I was allowed to come home from Vermont Saturday morning! The past two weeks have been an example of why my company is in such dire straits.

March 28th is student orientation. I get my ID and register for classes. The Fall Semester begins August 26th, (in)conveniently the week before Dragon*Con. Glad that I'm going to C2E2 as my con for the year and not D*C.

Dragon Con always interferes with the first week of classes for me too at the county college.
I'm psyched to be working on Legally Blonde! I'm the dresser for the main character and I made a couple of her key costumes!

WOW! A key costume maker! Will you be able to put this on your resume, too? Your career councilor had a great idea putting your TJA and RL participation on your resume. You're a leader, and that's a good quality in an employee.

Alrighty! I've made the leap of faith and am now a full-time college student, for real! I spoke with my parents last night about being a full-time unemployed college student for a few years and got their consent and blessing. I also seeked the advice of my Physician Dr. M and he advised that I'll be working on living people, and that "moonlighting" while in Nursing School wasn't such a great idea. If I did have to "moonlight", then do something that's nursing related. I'm all registered full-time at SUNY Dutchess. I have to speak to my guidance councilor about playing the rules for the Spring Semester to maintain funding from my student loan and any grants I might get for academic excellence. Dr. M told me that business credits are the way to go for the Spring Semester, and that would put me closer to be a Nursing Adminisrator. I almost have a BS Business management, and only need my 2 Accounting courses to fufil that requirement. This is 1 of the accelerated BS RN prorams that I will be applying to: www.pace.edu/lienhard/combined-degree

So glad to hear you've got progress and a family thumbs-up on the move to school! It's best to get that done full time. How long will you be in school? Will there be any work internships?
I got my taxes done today no refund, but nothing owed either -- I hate waiting to the last minute, but there always seems to be some form with some correction that rolls in on March.

It'll take me 2 1/2 years to get a BS degree. Pace allows you to take 1 1/2 to 2 years to complete the accelerated program. My physician advised against working while in an accelerated program because it's faster paced and I'll be too busy to have a job.

I got my new Passport today, good thing, I fly to the UK on tuesday next week. I also got a passport card, a great photo ID, since I don't drive, I won't have to tote the passport everywhere anymore. Everything is paid for now, except food and entertainments. Yay!

Nice, Nova!!! I always use my passport for id at the airport... my Drivers licence still has a pic with my hair dark! Some good news here... a friend of mine just GAVE me a serger!!!! It was sitting in the closet at the elementary school he works at and they were getting rid of it! It's a singer... now I just have to download the manuals and learn how to use it! I know first off that I have to replace the needles... After my Legally Blonde run is done, I'll be able to focus on it! Nova when we eventually get together you can maybe show me some stuff!

Sure, I hope to get over there after I get back from the UK. What model is your serger? Singer makes the model I have from Kenmore, so they might be very much the same thing.

WooHoo! :-) I finally got my hands on the Limited Edition of "Dressing the Galaxy" I found a new, mint copy that I could afford, so I ordered it. It should come next week, at last!
