School and work

I am now engaging in both! School starts officially for me tomorrow and so does work. So here's a fun little story. I got a job last week working for APX Alarm in Tech Support. A phone job, so not exactly what I had planned but I've become pretty desperate. So, I started training (7 hours a day for 8 days) on Monday. Tuesday I got a call from American Fork Hospital wanting to interview me. I interviewed, was offered, and accepted the job all within 24 hours. The job at the hospital is at the Gift Shop/Snack Bar so APX really was a close 2nd. IHC pays more, plus I'd be interacting with people face to face rather than on the phone. Those were the 2 things that ultimately helped me make my decision. After all, I'm needing to get through college and any job is a good job for me at this point.

As for school, I've had a fun time taking care of everything in that area and I'm actually quite excited to get going. I found out that because I'm poor I qualify for a grant, which is especially awesome because I get free tuition (until I'm 26, which is creeping up entirely too fast) so the money I receive will go towards fees and books. I'll have plenty left over to work with and budget. Actually besides that, I really don't know what else I'll use the money for. Perhaps a laptop? What a dilemma. I wish I had dilemmas like these more often! Well, hope the new school year for all you mothers, students, and teachers is better than ever.
