Back to the grind (and not the fun kind)
Jun. 24th, 2013 08:09 pmHi! First post here. If you're actually interested in what's going on, and not want to feel like you're jumping into the middle of a book, go check out my LJ: http://kritterfox.livejournal.com/
Anyways...
Back to work today. Wasn't too bad, though my foot wasn't happy about not being up all day. Burned through my backlog of work and fixed the errors from last week pretty quickly, and then had nothing to do the rest of the day. Ended up working on my second FEMA certificate course (2 down, 5 left), since it was the only work related thing I had to do.
The president of the Mesa campus is in town this week, so I emailed him asking if he'd have time to sit down and chat about me transferring to Mesa. I'm hoping to get a feel from about about how likely this transfer is going to be when we talk. In the meantime, though, we're moving forward with our contingency plan. I've started pricing flight/hotel/car rental packages online, and found a fairly decent one. Yes, the hotel is in Phoenix and I'd be flying into Tucson, but it's cheap. Besides, the drive between Tucson and Phoenix isn't too bad. It's like driving up to Gurnee from where I live, except a lot more mountains and less green vegetation, of course. We're looking at the week after Labor Day for my trip. It's right after school starts back up and after the last holiday of the summer, so it's cheaper than trying to fly out any earlier.
Let's see, what else. Ah! I'M GOING TO DISNEYLAND! Seriously! Molly and I decided to take a trip to Disneyland for our 5th anniversary this year, instead of our usual trip to Disney World. I'm really excited about this trip; I've not been to Disneyland since '97, and Molly never has been there at all. I've been having fun teasing her when we watch the vacation DVD. "Oh, I've been there! I've ridden that! I've seen the lamp in Walt's office window!" Really, we're going to more than Disneyland. We also plan to hit Universal Studios and whatever else may catch our fancy while we're in town. Even better, I finally get to meet someone who, despite the fact I've known her for 16 years and she has long been one of my best friends, we've never met.
That high-pitched noise you hear? That's the sound of me squeeing. ^.^
Not much else going on. Finished my last programming and my disaster management classes; well, technically, they won't be finished until I take the finals, but the actual learning portion is complete. I have summer "break" starting next week, and then jump into my next set of classes: Intro to Business (still BITTER) and Network Security. Whee! Last six classes. Almost done.
Guess I'll close this post out now. But first: GO BLACKHAWKS!
