apocalypsosOne of the things on my list of things I want to see about getting done and out of the way is ... well, college. So I just filled out information for the University of Phoenix to contact me back.
Of course, the big problem is ... well, what ISN'T the big problem? With my job, online classes are the only possible way I could do college again. Even if I did get another job, doing it online would probably be a better option than being in a classroom, especially considering what three years of college did to me. I wasn't ready for college, I said as much, and I still "had to go or you'll never go." In my first year I got a C, a D, and two Fs when I'd never before gotten anything lower than a B-. The next two years weren't any better.
So I don't even know how many credits really counted by the end, or remember much of what I learned (I block a lot of my college years for purely emotional reasons), and thanks to my ridiculous excuse of a credit rating and my inability to pay back any bill not keeping me fed, clothed and housed, there's no way I'll be able to afford classes unless they're giving away an education for free now. I think I recall work saying something about paying for college classes and if they do this might qualify, but then again God only knows if the plant's even going to be open in a year.
But at least I'm asking about it, I guess. Can't hurt, except when I see how much it would cost and remember how much fun it is scrimping just to keep myself fed.
*sigh*
