Little Rays Of Hope

I'm not getting super duper crazy excited but some good things have been coming my way and I thought it would be nice to share in a quick little bullet breakdown
- I had a interview last week at a company that I applied to when I first got up here. It's where one of my older sisters works and she put a good word in for me and told me that it was a great place to work. I think it went pretty well and hoping that I'll get a call back within the next 2 weeks to see if they want me to come back for a 2nd interview, fingers crossed.

- I also had an interview this morning that went very well but it is not a place that I would feel comfortable working. Don't get me wrong I need a job and need the money but there are just some things I cannot do and this job required them.

- I went yesterday to visit the academic counselor and sadly things did not go as expected. When I was down in Florida,, I was only a couple classes away from getting my associates degree but at the school I visited (the one I attended before I left for FL) I would pretty much have to start all over and take 11 more classes. They were only going to accept 6 of my classes and if that wasn't bad enough, the campus I used to go to doesn't even offer education classes there anymore. I would have to go to a campus over an hour away from where I live. All this information resulted in a slight meltdown but I've pulled myself together and are trudging forward looking at my other options.

- The 'dream house' that I blogged about last week is still for sale. While out with Big Man today we were driving around and just happened to be in the vicinity of where the house is. Big Man was in a good mood so he went along with my need to see the house....and it is still the house for me. It is empty and no one is living there so there's still hope. I took a peak in the windows and saw that there is also a fireplace in the pool area....SWOON! I can just see myself in this house and after I get a job, mission wedding and house will be in full force.

- Big Man thumbs up'd the Christmas NYC trip. To say I'm excited would be a complete understatement. For the next couple months I will be in full force plan mode and will wear my eyeballs out searching for anything and everything on the Internet. Thank you for all your suggestions. I'm going to try to fit as much in as possible so will see what makes the cut on this trip.

- Sorry I've been missing in the comments lately. Big Man is home during the week and I've been spending time with my lovey. I'm going to try to catch up this weekend while he's gone. Smooches lovies!! : )

Why the heck would someone shoot crayons? Were they not lived enough as a child?

That's a bummer on school...one thing to consider though is the online options! Good luck with the jobs too!

*sigh* I can totally relate to the house wanting... I want a house SO BADLY but we have to wait. Bah humbug.

Sarah said...

Haha, that first comment made me laugh. Who would shoot crayons. Lol.
Anyway, I'm glad to hear that your hopes are up! I feel your frustration with school, I worry about what I'll do once we move back to CA. Will any of the classes I took her count for there? Ugh. I'm glad I stopped taking classes here when I did.
And I'm crossing my fingers that the house you love stays on the market!

just remember things always work out in the end some how!

online classes would also be an option?

Brittany Ann said...

I'm sorry about school! Are there other options? perhaps online?

And as for the jobs...sounds good! I'm prayin' for you!

(P.S. Totally cried during Toy Story 3, too!)
