I so have to get caught up

[luvxander]

I forgot that today was Thursday. As such, I forgot to spend today getting caught up on my shows. I'm two, no three, eps behind on Supernatural, muchly behind on Veronica Mars, massively behind on Smallville (like, a season and a half, I think), and my behindness on One Tree Hill resembles a nuclear (say it five times, really fast, Mr. Bush) explosion, or the after effects anyway.

Looks like tonight will be another night of no sleep at all.

Oh yeah, and I really need to spend tomorrow morning getting together the paperwork I need to find out if I can get financial aid to help me go back to school. What the HELL was I thinking that I could do this? I'm so not smart enough for college. I knew that when I was 18, what made me forget it? Plus, this being finals week and working with almost all college students? Not helping with the fear that I'm going to fail miserably and be laughed, or thrown, off campus.

And, to top it all off, I was told I should look into scholarships for students who return to school LATER IN LIFE!!!!! Do I look like I'm on my deathbed or something? I'm only 31. I'm also completely terrified because I am not smart!!

*cries*

Hi there!

Going back to college isn't as bad as you might think. I went back in January, and am currently waiting to get the last of my grades (I have one of them back already, just waiting for the other).

I'm 27, will be 28 in August. If you can get scholarships, do it. I went to one year of college right out of high school and dropped out. Took one class while I was living in California, and felt that it was "too much" at that point in time. Right now, it feels RIGHT to be back in school, and I'm considering going back full time in the fall and working part time. Yes, I'm insane.

I'm also your cousin. *waves*

Oh Em Gee!! How are you? Great to hear from you again.

I'm happy to see you're going back to school too. Makes me a bit less terrified, just a bit. LOL

Also, we have a couple of things in common on our To Do lists. I've become completely addicted and obsessive about Wicked: The Musical. I have the entire soundtrack and listen to it constantly. I can't wait until they come back down this way. A couple friends and I are already planning out road trip.

*hugs*

I'm really good, actually! Living with Mom and Dad again, but you gotta do what you gotta do. :)

Oh, and I got my other grade last night... I got A's in both my classes!

I'm not obsessed with Wicked!, but it is something that I want to see. If I can swing it, I want to go to Chicago in August to see it, as a birthday treat to myself. :)

I also added you to my friend's list, so you can actually see what has been going on in my life (rather than just the "comment to be added" post). Most of it is bitching about school and work. :)

*hugs*
