Stress, stressssss, STRESSSSS
School relates rant/ramble, feel free to ignore.
OY. So I was talking to my cousin today about school and somehow we got to talking that here she took 5 classes each semester to graduate on time...she's one year older/ahead of me and I took 4 classes each semester last year (We both go to a community college and it's a 2 year college,we get our associates degree and then we have to transfer to another college for another 2 years to get our Bachelor's degree). So I got home and checked...one semester I have to take 6 classes and another one I have to take 5 classes. Now, I have the option of taking a few of the classes online but they are more expensive and my parents will only allow me to take 2 online classes.
So at the moment I have 6 classes picked. I have the option of dropping the class(es) before I pay for them for about 3-4 weeks or so. Well I told my mother about this and we actually didn't fight about it, though our voices raised a tad. I don't have enough money this semester to pay for 6 classes. Last semester when I had 3 regular classes and 1 web class I barely was able to cover my tuition. So now I'm kind of *HEAD DESKING* because this is EXACTLY why I need a job. And nobody is freaking hiring, UGH!
Not only do I need a job, I also need my license and my parents refuse to let me get my license without having a job because I need something to pay for the car insurance. One of my classes is at 8, and my dad gets home to use his car at 8:30 and it's a half hour drive to class so...with my 8 am class I wouldn't be able to take that class.
Another thing, I don't need to have my associates degree to transfer to the other college but if I join the Air Force (and I'm still very much considering this at this point), which I would do after this year of school, I want to have my associates degree even though it would only be for General studies.
To make this short, the main points:
Need:
* To take 6 classes one semester and 5 classes the next.
* Need license to be able to drive to school.
* Need job to be able to pay for both license and tuition.
* Need Pennsylvania budget to pass to see if I get a small grant (A grant I don't have to pay back so this a GOOD thing!)
* Need to figure out exactly what I want to do after this year of college. (Air Force or more school)
Good:
* Online classes which gives me more leeway with my classes.
* Only having classes on Tuesday/Thursdays!!
* If the Pennsylvania budget gets passes I get a small grant!
Bad:
* Being at school from 8am-3:30pm
* Not having license/car, so unsure about 8 am class.
* Not having enough money to take the 6 classes I NEED to take.
* The stress
So yeah. I'm just stressed and frustrated and confused. :/
