I have been overwhelmed the last few weeks. School has started back and even though I am only taking six hours; it is kicking my butt. I really don't get how people work and go to school (some full-time). I am still working at T-mart where next month will hit lucky year number "8", attending AMRBC where I have joined Sunday School (a baptist term), sing in the choir, and taking classes as noted in my introduction.
School is definitely a balance. I really don't get (nor understand) my math class, but love (and understand) my Speech class where we all connect and have a good time. It has taken me this long to make it to Speech because I would freak out in public speaking. I was blessed to have such a good group and teacher this semester.I took my MAT test on Tuesday and guessed on the majority of it. I have got to pass it; this is my third go-round in there. I just need to pass and get out. If you need to take Speech; let me know. There is a great teacher at SCC that you will really enjoy.
Work has brought on a whole new program, Immunizing. Thank you, Sweet Baby Jesus, that I do not have to do. It does tie up alot of time in paperwork and prepping. We are also saying goodbye to our PDX system which I have used for sixteen years. There is a new system on the way. Good, Bad, Who knows? We will just have to wait and see.
Church is thriving. I really enjoy singing with the choir at Anderson Mill. There are so many discounts out there for Baptists. (I'm just kidding, but if there is; please let me know!) Anyway, the choir is fun. I am also learning the whole Sunday School thing. I have joined a class and it seems to be doing quite well. As of this month, I will have been a Southern Bapti-costal for one year. What do you get at the one year mark?
All jokes aside, AMRBC is a great place. There is truly something for everyone. We crank up at 9:15 and 11 on Sunday mornings and 6PM Body Building Class. We are learning "What we believe". I think this class will fascinate me! And don't forget about choir on Wednesday nights at 6! Check out http://www.amrbc.org/ for more information.
My friend, Debora, who had a bone marrow transplant in March finally got to come home last week. She still has to continue to follow-up with the physicians at Emory, but it was a hard six months. I am thankful that the worst is behind and we can look forward to Debora's continued recovery. I was tickled to death when I saw Debora in Target!
How can I forget about the crazy lady at the pool???? That was like a highlight for me. I went to the undisclosed pool a couple Sunday's ago and ran into a lady who forgot to take her Seroquel/Abilify combo. She was asking me for my iPod and wanted to know if she could put suntan lotion on me. I didn't know if you was unaware that I was not the poolboy. Just to make sure she was not in my imagination, I got out ye ole' phone and recorded her singing the Doobie Brothers, Blackwater. It's hilarious, if you want to hear it, let me know! I had to call for backup. Thank goodness for the Blackwelders that came to my rescue. If not, I would have been calling the po-po.
On a side note, I took an impromptu road trip to Harrah's in Cherokee, NC. This place was awesome! I had never been to a casino before. I wish I knew how to play....I don't know....anything??? Really needed a tour guide. I can't believe how many baptist church vans were there. And yes, I did see someone I know. I didn't say I liked, but I knew. I don't know how to put the paragraph below up here, so I will just type and listen to the music. If you have read slow, you should be listening to "Our God Saves" by Paul Balouche. OK, now it looks right, or somewhat close. Now back to your local programming......We came back through Maggy Valley which a quite quaint area. I know it has been at least 25 years since I have been up that way. Nothing can touch the beach though. The mountains are nice, but I have my heart on the low country.
I have also meeting a group at C Edward's Downtown on a schedule. If you are interested, let me know. We have fun down there. Had no idea Spartanburg had moved up so much. Next, I want to visit the Blue's Club. I have heard alot of good things about it.
Now that I have blogged, I may attempt to do some homework. So, as a recap today was brought to you by the letter "8" and the number "sarcasm".
Until I blog again!
(2992 - for me)
