school bitch
So since it is time to agonize and complain, it is also time to post in my lj. The two seem to nicely go hand in hand.
So I don't know what to do about school, my original plan was to transfer to UCD for winter '10 but due to the budget changes they are no longer accepting transfer students for winter '10. Leaving me with the option of staying at a community college for another year, which i would rather not, or transfer to Sac State in fall '09. The question is, is it better to go to a real college sooner, and perhaps graduate sooner, or a better college latter, and maybe not graduate for 800 years. The hardest part is that I'm not convinced that going to someplace like UCD will actually be that much better then going to CSUS.
I think the real problem is that I'm just bad at making decisions, and even worse at sticking to them once I do.
I feel like the chance to go someplace like UCD isn't something I should turn down, but I'm worried that it won't really be that much better since I will be lost among a huge class of other overachievers. Where at least at Sac State I can stand out in smaller classes.
The other thing is the amount I have to work, right now there is no way I can work less then full time, in which case it is hard for me to even try to plan a schedule, nevermind go to school around work. So in that sense staying at the community college for awhile might be good since I can finish up a couple more things in a place that is much more conducive to full time workers. But then it just feels like I'm drawing out the decision so I don't need to make it now. Also I should mention that I fully plan on going to grad school to either teach or be involved in some sort of policy. So in that sense maybe UCD is way better to help me get into Phd programs.
