i think i’m going to go back to school for journalism. i’d like to go into computer programming but that would mean having to take a grade twelve math to get in and then more maths while actually in the program. it’s not so much that i don’t think i could do it; i could, it would just mean a lot more work than i’m willing to put in. hmm, but then i wonder if maybe i should push myself. i also know me and math just don’t get along. i have never once had an epiphany moment in math where i suddenly got it. even if i did, as soon as i moved into the next step, my new found realizations were shown to be false.

the big hurdle with journalism is deadlines. i am not a timely person. hopefully, by being in a work situation that forces the exact opposite of what i am, i might change my ways . . . or get fired.  i don’t want that one flaw to stop me from doing something i think i’d be really good at.

so my plan is to apply to college programs for september and see how that pans out. there’s a lot of work involved with just applying, like getting my transcripts and sending them out to the right places and all the research i have to do to see which programs i want to apply to.  also, there’s the whole dilemma of what i apply as: mature student, transfer, or high school? depending on that, i have to send different things to different people and/or take classes/tests to see if i can get in/get credit etc.

i have about a month before the deadline = a month to get my shit together and contact places to get the facts straight. here’s to my future . . . ?
