Weighing my options

I have been out of class for a week visiting my hometown Tennessee. I have a ill father that needed (click on link to see info on device) Cardiac Defibrillator in his heart.  It's hard to take in right know with being a full time student needing to take off work for a week and I missed a week of class. These are the factors that add to my stress.  I love my father and I wanted to stay longer to support my mother, but I have so much going on back in Virginia, which is where I live now. I move forward two steps in life and fall back 5 steps that's the story of my life will the stress ever end? When I was home with my parents I felt like the world had stopped and then began to move slow (not just because it was the country), but because when I was younger mom and dad took care of everything I never saw the struggle. I wish I was a little more prepared and not sheltered.

On January 12th  I received a letter in my email from my fathers doctor requesting me to come home immediately. My father surgery took place on the January 23rd and I also had to go to court on the same day here in Virginia. I got paid on Friday which left me no time to pay the ticket before 3:30 pm instead of going to court that Monday. On top of that situation I am just starting a full load of classes. I missed two of all four of my classes and have a exam in my philosophy class this coming Wednesday with no notes, which I don't have anyways. I could drop my philosophy class with no refund because that seems to be the hardest to catch up in. What should I do?  Continue on the path that I'm going, who knows I might surprise myself and pass.

I took one week of work at the last minute. Retail is not a easy place to request time off with especially short notice. Filling a position is hard in the line of service I am in. I work for sprint wireless and I have quotas monthly I have to meet these quotas to receive a commission check. I get paid every 2 weeks as well, but my main source of of income is my commission check. I am behind tremendously in quota not only because I took a week off, but because I switched locations and I wasn't use to the selling techniques in this store. Switching locations made it a little easier not having to drive 1 hour there and 1 hour back at 10:00PM, but this store is a lot busier. I guess I the saying can't have your cake and eat it it to fits this situation perfectly.

I feel like even though things are going everyway but right that its for the better. I need to learn how set a plan in motion to keep my life organized. I  actually turned down going to hooters with my co-workers tonight and to applebees with my home girls. If you know me which your learning a little now about me, you need to know that was the hardest decision ever for a huge social butterfly as myself--just playing. I think and worry daily about my fathers situation and I really believe my dad knows my heart and knows I desire nothing more then being with my father FYI (for your information) I am a daddies girl. I really believe he wants me to finish my education though which is very important to make it in today's society.

The Social Side Of Me

When I do have free time  and I generally stay in the area there are a couple of places that I hang out, here are the links to there website K2 and Waters Edge. I have few friends because just having the few friends is hard enough. How do you manage keeping myself focus? I try to keep my mind on my books so that I don't have to work in retail any longer, but the rate I'm going looks like sprint will be my profession for a little longer. I usually club on the weekends due to the fact its the only time I'm free to let go and enjoy life. Well I when say weekend I mean Friday night only. That's because I usually close at work on Saturday which gives me time to sleep in until my shift. I move things around to help me breath a little. I have eliminated the opposite gender completely. I have no time for lies, promises, and deceit. Well I guess not all men are like that, but the ones I have came across have fit that description. Well enough man bashing for one blog. I have found a new take on social outings. My friends and I go out after work that is when I don't have any homework for a drink. While I'm not going to tell you what kind or how much due to the fact that this is a class blog. We then meet on Monday night to catch up on all are shows such as Bad Girls Club, Love Games etc. all are highlights of the week, thank goodness I don't have much homework that's due on Tuesdays. My co-workers go bowling on Wednesday and Thursday hookah. I join to brighten my horizon or should I say broaden. I really close minded when it comes to different social atmospheres. I don't know why, because I am as country as they come. I go to D.C a little more. Its its like Dorthy living Kansas. I look around each corner and need a GPS to get around. If you have never been to D.C. you haven't been to the capital of elite social life, okay maybe I am over exaggerating.

First Start

Starting off working  was hard enough adding school is even harder. Then when you had a social life such as partying, boyfriend, friends, etc. it goes beyond hard. I decided to dedicate my blog to managing my time wisely. My original chosen profession was the military (which is the ideal career), but because I was very athletic in high school it was hard for me to swallow the fact that I would be jumping, crawling and even walking fast didn't seem ideal. I was a skinny non exercising child with ideas of joining the military, imagine that? After waiting trying to make up my mind about becoming discipline I moved around. I noticed around 20 that I was picking up weight, school never crossed my mind. By the time I was 22 I decided I had reach the point of no return (metabolism wise). I then decided I would just go to school. I went a little stopped and partyed went a little again stopped and partied. I am 25 still no degree and as of 7 months ago screwed my head on right. I am full force in school. I attend class Monday-Thursday 8:30 am-12:30 pm,because also need to make a living I work full time for srint wireless from 1:30 pm to 9:00. On the weekends i work all day to hit my 40 hours. My friends go out and invite me and while i'm working I have enough energy to say yes, but when by the time the shift ends the energy level goes down. Doing homework is crazy test in morning do I study at night or do I study in the morning. I plan doing this blog to try and get feed bac from my classmates or even outside bloggers. I will design  my blog with a study time line as well as polls. I asked my family  to read my blog and give feed back as well, because they know me best and can tell me where I am going wrong in this new quest to graduate.
