well.

Now that I’ve gotten that sob story out of the way….Here’s what (else) is going on:

The game plan now is working on my TSM degree online. However, I found only select courses are offered through Murray online and the rest is a dual enrollment program with OCTC. Guess what? Classes at OCTC start today! I’m in the student lounge waiting for the registrar’s office to open so I can attempt to schedule.

Also, after this I need to get in contact w/ my MSU advisor and see if he managed to get me in the class I needed.

There’s still a chance I might be screwed all the way around. Not just from moving but taking classes at all. But, here’s some optimism that things go well!

UPDATE: Surprisingly managed to get into all my classes both at MSU and OCTC. Taking half online and half on campus.

These past few weeks have been insanely stressful but there’s plenty to be optimistic about. One step at a time.

Today marks a month of living in Bowling Green.

I also picked up a weightlifting class to work on getting in shape. Who says broadening horizons has to always be mental?

A new semester

Books… check

Coffee…check
Okay, good to go. If I had to pick a way to end out the summer last weekend definitely would have been it. Crowd Control’s first party, “Electro Boogaloo” was Friday night in Evansville…It was a complete blast. The DJs sets were completely on point, the energy and atmosphere was hype and not to mention getting to hear Curtis B… That was just FUN. After the party I had a chance to get closer to some of the group and kick back and relax.Pics will probably be posted soon. Can’t wait for the next one!

It’s my second day and words can’t explain how enthralled I am. It’s strange. So familiar yet still new…Once again, I’m a regular college kid, in a college town living a college lifestyle. So many burdens have fallen away and this opportunity is incredible. Bits and pieces definitely remind me of UK though (the good parts) Java City has replaced the mezzo in between classes. A secluded area behind the library has replaced the same behind the Office Tower. I might even be getting another Research Assistant position in the Political Science department!

Once again sitting in a computer lab during that lovely break in between classes…I’m loving both the campus and the people. I can’t wait to see where this takes me.

This has been a hectic but very productive and rewarding day. Drove down to Bowling Green because I was tired of being transferred to multiple people / departments. I was VERY pleased with the treatment I received once I was in person. My financial aid situation was sorted within 5 minutes and I can now say I’m registered and have a tentative graduation date of May 2011. Still majoring in PoliSci and added Psychology for a minor. I’m also very excited about my schedule. I’m taking 3 upper level classes: two for my major and one for my minor alongside two geneds I have to take thanks to the lovely transfer.I’m never transferring again. lol

But, one of my geneds? Philosophy: Truth and Relativism. The course description was “Is there such a thing as Truth? What is real? If there is Truth and reality, how can we know them?” Can we say FUN?

I spent a few hours trying to get acclimated to both the campus and the town and was astonished to find how much I like the campus. The fine arts building is incredible…the decor and architecture I find a lot more pleasing than MSU, UK or KWC…I don’t use the term often but after registering I found myself giddy. Everything is slowly coming together…just takes a little bit of work.

In moving news, I pushed back my date by a few days. Unless something goes absolutely insane I’m moving out on August 7th–I have my apt until the 15th just in case of emergencies. Utilities are schedule to be shut off by then as well and the u-haul has been reserved…literally the only thing left to do is get some boxes and pack this stuff up!

But, tonight serves to be well and truly relaxing with the Crowd Control Crew dropping some house and breaks over at the mall.
