Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow....YUCK!!!

Today is the first day of the second semester at Kirkwood, and it's snowing like CRAZY!!! It started around 11:00AM and it is still going strong. I still have to go to work today none-the-less, and I really can't wait to go. The past few days since I have been back in Cedar Rapids I was working at the Kirkwood Open Horse Show and those days ended with huge sinus headaches. So I ended up going home early and crashing after taking some Benadryl.

Today is also the first day that the McCafe will open in the store that I work in and my manager has made me promise to hold off on the coffee until after work. Hahaha. I guess I will be a good girl and hold onto that. I wonder what other changes have been made to the store and if any people have come or gone. My manager has already told me that one of the closers has been fired over the break because she no-called;no-showed more than three times.

Right now I am watching Dr. Phil and hoping that I have the day off tomorrow so I can watch the Biggest Loser and see the hot, sweet trainer, Bob Harper, lose his temper at one of the contestants. I am a member of his website and he says we are all going to crack up since he usually doesn't do that. lol If I don't get it off, it won't surprise me but I will still be sad. Oh well, I'll catch it on youtube.

I guess I'm going to try and catch some z's before work, I'll try and update later.

My My How the Time Does Fly!!

School, work, sleep, school, work, sleep. It seems like a never ending cycle. Today I met with some people in the Health Services department and got some of my questions answered. Although I will miss being in the barn constantly, I am really excited to start the Paramedic Program. The internship is not a possibility right now unfortunately, but Rhonda, one of my teachers who helped me get out of the mess that I made, told me to find one for spring instead. So I will take classes at Kirkwood in the Health Science department to get my prereqs out of the way as well as doing my internship.

Work has been going well. I had a slight problem on Tuesday. I checked the "time off calendar" and noticed that I didn't have Thanksgiving break off eveen though I had asked for it months in advance. So I went in to talk to the manager in charge of the scheduling and we got it fixed and I asked for Christmas break off as well. Well, speaking of work, I better go get ready!

A Night Off- My Mom is Trying this- why Not?

Hey, everybody! My mom emailed me her blog a couple of weeks ago and I thought this would be a good idea to share what I go through every now and then. So this is, obviously my first blog. I work at McDonalds and it is a very stressful job that pays really crappy. I am also currently attending Kirkwood and am in the Horse Science department and am trying to finish it much to my parent's dismay. After I am done with the Horse Program, I am planning on going into health services. i would really like to get a job that is horse related, but my parents told me to take something else to fall back on. I would really like to become a paramedic so I don't have to sit at a desk all the time and working with horses and being a paramedic will be something new every day. You never know what is going to come next and stay active.

Well, I think I will end my first blog with what I have so I can get adjusted. I will try to post as often as I can, but my days are pretty hectic with work, classes, and trying to find an internship in the area.
