I made a plan for the next 8 months. It's not very specific or detailed, but I'm tired of this just "going with the flow" and with what everyone else says. Normally I have a plan, and for some reason that changed this summer. So here it is, something I can live with..for at least a while. 1. Work as much as I can till' I leave for NC. 2. Look up pell grants so I can get some more money. Sign up for 2 more classes [16 credits]. Also look up some travel agent stuff. 3. Get at least some kind of plan ready for Africa.[shots, flight tickets] 4 While I'm in NC, do whatever the hell I want and get my other ear pierced. 5. Come back, work my ass off until school starts. 6. Pay my tuition on August 15th. 7. Get settled into my classes and hopefully my new job. *crosses fingers* 8. Go to AFRICA!!! 9. Take my finals in Dec. Maybe sign up for my 2nd semester, haven't decided yet. 10. Work my ass off some more. 11. Then to ITALY!!!! No one understands. I know it's going to suck, and I'm going to hate myself and everyone else while I'm still working my ass off...but when I get out of here and go places the most people don't....or at least won't until they're old and have kids...wow...are they going to regret all those times that they wasted their money on pointless things. i want to see the world. And I want to see it now.
