So sitting in Computer Sciences class this morning doing everything except paying attention, I discover that my financial aid for whatever reason has not been applied to my tuition, and that I needed to agree to the terms.
I did this back in March but whatever, I do it again.
Upon doing this, I find out that my financial aid changes substantially if I stay part time, like my intentions were.
Just so you know it's actually financially (and for the sake of graduating sooner rather than later) better for me to take on four classes as opposed to two. So since I got out of class (who are we kidding, even during) I have been on a scramble to find two other classes, a week in a half into the semester.
Which, if you don't know, is harder than a polar bears tit in Alaska, if you ever had to do this.
I already got class three: Acting for Film Directors, it starts in a few hours. The other one I'm trying to break into. Cinematography, is slightly more difficult because the classes are already full. My job at this point is to find the professsor, and tell him my sob story about being a struggling film student and how difficult it is for me to find classes that fit my busy schedule as a full time worker and full time student, and hopefully he buys into it.
Not that, that's not the case.
What this also means for me is that my work schedule, quite possibly is going to be screwed again, especially if he only lets me into the Thursday class and not Mondays. I have
If I have to go Thursday, then that means I need to take Thursday off instead of Monday (seeing as Thursday class is right in the middle of the day as opposed to Monday morning). So on Monday, I have to go to school at 8am dressed for work, and leave for work, immiediately following class.
Something I do not want to do.
Also potential plans like another trip to Cali, my birthday off, and a Halloween trip to Six Flags all become distant memories.
Aaaaaahhhhhh life how she frowns on me.
Oh well off to the gym for a four mile gauntlet, and back lifting. What a powder keg of fun.
Take care.
