Long time, no typey. I feel like I've been pretty busy this summer, but then I stop and think about what I've actually done, and... not so much really. I got my scores for my state content mastery test this past Friday, and I passed with flying colors! Well, I passed comfortably, not so much with flying. 277/300 scaled score, 90% accuracy. Of the 12 questions I missed, 3 are in the content area I'm never going to teach, and 4 weren't actually about content. So yay.

I've been taking some of my teacher prep classes, and they're actually kind of fun. I'm also getting a lot of really great advice which is helping me to way de-stress about the whole thing. I have 2 days left of the one I'm currently in, plus all of the online work (which isn't hard, so much as takes time I'd rather do other stuffies). Then I have a review for *another* test I have to take, then a computer tech class or something (I'm sure I'll learn a lot). And then my "internship", aka "holding down a job for a year".

Speaking of which, I still don't have a job. I interviewed for one, and last I heard, it was down to me and one other person. But, the position in question was only going to be open if a really old lady was able to retire early like she wanted. They were supposed to find out "early July" what was going on with that, but I haven't heard anything yet. Blah. I've applied for a few others, but there just aren't many positions available right this second. All of my teacher friends tell me to wait a few weeks and that will change, so keep your fingers crossed for me. I'm trying not to stress yet, but I kind of would like to have a reliable income. It'd be nice if I could start buying all the stuffies I want from amazon again.

In other news, we've started taking my adorable dog Jasper to obedience training. All 100 pounds of him. My mom is going with us since he doesn't ever really pay attention to her. She used to go on and on about how he's "so big", and I'd say "but he's so sweet" and she'd respond "but he's so big". Not anymore! That stopped when at obedience training we met a one year old Great Dane named Jack. Jack is considerably larger than Jasper. And still has a year and a half to finish growing. My mom doesn't think Jasper is so big anymore.

I've been reading a lot more lately rather than spend all my time on the computer. (Though technically, most of time on the computer was spent reading.... fanfiction. >.> ) Anyway, my reading list only has 4 books left on it, one of which I'm halfway through, and with as much as I'm reading, that means Wednesday or so of next week I'll need book suggestions. So get to recommending! I'm a fairly big fan of science fiction (not the stupid monster ones, stupid stupid), so if you know anything in that genre you think I'd like, then I'm open to suggestions.

Anyway, really all I have for now. See you when I next remember to update this. <3

P.S. Bisqy needs to write mores!

I was officially accepted into the teacher training program I applied to. After a month of jumping hoops just getting them all the documents they requested, it took only 2 days to accept me. One more thing to strike off the list of "Things to Worry About". Woo.

4 pills in the morning, 4 pills at night. Every day for 14 days.

Don't you wish you were me?

Turns out it's not just acid reflux. The latest round of lab results came back and I have an ulcer. They say anti-biotics should be more than enough, but I was really hoping it would be simple. Bleh. 

So the Week of Hell just got better for me. History research paper due date postponed until May 1! Glee! Also full of glee is that my draft is apparently on the right track. I was worried that it'd suck so bad that I'd have to just start all over, but no worries now.

No class on April 16th, meaning I can skip out of town earlier than expected. More glee.

Sense a theme?

I had a doctor's appointment last week, and the result is that I'm feeling much better. Apparently a combination of acid reflux and sinus issues has made me feel so craptastic the past 5-6 months. Now that I'm taking daily meds, I'm feeling much improved. I'm even able to eat breakfast again! GLEE!

*shares glee*
