in other more pressing matters, it appears that i will not be working towards my radiographer degree this spring. instead i will be working towards my medical assistant certificate. why the drastic change in professional goals? well, short story made incredibly long: money. benjamins. scrill. stacks. dinero. greenbacks. that legal tender perpetually out of my reach: the once mighty - but now just taunting me with its former superiority - u.s. dollar. i don't have enough of it, and without any rich relatives in my family tree, i've been relegated from first class seating on the express train to success - to sharing a handcar with that guy with the villainous mustache. i shouldn't judge - he's actually very nice and even brought me a pie once. name's thompson, he's a good guy. you should meet him.
anyway, i am actually very excited about the prospect of returning to school. i start march first, so my non-existent social life will not exist even more as i will be attending full time and working full time. while i still want to be involved in the gory glory that is x-ray teching, i think the m.a. program will be diverse enough to keep my interest, and will also give me a leg up in getting into a radiography program in the future. certainly, work as a medical assistant is a step up financially from what i'm doing. and knowing i'll only have to be at the group home for eight more months instead of two years, well, that's a sigh of relief and a much more manageable goal.
continuing the exciting news trend, my friend greg and i are looking for apartments. we applied for one right in the heart of capitol hill and should hear back by wednesday or so. it's essentially a box but greg and i like to refer to it as cozy. very, very cozy. my lease isn't up until april but if we can find a place by march, it'll give me plenty of time to slack off until the last weekend before when i will be frantically packing, cursing my procrastinating ways. send us your positive thoughts!
and lastly, my most favorite positive thought: megan and dani will be up to visit next weekend!! it'll be the ultimate romantic get away for three friends who are madly in love with each other. platonically, that is. strictly, platonically. i'll be sure to update you on our crazy adventures - if i'm still left standing. seattle's not gonna know what hit it, it's going to be OUT OF CONTROL!!!
with that i leave you your found item of the day:
