Which means I'll be gone for a while. Or at least inactive. Class officially starts in exactly a month. August 21st. Stuff doesn't look too hard, it's basically all music classes and a basic math class for my first semester, 14 hours total. Go to class. They told everyone that at orientation today at least 10 times. Good tip. I'll try to follow it. Hopefully I get the cheap dorms I applied for (I actually applied for like 5 of those centers.
Originally I had applied for the cheapest apartment I could find. Apparently they were suppose to get back to me within two weeks (I applied June 6), but I checked back and emailed them a month later, and they told me they had no vacancies, and I was number 135 on the waitlist for that apartment. Sad.
Money. So, I'm getting quite a bit of it, and my scholarships/loan for this year cover all but $2k-3k of... basically everything I have to pay for, minus books and other small things. Thankfully, there are still of a ton of scholarships I'm finding with scholarshipexperts' search engine. Any scholarships I find through there (like
THIS one you can sponsor me for; 20,000 DOLLARS! [vote please I know this is immature lol]) will be used to fill that 2k-3k gap, prepare for next year, and pay off the $5.5k federal loan I'm getting for this first year.
This year, I'm going to keep myself from anything that might excessively distract me. This includes the forum, sadly. It has taken quite a bit of time over the year I've been here. If... I can keep my urges under control over the course of the first month or so... I will stay on the forum. Otherwise, I will ask bosk to keep me from this place until December, winter break. In other words, I might be saying goodbye soon. I will make a second attempt during January and February to keep myself under control in that regard, given I cannot during the fall semester. If I cannot keep myself under control then, you'll hear me again in the summer.
This is not a goodbye, but I do wish you all luck.
