What I've Been Up To . . .
I just can't seem to get used to writing on a blog every month, every week, much less every day. It seems there's never enough time in the day, and there's not that much to update on these days, but here goes.
Well, the good news is that this is my last semester of college where I'll earn an associate's degree in office systems technology. And I have senioritis as one instructor says. I'm ready to be done, but I don't think I'll ever be done completely. I want to keep going part-time. I need four more classes/subjects before I can get a diploma in medical office administration and one more class for the Level I accounting certificate. I also want to take more business and Web design classes. But those classes will have to wait until I find a job.
The job--Yes, I have officially started the search. I would love to work at the VA Medical Center that is only five miles from my house. That is my goal, and I've recently applied for a job there. Both my husband and my father are veterans of the U. S. Army, and I admire the brave men and women who fight for us and protect our country. If I could afford to, I would work for free just to give something back to those who have given so much to me.
And I've started networking. I've joined a few Web sites online. They are AdminsSecret, GovCentral, and LinkedIn. I joined another one about a year ago, but forgot which one it is and haven't been able to find my way back. I've been a member of MySpace and FaceBook for a while now, but since I started classes, I haven't been very active on them.
On the writing front: I started a new Lana Malloy paranormal mystery story a while back and I've been thinking about it a lot lately. I plan to work on it this month and next, and hopefully I can report that it is finished soon.

Congrats on all the hard work in school, Kim. You're doing a great job and setting plans/goals for the future. When so many people are losing hope about the economy, you are a beacon of light. Thanks so much for sharing these musings with us. I really enjoyed hearing about the good things happening in your life. *hugs*

Thank you, Adrianna. I appreciate the support. Yes, life can get us down sometimes, but we can't let the bad times win. I prefer to think positive. I received a phone call from one of the positions I applied for last week. An impromptu phone interview. I think I sounded confident although I'm not sure I have the expertise they're looking for, and not sure how well I did (as I wasn't prepared) in the interview. I wasn't expecting a call so soon.
