March 18 MovingIt has been a while. Things have been moving very fast for me. I started my final term in school. I am totally excited that this long and often tiring journey is almost over. I still have to do 120 hours of extern work, but I should be able to crank that out in a hurry.
I had to take The Boy to court yesterday. He broke the glass on a fire extinguisher case and the school filed Destruction of Property charges against him. So, we went down yesterday and found out what his sentence is. He has to pay $10.00 restitution and perform 20 hours of community service (does anyone have a yard they need cleaned up?) I thought that it was a little ridiculous to press charges for a $10.00 piece of glass. When I was a kid (uhoh, here goes the then and now analogy) they called our parents, we paid for the damages and that was that. Now, they feel the need to press charges for every stinkin' little thing and that drives me crazy. No wonder we're raising a society of juvenile delinquients. That the way the schools feel about them. Okay, I've got that off my chest.
I had my own run in with the law recently. My tags were expired and I got pulled over for them. No big deal, but when you don't have the money right away to fix the problem, it can turn into a big deal. So, I drove around for two more weeks on expired tags and the citation in my glove box just in case I got pulled over again. Not that it would have helped. I got my tags yesterday and took care of my citation at the same time The Boy was taking care of his thing.
Now, to the reason I am writing today. It is to let you all know that I am moving again. This time to New Mexico. The school has agreed to let me do my externship down there which is great! I think this will be a good move for me. My sister is down there and my mom will be there shortly (most likely around the same time I get there.) Also, the rent is comparatively less down there, so I may not have to struggle as hard to survive. I may actually get to live. Did you know there was a difference between living and surviving?
We will be leaving in mid-May, so I have been telling myself that we need to start packing. I know that it is still two months away, but I'm a procrastinator. The sooner I get started, the more likely I am to get it done. I have to be in New Mexico to start my externship by June 1st so I don't have to reapply for financial aid to cover it. The aid I have should just carry over. I hope.
Have a great week!!! Happy Ostara!!! For my non-pagan friends, that's Spring Equinox, most closely related to your Easter. Anyway, that's all I have for now. I will try to write some more later. It's really hard because my internet access is seriously limited. Comments (1)
