On my last post I mentioned something about some new developments. I think Rani may have mentioned them in her last post, but she left it up to me to tell you guys all about it. I thank her for that.

The thing is that I was offered a townhouse if I just continue paying the mortgage for the townhouse. I really think it would be great because one of my goals in life is to have a lot of real estate. But, I really do want to move to NY. It's become something that I have to do or I won't be happy. Everything is already planned for NY and things are rolling along fine... and then this. Boom! I mean, it's a good idea, but I think I have just decided that even if the person was serious... I'm not going to take it. I really do want NY to happen both for me AND for Rani. It would be great!

So, that's that. Short and sweet. Boom! Like that, decided.

Anyways, I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. The food over here was delicious, nothing was bad.

That'll be all for now.

Happy Thanksgiving! I hope everyone had a good one. I ate way too much. Then again most of us do. I was glad that I didn't have to work today. I was very thankful for that. I do have to work tomorrow though. I don't see why. Most of the people asked for the day off so won't be there and this is the first time in several years that they don't get the day after Thanksgiving off. The concert is tomorrow too. We will go straight on after I get off work and go by the bank.

It looks like I am going to have to get a loan after all. The college doesn't do payments apparently and wants to be paid in full. I had to apply for a loan. I haven't heard back from anything yet. I only have a month before I have to send the paperwork back to the school, so it better hurry up. I am just so disappointed with everything. I mean the college could just hold off a couple of weeks they'll see where they are gonna get there money. But, no, that would be helpful to me so they can't do that. Plus I keep having to send them stuff and postage isn't exactly cheap anymore. I guess I should be thankful I will eventually get this straightened and be getting an education. I will be.... but for now I just want to vent a little. Nothing wrong with that. We all need to do it sometimes.

As for New York. Blu had some news, a new opportunity, that may greatly affect our plans. It all depends. This next year should tell us where we will end up. I'll let her get into all of that.

Take care,

Some new developments have been happening and I'll update you guys on them later when I find out some more information. But, other than that... everything's good.

I would like to say that I hope each and everyone of you have a great and happy Thanksgiving with the ones you love. I'm spending it in Virginia with family. It's great.

Anyways, enjoy the day tomorrow. And for those of you who gobble down on Turkey tomorrow, enjoy that too.

So, it's been quite a while since I've written anything. But, it's just that I haven't really had much to talk about so, I've not written anything.

But, tonight I guess I have some news. First of all, I am so happy that I only have three weeks left of school, just about. I can't believe I've stuck by school for this long! I'm usually quick to go ahead and drop all my classes and even though I did drop one class, it was necessary. Don't ask, it's somewhat of a long and stupid story. But, I'm still enrolled in four classes and I'm doing really well in them and that's definitely what matters. At least I think so.

On other news, I have been doing so great in my classes. I had to do a speech last night and I had to another speech last week, but I don't know the grade that I got for that yet. I also had a speech test a week prior to last week and I got 99. i don't know if I had mentioned that before.

In my other classes I am also doing well. In religion, I got a 92 on my last exam, which I took this past Monday.

Anyways, that is all for now. Next week for Thanksgiving I will be in Virginia and I'll try to write. But, if I don't get to for any reason, I hope you all have a great Thanksgiving!

I finally was able to get an answer out of someone regarding how much I would have to pay in the beginning to the college before we could get signed up to transfer the GI Bill benefits. Well actually I didn't my father ended up calling the woman my advisor suggested we talk to to make sure the benefits covered my first semester. I'll have to pay the first payment, but I'd rather do that then the entire semester. Looks like I won't have to get a loan after all. At least not at this point. I shouldn't say I'll never have to get one, because you never really know what's going to happen.

I should hear something this week from my advisor regarding my classes and when I start them. Kinda nervous about them. I haven't been full-time in awhile and the most I've ever taken through a distance is one at a time and that was online. I am starting with print-based courses. SHe recommended that I start with online, but I want to try the print-based. Worst case scenario is that I have trouble, but then I have a year to finish the courses. I can't take the year though. I have to stay on track. We have a plan!

Looks like we are a little behind on it anyways. At least I am with the classes. I was already supposed to be doing classes right now. I also have to find another job when this one ends and I still don't really have a clue as to what that will be. I also have to hurry and learn to drive. It's going to start snowing soon. Someone at work offered to teach me, but I'm not getting my hopes up about that.

Anyways, things look like they are very clowly progressing, but any progress with this is good. Hopefully I have some more news soon. Sorry if this is getting boring, because I keep talking about the same thing : )

P.S. I get to see The Cranberries next week! yay. Plus it's Thanksgiving next week which means FOOD! : )

I am not sure what this next week will bring. I am enrolling in college, but I still don't have the benefits to cover anything. I won't until I get a letter stating that I'm enrolled. It seems like it will take a couple of weeks for the benefits to come through and as soon as I enroll they are going to want money. I have been told what the semester will cost me and I can tell you I don't have that much. I have avoided taking out a student loan this far, but I might have to break down and get one. Hopefully I will only have to pay maybe the first and maybe the second [payment before the benefits cut in. If I have to pay the entire semester.... loansville here I come.

I've been neglecting this blog and I truly am sorry. By the time I get home from work I don't really want to do anything, but relax which isn't very easy to do, so it takes most of my concentration. I got paid yesterday, which is good because I was starting to forget why I was going to work. I don't mind going to work or doing hard work, but standing for 8 hours is a little much for me.

Anyways, on the college front: I got the package from the college finally and sent that stuff back in after I filled it out. The only problem still is the benefits thing. I don't know what to do. I emailed yet another person to see if they have any new answers for me. They probably won't, but it was worth a try. I'll probably get an answer back from them tomorrow. It also doesn't look like I will be able to start classes until spring. I don't think I have time anymore for the rest of this year. I'd have like maybe 8 weeks if I could get started right away. It's possible, but with me filling all tired anf hurt after work I might not have the energy. Will see what this week brings with all that mess.

That's pretty much it. You see why I haven't written. Nothing real exciting. Just more ridiculousness regarding me trying to get back into college and not liking my job. It is what it is I suppose. I am looking forward to the 27th this month though. I get to go see the Cranberries in Milwaukee! Front Row Center! I really need it too.

As always, I'll write when there is some news or unless I can think of something to talk about that's pleasant and won't bore anybody to death.

Take care,

Yesterday before my speech class I checked my grade online for my speech test that I took last week. The professor posts the grades online the week after the test, usually before the next class. I was somewhat worried because the test had been a little bit more difficult than the first test. But, I was rather surprised to find out that I got a 99 on this test! Wow. I didn't even study, really. I honestly have not even read a word out of that book. I've only touched that book to take it to class and that's it. I'm so happy, though, I'm not even gonna lie.

Anyways, those are all the news I've got for now.

Until next time.

It's already Monday, super early in the morning. I'm kind of tired and I know I should probably go to sleep, but I thought I'd write a quick blog entry. I got class in the morning and after that I got a lot of stuff to do, including calling Chili's and asking about the status of my application.

I'm in bed right now but I'm writing from iPod Touch.

Ok, I'm going to try to get some sleep.

Good night, all.
