Smiles' Crazy Blog

Sorry the past few weeks of my life have been really crazy. I started both work and going back to school. Also, I have been just not motivated to blog.

Alright, I know you are all wildly interested in what is going on in my life so here it goes.

First off, work. I am working at UPS. Believe it or not I kind of enjoy it. It has decent pay and the hours work good for me with school. I work from 3 am to about 8-8:30 am. So it is part-time work. It is not difficult work, but the bulk amount of work that needs to be done can be difficult. The best part about the job is the benefits. I get full medical, dental, vision and prescription with no premiums. My favorite benefit is the money for school. I get up to $1500 a term with a cap of $3000 a year. This works quite nicely for me. However it is a union job so if I fail to vote correctly I will have to look over my shoulder a lot and sleep with one eye open.

Next is school. I started about a week ago. I am working on an associates in education which and I am hoping will transfer well to a four year university. As of right now I am planning on a degree in Elementary Education and a focus that would allow me to teach anywhere from third to tenth grade. I think that is what will work best for me. I am also enjoying this because I feel as though I am really accomplishing something long term.

Sleeping is good. I try to get to bed most nights by 8 pm. I am slowly turning into either a really old person or a really young person.

I have decided that I need to write more. I need to get my ideas onto paper or on the internet. That means either doing more free writing on paper, more serious writing, or even silly little blog posts.

Lastly, can you name 535 people with a lower approval rating than George W.? The answer, Congress.
