It’s wild

Good job dash

Did I mention I graduated? Life got real busy those last couple months and have been these last couple since I graduated. Hopefully things level out to an enjoyable pace.

I made it

With two weeks to go, I realized I have learned quite a bit since starting my time here at otc... my dad(who is not a car person) and myself changed the alternator in my truck. 70 weeks ago, I would of spent way too much money by taking it to a shop, the thought of replacing it myself would never of crossed my mind.

I live with Mr Mopar now... Signed the lease in week 50. Started to move in during week 52 and we are still in the process of moving stuff around and actually getting settled in. I went down to visit his family during our summer break (week 51-52). While I was down there my family put my cat down (Rest in peace Darkness, you were so young) and the hospital called my mom in for her surprise liver transplant. We knew she needed one, we just didn’t know when she would get one. Currently she is still in the hospital and has been going in and out of surgery since. Weeks 44 to 50 were a living nightmare. I was in the middle of moving out of one house and into another with my family. My mom was very sick and was going in and out of the hospital. I was being “forced” to learn about engines, and transmissions along with various other under the hood components.The six weeks prior to that,(like 37 or 38 to 43) I was taking a pin stripping class. The teacher was loud and gave me migraines but I suffered onward. It is rather nice to be away from the family. Mr Mopar works two jobs, while I have one (that’s because I am going to school on dad’s GI BILL still). He gets home late so I get the apartment to myself for a few hours most days of the week. He said I have been more relaxed since moving out, but I don’t know, maybe one day I will wake up and notice the difference. Oh, week 52, we started our airbrushing class.
