Waiting....patiently for now

Well school is done and studied as much as I possibly could for my certification exam that i wrote on Nov 7th. The TOUGHEST exam that I ever had to write I should say. It will take 6-8 weeks to get the marks but I might have to wait a little longer because I am still waiting to get my certificate from Mohawk, which I found out that it could take up to 6 weeks just to get that. This is so frustrating :S. I thought I would be able to handle waiting a bit longer but I think it just might make me go off the deep end.

Done, Finished, No more

OMG!!!!! I can finally say I am done school. I don't want to toot my own horn, but I have never been so proud of myself for accomplishing this. It was 4 long years ago when I decided I wanted to go back to school, for what thought? I had no idea what I could see myself doing day in and day out AND love it. My BFF kept talking about how she wanted to "be the person that takes your blood" well for some reason that peaked my interest. So I went to the Mohawk website to see if they happen to offer a course for that. And low and behold they did- Medical Laboratory Technician/Assistant, quite the mouthful isn't it? So I filled out the application, got my transcript from high school and off to the information seminar I went. When the seminar was over I went up to Mary GB(director of the program) and handed her my application. Before she even looked at it to see who I was she looked at me and "Lisa I happy to say that you are accepted into the program". WHAT?? How did she know who I was? Then the light cam on, I hounded her with emails about the program and the job prospects and this and that....and so on. I must've emailed her enough that if she accepted me I would stop emailing her..lol.

I know this is probably a little childish maybe completely childish but now I want to go to Mohawk and order a hoodie with the name of the program across the front. I wanted to do this earlier but I didn't want to jinx it in case for some reason I never finish school.

Well I am off running a little late for work, but I am on CLOUD 9!!!

Disappointed

Well it's been awhile since my last blog and thought maybe I would do an update.
School is STILL going on. My teacher failed me so now I have to retake a $325 dollar class all over again :( That I can get over, the one thing I can't seem to accept is my father lying to me all the time. Not just to me but to his entire family. Not that long ago he had a bit of a breakdown and told me he was going to get help but there was a 10 week waiting period to get into this rehab. While he was waiting for that he was going to see someone once a week to talk about his problems. Today is his 50th birthday and I don't even want to spend time with him. How aweful is that? Last night he called me @ 11:25pm to talk, no biggie, I like talking to him...when he is sober but he wasn't so I got to hear him repeat the same thing over and over because he couldn't remember if he told me that story or not. I went downstairs to give him his birthday card....low and behold, he is still drunk. UnFREAKINbeleivable!!! way to go dad you make me feel less proud of you when you pull these stunts. I don't know what is going to take him to quite drinking, is he going to wait till he gets into an accident? And we all know when that happens it's never the drunk that gets seriously hurt :(
Well I didn't intend to expose ALL of my issues but I feel a little better writing this down instead of bottling it up inside.
Hope everyone has a good weekend

I know You Can

Don't Quit

When things go wrong as they sometimes will,When the road you're trudging seems all uphill,When the funds are low and the debts are high,When you want to smile but you have to sigh,When cares are pressing you down a bit,Rest if you must,but don't you quit!

Life is strange with its twists and turns,As everyone of us sometimes learns,And many a failure turns about,When he might have won if he stuck it out

Don't you give up though the pace seems slow,You might succeed with another blow,Often the goal is nearer thanIt ever seems to a faint and faltering man,Often the struggler has given up,When he might have captured the victor's cup,And, he learned too late, with a groan and frown,How close he was to the golden crown.

Success is failure turned inside out,The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,You never can tell how close you are,It may be near when it seems so far,So, stick to the fight when you're hardest hit,It's when things seem worse that you must not quit.

I know this time you can accomplish your goal dad. I have complete faith in you that you can.

Love you so much!!

Addicted

I am so addicted to this show, I kinda sorta watched it the other years but this year I can't get enough. It's so bad that I even PVR it while I'm watching it live just in case if I miss something.

For the girls it's Asuka. She is such a great dancer and beautiful of course.

I haven't really picked one yet for the guys, their all very good.
I can't wait for tonights show...lol!!

There are no words....

There are no words to describe it, I royaly F&$@!ED up!!
I am so mad at myself...I was so close and I pushed it back even further.

I'll get over it, just another one of life's hurdles I have to jump

Girls Nite Out

Tonight was an absolutely wonderful evening. It was Sabrina's 30th birthday party get together and it was GIRLS ONLY. She decided to go to Montfort's Restaurant on Upper James.

The food was fantastic and I wish I knew about this place alot sooner. I got the chicken shwarma dish and couldn't finish it. I was so full that I had to unbutton my pants-it's the honest truth..lol!! Then I had to try and find some room in my tummy for April's yummy cake but low and behold I found some room. I would definately recommend this place to anyone who likes mediterranean food or who is willing to try. And the price is great!!

Nervous

May 23rd will be here before I know it. It's the day I write my last exam for the Lab Tech course I have been taking for the last 4 years. I should be more excited than nervous, but this means I have to look for a real job. Don't get me wrong KFC is ok, it just pays the bills for me. I don't enjoy working there anymore and some of the people are just getting to be too much.
I think I'm nervous because I have finally accomplished something that I have wanted to do for so long.
So after this exam, I have to start studying like mad for my certification exam on June 13th. No life for me for the next couple of weeks, like I have one now...lol.

Lil' Frustrating

Well it's not a major issue...just my cell phone.

Shane and I decided to upgrade our phones around Christmas time.

So I decided to look around and get info on phones that I liked. One of the things I told Shane was that I didn't want a flip phone, I'll go for something different....hmm

I ended up getting a flip phone...lol!

I decided to get the Samsung Cleo

Absolutely love it!!! I read the manual for this phone instead of tinkering with it like I have with other phones. I mainly got the cleo because I can expand the memory to 8GB....which means more music to put on it.....yipee!! So I bought a 8GB micro card so I can start downloading. I got home, looked in the box...no adapter...WTF!! I thought it came with one since it already has a 2GB memory. Apparently they don't, so I checked around and priced some and the cheapest I found was $35 bucks, which is not a big deal. But the phone Shane got came with all of that stuff. So because he paid a $100 bucks more than I did his phone is more special than mine....but mine is prettier looking....lol!!

So maybe this pay I will treat myself and get an adapter so I can start listening to music while I'm on my way to work.

Well, here I am. Trying to blog just like the rest of the world....lol!!

It's just after midnight, I am on days tomorrow and what the heck....why not try and blog. Not sure if I have the knack for this but i thought I would give it a shot.

I am tired as hell, cause all I seem to do is work work work. I hardly have anytime for myself or my family. Now with my HUGE exam coming up in June I will be hibernating in my house or at a library studying :( Oh well, it will all be worth it in the end.

So I guess that's it for now, I am getting tired and the screen is looking a little blurry. My next blog will hopefully be better.
