Update on the Boob.

...what's the point of him trying to be goodafter that?...

So that nobody worries. I have an appointment on January 4th to see the surgeon who will remove it. It was not made clear whether he'd remove it that day or not, but... we shall see.

On a horrible not quite as bad note, my son got suspended yesterday for choking hugging too hard a classmate. The way it was described, it was one of his friends, and he was basically roughhousing with her a little too hard. He doesn't appear to have done it maliciously, but I worry that he's a bully with a nice kid's face. Gosh I hope not though.

He has been instructed that if he so much as puts a finger on anybody at school any more he'll be in BIG trouble. As it is, he's working off his punishment at home by doing many many chores and being grounded from his favorite thing ever (video games). He's also been informed that if we find out he hurts anyone else in school, for any reason whatsoever, all his things will be removed from his room and all his privileges will be removed indefinitely. Rob said till he was 18, but I wouldn't let him be that harsh. Maybe we'd just send him to juvie or something. Because, once you take away everything a kid loves, what's the point of him trying to be good after that? What would he have to loose?

Yeah, it would just get worse if I let that happen. So, it won't. I'll put my foot down.

Thoughts thoughts and more thoughts.

...No school till later- New IPod right Now!

Bad news and good news and some general stuff. Maybe. lol
Ok, so I decided that I'm putting off school.
I really want to do it, but realistically I can't imagine dealing with school, work, and my surgery in Spring. I don't want to start school only to have to quit again later this year. Bad for my learning, bad for my credit.... (i.e.; student loans! ick)
I have officially dropped all my classes, and I'm going to the school today to talk about the reprocussions of doing that. I want to make sure my loans have been suspended/cancelled till I'm ready to start. I may start summer of '08 or wait till Winter of '08. Maybe things can be a little less crazy at that point.
I'm totally dissappointed, but really, honestly. I need to wait. In the meantime I'll continue to study on my own and focus on work and getting to March (when I'm supposed to have my surgery - more on that later)

Ok, on to the good news. I won an IPOD at work!!! One of those new ones, that have video. It's an 8 GB black IPOD nano! These are soooo awesome.

Also, after much going back and forth on this. I've got my paperwork 90% finished for my lap-band surgery. I am anticipating a 6 month physician supervised diet, so I won't be able to do it till March at the earliest. Also, from what I've seen on other people's blogs, it's not uncommon for insurance approval to be very very slow. I need to get this ball rolling!!!

Ok, that's all for now. See ya!

Kickass.

In the Math section... had to stop when I got to the last one...

I got my tests done. They were easier than I thought they'd be... well except for the last part of the math area. I got 114 on Reading and 98 on Writing. Which means I don't have to take a reading class at all if I don't want, and for Writing, I'll be in Writing 121 instead of 101.

In the Math section it wasn't such a clear score, but lets just say I passed the first 4 sections, and had to stop when I got to the last one. It was Algebra, and although I do know some, I don't know enough to try to guess through it for that test. I did answer the first one in that section though, and got it right. So I'll be taking Introductory Algebra too, which is a one semester/term(?) course instead of a year long course.

So I have an appointment to go see my counselor next Wednesday at 2:30, to make sure I'm on the right major. I think I picked it right, but I need to be sure.
