very discouraged

I do not think I am going to be ready for my physical exam, and everything i have been reading is really getting me nervous about this job. I do not think I can do it. Dam, I am so sore from working out, but I am still nowhere near where i need to be. I guess all I can do is ramp up the training a bit and hope for the best. My phone is disconnected and I really need it to get the call from the border patrol. This really sucks.

My first blog

Okay,
so I'm not too sure who, if anyone will be reading this blog. So maybe it's just a personal motivational tool for myself to reflect upon. I am currently unemployed and living off of my EDD checks and bumming money here and there from various sources. Not too honorable of a lifestyle in my opinion, and to tell you the truth i really don't know how I ended up in this predicament. I know that i do have a goal, irregardless if i don't think i can actually achieve it, or even if I really want to achieve it. I am in the hiring process for the U.S. Customs Border Patrol Agent along the Mexican Border. I have passed my written exam and been given a tentative job offer. My background check and other paperwork have been sent off to Minnesota awaiting approval. I just received my Oral Board Interview Appointment letter. I will be meeting with 3 top dogs down in Chula Vista for an interview. This has got me really nervous. I don't know what to tell them.
On top of all this, I have been trying to get in shape for the Physical Test and medical exam. This has really been killing me. I don't know when they are gonna call, and if it is anytime soon i most likely wont be able to pass the physical. I have been working really hard and trying to get down this test stuff, but i don't think i will be ready. I am depressed. I have 69 dollars to go buy healthy food to last for a while. Trader Joe's maybe?? I need to sell some stuff soon for cash.
More updates to come later.
