Well, yesterday was Black Friday. I actually got mad at a customer. And today it bugs me. A lot. It's a long and complicated story about why she got me mad, (and others were mad at her too, just not as much) and when I get mad I usually just get silent and have a very stern look on my face. She could tell. She abused the system we had going for our check-out process, and knew she could get away with it but in the end could tell I was mad and I knew she felt bad, but there was nothing she could do.
And today it still bugs me that I reacted that way.
Ok, for my memory and your viewing enjoyment, I'm creating a list of things I have done and still need to do before I even start the Nursing Program in January.

I decided to make a list of my large family, just to see exactly how large my family is. I have a LOT of cousins, mostly on my moms side, with several on my dad's side too. My dad's parents divorced and I gained family from my grandfather's new wife, as well as my grandmother re-marrying and having more kids. On my mom's side, I have many many aunts, uncles, cousins. I tallied up just my immediate family which is aunts, uncles, their spouses (only the ones still married in the family), and all of their kids and even grandkids.
My family is HUGE. And this is just my immediate family.
Aunts - 11
Uncles - 13
Cousins (this includes cousins children too) - 76
Yup, you got it. 76 cousins. I have 60 alone on my mom's side. And that's all that I'm aware of. There's some family I haven't spoken to in years, not by choice, that's just how it's worked out. Who knows, I may have more. Most of my family is located in Ohio, but I have a few scattered here and there, like Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico.
I VOTED. Yay! But at the same time I'm scared. The elections are going on and Obama is in the lead. I voted for McCain. The world will surely come to an end if Obama wins. Well that's what Kali, Mike's girlfriend says, and I'm on her side. What right does the government have to take our hard earned money and use it for the own spending? Part of their spending would include giving checks once a year to poor people. That doesn't solve anything except encourage people to quit their jobs, go on welfare, and get free money for sitting on their fat tushies all day.
Personally, I want to work at my job, and keep my hard earned money not because I'm being selfish in any way, but because I earned it to support my own survival. I'm not going to work 40 hours a week to give it to people who are lazy bums who would rather go on welfare than EARN a decent living.
I'm still mad but that's all the ranting for now. I'm still praying to God that some good may come of this, either way, because He is in charge ultimately. I would like McCain to win, but if Obama wins, I pray that it will be the kick in the pants America needs to make them realize the choices they have made.
*sigh*
The TV is beckoning me, I'm going to check on the current election coverage.
After 5 years of college, and 3 years of applying to Nursing Programs, I finally got accepted into my #1 school of choice. I will be starting the Ohlone Nursing Program on January 26, 2009. I have wanted to be in this particular program because not only are they cheaper than a state school, they are literally 10 minutes away from my house.
My whole family is still in shock, I can't believe this is actually happening. Thank you to everybody who has prayed for this to happen!
