Wow...my last entry was over a month ago. Things have changed a lot since then.

I'm almost done with Walgreens. Thank God. I hate that job. Well, no, I don't. I like the work I'm doing. I just don't like how things have gone there. I was promised I would be able to complete the necessary training before I started school, and I wasn't. However, the other college student who started after I did was allowed to. They've failed to not schedule me on school days- but she's never had that problem. It just pisses me off the lack of respect. And then they get annoyed when I do something wrong- how can I do the job right when I've never been trained properly?

So, I've got my second interview to return to APAC tomorrow. Its ten blocks from school, and I'll make almost three times more per month that I am currently making at walgreens. Plus I can get health insurance in three months.

I started school on January 19th. At Vatterott, a career college in Omaha. I'm doing a 100 week program to become a veterinary technician. I go from 8-12:30, Monday to Thursday. I really love being back in school. It just feels so right. And I love going every day and knowing I'm there for a reason. Not like high school where the only reason was to get out.

My depression is hitting hard again. I've decided I'm going to register for college if only to get the reduced price/free(?) counseling. Of course, getting some of my schooling out of the way is a benefit too, but I need counseling. I'm having more and more of what I call my 'mental health days' where I just sit and do nothing, because its the only thing that sounds like its worth doing.

I am feeling a lot better. K and I both had the flu, its reached epidemic proportions around here. They are even running out of flu vaccines! Its so crazy, almost everyone is sick.

I'm getting over my post-wedding blues. I think its that for so long my days were filled with planning the wedding, and now there's an emptiness there. But now I'm getting a job, and getting ready to start school, I'm finding other ways to fill my time and its getting better.

And now, for no purpose other than dreaming, my Christmas wish list:
