Countdown

I safely got through my 23rd birthday, no thanks to the zero tolerance policy towards alcohol on Pine Knot. I'm still working hard at McCreary County Health and Rehab for workbased learning, and I'm just about finished with my 5th week. I'll be finished with my workbased learning on the 18th of November, which will also be the day I take off on my Thanksgiving Leave. I'll get to see my Paul again!

Speaking of, I'm overjoyed to announce my engagement to Paul! We won't officially tie the knot for at least another two years - plenty of time for Paul to get through basic training and get through his nuclear schooling in Charleston, and for me to start building a nest egg once I graduate from the Job Corps program.

After Thanksgiving Leave, I'll have another two weeks to get some work done on my TAR. Christmas Break begins on December 16th and ends January 3rd. Graduation is projected for January 27th, so I should have time to finish my TAR and my CTR classes. I'll be using my breaks to jobhunt, too - wish me luck!

New Approach

My phone is STILL not working with my blog again. SO! I'm going to have a little fun with this blog and post fun quiz results from blogthings.com ! Yay!

But first, a small update. Still coasting through Job Corps, and I actually see a light at the end of the tunnel! In other words, I've turned in my graduation papers and I'm projected to walk in January of next year. I've also volunteered to do some work-based learning at a nearby nursing home, and I still have to do the paper work for that. Today was a bake sale for a family in need - I spent almost $7 on sweets and proceeded to make myself sick! But oh, what a way to go, hee hee!

Ok! Time for a quiz result!

Your Personality Cluster is Introverted Intuition

You are multilayered and complex. No one can quite understand you. You are very inspired and driven to achieve your goals. Whether you know it or not, you are a visionary with a complete life plan. You are intuitive enough to understand difficult problems, ideas, and people.

What's Your Personality Cluster?

Work is Hard. Time for Blogthings!

Ok, until I can re-attune my blog to my phone, there will be only wishlists. Current wishlist: pencils, multicolor gel pens, and stamps. I love you guys!

Ok, apparently my last handful of blogs never posted. But it seems to be working, so I'll just try to keep my blogs down to one text at a time, just as a test.

Testing my mobile blogging right meow. It seems posts haven't been getting through...

Four posts in a week; that's a record!

But I thought since I've been here for a full 4 months, I should update with a rundown of the average monthly schedule. So, here goes!

On the first Monday of each month, we have an awards assembly. Certificates for students who have raised their scores in classes, for students of the month, and for dorm of the month are awarded. Every Monday is a weekly assembly, discussing the week's weather, campus plans and events, etc.

Every Wednesday is Teams. This is when ESPs are done, in addition to other announcements. Also on Wed is trip sign-ups in the rec center... Which sucks because I have my SST group then, and by the time we get done, the line is impossibly long! Blech!

Every two weeks we get a new CPP group, and every second Tues we get paid. These weeks alternate, so CPPs come in on dry weeks.

Finally, every last Friday of the month is a graduation ceremony. The graduates are given a bunch of goodies and declared graduates of the Job Corps program.

I think that's it. Oh, by the way, my harddrive is no longer broken. I fixed it with another good solid thwack! Ha!

Gah!! As if I didn't have enought to save up for!! After taking such good care of it, my 500GB hard drive is rendered dead because of a single drop to the floor!! All of my music and movies and games... GONE!! ... Well not really, if I take them to a computer store and have them take the data from the internals... All the same though, all of my data is now inaccessible...

... Now that I have that out of my system for now, there's good news. My first itinerary for the trip home has come in; I'll be back before dinnertime on the 30th, barring any act of God. Yay summer break!!
