The same way that Craig had to get his Z-Pack, I got to get mine today.
While missing school. :sadface:
I don’t like going to the doctor, or spending $50. But after being sick for one month – literally a whole month – I had to do something.
I took the first dose (two pink pills. So pretty!), and within an hour I swear I was feeling better. I also got FloNase, because the Dr. thought I looked “inflamed.”
I feel so much better. But I didn’t have a chance to go ball-grabbin like Craig did. They were much quicker in attending to me than I imagined.
Because of what can best be described as life, I haven’t been able to write in a while.
Getting ready for school (I think it takes more time getting ready for it than you spend getting your degree), extra work hours, decreased work hours, extra responsibilities – the list goes on.
Anyway, I’m officially a pre-nursing major. I practicly work in the medical field anyway, so it’s not a huge jump. My course load:
Communications 100 (Pre-req for nursing major)
English 102 (I tested out of 101. Woot)
Humanities 100 (Silly pre-reqs)
Math 25 (It’s been like … seven years since I’ve taken an algebra class. It goes away.)
That’s twelve credits. My initial plan was to jump in with, say, 16, but since I haven’t been in school for a while, this will ease me on in. So, I go to school for two hours, hour break, work for eight. I must be crazy. Two of the classes are online. That helps with having to work and everything.
Overall, I’m friggen excited. I have to finish my financial aid stuff- for the third time. But that’s it. And I start Jan. 20th.
I happen to be one of the many Americans who suffer from a particular affliction of impulse spending coupled with an acute infection of living paycheck to paycheck.
These two are bad roomates.
My problem is that I don’t follow any sort of budget that I create. And I can create all sorts of them. Simple math makes me happy.
My last paycheck (two weeks ago) went by fairly quickly. But I saved a dollar. One single dollar – in dollar bill form – at my desk. I could have spent in on many things, like a soda, or fuel for my car, or.. I dunno, vodka if I so felt like it.
But I didn’t. By saving one dollar – while not having any other money – I proved to myself that I can save money. Any amount, really. So this next paycheck, which comes this morning, I will put a $20 away with my $1. It’s not much, I know, but they symbolism behind it means a lot to me.
Did anyone catch the Boondock Saints reference? 
I love that movie. Especially Willem Dafoe in his amazingly flamboyant portrail of Agent Smeker. If you haven’t seen the movie, you need to. It’s cheesey and silly and awesomely violent.
This is a really random letter I wrote last night. It’s only kinda emo. lol. I was in a weird mood, and it just kinda happened.
Anyway, I feel hungover today. Which wouldn’t be all that odd (except I don’t drink all that often) – but I didn’t drink last night. I also slept so hard I took my shirt off while asleep. It kinda freaked me out when I woke up today. Then I found it, and was much better.

Dear Person,
I know this comes out of nowhere; and I’m fairly certain you won’t even read this. But I must say, I miss you.
Not in the we-could-have-been-together kind of way, but as my friend. Best friend in fact. You may not remember – or you do, because you remember everything – but we were epic. Pocotello epic. I miss that.
Like the one time, where we used (stole) a girl’s phone to talk about how much you liked her. Then there was the time where we ran away together. All the way across the state. Just to try and make life better.
You see, I’m by mo means perfect- in fact, I’m fairly far from it. What I did was pretty bad. If I could gain the balls to actually tell you that, I would. Things didn’t work out the way I wanted, and if I could change it, I would.
Would you accept my apology? I think I haven’t tried yet because I don’t know if you would.
I’m a different person now, and I think you are too. Could these two different people be friends? I hope so.
