Dawn's Digression.
Wednesday, October 15, 2003
I met with my advisor yesterday. If that's what you would call her. That wasn't a lot of advisement. She gave me my degree plan, and told me what I should probably take next semester. She told me what classes "aren't too bad" and which ones are the harder ones. She did advise, though, that I take only two classes next semester to see how it goes and then bump up to 3 next Fall if Spring went well. I have a tendency to jump in feet first, but I suppose I will take her advice on this one. I haven't been to a university before, only the community colleges, and I have no idea what I'm getting myself in to.
I did hear back from the financial aid office, and I have been awarded enough in loans to pay for tuition, books, and even some living expenses (for me, that will be paying off high interest credit cards in favor of this lower interest loan). At least tuition will not be a factor. I was incredibly worried about that.
I think I'm getting laid off. Either that or I think I will be moved to another building. Moving to another building is not an option. I am already driving too far for what this job pays, and the other buildings are further. I just can't do it. My attitude at work has deteriorated badly. I'm not motivated to work, and I don't want to be here. I've known for a long time that we were going through another reorganization. This is the 4th one in 3 years. Even if I make it through this one, do I want to keep going through it every few months? The instability kills me. A~, the reorganization should be complete by mid-December, and it just isn't looking good for me. Unfortunately, I don't know that I will be able to find a job in my current field. Well, I mean a job that pays as much or more. Besides that, I just don't want to be in the office. I'm bored. I want to do something else. I suppose this is why I'm trying to finish up that darn degree, hunh? I think I'm going to check employment with the city, county, and school districts near me. Those can't go anywhere, can they?
