Well. A lot has happened.
1.) Got accepted to college. Now the joy of figuring out how far I am from my degree. I'm staring at my list of classes I've taken. And I wonder if I went crazy. I wasn't just a freakish butterfly. I was a freakish, *high* butterfly. Macroeconomics, I ask you. I remember that class chiefly for the fact that a.) I passed it and b.) I never figured out what those damn charts meant. There are *three possible minors* looking at me. It is scaring me.
2.) Got financial aid results. Shockingly, I qualify. Now I just have to discover for what.
3.) Am getting fired starting in November.
You'd think the last would upset me. But RIF, or Reduction in Force, starts in November, so we shall be looking at the unemployment line coming up soon. I'm kind of gleeful, in a sick and twisted way. A very, very sick and twisted way. Cause *whee*! New job! Well, let's hope. Or unemployment! Which is less of a whee, but sounds interesting, at least. The letter was very nice and upbeat. Which is just disturbing any way you put it. Telling you that you are losing your job should be more dank. Or at least, realistic.
Still dreaming over Onyx. Have spent the last two days rerunning it in my head. It? Is happiness.
Now, I need somethign to do that has nothing to do with potential school. Like--writing. Editing. *Something*.

From:Leaving the job will give you more time to study, right? :) I hope they're giving you a severance package. (That's how I moved to California.)

From:Still, though. Iv'e done my calculations on how many hours I need ot graduate, and it seems to be hovering between twenty-four and thirty-three. I think. So pondering. I really, really need to get my logins forthe website so I can see my entire transcript translated to TSU form so I can see what they let me substitute and what I still need.
So. At least I will not be bored.

From:Still, good timing that you got the college acceptance and the fin aid at the same time as you learn you'll be unemployed -- and hence free to be a full-time student. One good thing about learning this so far in advance is you have six or seven months to see what you can do about paying off anything you have to pay off or saving up rather than blowing it all on DVD sets and trampolines so that you can get by on just your fin aid. Because you can probably knock out that many hours in a year or so if you go full-time -- though I don't know that I'd recommend doing so fall semester because you'll still be working through most of that, still you can get a couple of courses in and then odds are you might be able to take most of what you'll have left to deal with in the spring semester.

From:A couple of thoughts: First, you'll kick ass as a returning student. I have no doubt about this. None. In fact, you'll be pissed at the pace of the courses, wishing your profs would move through the material FASTER, damnit.
Second, I bet you could get enough financial aid to live on without needing to work. You'll love it. You'll love it so much you'll fly through your undergrad work and straight into grad school. You. Will. Rule. The. World.
