Almost....there...


I do not have much to say about school right now.  There was a mixup in school and in my funding that I am on a two month break out.  I hope to be starting by the end of August back into school to finish my masters because I only have one class.

The only thing I can say now is that I will probably look for another school to continue my education.  I love the classes and the teachers were wonderful.  I am having a problem with how the administration took care of my finances.  I recently had to send a very stringent letter back to finances about the classes that I was offered to complete my education.  I fear that they will not take my proposal and that I will wind up extending my graduation until the end of the year.  I hope that does not  happen.

I think it was funny that this problem happened when I was not working, although the problem has esculated as I started this new job.  I am kind of happy that I did not have school while I was looking for a job because it was very stressful to study and to look for work.  I am glad that one is happening after the other, although I was supposed to be done in April.  I should have known better when I was told that I was going to be done in April.  I should have laughed and said, yeah right.

Now I am looking for a school to continue beyond my Masters degree.  I was planning on going in next fall 2016.  If I cannot finish my classes until the end of the year, starting the doctorate might have to wait.  I also have to find another school.  But one thing at a time;  Masters, certification, and then a little break.

Nearby where I work, there is a community college that I heard about a long, long time ago.  A friend of mine years ago told me about the school and I never thought about it.  Currently, the address of where I work is very close the schoo, that it would be a short bus ride or car ride.  I looked at the catalog and found out that were a lot of classes that I would love to take.  I will probably take classes that I have always wanted to,  like computer programming, website design, music classes, maybe even some language classes and a couple of other things that I am interested in, maybe for a year.  They even have dance classes, which I am very excited about.  If I can find a place to live in there by the end of 2016 or so, I will be set for life.

I also found out that someone I know, was hired by a company that let me go back last Christmas.  She will  do great.  I did not tell her that I knew about the company and that I had worked for them.  I just hope they treat her better than I was treated.  But then again, I still feel that there was a backstabber in the company.  I think the person I know, will do okay because I do not think the company is looking for a manager, although she has managing experience.  I think if the person who backstabbed me could be the current manager then things will be okay.  Well, that manager will not feel worried about someone taking her position, although when I think back, she was a bit skittish and offsetting. 

Oh well,  I am okay with that because I am making more money than that position offered me.  I knew I would when they let me go.  Also, I work with great people.  I cannot say anything bad about the company I work for now. 

I have not been overly excited, though.  The reason is I am trying to keep my cool, I am a bit superstitious when it comes to good things that happen in my life.  I am grateful, but I try not to wave it in front of people.  I keep very low-key when I think that something is very successful.  When I have been overly excited, I fall flat on my face.  That is kind of sad.  I should be able to enjoy excitement in the things that I achieve.  I mean, I did not even celebrate my bachelor's degree.  I got it, was happy, and went on with life.

Now that I do have a position, I can start talking about other ideas, school, and maybe a little bit of fun here.  I can also start talking about my interest in human resources and the fun things that I've been finding online.

But I will tout around and say that I am happy to announce that I have a 4.0 grade average in my Masters' study.  I am very happy about that and I hope that I can keep that up.  

Note: this was part two of the previous blog.  It was just cut in half to write about different subjects.  As of today, the letter I wrote was accepted, although I do not know if the administration enrolled me for school.  Enrollment was due last week.  No word or response yet.  Sigh!
