School

Soo I'm starting school this next fall!  Well, going back to school.  I'm excited and nervous.  I'm worried about my classmates, because I have to take some lower-level classes that will probably have silly freshmen in it and I feel so old in comparison.  Which is so funny because a lot of the time I feel young when comparing myself with the people I work with, my sisters, and people in the ward.  There are a lot of life experiences that I haven't experienced yet which makes me young in comparison.  Anyway, that was random, but something I've been thinking about.

The exciting news!  I did get the scholarship I was hoping for.  It's about half tuition for two years, which will help us a little, but soo much.  Trevor got a scholarship for next year, too.  He had a scholarship before, which was for four semesters, so it "expired" last semester.  He got a nice big grant (because he didn't make much in 2011 and where was I almost the whole year not making any money?) which is how we paid for school the last two semesters.  The scholarship he just got is a small one from the department and only for the next year.  Not even half tuition, but every little bit helps.  And that also means that he can reapply and hopefully get something better the following year.

USU finally put what times the classes would be offered for next semester so I've been trying to figure out what classes I'll be taking.  There are three political science classes I have to take - which are all only offered at one time.  Then I'll be doing a history minor, I decided, so I think I'll take a couple of history classes.  If I get into all the classes I want then I'll have classes mostly on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.  One class on Tuesday and nothing on Thursday.  Which will hopefully give me time to have a part-time job.  Speaking of, there really won't be any way to keep working full-time because of the times of those classes that I have to take.  Which will be a really weird change.  I really do like my job.  But also an exciting change.  I'll really have to commit to school.  And maybe, because my boss people like me so much, I'll be able to stay with Conservice and switch to a different department where I can work part-time.  Hopefully my schedule will at least allow for that!

It will be so great to be in school again and even greater to graduate and finish up in a few years!  Trevor and I will probably finish at the same time with our bachelors and then who knows where we'll end up?!  Wherever the winds take us!  So cool!
