I'm going.  — 12 months ago

So while it is not done, and won’t be for a couple years, it is definitely in the works. It is crazy to me that I am FINALLY really in college. I didn’t think I would ever really do it. I am scared to death that I will fail, but I am so psyched to be going!

I'm a little freaked out right now.  — 1 year ago

If I don’t receive my school loan money this week, then I will not have any money for books or for other school needs. I was really hoping it would have miraculously come earlier than expected, but it hasn’t. Eee! I am rather nervous about it. Classes start on Monday.

School is now paid for!  — 1 year ago

WOO-HOO!!!!!
Now I just need to buy my books. I am really hoping to receive my loan money before school starts so that I can buy my books with it. If I don’t then I am not totally sure how I am going to get them. I’m trying not to worry too much, I’m sure it is going to work out.
Yesterday I went to the school to get a few things done. So I am a few steps closer to getting this really REALLY done!
YAY!!

I'M GOING!!!!  — 1 year ago

I start school later this month. EEE!!! :o)
I am taking two online classes, English and Healthy Lifestyles and one class on campus, Math.
I am so excited and so nervous. I’m not positive what I want to study, but it will probably be either Elementary Education, Secondary Education, or Social Work. We’ll see.
I keep forgetting to go buy my books. ... I need to do that!
Wish me luck!

I will get there!  — 2 years ago

Just not this semester! I need to concentrate on making MONEY right now! That is kind of the big concern right now. Monotreme has been so wonderful and helpful about getting me enrolled, and I am definitly going to use him and the people he knows maybe next semester or the next. Right now is just not the right time!

((Thank you!!))

Today I re-applied to school!  — 2 years ago

They were able to re-accept me over the phone. So I am applying for financial aid right now. Hopefully next week, I can meet with a counselor and pick my classes. YAY!! If I stay on the ball, I can start school in the fall! How great would that be.

I thank nabil for putting the idea back in my head and making me feel like I am capable of doing it!

GRRR!!!  — 2 years ago

I feel like I am at such a dead end. I want to move to LA, I want to go to college out there, but how??? I am BROKE, completely!! I can’t really get much financial aid, cuz my parents make to much. My parents won’t financially help with school. What do I do? I know a million trillion kids do it all the time, so why does it seem so hard for me? I just don’t understand how I can manage to move out there, manage to pay rent, manage to survive, plus pay for school. I want to be grown up so bad and yet I can’t stop acting and thinking like a child. I am VERY frustrated right now. I want to cry, throw my hands up and give up! What a terrible attitude that is, I know!!

I really want to go to school. I recently finished hair school, so I have that education and I could do thta for a living, but I really just have a want to get more education and give myself more options.
