DONE!!!
Free for 5 weeks! Yay! Now I can sew and build and all that stuff I've been putting off during the worst semester of my college career.
Another good note: My BF had a VERY promising interview this morning, and they are now doing the whole background check that means that they probably want to hire him! $10/hr (up from $8 in current Joe job) doing something he'll actually like that helps him toward his game design goals.
As for the whole college living and food thing... well I wouldn't really know about dorms since I've never lived in one. Instead, I get to live in an apartment where I can have all my snakes, but take the bus to classes which takes half an hour (10 min by car).
Food on and around my campus can be a challenge if you want to eat healthy. Not because there are no options but because the campus is in the middle of downtown Denver: expensive! Sure there are eats on the campus itself...but only the basic student fare of McDs, Taco Hell(err Bell), Subway and the like.
Since I go to school mostly to pay the rent and bills (grants and loans are my half of the income), keeping my financial aid is extremely important. So the killing myself studying for passing and good grades is so I can continue to eat and have a home.
There are times I almost wish I were living in a dorm with the assistance of parents paying tuition...but those are few and far between.
I'm just glad to be rid of chemistry!
