I am officially insured, after 3 years.. Actually better off than I was at Blockbuster, but that's the case in every little detail. Now I just have to basically keep 20 hours a week to keep it.

That's only a little bit harder since I started assessment at WWRC on January 14th. I'm there from 8am tli 3:30pm. For the most part its going well. I like the students in my class, they're nice. There's still a major sense of isolation for me, I feel out of place as a day student. Its a trade up though. While I miss most of what goes on at WWRC and the students staying on campus, I am not on lock down like they are. We all follow the same rules only more apply to them, then myself.. While when we had that snow, they were able to go to class for at least half the day and I couldn't at all. I was also at a disadvantage in that everyone in my class started a week before me. My counselor felt I didn't need that orientation, which I guess might be true..

So here's what's been going on in 'class.' Everything is self paced. Textbook work on Word and Excel 2k3.. Then this online customer service training from National Seminars Training called Through the Customer's Eyes. It is a little cheesy but I really liked it, a lot of the same principles are ingrained and taught at Starbucks. It was nice to see a different perspective, and I end up getting certified in the process. I took notes of course. So I'll have a certificate and something flashy to put on my resume. There's also Keyboarding and then Study Skills.

In Study Skills we basically have to show that we're proficient in Englsih and Math, etc and know how to study and manage time.. We're taking these standardized 7th grade POS type tests that I've taken a few times here before. I felt like I was being treated like a kid, having 3rd grade English for homework.. But it wasn't really that bad and I misunderstood the teachers attitude at first, Mrs. Gold is actually alright. :) I need to really look back on my DBTs and mindfulness....
