[mood : impatient]

Looks like my lurkitis has had another flare-up - sorry about that!

Well, it’s finally begun. On Friday, my application for Baker College Online was sent out along with my financial aid paperwork and my transcript request form. But, as usual, waiting and my family mix about as well as oil and water.

Classes start in June and then, if everything goes right, I could have my associates degree in 9 - 11 months or less, depending on my load and transferred credits. Additionally, if everything goes right, we could have our new machine by this time next month. But in the meantime, patience is not my virtue.

Thank God for Super Metroid and Legend of Dragoon. Not sure what I’m going to do when I finally beat them. lol Pray for some money so once I have my new machine I can get into WoW? Eh, maybe not. Last time I had a new video game (EverQuest) overlapping college, I started failing classes left and right. I just kind of tuned into EQ and tuned out of homework - can’t afford to do that one again. Not only that, but I doubt we can afford subscription fees.

No, I think I need to stick to offline platform games until I’m safely through. I don’t like it, but it’s the truth. Last month we finally got in G4/Tech TV and I’ve been watching it alot. They went over the current MMOs and I came away feeling awful. I really miss EQ and I want in to WoW badly. =( Damnit.

In the meantime, the whole house is down. Mom like her job, let me assure you. It’s her managers and the fact they won’t give her breaks that’s bothering her. That and she found out that employment for the degree she wanted to go for is almost nil here. Of course - bills are still eating us alive. But we’re making ends meet - somehow. It’s a squeaker, let me tell you. I keep praying that Steve and Cathy will continue to be patient with us until we can get up enough money to pay them for that month we missed, thanks to the car and my operation.

I think we’re going to be driven out of Michigan - to be completely honest with you. And now, I think it’s time to return to Metroid for the sake of my sanity.
