| Ahaha.
I took that class because I was already good at it, so I wanted an easy class.
But as long as you try, there's no way you can do badly, it seems.

| I was taking the classes for a Graphic Arts and Design Associate's Degree.
Needless to say I eventually dropped out. Between two teachers, the one I needed the most help with in those classes was too busy playing with his kid's rock tumbler to do his job.
And he kept wondering why I was failing or worse. I was good at most programs, but the projects he had us doing were damn near impossible if you'd never even dealt with these types of programs before.

| Wow, that's weird.
I used to have a rock tumbler. It takes so long...
Anyway, yeah, I can see how it would be hard. Those programs, even though they're supposed to make it easier, are pretty hard to figure out if you don't have someone there to give you hints and suggestions.
But man, that sucks.

| I ended up pretty much playing the entire school program by ear unless I had the female teacher that lol's a lot. She thought I was the best thing since sliced cheese.
....
Mm.. Cheese.
I'm hungry.

| And cheese is a wonderful, wonderful thing. Yes?
Hm. I'm getting ready to go off to school in the fall. I'm so looking forward to it.

| I'm going to be working mainly. Hopefully. If I don't get a job, I'll be going to school nearby full time. We can't afford anything too fancy.

|
| Yeah. Me either.
I've had the same job for four years, and now I have to find a new one. WAH. my first job, and I can't keep it because I'll be to far away. I'm so nervous that I might not be able to get a job. That would be awful.
I can't afford to live and go to school full time without a job.

| You could always apply for FAFSA. I think that's what it's called.
Anyway, it's complete financial aid based on your parents or your taxes. IT'll help you out if they can with a lot of the costs. But otherwise, good luck finding a job.
Lord knows I need it. :< I can't get one to save my life, I'm always just SO CLOSE to it.

| Yeah, when I filled out the fafsa they said they'd pay me about 200 bucks.
because I have been saving up for college for...forever basically, and they expect the student to pay 90% of the money they own, or something like that.

I usually get about 1k or something when I apply. That really sucks. D:

|
|
| Yeah.
I have about 14k saved up, and they expect me to not use any of that for important things like, I don't know, FOOD.
It's a little ridiculous. I've gotten a bit of money from the school, and hopefully my dad will chip in too.
I'm sure I'll manage.

| I usually have stories of me being stupid, and so here's one:
I made the mistake of inviting a guy to see a movie with me. It was Wolverine so I didn't think it was a date or anything, except he did. Then, if I wasn't idiotic enough, I said goodbye to him (the way I do this is by tackling the person and hugging the crap out of them). I came into school the next day, and he told EVERYONE that I'm his girlfriend. Yay, I'm stupid!

| I wouldn't call that stupid.
Maybe naive? But a mistake lots of people could make.
Besides, what guy jumps to conclusions like that after one "date"?

| That's easy, Co'a. The desperate ones!
And ugh, good luck with your schooling.
And that sucks, Gretta. I've NEVER had that problem, thank god. I'm just generally keeping to myself most of the time. I always end up going to the movies by myself or something.
More fun that way because then I can laugh or do whatever I want without embarassing someone else. xD

nice.
Well, going to the movies by yourself if fun, but getting a huge group of friends together is even better. I love going to the movies with groups of like, eleven people. XD
