I'm a Phoenix!

I talked to my college counselor today and I found out that I am officially a college student now! Yay! All my papers when through and such so I am officially a "Phoenix"! You've seen the commercials haven't you?

I guess before I was accepted to the university but now that my FASA papers were accepted, I am actually allowed to go to their college. I don't know how much I will end up having to pay or not yet but I am very excited to find out!
Speaking of paying for college and all that though, Sebastian found out yesterday he will only have to pay $2,000 for his first year in college! Once he fills out some more papers though, he may only have to pay $1,000 because since he works at Mercyhurst, they should pay 50% of his tuition cost! Yay for him! He's so excited and I'm so proud of him!

"If Heaven Wasn't So Far Away"

Yesterday in the car, I was listening to the radio when I heard the country song "If Heaven Wasn't So Far Away" by Justin Moore. I've heard it before but never actually listened to it until yesterday.
"If heaven wasn't so far away
I'd pack up the kids and go for the day
Introduce them to their grandpa
Watch 'em laugh at the way he talks
I'd find my long lost cousin John
The one we left back in Vietnam
Show him a picture of his daughter now
She's a doctor and he'd be proud
Then tell him we'd be back in a couple of days
In the rear view mirror we'd all watch 'em wave
Yeah, and losing them wouldn't be so hard to take
If heaven wasn't so far away"

"Introduce them to their grandpa..."

That one line, "Introduce them to their grandpa" just stuck out and kept repeating in my head. It got me thinking. I could not even imagine what it's like to not know your grandparents. I started feeling sad and sorry for all the kids who will never get to know or meet their own grandparents. Ugh, my heart just sank at that moment. That is when I realized how lucky I am. I am SO lucky to not only know my both sets of grandparents but to have the chance to know 3 of my GREAT grandparents! When that song was over I thanked God for the blessing of grandparents that he gave me. I feel so blessed and so lucky that I can not even put it all into words.

Busy as a Bee!

I officially have a schedule to work at Giant Eagle now! But, I need to make sure when I go in on Sunday, that I wrote it down right because if I did, I'll be working 44 hours next week! (Definitely not complaining!) I am surprised! I guess it was more hours than what I was expecting but I am glad that they want to give so many! Like I said though, I'm going to double check because it just seems like with all the 300 new people they are hiring, that they wouldn't really need me that much but who knows!? I will definitely be very busy this upcoming week and I am so looking forward to finally making some money!

Basically, I am just so excited that my life is finally getting straightened out and I can finally share some responsibilities. Even though Sebastian makes enough to support us, I always felt bad not being able to help financially. I mean, sure I cleaned and took care of everything else while he worked but it still felt unfair somehow (even though he would never think it was). It's all finally coming together perfectly. :)

Boom Chicka Boom Boom!

OMG! I AM SUPER EXCITED! I have orientation at Giant Eagle at 4 today and I have officially become a student at the University of Phoenix online! Eeeeeeek! I start college June 25th! For anyone who is wondering, I will be going for an arts degree with a concentration in communication. I want to become a journalist or an editor when I'm "all grown up". By the way, I officially got a PA identification card today and that really does make me feel like a real person now! AND I got to use it like 30 minutes after I received it by going to PNC and getting my own bank account! YAY! AND because I work at Giant Eagle, I received an "upgraded" account that has higher interest rates and all sorts of cool stuff that a regular account doesn't have! OH YEAH!

So, all in all, life is going good today!

Being a Person Day 4

4 days into my "being a person" days and I have officially become a Giant Eagle employee and did half of my paperwork for college! SO much paperwork I had to fill out today and SO much electronic signing! I never knew how much information a person needed to have/know until today. I thought it was cool though that because of technology developing and all that I just filled out everything I needed online and just "signed" all the papers with just clicks of buttons. What will this world think of next? I'm scared.
But anyway, when I finished filling out stuff for GE and saw that they "officially welcomed" me to their team and that I had my own employee ID number, I started freaking out and jumping up and down. Because you know, it is my FIRST employee ID number! Yay!
Tomorrow is also a day of many first! I will be getting a state ID, possibly a permit, and definitely my own bank account! SO EXCITED! I'm also excited and very happy for Sebastian because he found a landscaping job since Mercyhurst is out for the summer! We are becoming two working/college bound 18 year old's! And we aren't doing too bad if I do say so myself! ;) 

Wish me luck tomorrow and Wednesday!

The Beginning of the Rest of my Life

Early last Friday evening I was doing my hair and getting ready to go to Olive Garden to celebrate my brother, Nyke's, birthday with my family. I was singing "Holes in the Floors of Heaven" a country song I have sung with my grandma Becky and Grammy since I was real little. Once Grammy died, we dedicated the song to her. As I was singing and prepping, the phone rang. My grandma then called me upstairs and told me it was the social security office asking for me. ME! My heart started racing when I picked up the phone. The lady told me the good news that I have been waiting to hear! My name on my social security card is now also changed to Dobruk, just like my new birth certificate! I felt like Grammy was with me at that moment. My journey of 4 months is finally over and I am officially and completely a Dobruk on paper now! (I've always been a Dobruk at heart.) Mostly thanks to Jane Earl's pushing and prodding, I can now go to college, go to my job at Giant Eagle (FINALLY!), get my own bank account, get a permit and driver license! I can be a person now! Going into college debt and all! (lol) I can now finally begin the rest of my life. I feel so relieved, so over joyed and I almost feel reborn because I am not stuck anymore. I am free to do as I wish!

On a random note, Mooey the mouse, who we thought had 12 babies in one litter, actually had 13! AND she's ready to pop again! ;)
