OMG

Tell me again I'm doing the right thing? I called the college today after I got an email saying that my FAFSA was approved but they had no application for me (which I did last week), and come to find out, I have been accepted, but they are holding my application because I have to retake the ACT! Seriously? It has literally been 30 years since I took that stupid test and I sucked at it back then!

So I went online, registered for the test (which cost me more money, of course, welcome to higher education), and now I have to study stuff I haven't thought about in 30 years so that I can take a test with a bunch of kids on April 14th. Yea me! And if I do badly on the test, I have to do remedial classes which you have to pay full price for, but which don't count toward your degree (so you're basically paying for nothing).

Granted, they are only looking at the English section on mine for some reason (not sure why), but I'm afraid the girl might have told me wrong so I feel like I have to study for the whole test just in case. Again, yea me.

I was holding off the panic until the fall, but I gotta tell you guys, my guts are in literal knots right now. Am I sure I can do this?

You'll be good and if you need help understanding stuff give me a bell. I was a teacher so have some idea of what I'm talking about and can give you some help.

You can do this! I would be paranoid and study for the whole thing as well, but spend extra time on the English portion. I'm not familiar with the test, but am available as a sounding or venting board. :)

Another offer of help here! I would check with the college first just to be sure what they are focussing on.

Don't worry about the test Keiley. I have been a worrier all my life and it does absolutely no good. You ARE doing the right thing. I wish you all the best. I KNOW you can do it.

Happy 13th Blogoversary to the worst blogger ever!

Yep, I'm still here. This is the first time I've touched any blog in months. My focus has been in the "me" world. I have a new therapist and it's still early days, but I'm doing much better both mentally and physically. Work always sucks, so that's already a dead horse. And both pups are still hangin in there. My last post was probably the last time I stitched or at least my last Instragram post was. Maleficent still isn't framed, she's still in her ziploc baggie on the kitchen table. Bad me all around. I'm getting worse at this whole social media thing, what little I do. My job is tech burnout, so by the time I get home, the only tech I touch is my TV. The thought of creating a blog post or human communication in any way is just too much. I do have two vacations coming up, so that's exciting, right? I haven't felt like sharing, so very few people around me know about these. The first is a birthday trip to Boulder, j...

A to Z Challenge - B

PART 1 - JANE AUSTEN ALPHABET-COLONEL CHRISTOPHER BRANDON A much better hero than Edward Ferrars in my opinion PART 2 - MY DISNEY COLLECTION-BOOKS Obviously the age limit on books means very little to me: Do magazines count as books? Well, they are on the book row and they are Disney related, so there you go! There are several more shelves of these and they get more movement than anything else because their weight tends to kill bookshelves rather quickly. It helps to shuffle them around upon occasion to give the poor shelves a breather.

A to Z Reflections Post

I'm going to try not to be as wordy as previous years (but no promises). I did two challenges this year, my Jane Austen Alphabet Cross Stitch project, which is now complete: I haven't gotten it framed yet...heck, I still haven't gotten last year's framed either, so there is no telling when it will get done. Thanks to my friend Tiff for her suggestion of the blue fabric over the brown...she made the right choice I think! There is really nothing more to add on my second challenge, My Disney Collection, other than I have realized that my OCD apparently isn't strong enough to focus me in one particular direction. I like to think I have a Duck Room and a Princess/Villains room, but it's more like a Duck/Stitch/Parks room, a Mickey Bathroom, a Disney-themed kitchen, a living room filled with various objects, and a Princess and Villains bedroom. I don't think as a whole, they look so bad, it just looked a bit hoarderish when I divided them up into categori...
