Personally speaking, the biggest problem I had with school was the assignments and essays constantly looming over my head. Not that I couldn't do them or that the theory was too much for my feeble brain (heh), just that the mental pressure was very much present and, as it turned out, simply too much. I imagine there would be less of that at a trade school... but then I don't even know if your issues with school were remotely similar to my own.
Glad you two are still infatuated :) But two years in Pueblo - that's gonna suck. Can't she drop out and get a job at the Pharmacy instead? (I jest, I jest.)
uh... airplanes. might pay more? might be less applicable to my life.
I never stress about assignments. That's a problem for me. I'm talented at "school" and can often pass with lovely grades by doing jack followed immediately by squat. It is the time demands that hinder me. I'm really REALLY exceptionally bad at handling that kinda stress (I deconstruct and end up doing things that are harmful to myself emotionally and physically. even when I know i'm doing just that... in fact, that makes it worse 'cause then I feel angry and disgusted with myself and that spirals into more destruction...). I got fed up with paying so much for school and getting so little value in return. I became rather bitter about it and I'm not sure if I can put my bitterness aside to concentrate on studying again.
I'd rather, if it is really too TOO terrible, find a job in Pueblo!
I was gonna suggest you get one of them light-sport aircrafts so aeronautical mechanics would be more applicable to your life AND you'd be able to get to and from Pueblo pretty fast! But then I looked them up (to find the English word for them; in Norwegian they translate to "microplanes" which just didn't sound right) and the pricing is... kinda prohibitive. Bummer. It was the idea of the century, I tell you what!
it is awesome to hear you talk about jen like that. :) you guys have been together for almost a year now, right? she is entirely awesome.
pueblo isn't that far - you'd probably see her for a whole weekend at a time. Might take you twice as long to drive to see her, but it won't be too bad once you get used to it.
Nine months, last week. and weekends will be booked if I take Julie's suggestion and get a part-time job for Jiffy Lube or Goodyear or something to try out the environment before I commit to a school again...
I think your family's right. Now is a great time to complete your education and getting involved in something mechanical sounds right up your alley. Don't worry about the distance thing. Pueblo isn't that far and you'll be able to still commit a good deal of time to one another.
