Of Work and School

So far I have been able to work 40 hours and take 9 hours of classes. The tide is about to change. I just gave my letter of resignation to our dean yesterday. I had talked to her last week about it, so she would have a heads up. My last official day will be the 29th but I will be using up the last of my vacation days that week, because I will be in clinical from 6:30 am until 3:30 pm every day. So my last day to sit at my desk will be the 21, due to the holiday. Officially I have 8 more days of work. That is so weird.

I have been pursuing various people down in surgery about a job. I am really desiring and praying that I can fill the anesthesia tech position that is open. I have been emailing the man over anesthesia techs and have had no reply so I went ahead and applied for the position online. I would really like to be working in a field that is close to surgical technology. I have worked retail many years of my life and never want to return. I also have never attempted or even desired trying my hand at waiting tables. Please pray that I would get this job, or that God would provide something that I could handle along with my school. I will have to make at least $900 a month to pay for my bills, and that would be without anything at all extra ie meals out, meds, dr visits, etc. And I am not sure how many hours I could handle working. This past springs schedule was I would have class 8:30-12 Monday and Tuesday, and Clinical from 6:30-3 Thursday and Friday.

This semester has not been easy. I have been working hard and making B's and was delighted when my last two tests bumped that up to an A. Next semester will be even harder as I will be balancing my class and two days a week of clinical.

Wednesday was the deadline for scholarship applications and I got the merit one turned in, so I pray that I will be selected for that, as I will not longer have UAMS paying 90%. I pray that I will get the scholarship and it will cover all of next semesters tuition and fees. I am still trying to pay off my other school loan and don't want to add another. I also really don't want to take away from my savings account to pay for it.

I just have to trust God and His plan for me.

Soon I will post pictures from the last Conversation Club of this semester. I was glad I was able to attend that.

I am very excited that tomorrow will be my first day in the OR as a Surgical Tech student. We will just be observing but it will be a blast I know. I will try to keep my stories censored or at least warn you in the title.
