Update, school, job, and family tree

Well thought I better give an update. I am five weeks post-op today. Doing well. I have what I think is my last post-op appointment tomorrow. Next week I am supposed to be able to put my arms up and start doing arm exercises if I want as well as wear underwire bras. I have to go bra shopping and start trying on my clothes to see what I am keepig or not.

I am also still job searching. I think I have put out around 45 applications without the hint of even an interview. It is very frustrating especially when I am not used to this kind of job searching. I had no problem getting my last two jobs.

I am also about one month away from completing my first semester with WSU to get my Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree. Not sure if I will be taking 6 or 8 credits for summer. Probably 6 since it is a shorter semester. I will be taking three more semesters with either 6 or 8 credits to finish my last 20. Should be done May 2011. I have to take at least 6 credits at a time to get the financial aid. Just starting taking out loans I am going to have to pay back. That is somewhat disappointing, but I know that most have a lot of debt to pay off already so I am actually doing rather well in that arena. Just need that darn job to start paying things off and of course buying things too. :)

Yesterday I also started to work on a family tree. I have been wanting to do this. I really am pretty ignorant when it comes to family. Being in my Plateau Tribes Indians Health class has also made me decide to do this so I know more of my heritage. It is definetly going to be quite a project, but hopefully interesting at the same time.

Finally, I am working on selling my car so that I can get something newer. Nothing too exciting just something I am having problems with here and there and something that I can own and not pay payments on. This way when I get a job I can worry about paying Josh back, school loans, buying furniture and such, and moving out.

I should also mention that we have been watching a Boxer named Lilly for someone my dad knows. She has definelty grown on me. I will miss her when she leaves on April 3rd and goes home wherever that may end up being.

Well that's all for now.
