Location: Phoenix Metro Train
Time: 0800
I was called a week ago by a supervisor asking if I could work today and I jumped on the chance. I asked why the schedule wasn't updated the last time I worked and just got a shrug, but found out there were two people working at the slot. I guess since I was only seven minutes early and the other person was already there I lost out on it. Such bullshit.
Classes just started @ ASU and this kinda heralds back to my freshman year some odd years ago. I'm so glad I cut my classes down to four a semester and not working 40 hours a week. I ended up dropping out back then more for financial reasons than anything else, but my grades started suffering towards the end. My GPA dipped down to 3.2 and now its gonna bite me in the ass.
I just met with an advisor at the Honors College (biggest in the world, or so they boast) to ask some admissions questions.
Plus: there's no cap for how many transfer student they admit, unlike freshmen and sophmores.
Minus: you need a 3.6 GPA to be considered when their website claims 3.2 .
I'll have to wait until my grades come out and I'm shooting for straight A's for the whole Med school thing anyways, but its still a bit frustrating.
Two weeks probabld isn't a long enough time to judge, but if I keep getting slow hours @ work I'll have no problem juggling work and school. Between the GIBill and some loans I won't be too worried about money, but I'm still waiting for the checks to come in and these car repairs are eating into my budget (which is why I'm riding the train).
So, not such a funny post. I'm thinking about going into my Comedy fetish and spinning my fear of crowds and public speech into it. Be prepared for light chuckles.
