despite having gone through an extensive and rigorous interview process with a seemingly great company for a job that would provide an absolutely acceptable income and mediocre satisfaction...i have decided that what i really want is to land a bartending gig and become a 28-year old full time college student.
ugh...why couldn't i have figured this out on june 8th (the first monday after the restaurant closed)? at least then the financial aid and application processes would be in full swing by now; possibly figured out, even! nope...i decided last week that i would take this situation and flip it on its ass. no job? shitty economy? fine, then...i'll just get my degree. unfortunately, since i waited till the last possible second to put the wheels in motion, i now have to toss the dice in a crapshoot that could ultimately ruin me!!
dramatic, i know. but one of three things will certainly happen within the next few weeks: i will pass on a job opportunity in hopes that i get the financial aid that i need AND get accepted into one of the four area schools that i applied for...i will take the job and school will once again be put on hold....or i will take the job only to quit a couple of weeks in - which i will feel like a complete asshole for - to start school because i just found out that the money is straight and i got in. dammit. i have got to start learning from the past. starting with this moral of the story: DON'T WAIT UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE ANYMORE, DOOFUS!!!!!
in one day, i decided that i did, in fact, want to go back to school, filled out the FAFSA, applied to four schools, started the "have your transcripts sent to the admissions department" process, and filled out three scholarship applications. that one day was last friday.
i am an idiot! or really awesome...depending on the outcome of this ridiculous forray! i guess i'll know more this time next week. so...until then...peace out, homies.
