Pink Flamingo on Toast

It's done! I have to wait for my results which could be up to 10 weeks although I was told that it shouldn't take that long. The test was difficult but it's supposed to be. I have a good feeling about it and no matter what I'll get some wonderful feedback. It just feels good to have taken it. 3 years of learning this stuff....Wow! Only one more hoop to jump through before graduation. I have a final on Monday night where I have to sign a story type thingy about how to play Charades and then transcribe an ASL video into a gloss system. Whatever...let's just get it over with so I can be done!!! Tuesday night the class is going out together. Cheesecake Factory ....YUM!!! I my class and professors. I'm actually going to miss seeing them every week.

Tonight is my night to veg out...watch " Wings " that TiVo has graciously recorded for me. Drink my water and just relax. Tomorrow is the big enchilada and I'm ready. I have finished my Padawan lessons and am ready to face the Jedi council.

I go for the state QA exam Friday at 4:00pm. I'm nervous and excited. I switched my schedule around at work so I could have a few hours between to gather my thoughts and stuff. Wednesday I go for my Information Literacy test (how to use a computer for research) at 4pm. This is required if I want to graduate on the 3rd of May. Hmm..4pm seems to be the "go time". That's what happens when you take on a part time job I guess.

Until Graduation! OMG! Only need to pass my classes and take some silly Computer information test that shows I know how to use a computer for research. (Yeah...can you believe that ). Ooo...and I'm working on scheduling my State QA. Could be this week! I'm nervous and excited about everything!

Things kinda started out slow because of some audits and other things that popped up. Today however was/is completely different. Busy doesn't even begin to describe how I'm feeling. Probably a little overwhelmed but I am confident that it's just a matter of getting my feet wet and making the mistakes that ever new employee does School is getting close to being done. I get to interpret "Phantom of the Opera" today in class. I'm excited to be a ham and have fun. May 3rd is graduation...I can't believe it. Have a call in to schedule my State QA exam and then I leave it to the interpreting gods to guide my future.

Jerry and I did our grocery shopping last night so that today we could have a pajama day. I woke up to the smell of coffee and Jerry cooking me breakfast. I'm truly a lucky girl! It's been a while since we've done absolutely nothing so today we are doing just that....nothing Yesterday was my works "Open House". Lots of people showed up and according to my co-workers it was a bigger turn out than last year. Hurray! This week I will have more stable schedule. I'm looking forward to getting to know the job as last week was a little scattered with people out and preparing for the open house. Oh yeah...and me getting kicked out of my office. Speaking of my office, they found some pictures of the city so my walls aren't so bare. I need to get some pictures of family and friends in there though. Not much room as you saw from my previous post..so I really need to get a bulletin board or something. Anyway, I'm gonna go veg out..cause that's what t...

So this is it...my new little office. Maybe cozy is a better word. As Jerry said, if I move the chairs out, I could probably change my mind. I guess he thinks it's small too. It definately needs pictures and some Gknee Flair!

The people there are so nice. I felt like I had been there within an hour of being there. Okay, not 100% but definately comfortable. Now I just need to learn everyones name. My office is tiny and very bare. I need to add somethings to make it look more *Gknee* Only three weeks left of school! HUZZAH!

I really need to get some things done this week: Find out why FCCJ doesn't show that I'm graduating in May. SS Card/voided check for direct deposit for my new job Trip to the bank Oil change/tune up for the car buy some cute clothes for work laundry Wonder how many I'll actually do this week.

We, Mom, Dad, Jerry and I, are safely home and tired from the trip. I think we all enjoyed a nap this afternoon. Naps are the best. Tomorrow we are going to River City Brewing for Sunday brunch and then relaxing the rest of the day. Mom and Dad will head back home to Michigan Monday morning and I start my new job!

Just finished up packing to put the bags out for the porters. Jerry and I are efficient and ready! Tomorrow morning will be hell, but it's all part of the cruise experience. Just a few more cruises for the Celebration. The Fascination, that will be in Jax in September looks to be a wonderful ship! Can't wait to cruise on it. The next big trip looks to be Seattle for PAX (aka Geek Heaven!). I get to start looking into flights next week. Fun fun!!

Another beautiful day! Jerry and I went ashore and headed to the Pirates of Nassau museum where we had a blast. Afterwards we headed to the Hard Rock and enjoyed lunch. The rest of the day was spent back on the boat where it was nice and quiet. Tomorrow is a fun day at sea which means lots of reading time for me. Yay!

Wow..what a great day! Jerry and I got up early and hit the Pirate Museum and then headed over to Sloppy Joes for a beer and conch fritter. Mom and Dad met us later to do the trolly tour around the island. I loved it. Tomorrow is Nassau and Jerry and I plan to do another pirate museum and then spend the rest of the day on the boat where it will be quiet!

The weather is beautiful. Why am I blogging then? Well, to be honest it's one of the quiet places on board and I was having a little bit of crowd anxiety. This cruise seems like there is more people. I dunno..maybe I'm just getting old. Tomorrow is Key West and I'm really looking forward to that. I think we might be going to some pirate museum..dunno yet. If it happens great, if it doesn't no big deal..it's vacation and relaxation is what is important. OOooo..I finally got word that I got the job. My background check came back okay so apparently I don't have any skeletons in my closet. Ok..back to the beautiful ocean views.
