It is safe to Say

That I have solved my issues....
Or God did, I had little to do with it....he is the driver afterall. =D

This is the scoop.  

Starting July 23 I will start my new career as a Management Analyst in the Social Security Administration , in Maryland.  In the office of Information and Telecommunications (IT), bassically computers.  They run one of the National Computer Centers for the Social Security's network.  Sounds fancy enough but Im just happy to work for a Federal Agency.  You get a KICK A$$ health and life insurance, retierment plan and for the first 3 years I will get a steady raise of 10k a year.  Then after that if I want a raise I would have to change careers within the Agency....but they have A LOT of indoor career growth.  So Im not worried.  The point is to get your foot in the door.  

My husband also got a job there in the Office of Central Operations.  

So, problem solved.  We will move On July 6, 2007.  Finally. Some hope.  Im happy.....we are renting a truck and driving for 14 hours from FL to MD.  CRAZYYYYYYYY  He starts his job on the 9th.  OMGZZZ 

We will live with my folks for a while.  Couple of months.  Until we get rid of some credit.  PERFECT!!!!!!!!!!!! hahahha Then hopefully we will buy something.  Or rent I dunno its to early to know.

Im a little disapointed I wont be a teacher anymore.  This is true.  But, the current goverment (ironic I ill be sort of working for them) has messed up the way teachers have  to teach.  Its the truth.  It is all based on tests.  I dont believe in that. I wanted to inspire...its truly hard to explain.

*sigh*

Things happen for a reason, I dont doubt this.  God has a plan....and Itrust him(it---Im more of a nature is God---believer) without offending you!  Im just happy I opened my heart, head and ears enough to listen! and not push my OWN will into EVERYTHING I WANTED.....

Thank you <3

So.....yesterday I took the biggest test and I didnt pass it.  
I deserve that.  Who am I to think that I can go there and pass such a HUGE test...and only study 2 days prior for that ONE in particular.  Cause I had studied for the others...and had passed them(theses are computerized test so you know right away if you pass or not).  But for all of the others, I had some weeks in advance to study.  

Anyhow.  The moment I find that I didnt pass...and I walk out of the room I get a phone call from Maryland.  From The Social Security Administration.  I find out that I got the job that I had applied for months ago.  



Is this how things plan out to be???????  I have no clue.  In the moment I accepted the job...even when they asked me if I could be there this MONDAY.  Yes, that's right.  In less than a week.  Granted.  This is a FEDERAL job.  They have been dong my background check and interview for a while....but I had just...given up the hopes.  I did say I could go right away.  But MAN..................................

Man. I will be literaly working for the man. lol.  How carazed up this has turned out to be.  Sure the growth within the Agency are inmense.  But think of the downsize at the moment.  No more teaching?  The husband and I will be separated AGAIN at least till September.  He will have to leave his job.  It just isnt fair. I would HATE IT...if I finallly got the promotion I had wanted (which he did get it) and suddenly I have to give it up because my spouse got offered another possition in another state...I would be devastated....this is how he must be feeling right now.

He is very supportive of course, always is.  

Some will ask...why dont you find a job there in Florida Dee? Yes, makes perfect sence right? It did cross my mind at some bizarre point.  Let me explain.    By failing the test I now have to wait 31 days to retake it. (PERFECT I can study!!) In the mean time I can find a get me by job.  The only problem is that with my NEW FOUND epilepsy...I HAVE to HAVE a health insurance. I still have all of those medical bills from the car accident back in Feb to take care of.  So I cannot afford to be without medical.  My teacher insurance runs out in August 12.  So from now till August 12th I would have to find a job with a decent health care. The thing is...if I do pass the test I can teach in August...if I dont pass the test I WONT be able to study.  IM TAKING THE CHANCE.

ITS TOUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why doesnt your husband put u on his insurance?  To put me on his we have to wait till January and it would cost us 400  a month.  

I have been trying to find a job since May...but nothing has come along....until now.  Im either not qualified, or OVER qulified.  WHAT IS THAT anyways?

I have no clue on what to do honestly.

If you have reached this far....THANK YOU just one more thing

What would you do?

