TODAY'S MILLION DOLLAR QUESTION.
I only need two more classes to graduate. I had originally planned on taking four classes next semester because (a.) I'm on scholarship and have to be full time to get the money and (b.) I get quite a bit of money from the government when I go full time (because of the GI Bill). But now I've pretty much decided to take just the two classes because (a.) I've hit a financial snag since the marital dissolution and need to work a LOT more than the two measly days I've been working and (b.) I can't stand the thought of taking four classes when I only need two. So I am going to take Chinese because I need 3 more hours of a language and a political science class that I have wanted to take since I transferred to UofL. I had signed up to do an internship but now with the work situation, that is not looking like a possibility. I'm pretty bummed about that because I was looking forward to it, but I know I won't have the time to devote to it. In the end it probably would have been better to tough it out and have my tuition paid for and my tax-free GI Bill payments coming in, but I can't even think in the long-term right now. I actually thought I would finish my stupid degree without any snafus, but life obviously had different ideas about that. Oh to be right out of high school again, full of youthful vigor and naivete. Would I have done it any differently? Eh, probably not.
