*Sigh*
I need to quit it with this whole being ambitious thing, it's going to put me more in the poor house than I already am.
Ever since I decided I definitely wanted to be a teacher, that meant Grad school, and more debt. Lovely. Now that I've decided I want to get some classes done outside of whichever Grad school I get into, it means spending more money now, out of pocket instead of the loans I'll have when doing Grad school, which is good in a way, but not good too, because I don't have a lot of, or hell, ANY extra money, but I know in the long run it will be good. It's just the whole coming up with the $500-$1,000 dollars I'll need to take those online or winter or summer classes at HVCC or ACC before next fall.
But as long as I do get more hours this semester from Macy's, hopefully I should have enough money to cover if I want to take a winter class, and then hopefully I'll be working over break, which would pay back my parents if I need to borrow some from them, and give me gas money, money for my phone, and anything else I need money for, like maybe food ;p.
I just have to keep reminding myself that taking these prerequisites at HVCC or ACC will be a LOT cheaper than taking them at Sage *or wherever I end up going* and that it may mean finishing in two years rather than more than that. Finishing quicker alone is enough to make the winter or online or summer class(es) worth it.
So another thing to add to my list of things for me to worry about in the next month or so. Yay. Hopefully it will all work out. I'm trying to stay positive about everything. Easier said than done.
But I have been mapping out next semester and as much as I can about Grad school while I sit in my classes during the day. I know, not exactly what I'm supposed to be doing, but at least it's somewhat productive. I still pay attention, so I don't see the harm. I'm just really hoping that if I get one class out of the way at Brockport, then one, maybe two more classes before I start at Sage or wherever, then I'd have almost a full semester done before I even get there, which would rock.
Plus I'm trying to figure out how I'm going to finish up my Music Minor since the college is stupid. But I'm going to talk to Professor Sarrazin tomorrow, and see if there aren't any of the History classes I need if I can do Independent Study, and she likes me, so hopefully she'll help me out.
Okay, I think it's dinnertime, and I've babbled enough for now.
