One more thing

I got a new computer. I still can't believe how crystal clear the picture is on this thing. Or how fast it runs. It's new enough that the guy at the store said that it will actually stay as a top of the line for about 60 days.

I got to hug my Grandpa last night

My grandparents have been slowly showing up in my dreams over the last little while. A bit ago, it was grandma Eva who passed away about a year ago. And it wasn't a brief visit. We sat and chatted and hung out.

Last night it was Grandpa John (my mom's dad). I haven't seen him in forever. I haven't even felt him around since Grandma Rose passed away in April of 2002. He used to come around all the time to check on us before then. (Yes I believe in spirits and that they can come and walk among the living) I have missed him. But he showed up last night like looking just like I remembered him. Well maybe not perfectly. I was in elementary when he passed away. I was small enough that everything still looked larger than life. I think he appeared a little bit fatter that he was in real life. Oh well, I was good to visit with him.

This would freak some people out, visits from dead relatives. But it was so enjoyable. I didn't wake up sad or anything like that. It was refreshing and very satisfying.

To catch up

It has been such a disgusting long time since last I've written. I've actually been feeling guilty about not writing. Weird but true.

School is going to be the biggest update that I have. I finished my semester at the University. I did good. I got a 3.0 at the end. (A in Computers; A- in Econ; B+ in Psych; C+ in my Christian class; C in Anthro) I was quite impressed with myself. When I did school in my previous life (before I was balanced on meds) I was getting pretty much a strait C student. The A's and high B's feel fantastic.

The problem is that to get into the accounting program at that U you need a high mark. Their competitive average is between 3.0 and 3.3. Later year it was a 3.1. That means that I don't stand a huge chance of getting in. Yikes!

So I changed my plan. I've dropped my summer class (I get to start working right away full time). And I'm going to MacEwan College in the fall. I've already started all the paper work. It's going to be a good program. It's very interactive while the University program is very text book/theory based. Plus it gives me an excuse to buy a new computer. :)

I feel very good with this decision. I'm very relaxed. I'm looking forward to the fall.

Now I just need to get a job.
