This Week

Several things going on this week. Number one is that my parents get home tomorrow afternoon. I spent this evening cleaning the first floor so that it’s ready to go tomorrow.  This is also my last week on outgoing calls at work.  I can already tell you I’ll miss it.  I’m definitely not looking forward to being on incoming all day. I’ve had a few days of that and I wasn’t impressed.  I’m also not looking forward to the time when I can’t transfer calls to a senior specialist.    Oh well – not much I can do about it.  At this point, the way things work I’d start flexing (be signed into incoming and outgoing at the same time and the system automatically switches you between the two) somewhere around 4-6 months after my last training.  I think it’s more in the 5-6 month range, though they say 4-6.  Either way, that’s about the time I’d be leaving for school, so it’s highly likely that when I’m done with dialer, I’ll be done with it for good.   Another thing that *could* happen this week is that I *could* find out about DePaul this week.  Thursday of this week will be the 2 week mark since I got the email and it said 2-3 weeks.  My second letter of recommendation *could* also be placed in my file this week as well. 

Earlier tonight I was reading through the printed copy of my journal. I seriously love that copy.  I was particularly reading through the late October/November section of my journal.  I first read back to my feelings when President Nelson was called as the Stake President.  (Speaking of the Nelsons, Sister Nelson was in our ward today 🙂 ).  And then I was looking through when I first decided to take the LSAT and then to try to get into law school for fall 2010.  I realize time’s gone by fast – it was early November when I decided to try for law school.  It’s now mid-January and I could find out any day now about whether I get in.  While I’d take DePaul if it were the only place I get in, I’d very much like to get into NIU.  That’s definitely my number one.  The other interesting thing about rereading my journal is looking at the schools I was originally going to apply to and mentally comparing that list to the places I actually applied. The only common school was NIU.  I didn’t score high enough on the LSAT to bother with UW, BYU, or Cornell.

The other thing about today is that I find myself wondering why it’s only 8pm.  I keep thinking it should be later.  Right now I’m staying downstairs awhile longer and then letting the dogs out.  I have to let them out sometime after 8:30 so that they make it until tomorrow morning.  I also need to take the medication from the doc to help me sleep.  That reminds me, given how I’m feeling today, I suspect whatever I’ve got is bacterial, given that I’m feeling better and coughing less today.  If it were viral, I should be feeling about the same as yesterday.  I also like that the antibiotic I’m on is a short one.  It’s just two pills on day 1,one on day 2,one on day 3,one on day 4,and one on day 5.  After that I’m all done with the antibiotics.  While I’m feeling a little better tonight, I am still coughing so I’ll be taking the codeine stuff tonight to help me sleep.

There’s also this LDS guy I’ve been talking to on eharmony.  He seems like a nice enough guy. His name is Benjamin.  He lives in Wyoming and we both agree the chances of meeting are probably low, but I mentioned that I always enjoy getting to know other people who are LDS.
