Well here we go, going back to school was at one time just a thought....
I decided to go back. Sure.
I jumped through the hoops. Yes.
I got my registration done. You bet.
Still with all that, it was months and months away, it didn't seem real.
Now...
I have orientation August 24th...
I have a school schedule....
I have tuition waiting payment....
Now it seems real.
My last day at this job is August 18th.
I got word yesterday on my part time work over the school year. We are set for at least the first year with a lot of work, but no debt.
I will we working Evenings on the Information Systems help desk on campus for $15/hour and pulling in 26 hours a week in work.
It looks like I should pretty easily be able to get in 3 one and a half hour Resistance sessions, 1 swimming session and a running session most weeks. Might ride to work on Saturdays as well weather permitting as there is no bus in the AM, well no good one anyhow.
Now it all seems VERY real.
I am ready to do this. Let's get it ON!!!!!!!

Great job! I am very excited for you and wish you success. The way you have so thoroughly planned though, I doubt you have anything but total success in your future.
Congrats, Og. It's great to see you so enthusiastic. It seems not that long ago you were down in the dumps about your go-nowhere job. I'm really glad things are working out for you. Like Erika said, with this sound planning, success is yours for the taking. Looking forward to future reports!

That sounds awesome. I too am going to school and love it. Going to the U of C? I love school. Its alot of work but very good times. Plus I find being on campus makes it easy to hit the gym since its so close. got a 1 hour break between classes? Thats prime gym time!
