I refuse to lower my standards to accommodate those who refuse to raise theirs.

Well, this weekend hasn't been long enough. I have worked on my math homework all 3 days (Friday, Saturday, and Sunday). However, with almost 200 problems, I'm not sure how to go about this... Well, actually, I am sure, I just don't know if I want to invest THAT much time into the homework when we don't even get graded or any points on it. He wants us to do the homework so we are prepared for the tests and quizzes. Which I get, but it would be nice to NOT have almost 200 problems, and it would be awesome if we got some sort of points also. Luckily, I did find out that there is tutoring on campus. Which is nice, because a lot of this is coming back to me, but there's some problems that I am having to skip over. They look familiar, and I know I've done them before, but taking a semester off, I just can't remember how to do them for the life of me.

On Thursday I also decided that I want to minor in psychology. After only 2 classes, one was an intro to the class (syllabus, hi I'm your teacher, this is what I expect) kind of stuff... And the other was an intro to the history of psych. Based on just the history I have decided that it is VERY interesting, and I think it will help me in my nursing. So why not? I need to make an appt to talk to a counselor about how I go about doing so. But, I'm gonna wait and make an appt for about a month or so. The counseling office, I'm sure, is still busy with students wanting to add classes, drop classes, find out what classes they need, etc. But, I am very excited about this discovery of psychology! :)

I believe I stated in an earlier post, that I took my apps back to the few places I picked them up from. At hot topic I was told to call them today around 11 am. So I did, and I've got an interview Wednesday at 3 pm, after class. It's kinda strange. I've always wanted to get a job at hot topic. I know that seems completely juvenile, and it really is, but I think it would be a fun part time job, for now, while I go to school. Plus I love the idea of not having to wear a uniform, and I also love the idea of not having to cover my tattoos and take my piercings out. I really don't have THAT many piercings. On my face I only have my nose pierced, but I do remember applying at Victoria Secret once, and was told I'd have to take that out. So I said forget it. It's one thing when I'm a nurse making more than $9/hr, but it's totally different when it's just a job, not a career, and it's not paying me near enough anyway. And as far as my tattoos, I can easily cover ALL of them with just a t-shirt and jeans. However, some of my t-shirts don't cover my upper arm tattoo. So it will be nice to not have to rush home to change, or make sure I have something in the car to change into. So, keep your fingers crossed that I can get it! Anything will help for now!

I had lunch yesterday with an old friend and her family. It was super nice! Her kids were wonderful, and adorable! It's nice that I do know a few people here before I moved. When I moved to CA I didn't know anybody. Other than my hubby, but that's cause we moved there together.

Whelp, back to my math homework!!! :)
