My school plan has fallen way out of whack. The original Tuition Advantage plan seems to have backfired, and instead i will be applying for (and according to its history, receiving) two UMASS transfer scholarships. One is for $3500 a semester and I do not know how much the other is for yet. I have to change my address to mass, so next year I can get in-state rates. The in-state does not transfer from BCC to the university like we thought. My one last class that I am missing, Discreet Mathematical Structures II, is still at large, though we seem to have pinpointed a teacher that can do a directed study, but we have yet to get in contact. Hopefully that will be resolved soon, and I can add that course to my workload.
The classes seem good. Very high level, very organized. The one professor I was worried about seems to be doing better with this course than the last one I took with her. I also seem to be a lot more dedicated this semester, and I do not know if it is because it is still the first week, or if its because things arent in as much chaos as they were last year, but im going to ride this wave as far in is i can take it.
Lori and I are going to have to talk soon, though i am not looking forward to it. Basically, i have gotten the impression, and had it confirmed, that Lori isnt sure what she wants to do regarding an apartment. She has this wonderful new job, and could, though probably with slight difficulty, afford to live on her own. Thats an appealing step, and I can respect that, although I dont think she wants to say anything. On the other hand, i am confident she trusts me, and if we found a place together it would benifit both of us, for we could utilize eachothers resources as far as furniture and taking care of the house and expenses. Hopefully I will get that conversation out of the way soon.
I had an interesting conversation with a friend last night. I got very angry and dissapointed, as well as flattered at the same time. I can't go into any detail, but for my own personal memory, im commenting on it.
On a final note, Virus and Ad scanning takes a freaking long time, but i have time, since its midnight madness. Ive found 4 viruses so far, and a shitload of ad stuff. I thought these programs were supposed to stop this shit from getting in? But no, it slips past, and i find it in a scan, which i never do. Oh well. Gotta make sure the comp is clean and healthy before I install my newly aquired Visual Studio. Ta Ta for now.
