Meh:
You are so sweet Two. Thanks. Yeah I will do something.

Now I am looking at Paralegal because it was suggested to me. Makes me sad that it's basically just a secretary. Individual classes are pretty interesting though. In the end it would be better than nothing just for the h*ll of it. It's not a job I want though seems altogether heavy. Law is basically the world of power and punishment. Such a specific job.

sKePTiKal:
Law covers a lot of different areas G. There's contract law, patent law, real estate law... and it's often helpful, as often as it's dealing with crime & punishment. Could be more interesting than you might imagine from where you sit now. But ya know what?

You're the one that's going to have the skills & knowledge and job opportunities after graduating, so your decision is completely up to you. Ask yourself, what you drawn to? And why? Sit with that awhile and maybe investigate what the day to day experience is like.

Meh:
Yeah the paralegal looks useful and there are some fluffy electives like anthropology etc. so I could go with that if nothing else works out. 

So hot outside right now, hiding out indoors.


Metaphorically do I write a grocery list and go shopping or do I use what I already have in the pantry. After looking at BA programs oddly enough I think the Psychology program would be easiest for me to get into IF there is room. The English program scares me, it looks advanced I'm just not sure I can write THAT much. I wish I had more time to figure this out. The Communications BA looks like I could probably get into it too but the classes are so concentrated that I'm worried I might get bored. I want some variety, I want that BA, I like the real-world skills of the Paralegal program but then I'm going to be disappointed in myself if I don't make the BA thing happen.

My dream job would be working in a museum feh or related community art program nonsense job I think. There is even a master's degree for that locally. Don't even know what the full path is for that. I think it's too non-technical. I should just look at that direction too. I could always claim some sort of arts education plan. I think.

Man if only i could do it all.

Was looking for a flash drive now I am on a cleaning rampage. Mostly there are too many random papers.

Dang I should have gotten progressive lenses.

Thank goodness I have an advising appointment tomorrow. I need a rest and a crutch.

So this morning I've been looking at community colleges that offer BA degrees. I found one that is on-line and offers a BA in business. From first glance it looks kinda boring though.

Meh:
Making coffee.

There is an online school that I was interested in because it's a better quality school but it's on a Trimester system and it doesn't sync up with my current predicament. OH how I wished I had started this sooner. Kicking myself again.
* Must be in-state

Spoke with a different community college school advisor over phone today and learned that it's possible to start school and be on "school attendance status before declaring program path. There is a downside of this, I would still be required to do job search activities and if offered a job I would have to quit school. I've got an in person appointment tomorrow.

The phone advisor call I had today she really sounded like she wanted me to nail down a job type I'm assuming it just makes her job easier. Thing is I'm interested in how enjoyable the school process actually is the more I look at school websites the more I notice the differences in the caliber of their programs but also if I do end up doing something online some formats are way more organized and user friendly than others. I am thinking ABOUT all of this. Some schools look like they present their programs in a way that is more engaging. This is important to me. I know the school advisor I talked to with today doesn't care about that she is just doing her job. She is very knowledgeable though.

* They just want to know where I am going to end up.
*I'm thinking about how my next year is going to look and feel. Am I going to be happy or miserable in these classes.

I do hope I can get a good education out of this process not a crap degree. The community college business management BA degree I was looking at around 3 AM was on closer inspection a crap degree I think. No body would take it seriously. It's for managing a McDonalds.

Okay well I know what I don't want to do.

*** I think I need to discuss the option of self paying or grant funds whatever for the first quarter. Like my friend said she was worried this process is going to put her more into the hole with daycare. My unpreparedness might do the same to me. Timing is such a big freaking concern.

Meh:
* applied for admissions to a community college

* I know of 2 other coworkers that are going back to school also

* plan to get laptop fixed end of this month before warranty is gone, it overheats badly, like fire hazard hot
