Three weeks overdue, but here it is.
So yes, reckoning time! I'm afraid I'll have to do this quick as I have to leave for work very very soon.
Yes, work. My funds from my last stint at Kroger ran out awhile ago and so as soon as my traveling was done, I applied to Kroger again and they put me to work not half an hour after I took the drug test, and have been working overtime, no less, even on the first day. So I've been busy there.
MOAR NEWS I also left Westwood. The problems I had with it were lengthy and too involved to go into detail at the moment before I go, but the last straw was finding out that I had been misled by its people in admissions and it is not a full college but only a technical school. Its credits are nontransferable anywhere, nor can they count toward graduate school of any sort. I left Westwood and have been looking at my options.
t
I want to graduate first and foremost still, so I am returning to what I am closest to finishing, as well as what I have decided is my greatest talent far above all other abilities I possess, and that is English. Also sensibly, returning to where I hold the greatest sum of credits allows me to be finished all that much sooner as well. With that in mind, I'm returning to Marietta College, the school I attended for the longest period. While it is also the school with the best dorms and food I've attended, it's also the most expensive. With that in mind, I looked into both part-time attendance for an associate's degree as well as full-time attendence for a bachelor's, as mostly I am looking for a degree that I can use to get my foot in the door of any available job, whatever it is. From a visit to Marietta College and a thorough degree audit, it turns out that part-time attendence for an AALA will take approximately the same time as a full BA in English to be completed, so that is my route. I need to meet with the English advisor to discuss scheduling and I need to put my financial aid in order, and then everything will be finalized. I'll have a few general requirement classes and high level English courses, and any gaps in achieving minimum hours will be filled with business courses as I take up a minor in business management. Business is not what I would consider my forte, but it would expand my options for possible careers considerably. My history minor was closed to finished as well before I left MC, so perhaps I can finish that also. Finally, I may qualify for a Japanese language minor already, so that could be a degree with three minors complete in 2 years' time.
Another perk of returning to MC is that I don't have to go through admissions at all, and I have no immediate deadline, so I can get this figured ou at my own pace.
And I'm out of time. I'll have to write more later, but this should cover all the major news that's happened of late. I hope everyone is doing well. ♥
