Now that I'm back in a regular Monday - Friday 8 to 4:30 job (hate it, by the way) I can once again refocus on getting back in school.  Being that I'm 27, I feel more at ease when I take night classes b/c I'm not with the kids right out of high school.  We get a few here and there, but during day classes, it's the other way around.  Not that I really care b/c I do keep to myself in class, but I don't know, it's the mind set of older students I like to be around.  Weird?

I can once again start paying off the loan I owe and get back in by Fall, fulltime.  Hopefully I can once again apply for financial aid, but if for some reason I miss that cutoff deadline (they be walkin' thee plank regardless) I can take a few classes that I can pay for on my own.  Since I'm not yet fulltime here, I can't do any kind of reimbursement through the company.  Stupid!

Everyone wants you to go to school to prove to them you are smart, but it literally costs an arm, a leg and probably a kidney too while we're at it, just to pay for classes...not to mention books on top of that.

I am going to focus on English and Writing this time.  I threw around the idea last time I was in and once I took the Comp II class, I really enjoyed writing on a whole new level.  It was mostly my teacher's fault b/c he was great.  I still keep in contact with him and he teaches a creative writing class.  You can bet I'll be looking for his name when I go to sign up for classes.

Ugh, sign up for classes.  *nerves abound*  I don't mind class, or homework (if you can believe that) but the tests always ALWAYS throw me off.  I'm just not a good test taker.  Give me multiple choice and I can talk you into how each answer can be right.  I need to learn how to eliminate the wrong answers and pick the correct one.

But I digress.  I also want to take a foreign language.  Sometimes I feel like a fool not knowing any bit of any other language.  Idealy, haha, I'd love to learn ancient Egyptian, but since that's not really a course you can take at a community college I think I'll start with French.  Maybe down the line I can learn Latin and work my way to trying to figure out Egyptian.  Maybe...*sets sights REALLY high*

Writing will be my main focus though.  And history such as renaissance and medieval studies.  Maybe I'll do a major/minor type of thing.  I really do enjoy classes and learning so the idea of spending time to learn what I'll love is actually okay with me.

Maybe I'll start off slow on the next semester and work my way back up to a full schedule.  I think that might be smarter.  Just to make sure things work out and all.  I mean, I have to have time for faire in the Fall and all!..oooh rhymes!
