Alright. Let's start with the bigger news, which is the good and the bad. I was woken up and told that someone from Swiss Colony (where I applied for a seasonal job) called and said she was offering me the job and to call her back before 4:30 p.m. I called her a couple of times before she was finally at her desk. The good news is that not only did I get the job, but I also got 2nd shift (5 p.m. to 1 a.m.) which means 50 cents more an hour. Bad news is.... it doesn't start till November 25th! I was expecting for at least two months of work. The job usually lasts until the end of December which means I'm good if I get one. Dissapointing, but I do have some work coming up which I am happy about I just wish it was for a little longer. You take what you can get, right?

Now to the "whatever" part of the post. It seemed all I have been doing is waiting. I was waiting to hear about the job, which happily after today I don't have to, and I was waiting to hear back from the college. I had sent to my high school and my two previous colleges for transcripts to be sent and it seemed to have been about two weeks. I emailed the college to see if my application file was complete. They have received my high school transcript and once from a college. So, the hold up is the one from Grantham University. If you are reading this I am officially stating that I do NOT recommend Grantham University. They are very unprofessional. I had a very bad experience with them and the fact that they are the reason why the college has not already started the transfer credit evaluation adds to the low opinion I have of them.

Oh back to the job part. There was an add in the paper for a job fair with Swiss Colony at the end of this month. The ad said that there is a perfect attendance wage bonus for a stretch in December for $2.00 mor an dhour. So, of course I don't plan to miss any of those dates. Oh No! I just realized something. The job starts on November 25th. Not only is that the day before Thanksgiving, which mean I'm prolly going to have to work that day, but the 27th is the day of the concert!. I'm sure it does not speak well of me to miss the third day of work. What am I going to do!? I already have the ticket and I really need it. I also really need the job. What do I do? On the first day tell them I cant work on the 27th? I don't think I could call in sick.... Why in the hell couldn't they start on the Monday instead of some random Wednesday, one day before Thanksgiving and two days before the concert? I've never heard of such a thing. I thought they would have sold stuff for Thanksgivingtoo.

I have no idea what to do right now. See I can be happy for a momen, but I'm never allowed to stay that way.
