time, or else... those grades would not be looking too good. I'm the type of person who has to have at least SOME sleep. Doesn't always have to be a full 8 hours.. Sometimes even 3 will do the job, but I can't go a whole night without sleep and function properly. I don't know how some of these kids do it! Yes, I have done it.. but it has resulted in a paper that was written with jibberish, or some reading I have done that I don't even remember what I read. Funny, huh? Well, that's how it happens. So, if I add it all together, I have 6 tests this coming up week and one on the following Monday and then I am done! Thank you, Jesus! I have decided to take a semester out of school because I need no more pre-requisite courses and I need a break! If you know me, you understand. I'm constantly on the go and super busy. I need to take some time for myself and slow down a little bit. I'm going to be working as much as I can during this time and saving up money for when I go to Radiology school in the fall. I will need all the money I can save up because I won't be able to work much during those years. Thankfully, I have a wonderful guy in my life who will help me through it all!
Christmas time is always hectic at work! I work in a banquet hall and all of the businesses around the area like to book their business Christmas parties through us. Of course, I love my job, but during this time there are some pretty crazy shifts. Sometimes this includes 15 hour work days. I mean that literally. LOL! I do enjoy it though, I will say that. It is very tiring at times, but it suits me. It certainly gives me an opportunity to meet several people and allows me to learn of all the companies around hence most of our events at work are business meetings and things of that sort. We do have Wedding rehearsal dinners, receptions, breast cancer luncheons, etc... at times, but for the most part, it's business things that take over. We have also had proms! Such a fun time to work! I never attended my prom in high school. I was always so shy and I definitely can't dance. I do regret that now, but that's okay. I still don't like to dance and can't, so my friends have to drag me out to the floor every now and then.
anddddd on a good note, I have received a letter from the radiology department at Hind's Community College. It was not an acceptance letter, but it was a letter asking me to send in something showing I have worked with a radiologist for four hours by January 31st. For some reason, this letter has given me a good feeling! I've been super excited about the whole thing and praying that I can get in. I would much rather go to UMC Radiology school, but if I'm not accepted there, then I will settle with Hind's.
You will most likely not hear from me again until after finals! Enjoy your next couple of weeks!
one busy,
Lauren