What Gives

Ok so, here goes another small recapon whats going on with me so far:

* Finished school(work) Thank GOD because I was going insane hehehe dont miss it.
*Currently unemployed.  Not really hating it, except for the fact that I dont get a paycheck. hhmmm
*Been studying like a mad person for my 4 tests, 3 of them are for the Florida teacher certification test, 1 is for the GRE.  Im not quite sure if I WILL go to graduate school or what WILL I major in, its a maybe, sorta kinda wanna thing.
*If I dont pass the teaching tests I might have to find a job at Burger King.  No one is hiring me and I am either over or under qualified.  What the hell is that anyways.  I just want a job. idiots.
*Have a job interview in MD, if I do get the job we MIGHT move, if not...might have to jump from the 20th floor of a building. LOL
*Dont know if I want to continue being a teacher anymore though, .......this hurts me more than I though it would.
* Side effects of the medicine are down and undercontrol.  I am finally a normal human being again.  
*Im slowly stating to drive and it feels GREAT...my life is stating to take shape and I didnt know it could ever feel this good.
* Im reading the book "The money book for the Young Fabulous and Broke" because I know NOTHING about finances.  I dont know the difference between an IRA and a 401K.....  everyone should buy and read that book even if they arent broke.  Its a very very easy, informative read and it is designed for young(er) people heheheh.  Its author is Suze Orman.  

Things are set to start going foward....now I just need the powering motor to move us.  Im wondering were life is taking us this time.  I love moving but Im ready to set some roots and buy some property.  I should be...I am after all 28 hitting 29 in like what.  4 months. THATS HORRIBLE.  I will celebrate my 6th wedding anniversary with Tomas next month.  Thats 6 married 6 together.  Long time and no kids.  Although...hes been pressururing on THAT subeject for the last 4 years of our marriage so I think it is time I gave in LOL hahahah I want kids I just always been kinda...OMG I want to do this and that.  hheheh *sighs* Time to grow up I guess.... :'(

Ok Im out! Hope everybody is well well and stay out of this horrible heat...OMGZZZZZZZ

Went to the Doctor

And she said....

Yes, you are right.  Your pills are giving you extreme side effects, but I cannot remove you from them because you will start "seizing"(sp?).  So I need you to take 2 - 3 weeks off from work (weeeeeeeeeeeeeeee) and start slowly taking these other pills.  Slowly we will remove you from the other pills and hopefully you will feel like yourself again.

I couldnt feel happier to hear that.

I still feel crappy about not being able to drive and taking the bus and having a horrible job and living in a crappy place...and blah blah blah

But at least, I will feel beter about myself.

So in those 2 weeks I dont want to stay here all lonely  (husband works and i cant drive)....My mom said I should go with them again.  Yay  and its perfect...cause the washingon DC sakuras are blooming and thats the one thing I regret the most about leaving Japan.  (amongst a million more of course)

So I am. YAY

YAY

Today was a better day, because I didnt work

A year???

I was actually going to wait for the year mark to update. But I was bored and decided against it. 

I left Japan in December 18, 2006. Family emergency.  I still regret it.  I miss it, but I guess I would have it August when I would have left it anyways. 6 more months, would it have made a difference?  (I like to think so ....).

Japan was wonderful and it as the best thing I have ever done (after marrying Tomas of course..)

But enough about Japan, let's go to the highlights of my new life in Florida to reupdate you!

- My best Friend from junior high (yesenia) and my husband best friend (edwan) got married in december. Go them!!!

-Got a job in a Middle school, downtown Orlando.  Teaching intensive reading to 6th and 8th graders. LOVE my 8th graders.  My 6th graders, not so much!

-Got into an accident in February after having a seizure and loosing consciousness. Nothing happened to me.  The car wasn't greatly damaged.  I was in the hospital for 3 days and after 4 seizures they have determined I have epilepsy.  Which sucks, cause now I cannot drive for 5 more months.

-The medicine I have been placed in sucks greatly.  I feel like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde I have LOts of memory loss, mood swings...you name it I have it.  Its becoming very inconvenient. Specially at work, I'm not preforming as I normally would be.

-Unfortunately my insurance hasn't kicked in yet (starts April 1st)so I cant change prescriptions till then. Oh and by the way....because of that, I owe the Florida Hospital 15,000.  At the moment I am applying for a charity grant.  Lets hope for the best.

-I don't like my school in general because administration is non-supportive.  But there is only 40 more days left of school. Yippie!!!!!!!!

Well that is all of me in a Nut shell.  I will try to keep yall informed.

Have a good one!
