Well, I figured I might as well get some tl;dr out of the way.

I've been at my current job for about six months now and while I'm not exactly completely happy with it, I've finally hit that point where it's okay. I'm getting along a little better with my lead, my boss jokes with me on a daily basis (I've always loved my boss though, I just love her even more lately). I'm finally earning SOME respect among my children and it's taken this long but I think I've finally learned to leave the stress at the door like I had done with my last childcare job from the start. No, it's not so good that I'd rather be at home than work like the last one, but it's a step in the right direction.

Still very up in the air on the school front. I was kind of screwed over and I might not even be able to go where I wanted because they told me on the phone the associates program from education doesn't take financial aide. I call bs because why would a certificate accept it but not the actual associates program? Oh well, I'm calling them again on Monday and if it not I'm going to wait and start in fall at UC rather than Cincinnati State in April.

Outside of that I've spent the majority of my free time lately playing Final Fantasy XIII. I got so into the game and I love it and after about three weeks I've already made it to chapter 12. I'm a little stuck now but I WILL PREVAIL. I will finish this game if it's the last thing I do. I was going to gush about it more but I will refrain from it for the time being.

Ugh. Well, my plans to go back to school in February went down the drain. I was given no indication today that the program I wanted to do for my CDA isn't eligible for financial aide until today. It says nowhere on the website and I even double-checked before I called the financial aide office to check on the status.

I'm not entirely sure what I'm going to do just yet but I'll likely opt for just jumping into my associates rather than worry about my cda. I'll have to wait until April though because they sent my aide information to an email the school didn't give me the information to get into.......... And the chances of having everything they need to get it in on time are slim. I know it's just two months but I'm still incredibly bummed. I was so ready to start in a few weeks, but whatever whatever, everything happens for a reason, etc.

Other than that, I started doing trying out various yoga videos last week so I can work on my flexibility before I do more in the whole getting healthy thing (well, it DOES count as healthy but whatever). So far I'm really liking what I've done. It's a lot more fun than doing any other kind of sequencing stretching (and even working out. bluh.) I find that 20 minutes of anything else gets boring fast, but I can do that for 40 minutes and still enjoy it. It feels nice to find something I actually like, next up is to find some form of workout that I actually like (I still want to do bellydancing! but I have to get a car first before I can take classes at the place I want).

I'm also already finding that I'm doing better on portioning my food, which makes me feel really good about myself. I hope I start seeing results soon, but I'm willing to be patient and keep up with it!

So work had given us 10 days off for Christmas, right? Well, I had all these plans to do with it. Clean my room, clean other parts of the house, re-read Fairy Tail, play Ace Attorney, finish Liar Game Live Action (and maybe starting on the manga), catch up on One Piece. With three days left of my break I can say that I have successfully done none of these things. For the past several days I have done little but veg out and watch Futurama.

Okay, so I'm lame and never got a chance to watch the series. My brother would watch it, but even knowing that they could be watched as one-shot episodes whenever you felt like it, I've always had a thing watching things outside of it's linear order. So I was satisfied over the years listening to him watch it when I was around, which wasn't often. I recently caught a few episodes that I was unable to pry myself away from so my brother ended up getting the whole series for me.

So here I've been chipping away, up to about the middle of season four right now. I really wish I would have given it a chance sooner, but I can say that even if I'm loosing brain cells on a daily basis from that show, that this has been a pretty good way to spend my vacation. Even better that it doesn't require a lot of thought or anything considering I've been sick and all.

In addition, my brother bought himself a PS3 for Christmas with the Christmas sale they were having and he finally busted out Sengoku Basara 3. He loves it and sure has been playing a lot of Keiji, following Magoichi until she loves him, loves him~ I haven't played much myself yet, but I'm pretty satisfied with watching him play right now (and leveling up the characters I wanna play hee hee >:3) with our terrible running commentary.

Time to use this thing for what it's here for! Babbling! But before that, I hope everyone had a fantastic Christmas!

Have a very snotty Christmas )

Okay, so I'm joining all the cool kids and giving dreamwidth a try. I only made it with the intention to use it for roleplay purposes but, what the hay, I might as well give it a try, right? Right? I've always been terrible at lj and stuff, but plurk really ISN'T the best place for fandom blitherings and such, so let's see how this goes!

I included a handy dandy little contact thingy to help people remember who the hell I am. Really this is just 'cause I've got a terrible memory myself, so if you're adding me PLEASE PLEASE make sure I know who you are or I will be forever confused.
