Omygoodness, so, ok. I decided that I would drop one of my classes which is ok because I was taking five of them. So, it's fine. I dropped accounting which is one of the ones that I have to take over since I didn't withdraw from that one a couple of semesters ago and got an F. That dropped my GPA from a 4.0 to... well, to really, really low. But, it's ok. I decided to drop it because I had been absent too many times and when I emailed my professor to ask him if he was going to drop me from the class, even though he said he wouldn't, he mentioned that my grade was at jeopardy being that I had missed out of 8 weeks of classes and equivalent of 3 weeks. So, I dropped it because I don't want to not be able to take the class over in case I do really bad on this one. Sometimes schools have a certain number of times that you can take a class over for a better grade or something. So, that's that.

I also didn't go to class this morning because... well, because I woke up about an hour ago. I was up on the phone really, really late and well, I can't do that anymore. Lol. But, other than that school is good.

I was talking to Rani the other day on Skype for like nine hours (I know, nine hours!!!) and I finally decided that I would take a certificate before working on my associates and bachelor's and whatever since with the certificate I could get a good job in New York sooner. If I would've just worked on my associates there's just a broad amount of jobs that I could get so I just decided to get a certificate and I would work on my associates once I'm in New York. Plus, this way, since the certificate takes less time to complete and I wouldn't be doing my associates 'til New York, I'll be able to move to New York sooner (2011).

Anyways, I was undecided between Paralegal and Office Support Specialist (to work as an Administrative Assistant) but I did some research and decided on Office Support Specialist being that there's just more job opportunities for that in New York. Even though Paralegals get paid much more, there are more opportunities to get a job as an Administrative Assistant in New York. Not only that, being bilingual really helps and you get paid more for being bilingual. So, that's what I decided.

So, that's that. I hope you all are having an awesome Monday.

Be well.
