Hello Everyone!~
My schedule is finally evened out that I am able to awake at one particular hour of the morning. So far I sleep six hours a night, and not being that active of a person, that's just fine. Although that is all about to change.
I am exhausted.
Today I had my final two booster shots this morning at nine (stopping to visit with the poor, struggling Christian nurse. It's amazing how many Christians like this that find us on a daily basis. Where do these people come from?). Then dropped off home for a quick lunch, only to burst from the house at 12 for the grand attraction of all home schoolers with it's free shipping and ten-present-off sales – the curriculum fair! This massive sale is held at an equally as large church where not only can the main printing companies (Christian Light, BJU, Rosette Stone) can display their products, but others can rent out a table as well. We didn't sell anything; it was the aforementioned discounts that drew us into the crowds. Plus we had some extra things to drop off at the free table and a mission collecting for Zambia, Africa. We even found a few bargains on a mineral set that I can analyzes for science and ultimately add to my ever-growing collection. We spotted a few friend as well as found out about yet another denomination out here, this one we had known existed at least, called the Conservative German Baptists. I think I may visit, add it to my small list of churches I'm considering now. But so far we don't know much.
I am going to finish high school, no matter what. It's how that is the problem. So! after a final examination of the catalog I have changed what I'm doing this year. Let me make this accurate. I'm doing half a credit literature, half a credit language, and another credit with grammar. That'll make 3 credits of English. Yes! That means writing piece only for the final two years. I know you probably have only a vague idea of what I'm talking about, but with this and extra credits in other categories, I'll be finished with my subjects and able to just do electives at the public school for the entire last year!
Only if the teachers let me.
Apparently there are insane Amish teenage girl-assassins running around with weapons stashed under their coverings. Or at least that's what the administration has convinced themselves. *sigh* The only other option (because I absolutely canNOT, in clear conscience, answer the lies on the science in the GED course, and what place sees a drop-out as responsible?) is to sign a contract with a certified program that will juristic exactly what I do each year and both grades and evaluates me for fee. I have nothing against them, although they can be very limiting and, in my opinion, if I am able to convince the school district to allow my covering, a waste of money. That's the reason we will be running about the same way next week, Lord permitting. Attending the open house at the new public high to catch a chat with the guidance counselor is my goal. But, going back to the subject, it must be certified. Because, I want to take on-the-job nurse's aid training as a job before I get married. I hate to think of it, but.. what if I didn't, didn't get married? I'd need something to fall back on as well. And taking care of the sick, when people are at their most vulnerable and helpless, when God has brought them to their knees, is a worthy cause, no? And a gentle path to leading them to Him. Although I've never experienced someone close to me dying, (have you?) I've been told that I have the personality.
In order to find a place to hire me, though, I need references. Plus with something like this, I don't want to wait to help out! Today I was able to get both. After browsing a good hour, I went over to Free Geek (you know, the place we got our computer?) that was most conveniently next door and got an application from boss-man, Reverend. And then shot home for yet another rushed meal. Only this time Dad wanted to take a nap. Now, about a week ago I had decided to try working for Hospice as a teen volunteer to see if I had the nerves required in nursing. So after my interview on the 14th, I was scheduled for the upcoming training course on the sixteenth. That's today. I needed to be there at five o' clock sharp. Punctuality is imperative in this kind of business. That meant naps where really not convenient just then.
I hit the door-stop at 5:28.
Way too close for comfort! But I wasn't the only one arriving so late, so no sweat. The chocolate rewards in class certainly made up for the stress of tardiness. *winks* I'll tell you about it in my next letter. For now, this ones quite long enough!
Blessings,
~Gabby~ ><3
