Everyone keeps saying that getting into college and Uni is hard. I applied to CDI College for the Massage Therapy course on Monday January 9th, and if everything goes well (though a lot hectic and chaotic) I will/should be starting on Monday January 16th 2006. It's either start now or wait until October, and I don't want to wait that long. Now, major downsides are:

1) 2 year course, costing appox. $25,000.
2) My second week will be so chaotic it's not funny. 8am-1pm is the beginning of the Actual course, and 2pm-7pm, the same week, is when I take one of the pre-qualifying classes for the Massage Therapy course.

So I just learned today that there's someone else in the same boat that I'm in, so that makes me feel a little bit better, and she also has a car. My Admissions Advisor is going to ask her if it's alright if I come with her when she goes to the Pre-Science.

Called my family (not including my father, yet) and they were all pretty much happy for me. My mother called me from her cellphone on her way back to Roebuck, and I told her the news and what not. Then after all the "I'm happy and proud for you's" I asked if she would be able to give me some money to help with school and bills and what not, then she turns it around to a slight at me saying (not exactly verbatim)

"This is what happens when you leave stuff until the last minute Chuck."

Then I exploded on her, telling her that unless she knew the whole circumstance and events then she could say something. And then I added, "So fuck off." then there was silence on her end of the line, and she was giving me the "I'm sending you on a guilt trip" tone of voice. I felt bad about it, still do, but the thing is she's the one that lashed out and pushed my buttons, which she's done all my life (if I can remember correctly) and I'm sick and tired of it and since I've been out of the house for 4 years, to me, she has no right and if she goes and pushes those buttons again, I'll lash out all I want. Anywho, I don't want to bash my mother anymore. So yeah, there's my post in all it's randomness. Enjoy if you can, post replies if ya want. Talk atcha'll later.
