Praise The Lord And Pass The Pizza...Stage One Is Over

YEAH!! I just returned home from the FOURTH weekend in a row at Real Estate School.

I passed the class exam this afternoon so the next step is to apply with the state commission, get approved, and schedule the state exam. If all goes well I should be through in the next few weeks. Once that test is passed I need to take the final sales course (30 hours - two more weekends) and I will have my full license.

My brain is sort of mushy right now, and I am looking forward to getting my weekends back. We are going to visit Jason next weekend before he deploys.

Broken link to bloggger

I just realized that my link to my blogger account has been broken for some time. The short is that I thought that I was posting to the blog and it wasn't.

Sorry.

Days and Days and Days...

As you can see my last post was July 30th. That was when it all started. School that is.

I am a student again. In an official capacity that is, going to class and such.

The friend that I have been working for in the real estate office came over to the house at the end of July and offered to pay for my license if I went. You don't have to ask me stuff like that more than once. I accepted.

Mind you. Real estate wasn't my first choice of employment. Not even my second.

Life and situations have a way of getting you to take the hand dealt when such things happen. I need work. Jen and I are making it but unable to do some of the things (Hell, none of the things) that we had planned to do once the doctor's accepted the offer to build the office. That didn't turn out so well through a turn of events.

So through another turn of events I am in school. I know the name is pretty corny (Real Estate School For Success) but the instructors are great. I am in the "do 60 hours in four weekends" class, so that means that I work during the week and drive to Columbia, SC (50 miles) on Saturday and Sunday for class from 8:30 am - 5:00 pm.

Needless to say that I don't have a lot of free time. Well, I must admit that I am a bit compulsive about the reading and have set out to read the 400 page book ONCE PER WEEK. There are two weeks down and two weeks to go and I am on schedule for the reading.

The class basically has two purposes: 1) To enable you to pass the State Real Estate Exam, and, 2) To keep you from doing stupid shit and going to jail.

That's nice:)

Anyway, the reason that I have some free time is that I am doing a reinstall of software on a Windoze machine in the office where I did the deployment three months ago. Funny thing, PC's having problems. Hummm.

Anyway, gotta go the machine is rebooting and I need to get done and get to bed!

UPDATE - As usual, the machine has some sort of issue and I cannot log in under the designated user. I'll be up for a while:)
