Jamie's Place It's like a day at the beach...only not.
I've been quite good today. Quite good. Ate breakfast, lunch, a healthy snack. I have had all my water, and I'm getting some work done. I think I'm reheating leftover enchiladas for dinner. I'm a little over the taco meat from Saturday.
Today's been an okay day at work. At lunch I went to Old Navy and bought a few shirts that were on sale. I tried on a pair of size 10 capris and they were way tight. Which is odd, considering how I bought a pair of size 10 capris a few weeks ago (and wore them to graduation) and they fit me just perfectly. Even after numerous washing and trips in the dryer. Old Navy has been sucking at their sizing lately. Quite annoying. But they have a really good sale going on right now, so check them out if you need some cute summer clothes.
Tonight I have to start on my thank you note and my scholarship application for the school of social work. I am not going to apply for the Norman Topping fund. I didn't finish my application in time--my lack of time managment skills just cost me thousands of dollars. But I will get my application for the SSWK in on time (if not a little early). I cannot afford this tuition without a few scholarships.
We also have to get hubby a new tire for his car. I swear to God, that boy has gone through more tires on his car than anybody I know. It's sad, and a little bit annoying. Well, hopefully, he'll just go and buy it and we can be home before too late.
Okay, time to finish this census. Here's an idea for the day: Who is telling the truth? The American military or Iraqi civilians? There was a story today about how a pregnant woman on the way to the hospital to give birth was killed, along with an aunt in the car. The military says the car blew through a checkpoint. The brother of one of the women says there was no sign, and until shots were fired didn't know it was a checkpoint. So...who is the truth teller? (My guess? The Iraqis...)
Again, sorry. Apologies. My bad. I can't believe its been this long since a posting. There's been much going on the world of Jamie, and I've been so busy that I forgot to post here.
I graduated from CSU Fullerton this weekend. 8 years and now I am an offical college graduate. From "real" college as I like to call it. So I now have 2 college degrees (my AA and BS) and by the time I'm done at USC, I'll have three (masters). Quite impressive, if I may say so myself. Graduation was great, the party was awesome. We had so many people come over and everybody said they had a good time. I'm going to get started on my thank you notes ASAP because if my mom asks me one more time about them, I'll shoot myself (not really, internet censors).
I'm back to work full-time as of today, so I will *try* and post here more regularly. As for the WW aspect of life, I've been trying to be good. I ate WAY too much this weekend and had a sizeable gain when I hopped on the scale this morning. I'm going to try and be good for the rest of the day and see if I can go down a bit more before I track my weight tomorrow. We'll see how it goes.
First off, sorry for the long-ass delay between postings. Spring semester is proving to be busier than I ever thought it could be. Things are good, just crazy-hectic. I'm so looking forward to graduation next month. Holy crap...next month!
As for the title of the entry. I GOT INTO USC!!!! I am soooooooooooo excited! I usually don't use this many exclimation points, but oh man, I cannot stop smiling. It really is such an accomplishment and I can't believe I got in, since I was turned down from Columbia, which was disappointing, but still I knew it was a long-shot at best.
So you, my friend, are looking at the newest member of the Trojan Family. 2 years, $60k and I will be the newest social worker out in the big wide world. I can't wait.
