A sudden surge of optimism

Jump to Comments

The past month has been hell walking!

For the sake of my health and my academic endeavors I left a job with nothing to fall back on.  And then the discovery of my “credits completed” ratios nearly finished me off last weekend.

Today is the first day in a long time I feel like I have some control.  Out of the blue I interviewed and got a job offer for a part time IT position that not only pays better, but does not require me to work nights, weekends or holidays.  Plus with some training…. it sounds like I may get some experience in helping with working on some web based applications in Ruby.

Earlier I get pulled in to my Boss’s boss’s office and informed that for the past year and a half I’ve worked there, I’ve been paid incorrectly.  They actually owe me a substantial amount that will get paid out to me in one lump.  I’m sworn to secrecy on the amount, but let’s just say if something happens to my fall financial aid, I have a reserve chute.

Dr’s office called…blood tests were fine nothing to stress.  I have a plan to get my mental and physical health back without the use of meds.

The sun was out today.

I’m looking forward to getting back to some serious exercise next week, and regaining the old me.

I had a good talk with a Professor, I have some good resources developing.

Now that I will no longer have the cognitive state of an Alzheimer’s patient I’m going to work my ass off this summer and take the necessary placement exam to get me past some pre-req’s and get going on my major specific courses.

Looking for forward to some socializing with friends and playing a little music with my cohorts.  I suddenly have a strange sense of peace washing over me.

ciao!
