Feb. 27th, 2008 12:10 pmI just got done with a transfer appointment and I am pissed off at myself for messing up. I didn't understand the course requirements and now I'm one class short of graduation. If I want to get the associates degree here (which was my plan) I'll have to take the summer course and graduation late and delay transferring to Temple.
Luckily the adviser told me I could transfer without getting the degree, something I hadn't really looked into. An associates degree would have satisfied all the core classes I'd have to take at Temple but it turns out there's only two core classes I haven't taken yet. So I could transfer and take those two classes at Temple then go into the hardcore English major stuff. I guess that's what I'll do. So all is not lost. But I'm still mad at myself for doing all that planning and messing it up anyway.
Housing is the next issue to deal with. I've had a few people tell me not to live on campus (one of them was this guy in a pizza place, but that's another story) because it's dangerous and I can commute and I can save money and blah blah blah. But I really want to move out. I've looked a bit into apartment listings and notices for wanted roommates. Money is still an issue, since I'll have to leave my current job and I don't know how soon I'll be able to get another one. I just really want to move into the city. And commuting will be a real hassle. People at my work are already thinking about the summer schedule and I have no idea what mine is going to be since I don't know where I'll be living at the time. It's rushing the whole thing along and I'm not too happy about it.
Right now I'm at school. My class was canceled and I have two hours before I have to be at work. I'll go into Media and spend an hour eating lunch. There's one coffee shop that's really comfortable and they have good food but I can't stand the people who work there. When I walk in they're usually in a group chatting and instead of coming up to the counter to help me they just stare. It always makes me feel like they're pissed off that they have to get me my drink.
