New Leaves

Gettin' it together

So, finally, I can pull my head out of my ass long enough to dry my eyes and get back to life. Technically, I'm still short 8 or so days of my 40 days of sack cloth and ashes, but it's comin' round again.

Work sent us home early, so I went on line and started taking care of some things that I've been putting off because I was overwhelmed with all the recent going-ons.

Enrolling in school. I started the on line process. I still have to fill out my FAFSA but I am waiting on a PIN number from the Dept of Education so that it will go through faster. So they say.

I called my old highschool and told them that I needed a transcript, and they were like "What class?"
I was like, "91." "91????!"
"Yeah."
"Let me get you the number to archives."

Tell ya, I feel like a spring chicken.

I've decided to henna my hair again. My grey is massively coming out, and I really only stopped henna-ing my hair because Mike said that he thought that the grey coming in was sexy. He even kept one of my grey hairs.

I'm telling you, there's a lot of resurfacing that I'm doing, and a lot of realizing just how much of myself I compromised by being with him. Just little things about me that are coming back... like the henna. There's more, but I'll leave it at that.

Anyhow.
Waiting on PIN for FAFSA
Waiting on transcript from the ARCHIVES!
Going to New Student Orientation on Monday
Taking the Compass Test the following Monday
Gotta meet with advisor to construct a gameplan

Then it's on.

Really, just getting it all started was the hardest part. It's weird. I should be able to get in just under the line for Winter quarter. Rock on. Totally feart, but you have to take some risks. I am not really nervous yet, but I imagine that once school starts I will probably look at everything and say, "Oh. Shit."

I have to go to the bank yet, and then I'm going to go on a hike. I'd like to go back to the bike trail, but I don't like hiking that alone.

I have to start using a planner! I'm getting to be so busy!

Excited about Halloween just around the corner. Next paycheck I have to get some material to make my outfit. Bellydancer. Yeah. ha!

Also, I look hot. Just in case you wondered.
