Updates...

• The deadline for the HuffPo STEM mentoring program has passed in my time zone. I know others still can apply, but I'm being impatient. I want to talk to my mentor NAO.
• I'm joining a new PnP group. Our first meeting is next week. Zach is running a D20 Star Wars game and I am going to be a Kaminoan Scoundrel. Should be interesting since I've almost always been the chick with a stick.
• W&E is tonight and the family only has one car. Dad needs it to go pick up his check, Ma needs to go to work and I have pathfinder. Good news is, Dad may be getting a replacement truck soon.
• SLS is killing me. I am on the verge of a meltdown after almost every class. I don't know what's up with it. Today was okay; we had "career assessments." Number 3 on my list was archaeology. We all know how well that worked out.
• I don't know what I want to do for a career anymore. I had been fairly certain that I wanted to be an aquarist, but looking at the different jobs today, aquatic vet caught my eye. That job can earn so much more money and I hate being poor.
• Everything just seems so ferhudled.

Update Time

It's five in the morning and I am actually awake. I have no idea why. Usually, at five I am just now asleep or very nearly. Not so today. Last night I went to bed and slept and it was not even 10. I guess my brain is weird like that.

On Monday I got a call from Jessica, my caseworker at Florida VR. She told me that I qualified for more qualifying. I got a call yesterday from the psychologist I'll be seeing. He wanted to make sure he had the correct address so he could send me several surveys to bring with me for the first meeting.

And y'all know how much I love surveys.

So next Tuesday I have a meeting with a psychologist whose name has way to many consonants in it. And I don't know how I should be feeling. This will be another step to getting back into college, but I will have been out of school for FOUR semesters at worst. I am afraid I wont be able to cope with the sudden influx of work. But there is also part of me that relishes the rush of doing something and having it matter even slightly.

When I get this weeks allowance, if I do, I'm probably going to visit the teaching zoo again. I only wnet there once and It was raining all that time. It was very quiet. I'll also see how the monkey cage that was re-propped weathered.
