Well...

Its been an interesting weekend. I've gone out with my mom shopping and enjoyed hanging out with her. Then I came home to vegetate for a bit, but I figured I would update the blog as well, considering I've tried to keep my word on keeping it up and published to regularly. While I might not have expressly laid it out, I'm trying to keep up with it.

Anyhow, I went to hang with a friend of mine who has an autistic four year old and a lovely two year old and we worked on her horse. It was nice to see her, she's been doing well, and although her dogs have chewed up her house (namely one) she's managed.

I've been trying to get an internship going with a local police department but it's not working out as well as I had hoped. I was hoping to get an interview this Friday but that didn't pan out and I'm stuck with waiting to get a call from one of the guys I called on Thursday. But I did go hang out with another friend, even if it was just to watch the movie for our Abnormal Psych class, it was still fun getting to hang out with her. Although I was rather disturbing with all my coughing, haha.

In other news, we're trying to plan things around the small scar revision surgery that I'm going to be having December 23rd. It'll be interesting to see how I'll do after that one since I'm not going under at all. I am, however, terrified of those tools. Since I KNOW what they're going to do, I'm not going to be pleased with seeing them nor will I be able to sit still while they do whatever they're going to do to me. So I'm going to have to have a nerve pill, I wish I could just drink a ton of alcohol but that would be so bad for me. They'll be putting a block into my lip and cutting out some of the scar tissue to make it appear smoother and such. I also have to do an online consultation for my nose with a doctor down in Texas who is apparently the best as nasal reconstructive surgery.

Many people would probably wonder why I would put myself through another nose surgery if my nose is "fine". Well, I don't really like it and that's all that matters. Since I'm still under my parents insurance, we're going to take care of it. Now it's just a matter of self esteem. While I'm perfectly happy and can live with what my nose looks like, if I can change it, I will, if I can't, then I'm perfectly fine with it. I don't have a problem either way. Probably a reason why I'm sort of procrastinating on my online consultation with this doctor... Not to mention some drama with school cropped up over this semester, which is unfortunate, but what can you do?

I registered for this upcoming spring and apparently since I had gone to one class before (I wanted to take it again because it was SO fun) it didn't put the rest of the classes through. And you know how you get that feeling like there's something wrong but you just don't know what it is? Yeah, I got that feeling and it turned out that the classes hadn't gone through and I wasn't registered. I freaked and went to the guy who had emailed it to me and I find out that the computer system simply works that way. Oh, wonderful! Now I have to go register for crap classes that I don't care about and I can't get the ones I WANT because YOUR computer system screwed up. Thank you!

I'm gonna go work on my schedule in a bit, probably after I sleep, and get rid of something that I added in there only because my professor said I could. Adviser, I should say, but according to a friend of mine over half the people she knows barely passed it because you have to go to all sorts of crap on campus. Which wouldn't be a problem if I lived ON campus, but I don't, so that is a problem. The only reason I don't live on campus is because my dog is getting older and she sleeps on my bed so I don't want to leave her with no where else to go. Besides the fact that I love that dog so much I'd be more than willing to give up living on campus for her.

I really need to get to that online consultation with the doctor. This means taking pictures. Lovely. And if I qualify, then I'll go down to Texas to meet with him in person. This saves my family the whole buying-a-ticket-just-to-find-out-I'm-not-a-good-candidate problem.
