So...

Not sure yet, but there may be a change of plans coming. Well, sort of. I'm still going to get my AS in Fine Arts. Afterward, though, I might stay at LaGuardia and get an AAS in Veterinary Technology. I already e-mailed the program director to ask about one of my grades (the B from ENG101 at Brooklyn College, which I explained could have been an A under normal circumstances), and she said the B shouldn't be an issue since they accepted students with a 3.3 into the program, so one B won't kill me. (Jhony made it sound worse during New Student Seminar, but it could be that I'm mixing up the difficulty for Vet Tech with that of nursing.) The program director (Prof. Sturtz, who just judging from her reply seems like a nice woman) offered to send me a new handbook since they just changed their curriculum, and told me to feel free to ask any other questions. If the curriculum doesn't change too much, I should have all my general education requirements all set by the time I try to enter the program, and I'll be able to go straight into the good stuff.

This would mean lots of science courses and getting used to things I've never really dealt with, but I'm thinking of doing it for two reasons:

One, animals. Even if it does involve regularly look at the insides of them. It'd be satisfying. I'd be doing something.

Two, stability. Because postings for vet techs are everywhere. And LaG's program is the cheapest. I could go elsewhere and do it, but it'd make no sense. I'm already enrolled in a school that has it, and I wouldn't have to worry about transferrability of credits because they're the school's classes.

I just told Mom a little while ago, and she made this noise when I mentioned the fact that vet tech is a daytime-only major because of when the classes are held, but screw it. Vet tech was supposed to be my major in the first place. I'm not definitely going to do it at this point, but the option is there.
