2011

Alright, so this is a couple days late but I don't have internet access every day. 2010 ended with a lot of questions and no answers. A few highs but many lows. I am not going to focus on the lows.

In January I started my first semester of college to become a respiratory therapist. In March I was lucky enough to get a new to me Jeep. In April I received my settlement check from the accident and bought a replacement bike and we paid off quite a few bills. In August I got to fly back to Arizona to meet my nieces for the first time.

Upon my return to Illinois I joined a new roller derby team, I have skated in 2 bouts since and have another one this coming weekend. I turned 35 and for the first time in my life I got all A's in school.

Well 2011, I have high hopes for you, I hope you can live up to them, starting with the answers I need to all those questions 2010 left me with.

35 and counting

Well, today is my 35th birthday.
Wow.
To celebrate I am took an exam in my psychology class. Got a B on the test and ended up with an A for the course. I had perfect attendance so I do not have to take the final. (yea!)
I am now studying (can't you tell?) for my anatomy and physiology exams. I have 2 of them today. One is a lab test and one is a lecture test. As of right now I have a B in the course and it is the only class keeping me from a 4.0 for the semester. If I don't get it, I won't be heart broken, as long as I maintain my B I will be extremely happy.

In Illinois you have to renew your driver's license every 4 years, this year I had to take the written exams for both my motorcycle and regular license, I passed both with flying colors, so you guys can stop screaming and running when I come driving down your sidewalks, and the picture is the best driver's license/i.d. card picture I have ever taken.

Well, that's about all for now.
Talk to everyone later.

December

Well, today is the second day of December 2010. I have less than two weeks of classes for my third semester of college. Tomorrow I go and pick up the payment voucher for my fourth semester. Next month I will have been in college for a full year. Right now I am one class shy of all my prerequisites for the respiratory therapy program. The good news is I am number three on the wait list which means as soon as registration reopens after payment due day I have to get my butt in gear and register. I also have to get my butt in gear and fill out the application for the program.

A few milestones... yesterday, December 1st was Lyndi's second birthday. Next Wednesday the eighth is my parents 37th wedding anniversary and the day after will be my 35th birthday.

On December 11th I will be playing in my second bout as a Rockford Rage skater, I will be playing in the debut bout of the Rag Dolls. I am super excited.

That's all for now.
