Starting Over...

Still trying not to panic

I sent Dr. S an email yesterday telling her I would be starting full time at Whole Foods the week of Dec 10th. I thought she'd allow me to continue working for her until the end of Dec. to keep my benefits going, but she's saying she wants me out sooner. Turns out I'm covered until the end of Dec. anyway, but it's COBRA all the way until at least May. That's $1750 or more than half my savings since I won't be getting a check from the University on Jan 1st.

Dr. S. also seemed a little annoyed by the leave time I'd accrued, which worries me because we've been getting along so well and she seemed happy to write me a great reference for graduate school. I hope she hasn't changed her mind on that. I've waived the right to review the reference before submitting (as is usually required, or at least suggested, for most programs) so there's no way to know.

I guess I'm not in for as hellacious a month as I thought. I've already signed up for a Technical Drawing class at the community college, but that doesn't start until Jan. 17th. I'd like to take an Applied Calculus class, but have to meet with a counselor to establish my placement. Hopefully, it won't be full before I have a chance to sign up.

Sadly, the drawing class is on Thursday nights, Waltz, which means no poker for the semester, but we might be able to squeeze in Wednesday night games.
