cerulean_sky• After talking to some people, looking at some schools and thinking about it, I've officially decided to withdraw from St. John's at the end of this semester. I've decided that it's not worth making myself suffer through half the program and making myself miserable just for the half that I like. So, I've filled out my withdrawal form, and I have to make a trek through all the administrative offices to get them to say that I don't have any outstanding balances or what have you, and then... I will officially not go to this school anymore.
• Since the part of the program that I like can pretty much be done in a Classics program, that's what I'm looking at. I'm looking at a bunch of schools in California (land of fair weather and mostly no snow) that are cheaper than St. John's and Lang. And have good Classics programs, of course. I might look into getting some sort of Creative Writing minor, but I'm not sure I want to focus on my writing in a college. I prefer to do that in specialized workshops around the country (which I swear, one day I will actually apply to them).
• Since it's too late to apply for the coming Fall semester anywhere, I'll be taking the next 6 months off at minimum. It's possible I could find a place to start for the 2012 Spring semester, but it's entirely possible that I will wait until the 2012 Fall semester to actually start somewhere, which would give me the most amount of time to work and make/save money. Since I have cats, I'd like to be able to live off of whatever campus I end up at, and saving money through a year would allow me to have a cushion of savings for rent somewhere.
• Still looking for a car. School officially ends on May 19, and I would really love to have a car by then. Or soon after then. (Found a couple good ones on Craigslist, and I am going to ovary up and call them tonight.)
• I am planning on selling most of my Japanese manga on eBay this summer. Because I have a bunch of it that has been sitting in boxes for years that I am never going to get back into or ever going to be able to read and I can make some extra $$$ off of it. If anyone has any experience with selling on eBay, please let me know. I am kind of clueless. I have an account, have registered as a seller and have hooked my Pay Pal up to it, but between now and when I sort through all my manga in a couple weeks and start taking pictures, I kind of need to know what I'm supposed to do? Idk. (Possibly I will sell some of my books to a used bookstore, too. Because why not. I have too many of them that I've never read and am probably never going to.)
• Have to decide which of my next... four tattoos I want to get once school ends. Fleur-de-lys tramp stamp, celtic pentacle on my hip, "Steal Your Heart" on my... ankle?, or "Keep Calm and Carry On" on my... wrist? If I felt like sticking a poll in here, I would. Maybe another time. Just tell me in comments if you have an opinion. :)
Whoops, class time.
