Good ole summer. Boring and hot as usual. I have never been a fan of summer. It is worse now. Ours friends got some Fireworks over last night I could not watch them all, I was so itchy. I do not even want to count how many bites I received just from watching them shoot off fireworks for a small amount of time.
I am taking an online course at the moment. Music Appreciation. I hate it, but i needed to take something. I will never take an online course again, i hope. Music appreciation would have been alright on campus, but online it is not as fun. As far as school goes, I am doing alright. I regret my first semester grades now that I have set out a path for myself. Not much I can do about them besides hope I receive straight a's from now on. I have decided to try and transfer to the University of Texas in Austin for the fall 2012 semester. Lucky me, it is extremely hard to get into. I am on the cusp of an acceptable GPA. Living in Austin would cost us a little more, but I would have no tuition to worry about. Another perk of my father passing away while on active duty. I wish it would last longer than until I am 26 though. It makes me feel worse for starting college later. Before finding out that detail i thought that i could have used it for half of undergrad and most of the law and librarian degree i want. It would have meant a lot less in loans. It is hard not to be mad at myself about that. Had I known, I might have gone back to school sooner. Although it was just recently that I kind of figured out what I would like to do with my life. That being attaining a law and librarian degree and hopefully getting a job as a law librarian at a larger law firm. I am sure that reference librarian at a law library or with a smaller firm would do as well, but a large firm would be my preference. For awhile I knew that I wanted to be a librarian. After looking at several librarian career paths, I found law librarianship. It is probably the most research heavy of the librarian professions and that is what I want to do. Research for other people basically. If I attend the University of Texas in Austin for undergrad, I will probably have a higher chance at getting into their law school. I can only hope. If i dont get in I will probably try to attend the University of Houston or something. only 35% of the students admitted to the law school are from out of state, I think i would rather fight for a spot in the 65% than the 35%. The more I think about the application process and my current stats, the more hopeless i feel. Hopefully it all pans out in the end.
I do have some news now that i think about it. Micheline will be starting school in the fall! pre-k with the local school district. It is supposed to be a really good program. Kind of scary to think about her being gone for so long during the day. 8:30 until 3:30 5 days a week seems like too long. Another downside: uniforms. It isnt so strict, basically just red, white, and blue polos and navy or khaki bottoms. Although I do not mind polos, I hate the only red, white, and navy rule. We also hate khaki, so micheline will only have navy bottoms. Of course micheline is on the small side and all the stuff in the cheaper stores are too big in their smallest size. she still fits into 2t stuff, so size 4 doesnt fit her so nicely, lol. I think we will stick with what we have already purchased and just go out and get a belt.
