What we are and what we can become;

[tyrc]

I've mentioned it in less concise terms before, but I believe there are several states of life and existance, though their boundaries do flux between each other. I can't imagine they've not been expressed somewhere before, but I couldn't tell you where. I've defined them on my own, however

Have you ever considered that you might just over analyse everything? Life isn't about checks and balances, labels and pigeon-holing. Stop worrying about where you fit, what you are. It's ultimately not important. Life is just a rollercoaster. Dizzying highs and phenominal lows. It makes you feel a bit sick sometimes but it's one hell of a ride.

Cheer up. You've moved, you have friends. You're starting anew. Things are good.

That I can barely think right now is a pretty good indicator that I've barely thought in a long while. :>

I'm not saying I should fit any one of those states, but I much prefer the state of becoming and newness, is what I was getting at. I'm.. not trying to define myself otherwise. In fact, I'd rather undefine what I've had to define myself as, in my prior jobs.

I'm pretty cheery, just surprised at how bad things were in retrospect. :)

School debt is nowhere near as bad as other debt, so I think if you can do it without racking up other debt there is no reason why not to go to school any maybe even then, but you already know about my damn the torpedos approach to money.

I'm not sure how Washington works, but you should be considered independent from your parents, so their income will not lessen the loans from the government.

Yes, this is why it seems so appealing in comparison to working presently, or more..

I know it worked well in Vermont for a cousin, and these are pretty similar states. :)

I would prefer not to wait, as its usually a year, and that means we'll be in the process of moving at the time.

I /may/ join clubs, but I'm pretty self sufficent..!

And I know better than to buy their books. ;>

Just remember, any actual tuition/book costs.. well, I'm not paying. My grandparents are. So not to abuse their money, but many of the grants and other errata are superfluous to my needs.

I just need enough money to pay the rest of it, car and rent and food.

I've enough credits that I wouldn't start as a freshman, though I'll prolly take a number of classes at the low level, too.

I may end up connecting with people better here, but I don't tend to.

I'm not much good for advice in this area, as higher ed and I didn't really get along well, but I would like to state for the record that I miss a jyakkuru.

I think if I have the time to focus on it alone, I'm just fine with it. :>

I miss a glasshund as well! <3

That right there is why I don't work warehouse jobs anymore. Nothing resets your Maslow style hierarchy of needs right back to the bottom than hauling 50 lb boxes all day.

I was actually thinking of Maslow in specific, too, when thinking about this..
