Hectic January...

well... I started an online college class on 1/3 (taking the class as a way to make room for others not required but that I wanted for personal growth) that lasts until 1/19, I start my final spring semester on the 22nd...

well... I was not expecting the workload presented in this online class, and have no less then 10 written papers due (of good length) due by 1/19 !! This is the most written work I have ever had to do in the time I have been in school, including my English writing classes !!(this online class is Child Psychology mind you...) anyways, I have 2 papers due every 3 days for the next 2 weeks... so I am going to be a little busy in regards to plugins/updates ... I may be seen playing once in a while (I do deserve some breaks) and I will always keep an eye on the forum and help out when I can... but during these next 2 weeks.. I wouldn't expect anything too substantial from me...

wish me luck...

all 10 papers done !! All A's !! Class is finally over !! Got an A !!

Now its back to a regular semester, but since there has been a dramatic change in my life recently I will be unable to continue on with my education at this time (after I graduate this June) as I will have to get a job to support my wife and 2 children...

but on a good note, since I no longer collect unemployment, I can legally open my business back up again !! www.PreciousJEMs.net (http://www.PreciousJEMs.net) so maybe I can make some money again that way... if only I made enough to go to school more...

It is the weirdest feeling... as a child all through school I wanted out so bad, then during highschool I got what I wanted, I got early, got a full time job and worked for liek 15 years straight til it dawned on me I fked my life up and I hated my job and my choices, blah blah blah... So I went into my community college and got some info, ended up walking out registered for classes ... now to just find the money to pay for those classes...

Tried the financial aid route, did not think I was eligible, but it was free to apply and worst they can do is say I am entitled to no money... so as I wait, I borrowed the money for school tuition and was prepared to go back... 1 week before school started got a letter from school telling me how much money I was awarded for school.... turns out I was awarded MUCH more then the total cost of the schooling, and the best part... I get to keep the excess !!

Long story short, I have not paid a cent to go to school yet... Financial Aid paid for my first year, then I was awarded a scholarship for my second year... so that means ALOT more excess coming back to me !!!

But, the whole point of all of this is that I am sad to know this is my last semester at school. I love being there. Honeslty, I think the school likes having me there.... They are in desperate need of a CS tutor, as I have been the only one past year and a half...

So for any of you still in highschool and you think you want out now... think it over... take it from a 30 year old guy who made that poor choice... there is nothing I would want more then do start over and go to school right out of high school...
