A Ling-awaited Update

Okay. Hello everyone. I read that I was supposed to post the day I went into JBA, but I was a bit devastated. Yes, I lost my job. I wasn't even allowed to give my statement. They claimed to have enough information from the students and the intern to say for sure that I was sleeping. Oh well. It's their loss. Now I need to think of what's been going on for the last month.

Soon after that, I started posting my resume on all kinds of job boards. I really haven't gotten any job offers that were in a decent commuting range. I really don't want to take two Access cabs each way to get to my job.

I think I'm gonna mention the good things. There haven't been too many bad things happening apart from arguments with a certain person. Anyway, one thing that happened is that I'm already back on SSI. It happened so fast! I took my papers in last week and got this month's check on Monday. I didn't even realize I had it. It was direct deposited. I've been going to Ruhi and mentoring as usual. I don't want to give up my traditional activities especially when the only money tey cost is to go on Access.

A couple weekends ago, I went to visit my parents. I hate that town! Lancaster is boring! Anyway, I went for Mother's Day and to get help applying for unemployment. Well, I qualified! Haha. JBA has to pay me.

Another good thing that happened is that I found a church. I know i said that before, but to be honest, part of the problem there was that one of the guys that worked at the church was hitting on me. It was awkward because he'd sit next to me every week and ask me out on several occasions. The church I go to now is a Baptist church. I can walk to it. It's right around the corner. For once, the pastor makes sense. I am still not sure on Original Sin, but at least he could explain it so I could understand why it's believed. His teachings about Jesus and about daily life really make sense. I've been going for a while. I missed today because I had to go to a conference call. It was about the hospitality that we cohosted at convention.

On Saturday, I went to a casting call for a gameshow. I don't know yet whether I qualified, but he said I was phenomenal. I'm giving it till the end of the week before I give up hope on it. He said I'd hear within a couple of days. It's a trivia game. I hope I can play.

Last week, we celebrated Darius's birthday. I took him to Tony Roma's. It was pretty good food. I also bought him an Mp3 player. We can't seem to get it to work. I don't know what I'm doing though. I also got myself a printer. I love my bank's reward points.

That's the main cool stuff that happened this month so far. I really felt that I needed to update. I've been feeling a bit hypocritical asking Kristin and Celine to update more when I look at my own blogging habits. Sorry.

One more thing. My stream of consciousness doesn't always flow in order. I went to the National Holistic Institute today. It's a massage therapy school. It teaches all different kinds of massage. It would be about 8 months to a year of training. I just don't like the schedule for the next upcoming class. It's Tuesday and thursday 6-10. That I can deal with except the mentoring program which I don't want to break my commitment to. The third day of class is Sunday from 8:45-5:45. It's great, except that I'd miss both church services. Wednesday's service isn't really the same as Sunday's services which are amazing. I might wait longer or go to the morning classes even if they're faster paced. I've always been a fast learner, right? Anyway, I'm going to an appointment with the Department of rehab tomorrow to discuss my job training options. I have an info folder that I'll take to her and see what she has to say.

Okay. I think it's time to go now. Just a shout-out of congratulations to Celine for being done with her finals and good luck to Cristina on her last one. Anyone else who has finals, good luck to you too. I just don't know about them. Take care and peace be with you all.
