... because I haven't been the greatest of friends as of late... but that will change, I promise. I was busy working insane hours to get my training at work over and done with. That included working one Saturday during the day, from midnight to 8 am on a Monday, from 7:30am to 3:30 pm on a Tuesday and from 3 pm to midnight on the Thursday. I also had to buy my text books and start school in there. Needless to say I have hardly texted anyone since Jan. 2.
I really enjoy working at the shelter, and I really enjoy working with the people that work there. It seems like a great place to work.
Jordan came out for a weekend and got a job out here!! He will be moving out by the beginning of May! It's on the downlow though because his work doesn't know yet. So today I went to an academic advisor to find out how to transfer to the U of A. It will cost me $115 to apply, and I have my application ready, I just have to round up the money and the application is sent in - and by June 15, I have to get my transcript in.
If I get accepted I will move to Edmonton by the fall. If I don't get accepted, I will stay here for another year and try again. Although as long as I keep my grades up, there is no reason I shouldn't get in. The lowest accepted mark is a C- and a GPA of 2.0. My lowest mark was a C+ last semester (gotta love astronomy) and I had a GPA of like 3.21.
I was pretty excited when I left the school today, I got my payment arrangements made for my spanish course, looked into transfering and things were looking up... and then I got stuck in the slushy snow in front of my house - blocking a back alley.... took me nearly 20 minutes of trying to go forward and reverse before getting out. I was going to run some errands, but decided against it because I didn't want to get stuck!!!
SO I guess there are drawbacks to having spring weather in the middle of winter... but the weather was amazing! I didn't have to wear a jacket or mittens, and I walked all the way across campus outside to get to my first class (instead of walking through the school) because it was so late! I was ontime or early for all of my classes today, which rarely happens!!
I've had more than enough time lately to think things through and figure stuff out and I am confident that I am making wise decisions. It's not like I am quitting or giving up, I am just transfering schools. I know I will have people telling me otherwise, but I am not going to listen to their comments, because it's my life! AND it will be way better in the long run! I will be able to finish school sooner, have more options, be closer to Jordan and be happier!! I will totally miss the girls at school and Andrea, but it's not like I am leaving the country, I will be an extra hour away. No big deal, just another reason for people to visit the City of Champions (even though their champions are really losers now...)
What's sad is that I have it figured out in my head that I have to justify why I am transfering to the world, when I don't. If it were some irrational move then yes, but this is just another step along the path I am already walking!

I don't think you need to justify changing schools. I think it actually makes a lot of sense! And you'd have to go to a university anywyas, wouldn't you, to do your PDP?
I'm SO glad he got the job, he's going to be so much closer to ME :D hehe
I wouldn't have to change schools. If I am in the top 40 applicants for the middle years program - I could stay here. Otherwise, I would have to transfer to the U of A.
Neither program is better than the other, so why not go to the U of A, have more options and be closer to him?!
