i decided it would be best to NOT participate in my classroom's field trip to Worlds of Fun today considering strong smells and overexertion still cause me great discomfort. luke is there and got put with all the students who don't do any rides, so he's not having the most fun ever. at least he didn't have to pay for his ticket. he wants to go back soon, so he can actually do some of the fun things that there are supposedly worlds of. i am back at the school with a student who couldn't go on the trip because his foster parents told him he had to participate in the fundraiser if he wanted to go (parents had the option of having their students do the fundraiser or they could just pay for the ticket). we've been in the classroom next door, so i could kind of help out, but now we're taking a little break.
i have a job interview tomorrow at Vangent to do customer support for student financial aid inbound calls. that will be just for the summer and since my sister works in HR there, she got someone to call me just the day after i submitted the application. this summer job (assuming my interview is successful) will be a great help to us this summer, so yay for that.
yesterday, we also received a loan that will make it possible for us to work out our 1 car situation. since luke will be driving to and from JCCC all summer (the shuttle doesn't run in the summers), we have to figure out transportation. the old eagle summit just will not make it with all that highway driving, i'm afraid. also, luke is going to be making another phone call, but should be starting a paper route for the LJWorld here soon. all of those things will put us through the summer until i can go back to work at the high school... then from there we'll figure out what we have to do with Luke in school full-time during the fall (especially when it comes baby time in November). By then we'll know exactly how much of a student loan/grants Luke will be receiving for the fall and spring semesters.
these are not interesting or exciting things to write about, but they are things that have been up in the air for us for quite a while, so yesterday was a very good and accomplishing day (everything was settled kind of all at once after school yesterday).
break's over, but that's kind of what's going on with us right now. i'm just waiting out this last week before my 1st trimester is over, then maybe i will slowly start to feel better each day. that's the hope. and school's out for summer next thursday (wednesday and thursday we get out at 12:00pm), so then i'll start that job on June 2nd (if i get it, which i really am assuming i'll get...you only have to have a high school diploma to be qualified for it --- i know, i'm getting a lot out of this degree of mine).
yay for the fact that it's 1pm already.

okay, miss anal cheese, i'll fix the banner when i'm on campus today (i don't have the banner saved on this computer at my internship).
and i appreciate all the things you wrote about in this entry (they weren't boring). it's crazy how that stuff matters when you're married (i can only imagine the extra degree of importance now that you have a parasite feeding off your innards).
Is it bad that those are the only things I ever really want to blog about?! But, I think reading about scholarship applications and grants and subsidized loans can get a little old for other people...and you must entertain your public in the bloggin' world! I'm really happy to hear about your summer jobs and know that you will be blessed by it - financially and educationally! It has been so beneficial for us to have had Adam work that job - he knows all the inside scoop about financial aid! It'll definitely come in handy.
