Life in general is fabulous right now! I'm not being sarcastic either, I'm serious. I'm getting closer and closer to getting a phlebotomy job, but also searching and applying for other jobs as well. Right now I can't afford to wait around for the job that I want. I will gladly take whatever I can get until I get into the medical field. You can't be picky when you don't have a job at all and people are counting on you contribute to bills and savings. 

Anyway, I've been getting my documents together for Gwinnett Tech, and also studying for the COMPASS test next week. I originally was accepted to Lanier Tech, BUT the last time I attended that school about 8 years ago I dropped all of my classes because I was sick from being pregnant with Katie. This resulted in me having a low completion rate which means they're not going to offer me financial aid until I bring up my completion rate. Sorry, but I'm not going to pay for classes when I can just go somewhere else and get financial aid. Yes, it's going to be a huge inconvenience because of the drive, but I have no choice at this point. Taylor has a dual enrollment next year at Lanier Tech, so that's going to be a chore working out schedules. We can do it though. I know God will not give me more than I can handle. :)

Life is good!

I have lots of wonderful things going on right now in my life. 

Not to toot my own horn, but I am very proud of myself. 

This coming Tuesday I will be a certified phlebotomy technician. 

I have registered for the Susan G. Komen 3-Day. I have to raise $2300 by October in order to qualify to participate. 60 miles in 3 days! Wow!

I have an interview with the Red Cross this week to start volunteering in both blood services and disaster relief. Then within the next few weeks I will be doing the volunteer training. I'm very excited about that! My plan is to eventually get a job with the Red Cross. **Crossing Fingers**

I'm registered at Lanier Tech to start the Fall semester. Going forward with my plan to work as a phlebotomy tech while going to school to earn my surgical tech degree. I was going to start this Summer, but silly me looked at the dates wrong. Grrr! Oh well. I think starting in the Fall will be a lot better. I need some time to sort out some things and get settled with a job.

I am just so happy with everything right now! Nothing or no one will knock me down now! To the critics who love to run their mouths, this one is for you! Kiss it!

Have a great weekend! :)
