Reflections

This time last year, I found out that I had failed my math class and a writing class(which is totally odd- I like writing) that I needed to graduate. The only way I could take the writing over is to go back up north to Michigan. It wasn't offered online again, only on campus. Ok. So hubby and I got prepared for me to be gone for 10 weeks. I left on January 8, class started on the 12.

The end of the 10 weeks came along, and I found out that I passed my writing class, but not my math. I took it online again-stupid. I cried so hard, because I couldn't take it online again. I had to stay on campus and do it. Hubby was upset, I was upset. Another 10 weeks away from him.

10 weeks go by. I pass my math class with an 'A'- yay! It was totally for effort, and I so deserved it. June 12th came around, I graduated, came back to Sweet Home Alabama, and looked for a job. I searched for a tech job as soon as I came home. I didn't find one until about July 16. It was at UAB, and I so didn't want to do it, because I had heard that they did mainly trauma. I was so not ready for trauma yet. What the hey though, I applied. I didn't know it was for UAB Highlands, a division of UAB. They called me back, and I was so excited! I had the interview, and didn't hear from them for about a month. I started losing hope, and started looking for another job. I landed a job at an assisted living, and the same week I started that job, the Highlands called me back offering the tech job. No turning that down, I went for it! I put my notice in at the assisted living, worked the rest of what I said I would, and started my new job for UAB on September 16.

Now, look at me. I'm working as a tech(what I went to school for). I don't have to go back up north for anything else, except to visit family and friends. I feel so accomplished since this time last year! I can't wait to see what the new year brings for this time next year!
