Update to the Deployment News!

Deployment: Still no word on if he is actually going yet. But we kind of discussed what would happen if he does. I would stay here in Columbus while he is off fighting those bad guys in Afghanistan. Just me and my pups! Which, I'm not gonna lie, it's gonna be crappy. Being so close but so far from my family and friends back home. But its not worth packing everything back up and moving back home & switching schools and what not again. Its just too much of a pain to have to do it all over again. But Josh read my blog, which he has book marked on his phone - he's a little creeper, haha! And he goes, "Why wouldn't I keep paying rent every month, this is our home. It will just be a really expensive storage space every month". I couldn't help but laugh at him. I guess thats one less thing I have to worry about.

School: I hateeee it! Especially this stupid math class I have to take, again. It really is just basic algebra, but I took that stuff like 2 years ago. I really don't remember any of it, mainly because I hate math and hardly ever use it. But I literally did math homework ALL day today! And the sad part is, it was only like 20 questions. I actually broke down and took pictures of the problems I got stuck on and texted Josh's stepdad because he is a math genius! I told him he had to come down to our house once a week so I could get math lessons from him, lol. And I still don't know how to do the problems but I have the right answers. Its just a lose lose with math. 8 more weeks to go, I'm just praying I get a passing grade at this point.

Lifeee: I apparently got a crack in my windshield driving back to Columbus last weekend somehow. Well it started off small & fixable. But because I had to drive to school and work for almost a week before I could even call my insurance about it, it became hugee!! What started out as a little crack turned into a crack going across my entire windshield!! I don't know how it even happened, even Josh said it wasn't normal! But I got that fixed today. Had to get an entire new windshield and now I can't drive my car for 24 hours. I tried to get out of going to class tomorrow because I had a valid reason, but it didn't work. I have to wake up wayyy early and drive Josh to work and take his car for the day & then go pick him back up from work. Isn't horrible though because I like the people at his job, so I like to visit!! :)

Hopefully I have an interview tomorrow too! The lady called me back today and my phone didn't tell me I had a missed call or even a voicemail until 830pm & she called me at like 1030am. But I am going to call her first thing in the morning and hopefully everything works out. Its at Nationwide Childrens Hospital, only working the gift shop. But I think it would be great, because I don't want to work too much because of school but if I am already in the hospital system it will be much easier to get a job in my career if I ever finish school or even to transfer to another department eventually. But I don't know, I need all the good lucks I can get for this one! I hope it is making more money too. Being a pharmacy technician isn't a bad job at all, but we do wayyy more work then what I actually get paid for. I'm not complaining though because it is a job, I would just like to be making more along the lines of what I was making back home, because right now I am just barely making it by every month with my bills, no extras! And I am dying herrreee! This is the longest I have ever went without tanning or getting my nails done. It's just not like me to not do both, I am seriously going through withdraws (don't laugh)!!!

Well, I got an early morning, so goodnight everyoneee!!!

Thursday Rants

So I have been officially moved to Columbus for about a month now. I absolutely love it! Well my townhouse and the fact that I get to go to sleep with my love & wake up with my love everyday, well most days lol. And my boyfriend being so amazing, surprised me one day and drove all the way to Akron & back to pick up my dog & be home before I got home from work. So I have my puppy with me, who isn't really a puppy because he is almost 6, but still.

Even though Josh and I live together now, we barely see each other. I go to school in the mornings Monday-Friday which means I have to work nights & weekends, which I hate even more. And he works from like 7am to usually 5pm, sometimes longer, Monday-Friday. And plus there are weekends when he has drill and/or is out of town for work. So when I work at night, its usually 930 when I get home from work and then its bed time because we both get up about 530am, usually. And I always have the weekends off when he won't be home and work the weekends he will be home. Typical huh? So needless to say we don't see each other often & it sucks. I want to say I miss him but we live in the same house, lol. So I guess I can say I miss all the time we used to have with each other. He really is my best friend!

 I still don't really know anyone down here. I obviously talk to the people I work with, but I doubt it will ever be to the point where it is friends outside of work. There just, different. Haha, that was mean. And school is school. It's huge and overwhelming, I don't know if I like it still. It has only been 2 weeks, well 2 weeks tomorrow anways. Only 8 more to go this quarter. I seriously just want to be done. I am losing patience with it all. Whyy must they make getting a degree so hard & costly? On a better note though, I had to take one of those self assessment tests to see what my interest are, as far as a career goes and what I am actually going to school for was number 3 on my list. So I guess thats a good sign....

All Aloneee on a Wednesday Night

So my boyfriend is hanging out down in West Virginia tonight for work, which equals complete boredom for Lauren. You think I would be used to him not being here already between all the crazy hours he works and drill one weekend a month, but no. lol, somebody has to make the money, cuz it clearly isn't me right now.

On that note though, I finally went to training today for work. After all the waiting and other stupid stuff I have had to do, I am finally doing my training. Today was boring though, just got to sit on my butt for 5 hours and pretty much do nothing. My training lady, Dee, she is pretty awesome! So I am actually excited to go to work tomorrow.

I recently joined the FRG at my boyfriends company Christmas party. I am actually a little too excited about it, just because I will finally be able to meet some people & make friends down here. Granted its an hour and half from our house, its still okay. Plus i'll be able to make friends with everyone if he ends up deploying, which he is still trying so hard to do.

I also just discovered that the community college down here, Columbus State Community College, has a radiography program at it. I am already enrolled at OSU for Winter quarter coming up, but I am still so undecided about it there. And I really don't know who to talk to about it. If I talk to my family or friends, they are all going to be biased because they want the football tickets at Ohio State. And school starts January 3rd....I really feel stuckk & don't know what to do still.
