So life is getting more and more hectic as I go. I'm in the process of writing two research papers, a literary analysis, a style analysis, and of course, several articles. And then for some reason, the class that I fellow wanted us to meet with the students twice...so I had to spare several of my precious hours to meet with students. And then some of them are audacious enough to schedule times, I show up, and they don't! Just because the school gave me a couple hundred at the beginning of the semester to pay for their classes doesn't mean anyone can abuse me and waste my time!
And there is good but bad news. I almost have my application for BYU done. I have some preliminary work done, was interviewed by my Bishop, and now I have to figure out when to get an interview with President Jacobsen, and finish my essay. Then I just have to wait and see. But I think I'll get in no trouble.
Next semester I am currently registered for 17 credit hours, working as the campus press release writer 15 hours a week, and then donating an average of 2 hours a week for the writing fellows program. I think that I may just drop a class. I don't want to take 17 credits...but there's a long story behind this too.
Wow, don't you guys enjoy this? I'm just totally spilling the beans about everything, and wasting your time to help me vent, so sorry and thanks. :)
Anyway, I need another 15 credits to finish my associate's degree. However, mom said that if I actually get my degree, classes will be more expensive at BYU. So I don't know what to do. My original plan was to grab my associate as fast as I could, and then book it to BYU. However, money is a big thing right now, especially since I've been living in mom and dad's good graces...unemployed since last April! So I'm thinking I may see if I can just get my 15 credits somehow, and then transfere without the associate. Chances are I'd have to retake classes out there anyway...like I don't think my psychology class transfers. I don't know. It's just a big jumble in my head that I needed to get out. It's still just as confusing as to what I actually want to do with my life educationally.
Mom keeps reminding me that I am not on any real time table...that I don't have to graduate in 4 years if i don't want to. Which is smart so that I don't really have to go in debt. But at the same time, I just have this scary feeling that if I meet "mister right" before I graduate, I'll end up getting married and having kids...which screws up school. And I don't want to be one credit short of graduation like my mom was.
*sigh* Any comforting words from my trusted friends? Jeepers I really miss seeing our group everyday. It was great to have that safety net. Now I just have family, and a couple people who seem to really care about me, but I can't bring myself to depend on like I could you guys...
*hugs and love to everyone!

P.S. I know this is late, but how was Thanksgiving for ya'all?
