So...

Yeah. Just another update. Not much TOO update...is that a good thing or a bad thing?

So a week from tomorrow I will be in Ohio! Can't WAIT! Getting really excited for all the coasters and screaming and rides and carnival type food. Mmmm...elephant ears! :D

Plus it'll be fun to go back to Put-In Bay. Beth is already promising to get another "Give Me My Phone incident." I keep telling her to keep that devil water from me! Haha.

Then, after that is Vegas! It's gonna be so much fun!

Oh, so...an update about school. I went to Joliet last week. Dropped off my financial aid information. Keep your finger's crossed.

I also talked to one of the doctor's. Discussed the bachelor's program (I never knew how to spell that...damn it). Apparently, it's a "2 and 2 program." What that means is that there are only a few schools who will accept the credits from the program at Joliet. The closest school is Purdue. Now, I don't know if that's JUST Purdue, Lafayette or if Purdue Cal will have the program. (Maybe I should look online. haha). Otherwise, I'd have to do another four years. Sigh. Well, I have a little time to think about what I'm gonna do. I have SO much shit to think about...

But, we were talking about where I'd like to end up. I was telling the Dr. about how I really want to work at a zoo. Apparently, the have a few zoos on their externship list. One being the San Diego Zoo! That would be SO awesome! I think I'm gonna try and go for that for my first externship. 6 weeks in San Diego over the summer? Oh, twist my arm! Haha. Plus, it's getting myself some exotic experience, which you have to have for most Zoos. Then, I have an 8 week externship the second semester of my second year. They have an externship at Lincoln Park Zoo, so I'd be closer to home.

I'm excited for school to start, I really am. Especially the externships. It would be SO cool if I get the San Diego Zoo. Hope no one else wants it. Haha. Keep your fingers crossed for me guys!

What else? I was gonna talk about something else...damn. Ah well.

So I still don't really know what I'm gonna do. I know Mags keeps telling me to look around, see what's out there for me. She's not the only one. But it's just, man, I'm worried about the unknown. I was saying, what if I get a decent offer, and not that I want to leave, but just get something to get my boss to counter-offer to keep me. And he doesn't? Then I have to go to the job I may not really want because my boss wouldn't "keep" me.

I know, I know. I'm opening a whole can of worms. Sigh. I just, don't want to think about it.

Anyhow. Still waiting on a date from Furry. :D I'm wondering if the difference in religion will play a major role. I mean, there's a lot of pressure for him to marry someone of the same religion. And he dated someone outside that religion before, and not that he was shunned, but mentioned that his parents never really accepted her/made her feel welcome. It's always been important to me to get along with the family.

But I mean, we still talk every night, for like an hour or more. There's been hints there, and I want to say I'm sure he has a crush, but there have been no real signs.

I think I have a way tho, of finding out. The group was talking to him about religion and dating and all that. So I was going to ask him something along the lines of, "So I know there was talk the other night, but I was wondering. Are you only looking for someone of the same religion or would a girl like me have a chance?"

Sound good? Still working on getting the courage up. I talked to him tonight, but he was on his way to his parents house and is going to be there tomorrow night as well, and not a conversation I'd spring on him then. When he might not be able to get into as much detail, ya know?

But we'll see what happens. Because guys have a way of popping back up JUST when I'm ready to write them off. I mean, the Teacher is going to be coming to Ohio...

I am still single....so I can still do what I want right? Haha. Sigh.

Anyhow. I'm getting to bed. Sweet dreams!
