Today Dan sat down with me to help me study for the math portion of the Compass Test. Even though the test isnt "pass/fail" I just want to do really well so I dont have to take extra courses. I pray there are still available classes after I meet with the counselor. I am not going to worry about that because I am going to go to school no matter what! It is so awesome to see how happy Dan is for me. I know it will be hard with the both of us working and going to school... but sometimes you have to do a little extra work to get ahead.
I find myself getting depressed about still working the same kind of work I did when I was 18. I miss the professional job I had at the bank... I miss the days when I could go to Starbucks 3 times a week because I wanted to and i didnt have to worry about the budget. I could blame our tight budget on the economy... but in a way, that can be a cop-out. The thought of going to college has always scared me and as I was filling out the FAFSA form, i felt like giving up... but here I am... getting through... actually paying for an application fee; actually signing up for classes!! I am doing this all for my family and to secure my future. I wont take credit for this sudden realization that "school is cool" lol. I thank my coworker Ericka and a coworker's father for the encouragement.
On to 2011!!! Here is to the future... here is to leaving 2010 to the history books and burning some of those pages out :)
