I saw that Nom was awake and offered him a blackberry. He not only did not eat it - he rammed me, too! I don't know what I might have done to offend that tortoise, but he is not friendly tonight. If he doesn't get right soon I might have to have him checked out. He's NEVER refused food before!

With it cooling off my bedroom is drying out.

With it cooling off my bedroom is drying out.  I've woken up with dry sinuses for the last few days.  I found this video because (even though I keep Bruce's house dampened), I worry that it won't be enough.

OMG, I was SO PLEASANTLY SURPRISED when I watched this.  EVEN IF you don't have a reptile and don't need to make one of these, if you like animals at all this video will probably make you smile.  This dude with his snake, tho!  I love their relationship.  She makes a great assistant.  LOL  She makes her exit at around the 8 minute mark.

Also, this video caused me to Google "rainbow boa" photos, which I recommend you do.  They are ABSOLUTELY STUNNING.  When I get money one of these days, I'd love to have an Olive Python and probably one of these.  I would want to kiss them with my eyeballs they are so pretty.  😳

Aced another History exam this morning.

Aced another History exam this morning.  96!  Woohoo!  🙂

Gave flea meds to 11 cats ALL BY MYSELF.  Shaun is sick, so... he couldn't help me.  I feel accomplished, though.  Cats are awful.  LOL

I think I have just heard gunshots outside of my house, but I am not sure...

Anyway.  I know that I have a lot going on with classes, but I feel like I want to do computer stuff.  I think I'm gonna try to learn Java from the Internet.  I know there are a thousand tutorials out there.  I just feel antsy and like I'm not doing enough...  I will probably feel that way until I finally graduate.  😕

Anyway.  I feel super tired.  I think I'm heading to bed soon.  ❤

I need advice. It's about career / school stuff.

I need advice.  It's about career / school stuff.

When is it the right time to look for another job when you are planning to switch careers?  I haven't had any major computer classes yet - so far it's only been stuff that I already knew how to do.  It looks like I won't get TOO into the computer classes until I transfer.  I will have a couple eventually at GSCC, but I'm not sure which ones yet.  I'm still covering basics, basically.

I don't know why, but I'm kind of freaking out about the transition - both from GSCC to JSU and also from SCM to whatever new job I get.  I know that technically I don't have any good reason to worry about that stuff just yet, but I feel like it's all gonna be upon me before I know it.  I've been so busy this year that it has just flown by.

Kind of, what I am thinking (and Shaun agrees) is that I should not worry about the job stuff just yet.  Because I feel like so much is changing all the time right now with a different schedule and classes every semester, and learning a new job would just add more stress.  Plus, my current boss is flexible with me and my school schedule, so I worry about switching things up and not having that.

I just don't want to ruin my chances at a great job when I'm out of school by not doing more now.  I don't really know what future employers will be looking at or thinking when they see my resume.  I just don't know what to do.  Seems like a lot of companies want experienced people.  When I get out of school I will have experience holding a job, but not necessarily in my new field.

So.  What do you think I should do?  I feel like my life is tricky right now.

Feels nice and crisp outside.

Feels nice and crisp outside.  Like actual fall.  I've kind of been looking forward to it.

But my hips, tho...  🙁

A little over 2 weeks until I see my new rheumy!

I will survive.

It is weird.

I slept for most of the day.

I slept for most of the day.  (Seriously, I didn't get out of my bed until 3:30 this afternoon.)  I probably needed it because I slept like crap all week.

Shaun worked on moving my modem around the house until we could get a better connection in the back room.  Then we ate dinner at Los Arcos and came home and watched Mockingjay, Part 1 on Hulu.  I haven't really done anything else aside from feed the animals.  LOL

I think I'm gonna do homework until I get sleepy, and then call it a night.

Yay for a (so far) restful weekend.  I feel like my stress levels are in check... at least for the next day or two.  😛
