I want to be a journalism student, and dye my hair fire-engine red.
I've decided that I'm going to go back to school. I'm not sure how yet, but the how will work itself out. I'm not sure when, exactly, but soon or sooner sounds good to me. It's just something I need to do - something I've been needing to do for some time now.
There are some crappy technical difficulties that stopped me the last time I tried to enroll in a university (all due to the fact that I don't have a high school diploma or equivalent, unless you count a fracking AA degree as equivalent, and universities don't) but I'm not going to let pesky details stop me this time. If I have to get a GED, I will. If I have to take foreign language classes, I will. I don't think I'll actually have to do either of these things. I suspect that, just like the first time I went to college, there is someone I need to convince to let me in, and all I have to do is find that person, and impress them with my awesomeness. Last time I had to take a bunch of tests too, but I'm good with tests.
I mean, it's not like I'm asking them to move the earth and the stars, just to honor the transfer degree that I earned, and forget about the yes/no check boxes on the application. I don't fit into a box, and neither does my educational experience. I am more than the sum of my parts.
Also, I'm torn between getting a degree that may help me someday do something I'd really love to do, or a degree that actually has a chance of making me money; English/Journalism vs. Business Management/Marketing. Oh internets, to whom I turn for all of my important life decisions, what should I do?
