Today I did not go to any of my classes. I have two simple ones that I just sit and soak in the information. Why did I not go? Oh because it was too nice of a day to be in windowless rooms so I was going to stay in my room and do work. Eh that did not happen either. I am ready to be done here at Oregon and go to ASU, but of course I need to do well in my courses.
I have a take home exam due Monday, I opted not to write an essay for Revolutionary America, mostly because the topic is a hard one for me. I could try to write it tomorrow while and work and then run to the dorms tomorrow, print it off and run to my other history course or something. I also have no clue how I did on my midterm in European History, I am not sure if he has handed them back yet or not.
I talked to my mom on-line, which is odd because she just checks e-mails and looks things up. She questioned me some more about if I was testing the waters for ASU or if I was definite about leaving Oregon. I told her a little of both, but I am leading towards going to ASU. I tried to tell her that I didn't know until coming here that the school and this kind of place is not for me. I cannot always expect for things to go as planned. She was worried about me trying to get a place on my own in AZ and not here. Either way I have to pay money. She said she was worried about credits transferring, but the only things I would be able to transfer would be my history courses. I don't have to take gen ed classes at ASU, because I got those all done at MCC.
I know I will not hear the end of it when I do move back home, but I cannot help it. I just need to be someplace that I will be happy. She asked me what my friends thought about it, I told her that the ones who are going back to their home schools, which is about all of them don't blame me. That they see how stressed and unhappy that I am. The ones who will be staying don't want me to go, but kind of understand as well. I tried to explain to her that this school is just not up my league. It's too liberal, I never thought I would say that, and I just am not happy with how things are done. My job at the library is fine, but really I rather be at the zoo.
I e-mailed both Amy and Jake that I will be there in the summer and more than likely be back like I use to be. Both were happy for that, I know they like me and having me at work. I think if I do get my usually annual pay raise it should be around $10 an hour, that is 4 dollars more than what I make at the library and I cannot work a lot of hours there. I get paid to sleep at the zoo.
The one thing I am not sure of is how I will be able to live in an apartment on my own. I mean the money aspect of it. I do not think my money from the zoo would be enough some months, though I could "try" to save up this summer and use it for rent, gas and food. LIke the important stuff. Not itunes, clothes, cds or anything else that I do not need for work and school. I have to figure out some kind of way to be better about my finances and not need my parents to help with bills or my bank accounts going negative all the time.
I am also thinking of minoring in Bio at ASU, but I am not sure how that will work. I really love working at the zoo and would like to do something in that. Though I am not sure how it will go. I guess taking some classes at MCC this summer might help. I know that I can take bio courses right away and not be stuck with chemistry before I can take anything else. ASU does not have an information up though on minoring in bio. I could try to double major if I can get through enough of the general bio requirements. I am not 100% sure what is going on.
