Yes one week from tomorrow is my 25th birthday and Clint's 27th birthday. We're cool like that sharing a birthday. And my mom is giving me money for some excellent Razorback tickets that we just so happened to come across...Lower section at the 50yd line!! 55 a piece! So early birthday present for both Clint and I! I won't lie....I'm kinda hoping for a sparkly birthday present. Still trying to figure out what to get him...I figured out Christmas. Just need a good birthday gift for my picky man.
Still doing well in school, excited to find out that instead of making a 38% on my first personal finance test I made a 38/50!! WAY better and so I have a C in finance, a high B in French and a low A in German. Whoot whoot!! Got back my French and German tests - French was an 82 and German was a 95. Also got back essays in both - 45/50 in French, and a 94 on the german one. Now all I have to do is ace my oral exams, continued doing well on my tests, and camp out at the library for a day or so to check out all the copies of the Wall St Journal since i lost my journal for the daily numbers of the Dow. Ugh......
Turned in my re-appeal for my financial aid. Included my evaluation for ADHD and mild depression and funeral bulletins for Clint's grandma and Ryan's mom with it this time, had turned in a note from my doctor about my concussion, and several funeral bulletins including my Grandpa's. I have officially buried them in more than enough adequate documentation and if they don't award me my aid, well then there's really nothing else I can do. I was referred by my financial aid advisor to look into Arkansas Vocational Rehabilitation. What it does is for people with disabilities that inhibit them from doing their very best in school provides some aid. I qualify with my severe asthma and allergies and having ADHD may help as well with that. It is not the same thing as what Kevin is in...Kevin's in a program called the Arkansas Dept of Rehabilitation for disabled people who aren't disabled enough for LifeStyles and are disabled enough to struggle in a college setting.
My car is in the shop and the mechanic quoted the repair to be 450-500 dollars to get my car up and running again. Radiator blew again, so it needs a new radiator and thermostat. AGAIN. This is the 3rd time for this particular car to have radiator issues. Last time caused a head gasket to crack and had to replace the whole engine. I need a new-to-me used reliable car. Wanting an older Honda CRV that's 4wd automatic with lowish miles. Hahaha...we found one in a manual with low miles. No thank you!
I'm still having the headaches when i try to work out -- my doctor said that I could continue to experience these until a year or two after the concussion or may never go away. Gah! All I want to do is fit into my clothes I wore before that blasted concussion! I would even be happy with just being able to have fun and do the things I love without worrying about my head pulsating close to the top of my spine. Only thing I can take for it is ibuprofen. I hate taking so many medications. Looking into getting the BC implant instead of the ring - have an appointment Monday to consult my woman doc and be tested to make sure I'm able to. Trying to do it before the end of the year so I pay half the price instead of the full amount, once January rolls around I pay full price of all my prescriptions. Yet ANOTHER reason why I'm eligible for the Vocational Rehabilitation. Praying that it all works out.
