Ok well once again I haven't updated this thing in a long time. I guess I just either don't remember to update, or don't feel like anything too important is happening to talk about. I'll try to bring everyone up to speed about what's been going on lately. Well it's basically the same old stuff, school and work. I'm very close to getting my AA degree. In fact, I could already have my AA degree, but I'm going to stay at SFCC for two more semesters so thatI can meet the requirements to get into UF. That's been a really big thing for me lately, as anyone who knows me knows that UF is the only place I've ever wanted to go to school. Recently it's been brought to my attention that UF is a hard school to get into,and that they may not be interested in accepting a slacker like me into their fine institution of higher learning. Not exactly headline news, I guess it just kind of hurts when it's confirmed. Anyway, I did some digging around, and I found out that I still have a shot of being accepted as a history major rather than an english major. I went and talked with an advisor just to make sure I read the requirements correctly, and he said that I did. My new plan for UF is to take the CLAST this semester, which will make me eligible to graduate from SFCC. Next semester, I'll take the other 2 history courses that I need as pre req's, and then in the summer I'll apply to UF as a history major. The advisor said that it sounded like a good plan to him, so now all I have to do is put it into action. So hopefully summer '07 I'll officially be a gator. We'll see. As for work, well what else is new, it sucks. They're cutting all of the part time associate's hours to 20 per week. That's not good because I need 30 per week to pay my bills. I've heard they might be cutting them even further to 12 per week, which is totally unacceptable and would force me to get a new job. I'm already looking around for jobs, and I'm going to apply to be an after school counselor for the school board. It pays about the same as Lowe's, so I figure I can work at aftercare for 20 hours and Lowe's for 10. Hopefully it will all work out ok. If not, well I guess if it doesn't work out with UF I'll have to go to UCF or USF, and if it doesn't work out with Lowe's, I'll have to get another job somewhere else. Hopefully everything will just fall into place. The good thing about having cut hours is I have more free time. I'm enjoying that, and so far just by chance, I've been able to get enough hours to get by. Hopefully that trend will continue. Well anyway I guess that's really about all with me lately. Focusing on getting into UF and paying the bills. My short term goals for now are 1)get out of SFCC, 2)get into UF, 3)get out of UF and start the next chapter of my life. Hopefully it will work out. Well that's it so I'll go now. Just wanted to update.
