I'm going to take this year to finish off my Associates. I'm even gonna get a math tutor to get me up to par with my math if need be. Going to take 12 credits this summer, 11 next summer, 18 this fall and 19 next spring. Graduate, and finish the degree. Now school here, I could do, but I'm sick of the pollution, and everyone in my family smoking. I'm sick of my dad being a damn alcoholic. I need to leave. I found a school in Orlando that's actually almost 3k cheaper a semester than here at University of Illinois Chicago. I plan on getting a 4.0 and what not in the college im going to now. I will refuse any lower. Then any job I take they gotta pay me around $17 an hour. That's 22k a year if I work 32 hours a week. Once that's done with I can move on out to florida, find a small job and apartment, establish my residency and after 6 months I can start going to University of Central Florida: Orlando. Its only gonna be like 6.5k a year instead of almost 9 for the same offers that UiC has. I just have to plan a schedule and get into a dorm apartment on campus. That's the best, free utils, free internet, all I gotta pay for is a cellphone and food. Big deal, so I put $150 away every week for fun and food. Also my credit will get established over the next two years, and when I'm done with my Bachelors I can expect to start making $30-35 an hour (48-52k a year). Also down there I can do alot of the stuff I cant do up here, like there's so many beaches there, I could go fishing, ride my bike (hopefully not getting rammed by the horrible florida drivers), get away from all the Chicago polution. Get away from all the crap up here. I can also be with my darling and show her that my love is just right around the corner. I'm going to find happiness there that I could only dream of. Yeah its gonna bust my ass ,but I'd have to bust my ass here and pay more money for the same degree and classes without having her at my side. What do you think is the only possible outcome? One way ticket to paradise! LOL Also the Salvador Dali exibit is down close to Kissimmee too, not that close but close 'nuff. also the school will give me a bus pas for like $3 a semester that's pretty cool. I'm not happy here, I cant' take it. The only things holding me together are a couple of my friends and my love for Marionne. I'm not lonely when she tells me she loves me. I'm not so selfish that I have to have love right at my doorstep, right around th ecorner. I'd love it a lot, but I love her more and I'm willing to take the time; I posess the constitution to go as far as needed to live, be happy, and love her. I will have a good life, I'm not letting anything or anyone get in the way with it. *nods and gives an anime peace sign*
