Well Shit

So I haven't posted in close to a month, but I swear I have a decent reason. Er... Reasons. Multiple reasons.

At the beginning of the month, I started looking into schools with a pharmacy technician program so that I could learn all I could stuff into my little brain and take the national exam. I found a school that I liked. It was nice, small, with a very small class size and a high graduation and job placement statistic. The only real problem with this was it ended up being too perfect. The classes ran from 8:30am-1pm. I work from 10am-4pm. That doesn't end up working out very well, honestly.

I then took the entrance quizzy thing just for shits and grins because the lady in admissions said it would be nice just in case I could work out my work schedule. I took it, and apparently, I had a high enough score because she jokingly asked if I was sure I didn't want to be in her LPN class instead.

She sent me home with information, and all that jazz for me to look through before I made a decision. Due to a lot of typos in the program catalog she had given me, I ended up on the page for the nursing program instead of the pharmacy technician. I looked it over, discovered it had a night class, and BAM! I'm suddenly looking into nursing instead of pharm tech.

So that was about three weeks ago. I start classes next week. You can see how attempting to prepare for school in three weeks can be a bit time consuming with the financial aid nonsense.

I wish that was all, but at the beginning of this week, my car breaks down. I'm due to start classes next week, I have all of my start up costs in the bank, and my car breaks down. I was so pissed. I brought it into the shop, and called the school to tell them I may have to wait until January because the money I had saved for school is suddenly being thrown into my car instead.

Well, this school is awesome. I was told not to worry about it, they'd find someone who could carpool with me until I get my car fixed, and they can work with me on the start up costs (most of which are for a supplemental anatomy and physiology class). That helped a lot, but between that and not having all of my paperwork completed, I was on the verge of a very large panic attack.

A little background about my car. I got this car last December when my first car developed a case of rust so bad that it couldn't be repaired. I still owe close to four thousand dollars on this thing, so you can see where my panic mode kicked in. I was more worried about suddenly being without a car, but still having loan payments than anything else.

But anyway! Car's fixed, I'm still starting school, and I will hopefully be back to my regular weekly rants next Friday!
