Anxiety

This morning I hit the ground running.  I  have not slept well the past week.   My doggies and my head have been keeping me up.   I got up ready to tackle the world this morning.  I called places where I put all my applications in to just to check up.  No real good news but i guess that is not bad.  I also called my health insurance company, realator (looks like it is spelled wrong), bank, title company, and whoever else might be involved in getting my new home closed.   I the went to my personal training appointment, did a long swim, went by the school,  went to the see Dr. Lauren, paid for my new car insurance policy, and talked to my health insurance providor. i have not sat down this evening much either.  No more sitting around.

This afternoon i did some research to see if my schedule was going to work in taking classes closer to home.  My darn van will fit into the parking garage but it will only fit on the first level…i heard the top of my van hit a sign in the parking garage.   This sort of screwed up my schedule not being able to park close to the school in downtown Fort Worth.   I could park there today but who knows about next week?  i decided to go back into the school nad find a schedule that would work.   I was dreading the computer….AGAIN.   I had a back up schedule saved that will work.   I submitted it and it did work!  i am now officially registered in some decent classes.  I am taking anatomy, computers, and speech.   I had a girl from the information desk escrot me to all the places i needed to go.  Yes i do need my hand held.  I was so grateful.  We went o financial aid ,the parking pass business office, the name tag place (whatever you call it), and then the book store.

ok so I almost had a cow when i found out how much the books were for one class.  I almost dropped out of school. My books came to a total of $602.00.   I have bene penny pinching and have been reluctant to pull out my credit card but my little cold cash fund was not going to cut it.  i was expecting to pay about $150.00.  The kids laughed at me.  I will be worth it and I know I will always keep my Anatomy books since I love that stuff but it was hard to think about spending that much on books.  I could have gotten a new bike for what the semester is costing..haha.  I go to school mostly on Tuesday and Thursday.  My speech class is at the downtown campus so if parking is a problem then I will just have to drop it. My main goal was just the anatomy class so i got that covered by taking at the campus  close to where i live now…and close to a mountain bike trail.

website-  remember all that hard work i did a month ago getting all my pics organized.  I think the changes are finally taking place.  I see that my website is changing.  My web guy has most of the stuff he needs from me.  Be patient and you will see some more good pictures getting posted.  I also dont mind if someone has any tips.
