Damnit, Woot!... and school stuff.

[meitantei_cj]

They're having a woot off and I have NO MONEY. Seriously none at this point: Mom needed to borrow the $200 I was holding for the bed until tomorrow, to pay the cable bill. (She's putting the money back tomorrow, of course.) I'd kept telling Craig I had no money, but knowing I had the extra $200 in the other checking account, but now even that's gone. And of course Woot goes ahead and does their thing. Sob. And I have to dump $200 into the credit card because another payment for the Cricut should be coming out next week, I believe, and as of right now I'm over the limit, and I need to get UNDER the limit before my next due date.

ANYWAY. Freaking money. Mega Millions FTW! -_-;

Worked out my schedule where I can both work and attend school full-time. Craig isn't going to like it, though, because Beginning Drawing had to be moved to Saturday mornings, 9:15-12:45. I can get to the house after that if I take the bus (wouldn't get up there until 5 something, though), but most often, I'm going to end up staying here each weekend. For three months. He is NOT going to like that. I think it'll be a good thing for me, though. Going up there is one gigantic distraction, and I'm going to have a full course load. (Staying home may also mean he doesn't get to see Oliver, unless Mom wants to bring him up every once in a while, but then someone has to walk him.) I'm sure it's distracting for him, too. I'm just another excuse to play video games. ^^; I'll probably only go up when I need to, or just once in a while.

I needed to change my schedule, too, because Topics in Astronomy (I have to take a lab science class) is actually being offered in the evening and I needed to jump on that in case it didn't come up again. There was no real conflict.

So, four days a week, I start classes at 4:35pm, and I get out at either 7:30 or 7:55. Friday has nothing. Saturday is drawing. Mom looked at the schedule (I e-mailed it to her earlier) and said it looked good. I found at least one class I can take for the winter session. There's a possibility of a second one, but it requires me to be there all day, so I would have to work something out with the boss... maybe working a little longer each day or something. Although now that I think about it, that won't work unless I come in earlier each day, not leave later, because the first class would meet from 5:45-9:05 two days a week.

All I have to do now is figure out loans... because Mom's going to up my rent. I told her a long time ago she could, and she's been trying not to, but she can't handle everything on her own with what I'm contributing. I could do TuitionPay and spread the cost of the semester over five months, but... eh. I'll probably just do what I was thinking and take out a loan. It'll be easier that way. All I'll have to worry about is books. Might go to the financial aid office tomorrow and ask them for guidance--this is the first time I'm having to figure out the whole loan thing.
