If it wasn't for this sinus infection that's making me exhausted I'd say things are better than good.
Still upset with my cousin. Apparently we're suppose to throw her a wedding in Sept. I should be happy for her. That she found someone and has provided for her baby, instead I'm just hurt.
However talking about her and her decision led to a good conversation with my parents. I promised them I would never elope and then my dad said he had two requirements for any person I would marry whichever gender they might be (which is huge coming from him, his acknowledging that I date other women). Those requirements were that I'm happy and my mom approves. Another big deal this holiday season was that he ran into my best friend at the store and invited him over for Christmas. Which again is a big deal because my best friend is gay and well that's just huge for my dad to be that accepting.
I also did something rather big on Monday. I asked my boss for a letter of recomendation so that I could use it towards some scholorships. I have trouble asking for recomendations as I am leary of it. I asked my biology teacher for one in high school when I was applying for an intership to NASA. She agreed. I didn't get the internship, but I did get my application back along with the recommendation (I wasn't allowed to see it before hand, it has been sent seperately). Well I read it and she listed all the reason's she felt I didn't deserve the internship. I haven't really wanted to ask anyone since. However I did. My boss said yes and it should be ready this coming Monday. Now I just have to do some research on scholorships.
I'm a bit nervous for the upcoming year. I have a grant for this spring, but no student loan as I'm only taking community college classes and for a loan I would have to add six hours of CSU classes to my already 13 credit hour schedule. I've done the 18 credit hour thing and am not putting myself through that again so I declined. I should get aid for summer too, but that's it. Apparently I have too many credit hours and the federal goverment won't be giving me anymore money. So that last fall and spring for my nursing degree and to finish up the english (I take the last class I need for my psych degree this spring) will be up to me to somehow finance. I'd rather not take another loan out with Sallie Mae either, but we'll see what happens. I'm getting my nursing degree.
