A recap of the day

     Today was filled with stressful parts. My mom demanded an explanation as to how I got into the loan situation. Truthfully, I told her how the situation went down. She thinks that the school got over on me and is trying to milk money out of me. The whole time she spoke to me, I thought about how I’ve gotten over it. It feels great to have some closure on this ordeal, and I am ready to go on with my life.

     I feel grateful for the most horrible experience I have had up to date. Good gracious it lasted for two years. My gratitude stems from the ability to connect with people and to sincerely feel compassion for others. I wouldn’t have changed my major in that case. Most likely if I didn’t change from a Literature major to a Psychology major, I would’ve failed in trying to be a professor. There’s nothing entirely new that I could bring to the table. It’s not like I can keep a professor job due to a published novel. The most creative writing exposure I could get comes from OD and other journal sites. I just don’t want to turn a subject that I love into something I’d come to dread.

    Psychology is a better choice for me. I want to help people deal with their problems from a scientific approach. I also like biology and chemistry. The math portion will make me nervous, but I am going to go to study groups. The only reason that I didn’t decide to become a Psych major was because I was really shy and didn’t think that I can deal with people. Not being shy to the point of social anxiety disorder is great. No more fearing people for no reason. I still am afraid of my mother sometimes, but I am building up courage everyday.

   There’s a potential snag in my plans. For financial aid, I was going to put that I’m independent. Really I am. The only thing that I don’t have is housing of my own. I’m temporarily living with my mom. It would be better if I had the W-2 form that I wasn’t able to get. I’m going to send an e-mail to the person responsible for it to see if I could pick up a copy now that I have a place to live and a valid DC non drivers ID.

   Tomorrow might be a busy day because I have to go up to the community college to fill out the application, and I have to go up to my old high school to have them send over my transcript to the community college. Then I have to go to my bank for help and to Borders to ask for an interview.
