So I have been kinda busy since my last blog. I almost typed "super busy" but that isn't true. I still feel like I have nothing going on in my life because I am not in school. I am kinda stressed out about it, which is so dumb to be stressed out that I am not in school. I just keep thinking that I was supposed to be done this December. As in December 2011, and now I may not be done until December 2012 or maybe even May 2013! When I think I may not graduate until 2013, I have an intense urge to weep. I have to get on the ball about talking to McNeese about what will transfer, and more likely about what will not transfer, applying to the school, and figuring out financial aid. I have been putting it off because I am so stressed out about what they are going to tell me! And the program here is just so different from what I have read. At Mississippi State I would have been graduating with a Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education and a concentration in History and English. What all that means basically is that I would be qualified to teach K-6th grade in any subject and K-12 in History and English. At McNeese, from what I understand, you have to pick 3 elementary grades and that is what your degree will be for. Like k-3 or 4-6. Any concentrations or specialties is more school. That really stinks, and it really limits you in my opinion. I am hoping I have enough history and/or English credits to work something out because I really liked having the flexibility of teaching elementary or high school. It opens way more jobs up to me right out of school. OK! enough of the school weep fest!
Last week Elvis had his yearly appointment with the vet. It was time for his shots and I wanted the vet to take a look at his poor itchy skin. For the last 8-12 months we have been trying to figure out why he scratched and licks constantly, and our old vet in meridian just had us switching his food and praying some antiseptic spray on his tummy that also tasted bitter so he wouldn't want to lick it. When out new vet looked at his stomach he immediately said "That i a yeast infection in his skin. We need to do a skin scrape and draw some blood to test for allergies and for a thyroid problem." MY POOR BABY! So for a year almost he has been miserable for no reason! If the vet in meridian would have taken any time at all with him, they could have figured it out. The vet here said that any vet should have been able to tell he had a yeast infection just by looking at his skin! Needless to say, we spend like 330 bucks and our dog is on 4 medications! But it's been a week and he is acting like he feels better and his skin is really clearing up! He has enough meds for 30 days and next week he has to go in for a follow up appointment next week.
Other than all the depressing news above life is going really well! Work is going really good, I love working in customer service! I know work is work and it's not like I'm all "YES!!! I GET TO GO TO WORK!!!" But it's not a bad gig =) And our church is INCREDIBLE! I love Linvingway! It's the place to be, for real! And I love Lake Charles...it's a good city, in a great location, and there's a decent amount of things to do here. It works for us! And I am having the most fun of my life decorating my house! I am buying 1 new thing a week for my house and I LOVE it! After tax season I am saving up for some furniture pieces, and I can't wait!
