#042 - Loads of school pressure, vehicle inspection fail, and I need to buy cloths again.

Sunday, November 9, 2014

So school work has really ramped up in the past month or so. All the blow-off easy classes seem to be over and now I'm in the meat and potatoes of the degree. Last semester it was Introduction to Healthcare Administration which I barely passed. This semester it's Healthcare Ethics and Healthcare Marketing, both of which are insanely difficult. Here are my books for the three classes:


I'm no expert, but I believe two of these books were published by Daleks. What else could account for such miserable topics. They're such a pain to read, honestly. They're dry, boring, and entirely uninteresting. But I need to know these cover to cover if I have any hope of earning a masters. Especially the APA manual as I have to write a lot.

I really really want to make another YouTube video. I've been neglecting it for a long time now. It's just hard to find a peaceful free moment. They're not easy to do either. A lot of editing and do-overs are involved. It isn't just hitting record and pushing it onto the website as is. I had plans on shooting one this weekend, but car problems came up.

I took my car in to get inspected and I was so sure it would pass. Everything seems to be in good working order until the report came back in:


That really sucks. Rear tire tread doesn't have enough tread and front brake pads are a little too worn out. It's going to cost $350 to fix them both. I can get cheap used tires sufficient to pass inspection, but the brake pads are the killer here. I can probably just buy them and replace them myself in the driveway. I'm no stranger to mechanics and working on things. It's just that I've never done this and I'm relying on Google and YouTube tutorials to guide me through it.

I need to save every penny I can and this is the best way possible. I also have to go cloths shopping again. My teachers have made it abundantly clear we are no longer allowed to wear casual cloths. No jeans, no sneakers, no t shirts or anything like that. Business casual or professional is what we're required to wear:


Now, I am definitely not a business dress kind of girl. I prefer jeans, boots, and getting down and dirty when necessary. This is going to be weird for me, more uncharted territory that I'm wandering into. I also need to stop swearing like a sailor and telling dirty jokes. It's not appropriate for a lady nor a business setting.

I have no idea how I'm going to afford either one of these, but I'll manage. I think I can be a little ninja and drive with a rejection sticker for a little while. Long enough to afford fixing.

Well that's about it for now. I'm going to try and make a video tomorrow evening if I can. It's going to be 11pm at night and I'm going to be physically and mentally exhausted from school and work, but we'll see how it works.
