Aimee, I'd say take a look at community college, unless it's going to really put you far behind paying UoP.

I say take the classes, baby.

Hell, I wish I could go back to school, but gods know how I'd pull it off.

But you...yeah, don't lose the momentum.

Aimee, that's exactly what I did. I owed my first university a bunch of money, and community colleges don't care about having the transcript. You should be able to figure out what classes you're going to need, and just start with that. That's an absolutely smart decision right there, girl.

Also, have I mentioned lately what an amazing landlord I have? It just needs to be said again. Amazing. Really, really amazing.

As someone who works at a college- I would say take the classes, but definitely make 100% sure with the college/uni you want to get your degree with that they will transfer from the particular community college you are going to, if that makes sense. My uni, for example, simply does not accept any math, science or computer classes from community colleges. You should contact the advising or admissions office at the college you want your degree from.

Aimee, also look into the Honors program at the community college. I know a bunch of community colleges (including the one I went to) will give a "scholarship" to their honors courses. The classes are smaller and all honors students and the tuition is waived.

If I continue at U of Phoenix, they should transfer just fine. At least, the other classes I took at this comm college transferred just fine.

I acquired the superstition that you're supposed to have your tree out of the house before New Year's.

Weird. Tree doesn't go until Twelfth Night!

Aimee, I'd say take the classes, unless the money you use for them is going to keep you from being able to pay off your tuition a UoP for too long.

Gonna get my student loan money back and use it here instead. That way, won't have to start paying them back which is another reason to take classes.

Let's look into it. Eastern and WCC have night classes. We could work it. We always do, babe. Student loans and grandparents. I mean shit, isn't handy babysitters one of the freaking reason we moved to where there is snow and ice and cold and gray for 6 months?

In my un-sentimental holiday world, the tree goes out whenever the city is sending the truck around to pick them up!

Thank-you notes, on the other hand, definitely do have to be handwritten and in the mail by New Year's, or I can't face my mother.

also, even though there are a lot of things that I wouldn't decorate my own house with, I love it all. Even the stupid inflatable things. I prefer lights and old fashioned and homemade but I just kind of dig the excess decorating. Of course, I live where I live. Just a few blocks from here:
