my BA's around the corner
Today's been such a....day of realization. Time flies, man. I remember being a college sophomore suffering from depression and a very bad gpa. My gpa is still crap, granted...but it's up by two points! I have a 2.34 now and I am so proud of myself because if I keep getting straight A's like I did this past summer, I will be able to get Bright Futures! -- lol, ironic, how I'll be done with school probably before that ever happens.
But that also means that my gpa might be back at a solid 3.0 by the time I finish and that will be....a stupendous finish to my life in uni. I can't even believe it. I'm writing this with a smile on my face....I'm going to have a Bachelor's Degree in English in a year or so. It's fucking exhilarating.
So today I went to campus to fix a problem on my laptop, so to speak. I couldn't sign on to the school's website -- and that's a big problem because I couldn't enroll in classes, much less read my email. So I went with Pookie and we did more than fix the internet problem! I saw my lovely adviser (a former professor of mine) and she was just the biggest sweetheart and she helped me select my classes and got me back on track. Turns out I can't enroll into classes just yet -- open enrollment starts in August! -- but I did select my classes online so when the time comes, I will simply click and boom. I'll be registered for fall. She also helped me with some hold I had; something about an undecided major which is wack because I had formally decided my major during sophomore year. But I handed in the paper there, she signed it and boom -- problem solved.
So now, all I have to do is apply for financial aid -- I have none, apparently -- and hopefully, it'll be accepted before registration is open. I currently have four classes on the same day! But if I figure out this French thing that I'm going to do, it won't be such a stuffy schedule. I don't mind it but I do want to work and make my own money. Everything's coming together slowly and I'm realizing how much I've changed. I hope to find a job that works with my schedule. I'm so excited right now but at the same humble. A lot of things could have gone wrong and I'm thankful for the second chances that I get.
I'm off to help my mom with dinner before I sit back down and apply to FASFA. And then it's off to pick up Pookie from his job and then...smooth sailing for now.
