So I just dropped my two classes for the fall semester. I was all prepared to go to school though something just wasn't feeling quite right. I knew what that was this morning an hour before my first class was to start. I sat and had a meeting for my business (scidco) and realized at that moment that not only am I working 50 hours a week at linkline (including the drive) I'm going to attempt to go to school on top of that? How will I ever do anything for scidco??? And then it hit me, I wouldn't ever do anything for scidco and the whole semester I'd feel guilty about not getting anything done to help the business get off the ground. So within 15 minutes I realized all that was against me going to school. First my attitude, I wouldn't enjoy school, it would be a dread in my week. Financially I am still not stable enough to afford it. And of course one of the main reasons, I would never have time for scidco. Then during the meeting a flood of ideas of how I could help scidco came into my mind. Calling all our customers on monday and checking on their networks, asking if there is anything we can drop by to fix, it's not only great customer service, but it will help us be more efficient and professional. :) Also I have been doing billing for linkline and it's been giving me a lot of training to do the paperwork for scidco. Then there's the aspect that I needed 3 transferable classes before transfering to cal state san bernardino and I haven't gotten to talk to the counselors there to confirm if I can petition the other classes and still transfer in as a junior. So I feel pretty good about and confident in my decision.
So I'm making some pretty drastic changes and I feel good about it. I am having my friend Rachel come over to help me organize my life better. Organizing my life means organizing bills, closets, drawers, etc. She's
*really* good at it and I think if I can train myself to stay organized then it will help me deal with my finances better, to organize the billing and paperwork for scidco more efficiently, and will even help me when/if I ever get married! ;) hehehe So I'm excited.
And also I have a hair consultation at 12:00pm with the girl that normally does my hair. I am going to see what she thinks will look good on my hair no matter how drastic and maybe allow myself to get that done as a birthday present to myself. But I may keep it boring and stick with layers and faint highlights.
I also just got paid for housesitting and believe me I was in shock when I got the check! I got a total of $200.00! Now mind you it was 11 days, but still, I'm used to getting paid $40.00 for checking on someone's animals for 10 days. This was a bit different because I had to sleep there the whole time, but I had no clue that I'd be getting that much and that will help me afford organizer boxes and such! It was a major blessing! And they are wanting me to housesit closer to Labor Day for a few days. And knowing how much they will pay I am much more willing to deal with the inconveniences of it. :) hehehe
Well I guess I gotta get busy. Bye
