It's been awhile, hasn't it!

Sorry guys! I'm so busy lately. I also can't sleep right now! I slept for a total of about two hours and my mind decided that it was time to get up! So I've just been trying to get through school and everything. I'm having a hard time focusing lately, which really isn't good! I need to nip that in the butt majorly! I'm taking Intro to Biology (we started out with stuff that I really didn't care about, but we're getting into more interesting things lately. My teachers team teach and it's hilarious! I think we're starting photosynthesis on Monday). I'm taking General Chemistry II (I feel like I understand the class better than I understood 105 and my teacher, however bad of a rep he has, totally kicks butt. He rocks! Chemistry still isn't my thing, but life goes on, right?). I'm taking Human Anatomy and Physiology II (I love everything I learn in that class. I wish I didn't decide to take it so early though because it makes it hard to stay awake. I have no idea how my teacher jumps around the whole time he's teaching at that time of the morning!) I am also taking Themes in Literature (our theme is Faery and it's one of the most fun classes I've taken. I'm really sad my teacher's retiring after this semester. He also kicks butt). That's my life. I also decided to apply for a really awesome job during this time of no sleep. I really hope I didn't sound too "herp-derp" in my cover letter that I had to majorly change around. The job I applied for was as a donor processing assistant at the plasma center and the last job I applied for was as a copy editor for online course development. Very different skill sets if you ask me. Having a job will be stressful (if I get it!) but in all reality, I really need the money and I really need the hands on patient experience for grad school because physician assistant programs demand super heroes! (A- averages and thousands of paid, hands on clinical hours). As a donor processing assistant, I would take medical histories, make sure those who come in to donate plasma are eligible, maintain a safe environment, answer the phone, etc. I would feel like this is my first real job! Although I loved waitressing, it still was my first job and it didn't feel like a real grown up job (even though there were ladies much older than I waitressing at the good ol Bob Evans). The main advantage of working at the kiosk was that it was laid back and it was a job (no one else was hiring when I got this job). Custodial work was pretty cool mostly because the hours really didn't get in the way of my schedule (4 am-7 am). Anyway, since submitting everything for the job, I feel a little more awake and may just attempt homework. I tried it earlier, but my brain melted (oh I think I just copied that from my FB status, OH NO!!!)
