This week, I am thankful:
that I do not have to take Writing 101
When I graduated from high school, my SAT scores got me straight into an honors English college class, which covered English 1 and English 2 (Words have always been my thing. Numbers, not so much.)
Because of the two-fer nature of my English class, when I transferred to my BSN college, it was showing that I only had credit for English 2.
And that meant the Writing 101 class was still on my to-be-completed list.
Obviously, I could do that class with no problem, but I am not interested in taking more classes than I need to, especially when they are at a much lower level than where I am currently.
My advisor put in a transfer exception request, and this week, I found out that it was approved. YAYYYYY!
I was going to seriously hate having to waste time doing a 101 class. Geez. So, I am thrilled with this news.
(I probably would have tried to do a CLEP test to get out of taking Writing 1. But now I don’t even have to do that.)
that I’m not running my heat
I am grateful for my toasty warm oil heat, but woo, it comes at a price. I am grateful to not be slowly draining my oil tank at this time of year. 🙂
Looking at the forecast, I might be all done running it until fall, actually!
for my floor fans
It’s been uncomfortably warm (in my book) for the last few days, and I am grateful for the floor fans I got off Facebook Marketplace a few years ago.
It’s not really time to turn the AC on (!), and the fans made this little heat wave quite tolerable.
The real feel outside yesterday was 89, but luckily today is cooler.
that I was able to host my friend and her son
My friend Mia (also a single mom who is a nurse!) and her son had plans in the area, so they stayed with me for a few days this week. I’m glad I was able to provide lodging for them (and we joked that the amenities here include off-street parking, since I have a long-ish driveway!) 🙂
that I like my job
I’m headed to work today, and I am actually working five twelve-hour shifts in the span of six days (two on, one off, three on).
This is a lot to work so close together, and I know I will be tired by Tuesday, but I am grateful that I like my job and I like my coworkers.
And mercifully, I have quite a few days off in a row after this string of shifts. Yay!
that my residency program is going to end fairly soon
Our last monthly class is in July, so I only have four more to go. I’m â…” done with it!
The classes are not hard, and they don’t really have homework, but still, I’ll be glad to have one less thing on my schedule.
for the early blooms
Every time I go for a walk, I see more and more flowers and leaves!
I am a fan.
that my driver’s license renewal was easy and affordable
I was able to do it by mail, and it was $64 for an eight-year renewal. SWEET.
that my car is a hybrid
I went to fill up at the pump yesterday and I was like, “ummmmmm, whoa.” about the price per gallon.
So it’s a nice bonus that my Civic is the hybrid variety. I don’t use a lot of gas these days!
What are you thankful for this week?
