5 Things You May Not Know About My Time in School
1. I went to a community college for two years full time, then a year as only a part-time student, working full time.
2. I had to stop going to school when I got a new job that required I work 12 hour days.
3. I still have yet to get my Bachelors, though while in the Army I plan on trying to take some classes, as I am only 40 credits shy of my goal and it is free while I'm in.
4. I plan on going back to school when I get out, with the help of the Montgomery GI Bill, and get my bachelors in English.
5. My favorite classes are history, English, and Psychology.
5 Things You May Not Know About The Jobs I Have Had
1. My fist job, besides babysitting, was as a dishwasher at a retirement home.
2. My second real job was nearly 4 years later, at the age of 18, as a secretary to a blind engineer at the Hanford Nuclear Power Plant. I learned a lot about computers that I have mostely forgot.
3. I held several jobs after that, including working at a bookstore, which I loved, Circiut City, which I hated, Moneytree, which I also hated, and as a telemarketer, which was just plain evil.
4. Ever since I joined the Army, I have discovered that, 1) it is possible to sleep standing up when you are tired enough. And 2) After 3 days without a shower, everyone smells the same.
5. I have also learned that I can do things I never thought I could, so long as nobody lets me quit on myself.

Date: 2004-09-17 07:17 am (UTC)Those are words of wisdom. Oh, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles? I'm too many years beyond that fandom (as in, I didn't know what a fandom was when I was into them), but I loved the Turtles as a kid. And I was way too old to be loving the Turtles, even at that time.
