the best revenge is massive success.
Dec. 12th, 2011 09:22 pmThing I learned today: with the way that things are going for me, I will be finishing my broadcast degree in Fall 2012.
Here's what my advisers have told me:
I have 9 more non-major upper level elective hours to get, which I could probably fill with my art/film stuff,
I can totally go back to my community college and do Core Complete, which would guarantee that I'd only have to take ONE math class,
I can talk to one of the deans about switching my foreign language requirements up, since the last time I took a Spanish class was in summer '06 and Lord knows I am so not ready to jump into Spanish III after that long of a break.
I'm kind of excited about this, but also nervous because then I have all my film stuff! And I want to try to pay for that on my own except I have like, no savings right now and even though my dad’s been all "Mom and I will help you with your school", I know that it's been, uh, forever since I've started college and the two and a half years before I transferred here and that’s been a lot of money per semester, even if this is a state school. So I don't want to financially burden them, but at the same time... it's not a lot of money that I'm making at The Job. And I don't know how my schedule would look if I take on a broadcast job (or even if I could, considering the market and I want to do tech and production, not reporting so there’s that), so... it's a lot of stuff to consider.
But at least I will have one degree by the time I'm 30. At least now I have a possible graduation date. That's something to be proud of!
Unrelated things!
Finally, something I need to remind myself of: I value my friends' opinions, but I really need to stop letting their views color my own so much.
Now I need to finish my resume for class.

an argument I wish they'd actually had on Glee.
Tip or Die. Note the $10 in the Biggie cup.
I know for sure that I've shared this video on Tumblr, but I can't remember if I have over here. At any rate: Corgi reacts to puppy butt. Related: a Corgi in a snow tunnel.

Picard says "Make it snow." You know how everyone who watches Doctor Who has their first Doctor? As far as Star Trek goes for me, Picard was my first captain.
