I'm back in school!

Okay, I finally just went for it and reapplied to LSU. I have been planning to do this for some time now but I just never really did, I started about 3 apps and never submitted it. The $40 app fee, was a bit of a road block because that could be a new pair of shoes or a new purse.

But I did it and now I am waiting to register for class and I need to get my financial aid in order, hopefully I qualify for something.

The last two days have been crazy so I haven't been able to log on and write. My fiance had to have a tooth pulled so I've been taking care of him. It was not a pretty sight but now he won't have to worry about getting toothache every other day.

Tuesday night was the book fair family night and that wore me out. Tonight I am meeting a group at LSU, so I won't get home until late again. That's 3 nights this week. Like they say, when it rains it pours! I went to volunteer 3 hours today at my son's school, which made me not even want to come back to work.

Well the work day is almost over, thank the Lord.

So about school, I did a degree audit and I can get another degree in African and African American Studies with another 34 hours, with taking 2-3 classes a semester, I can have second degree in about a year and a half, that's not bad. Plus, this will help get my grades up for graduate school. My plan was just 4 semesters but I think I'd go another for another degree under my belt.

So, I am supposed to go out to this party Saturday and I have nothing to wear, but I hate to spend a lot of money for one thing, but I gotta look fierce. I just can't spend gobs on money on like one dress or a pair of shoes. I am a discount shopper to the nth power. I can find deals anywhere, I just have to look. But with it being this weekend, I hate to rush because them I impulse buy or walk around aimlessly until I leave the mall with nothing.

Not to mention I feel like a bloated fish, I have about 10 nagging pounds to lose and no motivation to get off my ass and do it. I've the easy way and took diet pills but they make you so sick, water pills worked the first week but then I gain the 3 or 4 pounds back the next week. Uggghhhh...I hate to complain because I know it isn't anyones fault but my own! I got rid of ten pounds in the last year, so I am happy about that.

Okay I have run out now, I need to pick up Patrick's pain medicine prescription. I'll write again soon.
