conflict N

My throat hurts, the last couple of days I've been under the horrible spell that is a new string of vicious and highly contagious cold. It came apon me right after my shift on saturday, which is life's little slap in the face, seeing as Sunday was the first Sunday off I had in about three judas fucking priest months. The result of the virus three days later is a weaker, more-disorientated me weiging 4 pounds less, which is quite frightening seeing as I didn't really have the weight to loose =(.

In other, more special news, I took a tour of PSU yesterday [monday] despite my weakened state. It was very exciting. I have a lot of info, and an application. Today if I have enough time inbetween the stupid yoga paper, poetry assessments, stained glass creating, FAFSA filling-out, English portfolio emerging, history final essay/question beginning look-over, and other things, I might apply. It's a $50 application fee but what is that in the extension of my education? The only thing I'm worried about is how I am gonna afford being a full-time student. I have to be a full-time student to get insurance, and plus I like being a student so always take as many clases as I believe I can handle. I live in Washington yet the school is in Oregon, they have the 'border-extension' or whatever where part time student don't pay out of state tuition, or I can take half my classes at clark and half at PSU but I don't think they're going to offer any of my classes at Clark. Speaking of which, unlike the other five semester where I was ready and waiting with my classes all picked just waiting for my access date...I can't think of any classes I want to take. I only need 7 more credits which is theoretically 2 classes, and I have all of my requirements almost done. Basically just general electives need to be filled up. And I don't want daily classes like I've been taking. I'm tired of going through a tank of gas every fucking 5/6 days. But they don't offer, oh let's say Latin, or ancient literature, or stuff like that. Granted there are still some interesting classes left to take, but as mentioned before they are either daily classes, too early, or in conflict with my work schedule.

Yes I can't explain how excited I am about PSU, and actually see a life goal begin to come into place. I should check and see if they have a list of classes available. I want to major in English, and then see if I can "minor" in the TESL certificate-which is Teaching English as a Second Language. It would be fun to live if not in a dorm, then an apartment near the school. The tour showed me just how much goes on every day free for students. Movies nights and theatre/plays, there is a gaming room and a freakin' bowling alley, pool, a big hot-spot cafe, and there are about 280 different groups formed. They have weekend excursions of river-rafting, snowboarding, hiking, and you can become a volunteer and eventually get paid. How awesome is that?!
