I got more information on the University of Anchorage Alaska again. I want to go there so badly. It's so beautiful. And it's far. Far away from everything I hate. No one would know me up there, and I could just be myself and do my own thing. But it's so expensive. I could never afford it because Ihave to pay for it on my own. They have a paramedics program, to get your AAS in, but, I really need a BA in something to get a better starting salary. I would probably major in Medical Technology. However, if I get onto a station once I graduate high school (since I'll be a certified EMT-B by then), I'll have a job. And they have to put me through training, so they'll send me to college full ride. I desperately need that full ride. But, I doubt they'd send me to UAA, so I have to settle with Southern Ill U. Which..doesn't have the best reputation. Sure it's a good school, but it's a huge party school in IL, and ..it's just not where I want to go. But it's in state. So it's around a few thousand per semester or something, I don't remember anymore, but I'm sure the fire station would pay for that, and not UAA. So I'd go to SIU and major in Fire Science, then, on my own, go to UAA and get my AAS in Paramedical Technology, which means I'd make even more money as a Fire/Paramedic than I would a Fire/EMT-B..so...yeah...but..I dunno. Paramedics save lives, EMTs save Paramedics. Gotta be in the field to understand that..
For admissions, I need a 2.5, though, they accept people with 2.00-2.49 under probation..I don't know what that means, but I'd probably be monitered for grade slippage or something like that. Plus ACT or SAT scores, and my school transcript. That's all I need to get into it. I think I'll apply, just to see if I can get in when the time comes, you know?
As the week comes to an end, so does my life. My parents will be home on Monday. And I don't want to see them. Or look at them. Or hear them. Or be in the same house as them. ::sigh:: I don't even want to talk about it.
I haven't been getting much sleep lately again. It's only 9:30 and I am exhausted. I almost fell asleep in some of my classes. Not good. I can't afford to do that now. I'm gonna stop now, I've got nothing positve to type out anyways.
Mandy, did you get my letters yet?
