I'm a SUNDEVIL.... again!

Alright, so I'm in. I finally got allowed to register for classes and so here I go once more. I must say, I'm a little excited, but I'm also a bit nervous. Nervous mainly for the fact that well, the military needs to buy my plane ticket and I wanted to leave in 10 days from now. Haha, so once again, here I go with options. But this time either way the results are somewhat the same.

I will rush the military to get the tickets and what not squared away, hopefully it will get done quickly. So either I go and make it in time to start class on the 14th, or I get what I can from the military and fly out when they can send me. The latter can cause for me to take a semester off from school. But I'm not sure that's exactly a BAD thing right now. In the past 15 months I managed to earn about 53 credit hours. That's in basically 3 semesters. I was working my TAIL OFF!! I think I deserve it ;)

So there you go. Either way I'm headed home. It's whether or not I make it in time for school that is the only thing I'm waiting to see about.

Deadlines

Gosh darn school! It's so ridiculous. I finally think I got something going and guess what, it takes 5 months to get a transcript from UMUC to Arizona. Now that's just bull if you ask me! So what do I do? I told my boss I wasn't accepted yet and didn't want to give my job up just yet. But I can't make him not offer anyone the job and then I up and disappear on Jan 8 because I found out Jan 7 I could actually go. I hate school; actually I hate UMUC and I hate transferring.

So conclusions time: I need to know by next Friday if I've gotten accepted or not. That plays into two scenarios...

If I've gotten word that I've been accepted by then and I can enroll into the classes I need then Jan 8th-ish I will be heading out.

If I've been accepted by then but all the classes I need are full and I can't get into them I stay here.

If I haven't gotten accepted by then I will commit to staying here a while longer. Possibly until the fall semester.

It seems my plans are always changing, but it sure would help if people would just cooperate and get things done.

Finally Some Decisions

So I've finally had to make some decisions and they are made. I am going to tell my boss that I am leaving today. I know he has less than a month to find someone, and we've got holidays all throughout the month, but oh well, he'll be ok.

My father is having to do some things with work and while I'll feel bad for leaving my family at this time, I sort of have to. I need to get on with the school and all that other crap. So now I'm tryin gto get a car loan and apparently I don't have enough credit on my own although I've been building it up over the last year. My parents aren't sure if they CAN co-sign with me. I could probably buy a car with the financial aid money I'm going to get, but I don't want to. I want to have that money as a back up just in case it takes longer to get a good job than I would like. So we'll see.

Jan 8th is when I want to be out of here by. 14 is when classes start and I figure I may want to meet up with an advisor before the start. Also allows a bit of time before class to get a car and look for a job and apartment. Crazy things to get done, but Jan 4 will be my last day here at this job. :( I really like this job. CRAP, I should apply for some jobs. Hmm, I'll do that today.

I'm a bit excited, nervous, and at the same time a little scared :)
