One month and counting
So as of right now I have one month left til the end of another semester and I have yet to register for classes due to finances. My aunt is still looking for resources for me and gave me a couple of numbers to call for help and I have. So far I have got a number for another loan company that could possibly help me with an educational loan if and only if I have a credit worthy person. Also my adviser told me that if I drop my English minor completely and just go for the classes I need and commute it would cut my finances in half. I would love to do that but I do not drive, again something else blocking me, and I would have to stay on campus any way. So then she told me their is another way that I could gain a scholarship is if I again drop my English courses but gain a new course and try for a certificate in campaign conflict. She said they usually have a 1000 dollar scholarship and I would have to do an internship in the spring semester under the new program and I could still take the last Spanish class that I have in the summer or I could push that all the way til the fall semester and finish out my English minor. So I would thus end up with a minor in English and History a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Political Science and a certificate in Campaign Conflict. Well I would say if life was that good I would go for it but I just want to graduate I really don't care at this point how I get it, I just want my degree. I have also been filling out more scholarships for this semester but that is really hard to find more money in the last stretch of the semester but you never know what happens til the fat lady sings.
But on a lighter note, school is going well I have my last Charla with my Spanish teacher next week and then its homeward bound to the final on both the listening and written. I am really nervous on the listening test because no matter how hard I try I always seem to miss key points on how I am supposed to respond. But the only thing I can do now is listen to as much Spanish as possible write down what they are saying, or possibly listen to the Spanish channel. Either way I need to put more confidence in my ability to listen to what the question is being asked and answer accordingly. So we will have to see when the final comes how well I will do. On the good side my participation as well as my Quia online is pretty good so I am definitely confident that I will pass this class with a solid B grade. As for my history class, that remains to be determined and relies heavily on the final and the paper so that class is up in the air, either way if I do not pass the class I will not receive a minor for the course. In my opinion that would suck because I would have wasted over 300 dollars for this course which could have went to pay off my tuition so I guess I really don't have a choice but to pass this class.
Life at home is going okay, although my aunt physically is not well enough to go back to work. I worry about her every year because her body is literally giving out on her right from under her and there is nothing that I can do to help her. This makes me worry that I will face the same physical struggles if I do not change my weight right now. Hopefully in the winter I will push myself to workout twice a day. Trying to do it in school is the worse thing ever especially when you go to college physically out of shape from home. I guess I will have to do my own blog keeping my journal for weight loss and see my progress. I think it works better when you see how you progress either through a video or written journal. But I guess I will see this winter if that will help. Til then I'll save the rest for later.
